’55 CROWN VICKY, THE CLOSED-BED RANCHERO THAT "SHOULD HAVE BEEN" “Roxanne” was a customized Crown Victoria I bought from a farmer in Vermont in the ‘70s. Unfortunately she was full of rot and bondo and had to be put to rest soon after. But in the early ‘90s, I bought the Crown Vicky that’s listed here with intentions of re-creating Roxanne. Did all of the cutting and some tack welding, and acquired a second trunk lid and a ’55 or ‘56 Ford station wagon rear window to weld in for her rear window, as the original car had. Typical story, ran out of time and money, and here she sits, in dry storage for over 20 years. The car is extremely solid, with some rust through in the lower rear quarters and lower fenders, but none in the floors or trunk, and the frame is extremely solid, even though it’s crusty and flaky with surface rust. One body mount is rusted through. The front crossmember is in great shape and they are known to rot out. On a couple of the photos of the underside you'll see places I sanded with 60 paper to bare metal to show that it's really not as bad as it looks underneath. The transmission tunnel is cut for a floor shift, but currently it’s got its original automatic on the column. There are numerous dents that need to be fixed. There is no interior aside from a ’64 Galaxie bench seat. The dash is intact. Doors are gutted but the window frames and regulators are present, along with power window motors. The stock 272 V8 is complete and will run, but needs a 6-volt battery. Included is a set of exterior stainless moldings which combined with what’s on the car should be more than enough to have a complete set in great shape on the car. Unfortunately the center piece of the interior crown is missing and the two side pieces are in bad shape. This is a big project, but a project well worth doing. If you’ve seen other mid-fifties Fords and Chevys converted in this way you will appreciate how the back of the roofline and the rear window look so much more natural on this car than most. Roxanne’s trunk was opened by hydraulic cylinders which made it easy. I also thought of having a way to make the trunk quickly removable for open pickup use. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET!

Want to buy a brand-new 1964 Ford Mustang? [w/video]
Wed, Mar 18 2015Even in its current iteration, the Ford Mustang is not without its share of heritage design cues. But if it's a more classic look of the first-gen pony car you're after, combined with modern levels of equipment, Revology just might have the answer. The Orlando-based company makes what you might call "continuation" Mustangs, using replica steel bodies made by Dynacorn and licensed by Ford to give it that classic look, but with modern technology. Under the skin you'll find a 5.0-liter fuel-injected V8 with 265 horsepower and either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, but the powertrain is just the start. It's also got a MacPherson strut suspension, disc brakes, power steering and a cabin equipped with such modern accoutrements as power door locks and seats, keyless entry, intermittent wipers, even Bluetooth connectivity. And it's all covered by a one-year, unlimited-milage warranty, plus five-year corrosion protection and three-year powertrain warranty. Of course none of that comes cheap, as a turnkey Revology Mustang will set you back at least $119,500, in the buyer's choice of fastback or convertible body-styles. The first example was unveiled at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance this past weekend, with the first customer examples set for delivery next year. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford exec downplays idea of aluminum-intensive cars
Thu, Jan 15 2015Ford certainly made waves when it rolled out the all-new 2015 F-150 made primarily out of aluminum. But while trimming weight off its vehicles is a top priority for the Detroit automaker, we shouldn't expect the lightweight metal to be used as widely on passenger cars as it has been on its new pickup. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress on Wednesday, top Ford exec Joe Hinrichs said that using aluminum in passenger cars isn't as beneficial as it is in trucks – primarily because the weight savings isn't as dramatic, or as deeply needed. Though improved fuel economy is certainly one advantage of aluminum construction in a truck like the F-150, low prices at the pump have prompted Ford to highlight another advantage, and that's capability: With less weight on its own, a lighter-weight truck can carry and tow more than a heavier one, because it all comes down to combined weight ratings. Ford is expected to make the new F-Series Super Duty largely out of aluminum for the same reasons, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the next Expedition use the material as well. But while certain components in Ford passenger cars will be made of aluminum, we shouldn't expect entire chassis and bodywork assemblies to use the material as extensively as on the F-150, or on more upscale passenger cars from the likes of Audi or Jaguar. Dearborn is, however, investing in other lightweight materials. It has a joint venture with Dow Chemical to put carbon fiber into mass production, much as BMW has with its i3. The Blue Oval will use a combination of carbon and aluminum on its 2017 GT supercar, and it has stripped weight by removing amenities from the 2016 Mustang GT350R, but apparently neither is a method Ford can practically apply to its volume models.
