This car is in GREAT condition for it's age and for never having been restored. It was last driven to a car show in 2003 and parked in heated underground storage since. This car does not currently run, but could easily be fired up with the freshening up of the fuel system, clean out the old gas, remove varnish and possibly rebuild the carb. We have not tried to fire this motor because we don't want to damage it. A true collector may want to have this motor examined and/or preserved so we elected to leave it in it's current state.
Overall this car looks great, it's got blemishes - some of the chrome is pitting or scuffed in spots, and the paint is a little dull and checkered from age. The electrical works well, the horn works, dome light works, turn signals and high/low beams all work. The wipers seem to be having a problem as well as the original AM radio, you can hear the radio power up and the speakers click on, but you cannot get any reception or static from it. The underside of this car shows little to no rust. There are a couple of rust bubble on the body, but not much at all to speak of. It still has the original jack and spare tire in the trunk. This car could be put in a museum as it, completely restored, or just made to drive and be proud of it's "patina"
We also have 3, ten minute HD videos of this car in detail on YouTube, complete walk-around, inside and out, all electrical functions, etc.. Just ask and we can send you the URL links. There will be no disappointments or surprises with this car. It's a rare find in this condition!
Good luck and thanks for looking!

MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
2015 Ford Edge debuts with fresh tech inside and out
Tue, 24 Jun 2014
Edge will be the first Ford-badged product to come standard with EcoBoost power.
Ford officially unveiled the all-new, third-generation Edge today at its Dearborn home, announcing that the latest version of the popular crossover will ride on the same CD4 architecture that underpins the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. The Edge will also be the first Ford-badged product to come standard with EcoBoost power.
Autocar pits Formula Ford against Germany's finest
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford has quite the racing pedigree, but usually, its racers are relegated to the track. Not the new Formula Ford EcoBoost, though. It's a turbocharged, open-wheeled racer complete with a 200-horsepower, 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine... and it's legal on the roads of the UK.
That's stressed in this video from Autocar, with the mag going so far as to show the car's tax disc and license plates. Being a road-legal offering, it's tempting to see just how well an open-wheeler that delivers racecar-like performance while also netting over 100 miles per gallon (assume this is on the British cycle, for obvious reasons) stacks up against modern performance cars.
Autocar lined up the Formula Ford against an Audi R8 V10, a BMW M6 Gran Coupe and a Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG in a number of situations to see which would come out on top. Take a look below for the full video.
