Summer is here and you need a good, great value cruiser, so your search may be over.
This nice driver quality T'Bird has a nice look with the fresh blue paint and will make you look good as you pull in to your local cruise-in with the classic style that everybody loves. The power is supplied by a strong running 390 v8 coupled to a NEW automatic transmission.
I am assisting the owner of this classic and he needs to quick sale price it so he can go back to France for a month. According to the owner, there is some water leakage at the cowl area although not too bad, some very minor rust in the trunk pan and cowl area, and a slight exhaust leak at the manifold pipe. He does have a new gasket for you to install to stop the leak. All power windows work, but 2 switches are touchy, so he will provide 2 new ones with the sale. The ignition works fine, but sometimes requires a little " jiggle " of the key - an easy fix. The hood release cable is operated by the included vice grips. About once a month you need to top off the power steering fluid, so a new seal may be in order in the future.
The car runs, drives, shifts, and stops very well. The lights, signals, horn, heater, and all gauges work as they should. Even the chrome is pretty decent and the car was just re-painted back to the original color & it looks great. New carpet and trunk kit were also added. Some pictures may still show the light blue color from before the re-paint, but it has been painted since these pictures were taken. The interior is pretty decent with only 1 or 2 small tears in the headliner that are not very obvious. The unibody undercarriage is pretty good with typical Ohio surface rust, but nothing that would be alarming to me.
If you have less than 3 positive eBay feedback, please send me your name and phone number BEFORE you bid, or your bid may be cancelled. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required to be received within 48 hours of auction end with balance due in cash or bank wire transfer received within 7 days of end of auction. I recommend that you come to see and drive the car and can arrange a private showing for you. The car is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel this ad at any time. Reserve is VERY modest for a car like this. Call Jack at 330/389-0456 with any questions or to schedule a private viewing.

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a track-day weapon with 500 hp
Mon, 17 Nov 2014
Ford promises more than 500 horsepower and a torque peak above 400 lb-ft.
The wait is finally over. After months of spy shots, rumor and innuendo, Ford has officially pulled the wraps off its new Shelby GT350. Judging by the spec sheet and the promises being made - especially that the Shelby GT350 will be "an all-day track car that's also street legal" - the wait appears to have been worth it.
2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.
Production of Shelby GT350 is coming to an end
Fri, 26 Jul 2013One Autoblog staffer who drove the limited-edition Shelby GT350 wrote it probably was the best Mustang he'd driven, but, at some point, the fun had to come to an end: December 31 is the last day the GT350 will be available to order.
The GT350's option list has evolved much like it did for the original 1965-67 GT350. For 2011, the 45th Anniversary edition only came in coupe form and was painted white with blue stripes, just as with the 1965 car. The 2012 GT350 was offered as a coupe or convertible, and three colors were added to the option list, just like the 1966 model. For 2013, more colors and options were added in addition to equipment and styling updates, which resulted in Wilwood instead of Baer brakes. No major changes were made for the 2014 model. From the first car in 2011, customers have been able to choose between three different configurations for their 5.0-liter V8: naturally aspirated with 440 horsepower, supercharged with 525 hp (with warranty) or supercharged with 624 hp (without warranty).
"When we unveiled this latest version of the Shelby GT350, we promised it would be built for a limited time to preserve its collectability and value," states John Luft, president of Shelby American. He may have a point, because the original GT350, which also had a limited production run, is among the most valuable muscle cars in the world.
