PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE BIDDING

This is a car that is 95% plus complete on the build and restoration. Straight body, interior is new and complete, the engine is all there, just needs the new MSD ignition hooked up to the megasquirt EFI brain (it's in the car and just needs to be wired in) and to be tuned. It has aluminum heads, roller rockers, new cam, and the intake is a tunnel ram custom fitted with 8 procomp EFI injector bodies with velocity stacks controlled by a megasquirt brain (almost $5k just in the custom EFI intake and electronics). The short block had between 3k to 5k miles on it when I bought the car and was told it was a 300hp crate motor. Turbo 350 tranny, newly rebuilt 373 10 bolt rear. New springs, shocks, brakes, brake lines, drums and disks, (everything looks new underneath and inside the car) new tires on 17" SS Cragar wheels, new side pipe exhaust, new stainless steel dash with all new gauges, including toggle EFI fuel pump switch and button start, new billet/wood steering wheel. Paint looks decent but is 10 years old (some scratches and cracks here and there) black with a hint of red metal flake. It does come with a steel hood with I believe a 4" cowl, but will still need to be cut to fit the custom EFI intake and injector unit. 

I hate to sell this car before it's complete, but I lost my job and I need living expense money.  I am not a mechanic either, so I won't be able to answer a lot of the technical questions as I paid to have the work that was done to it. I will try and answer any general questions though. 

As a note, we did have the engine running (see video) with the EFI and it had a miss/pop or something in it and I was told they thought it was the cheap Chinese ignition we had and it was bugged, so I just spent almost $600 on an MSD package that included the box, coil, distributor and wires and have that on the car now, but it's not yet tied into the EFI brain as I have no clue how. So it has all of the parts installed and ready to run, no need to buy anything else to complete the car mechanically. 

Oh on the intake, the guy who built this actually builds custom intakes and injector units for all sorts of different cars and his work has been featured in magazines, so it is a quality custom build. 

The buyer will be responsible for shipping or local pick up in Cocoa Beach, FL. 32931 zip.

Low listing price compared to what I have invested in this car as I need to sell it for living expenses. This is a really cool car, especially for the price. Someone is going to be very happy to get a nearly completed project that will be so much fun to drive and a major head turner when done! 

Good luck and happy bidding.

Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.

Ford looks to space robots to improve car-to-car communications [w/video]

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Ford has partnered with St. Petersburg Polytechnic University for three years to research various kinds of connected vehicle communications. The university tie-up is part of its study of space robots, NASA systems created to enable space-to-Earth communication, and the university's own development of systems that enable communication between the International Space State and Earth.
The objective is for Ford to engineer layers of robust networks and redundancy systems that will allow your car to speak to other cars, to emergency vehicles, to infrastructure like traffic lights and buildings, and to the cloud. Benefits would come in just about every area of transit, from avoiding accidents, to getting medical workers to an accident more quickly, to improving the flow of traffic during rush hour.
Check out the press release below for details on what Ford wants to learn from the JUSTIN Humanoid and NASA Robonaut R2, and a video of technical leader Oleg Gusikhin discussing his interest in the project.
