Cruise-O-Matic transmission (original)
Wimbleton white with original blue interior.
352 CID/4bbl (original engine)
3:11 diff. w/31 spline axels

Truly as rust free as I've ever, a northern Colorado car. Absolutely complete! Rockers, floors and trunk are solid. Body is straight. You will have to look very hard to find another Skyliner as rust free as this. All trim is complete. Top works fine but needs usual adjustments. I have installed a 10 position switch in the door jamb where it is hidden to operate any top solenoid individually.

It has the rare factory optional "Flying Ellipse" hood ornament. It also has optional reverse lights, "day/nite" mirror, traffic light viewer, seat belts front/rear, rocker panel trim, stainless steel skirts and a trailer hitch with a flat 4 connector. Original interior except carpet has been replaced. Everything works except the clock (as usual)! It does include the hard to find "picnic basket" for the trunk and the correct wooden cover for the spare tire (sorry, no spare wheel).

This car is a fine example to drive as it is or it's completeness and condition lends itself to be the perfect example to give a complete restoration.

One picture clearly shows all gages showing good oil pressure, proper charging, full correct temp at idle. This shows the health of the engine as much as I can in a photo. I drive this car on a regular basis.

It does have hand controls installed. They will be removed (take me 10 minutes) if you do not need them. If you require hand controls I will leave them installed at no extra cost.

The things that need attention because I think you would want to know; The diff has a chipped tooth so it whines, easy fix with a new 3rd member. The top stops halfway down due to a broken wire which is also a common problem and an easy fix. The 10 position switch insures the top will always fully retract or raise even with the broken wire.

NOTE:
The rear bumper guards, hand controls and under dash record player shown in the photos are not included! (I may include them if you are a serious buyer) If you need hand controls, I will include them with the car at no charge. There is also no spare wheel or jack. I couldn't find the correct one. But it does include several spare parts and some new extras too.

NEW:

Brakes
Shocks (x4)
3 core radiator
High volume water pump
Belts/cables/hoses
Battery
Fan shroud and flex fan
Motor & transmission mounts
Radial tires wrapped around 15" Torque Thrust wheels (will allow for fitting of disc brakes) (x4)
Master cylinder and rebuilt original brake booster
Door seals and bumpers
Top (roof) and trunk seals
Tinted windshield and gasket ($1900 alone!)
Trunk mat
Trunk liner boards
Exhaust system

REBUILT:

Entire front end (every bushing/bearing, ball joints, springs and seals).
Original power steering system (all new seals and hoses)
Original 352cid 4V (Rebuilt 7k ago) new Edelbrock installed (original 4V Ford carb included)
Original 3sp Cruise-O-Matic transmission (rebuilt 7k ago)
Driveshaft (all new u-joints)
Generator
Starter
Power steer pump and original ram

Serious buyers only PLEASE! I'm not going to accept your Paypal payment, nor will I ever send you money to purchase my car. Scammer, you are wasting your time and I will waste a lot yours if you try.

I may consider interesting trades. Amphicars, Odd cars, micro-cars, pre-1972 convertibles. Send photos and details.

2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.

Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters

Sun, 28 Sep 2014

The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.
