How would you like to drive around in a car that will get stares and “Thumbs Up” from all ages? Do you like get a real bargain? Maybe even a steal.
Well here is your chance. 58 years old and still going strong. This vehicle was given to me by my father prior to his passing in 2008. He purchased the vehicle from a local collector in 2003. It always won a trophy when we entered it into a local care show in the Richmond VA area. Why am I selling it? Good question. This is a wonderful car, but not what I ultimately want. My father had 3 antique cars and this is the one he gave me. I presently don’t have the time to drive it as much as I would like. Doesn’t do anyone any good just sitting in a garage. NOTE: I am not interested in a vehicle trade. What I know about the vehicle… · Partially restored (75-80%) in early 2000 by a local collector. · Garage kept · Interior o Carpet shows normal wear, must not have been included in the restoration. o Seats are clean, no rips or tears. · Exterior o Clean paint job o Normal paint nicks from usage · Engine/Transmission o V8: Not sure if it is a 292 or 312 o Runs great o Will occasionally come out of second gear if not under power. But how often will you stay in Second. o Three-speed on the floor. · Overall o Considered a “30 Footer”. o Will chirp the tires in all three gears. o Hard top convertible. o Continental kit. o Fender Skirts o Speedometer is not hooked up. o Mileage shows mostly Zeros. Not sure of actual mileage. According to NADAGuides, this vehicle price range is: Low Retail: $35,000 Mid Retail: $52,000 Even though it has a few minor issues, in my opinion the car easily exceeds the guidelines of a Low Retail car. If you want more pictures or specific details, please do not hesitate to post a question. I will answer your question as soon as possible and to the best of my ability.

Find out if the Ford Fiesta ST can match Europe's latest hot hatches
Tue, 11 Feb 2014The V8 grunt of the Mustang has defined Ford performance cars in the US for the last 50 years, but in Europe, the Blue Oval has nearly as a long history of building some of the best hot hatches on the market with the Fiesta, Escort and later the Focus. The latest Fiesta ST has just hit the roads on both sides of the pond and has been enthusiastically received thanks to its combination of a peppy, turbocharged engine and hatchback utility.
However, Europe is getting a bumper crop of hot hatches at the moment, including the forthcoming, third-generation Mini Cooper S. Should Ford have waited to launch the ST until it knew how the competition performed? That's the answer that Xcar is after in its latest video, and it took the Fiesta to the track and some very misty, Welsh roads to find out. Scroll down to find out whether the ST stacks up.
Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford
Thu, 16 Oct 2014The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.
