This car is a reliable driving car that needs some tinkering that is all pretty easy small repairs The Mechanical things that need attention -the brakes are really grabby,unless you pump them a little first.Pretty darn sure this is an air bubble and the brakes need to be bleed. -the carb has a bit of run on ,it is running rich and just needs some fine tuning I beilieve(thus the car failed air care in B.C.) -the fuel gauge doesn't work -the horn works but is wired off the dash -the dip stick on the transmission is broken and there is a bit of a leak at the pan,just needs a new gasket.May need linkage adjusted ,needs to warm up before going into drive,once it is warmed up in the morning,it's good for the day -the wiper switch is touchy,(I have a spare) the mechanical that has been replaced in the last year -new brakes,rotors and drums -new shocks -new carb -new tires -steering box -battery -all the turn signals and lights work -the car was bought in Washigton and safety inspected when brought into BC.It is a relatively simple process to import a car into the US -previous owner told me he put a rebuilt 392 in,I have no way of verify this however a compression test was done six months ago and it came out with perfect compression -the vin tag says 352,I can't say this is original motor or not.I am pretty sure it has been rebuilt interior -overall quite nice cloth seats quite obviously redone in the last few years -the seats and are nice no rips no tears -the dash was replaced,no cracks -the drivers seat has a bit of sag like an old but its a detail -the door panels are straight,no wrinkles(the knob to a window roller is missing) -the headliner is nice,a small tear \i have tried to capture in pictures overall a very nice interior the body -there is no trim on the car but I have a trunk full of it.The best I can tell is one of the four pieces of stainless around the back window is missing and some of the ford letters,the rest seems to be all there but I cannot say for sure -the paint is a home job and needs to be redone.It has nicks and scrapes. -the floors are solid no holes -the frame has no rust -the trunk is solid,no holes but there has been some fiberglass repair done on the back panel -there is no rust hols in the body,some surface rust here and there,I am sure there has been fiberglass and Bondo here and there -there has been a bit of a crunch(ie back into a pole at low speed in a parking lot)oops.The back bumper has been pulled out and is straight,however there is a but of repair needed,it was not a high speed accident So in short this is a good running car,I have driven and would drive it on the highway just about anywhere you would drive a 45 year old car.I used it as a daily driver and it was alwasys stellar .I have been using this as daily driver and due to impending move I have to thin down my collection.I encourage you to check out the car or if you have any questions please call me at 778 229 5357 On Sep-12-14 at 11:19:17 PDT, seller added the following information: an addendum.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
Ford Focus refresh shots leak ahead of Geneva
Sun, 23 Feb 2014In case you haven't been paying attention, Ford has been gradually redesigning its lineup to sport a familiar face. The Aston Martin-inspired grille shape debuted on the Fusion and was soon applied to the Fiesta. Even the front end of the new Mustang takes its cues from the same, and we're sure other models will soon be made-over to fall in line. The next on the docket? The Focus.
Set to be unveiled in little over a week at the Geneva Motor Show, the revised Focus has leaked out a tad early, revealing a mild facelift that bears that same trapezoidal grille with horizontal slats. Along with the new grille, the headlights, lower fascia and hood appear to have been reshaped. Around back there appears to be a new rear bumper and taillights, but otherwise the shape remains largely the same as the current model.
Expect the updates to be applied to all bodystyles offered around the world, including the hatchback, wagon and sedan. The engine lineup is expected to carry over largely unchanged, though the plug-in hybrid powertrain from the C-Max Energi could port over to the revised Focus. Plus Ford seems to have taken the opportunity to spruce things up in the cabin some. Check it out in the image gallery above and watch this space for the official announcement as we pack our bags for Switzerland.
Ford starting up 2.0L EcoBoost engine production in Ohio
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of The Americas (pictured above), announced today that in late 2014, the automaker will be building the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder at its Cleveland Engine Plant, a move requiring a $200-million investment and the hiring of 450 new employees. European-built Ford products will continue to source this engine from the Valencia, Spain plant where all of these EcoBoost four-cylinder engines are currently built, and the new Cleveland engines will be used for all North American-made models.
Ford is planning to build its popular EcoBoost engines regionally to maximize production capacity and meet customer demand. Last year, Ford sold 334,364 vehicles with EcoBoost engines in the US alone, and that number is expected to swell to more than 500,000 by the end of this year, with global sales expected to total 1.6 million. By 2015, Ford says that 95 percent of its nameplates will offer an EcoBoost engine.
One such vehicle that could be adding an EcoBoost engine, according to Automotive News, is none other than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The report says that Ford could use either the 2.0-liter EcoBoost or an upcoming 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the sixth-generation pony car.
