This is an amazing find.A lady in Greensboro, N.C. bought this car new at Friendly Ford in Greensboro.She drove it keeping it in a garage until 1985.She stopped driving it in 1985.I don t know why.The 85 N.C. inspection sticker is still on the windshield and the 1975 N.C.license plate with 1985 sticker is in the trunk. The car was still in the garage when I bought it from her niece who had inherited it. but the roof was leaking causing some surface rust on the top and drivers side fender and door see pictures.The car is in really good shape for nearly 50 years old.The interior is pretty  nice .The door panels  are in good shape as is the back seat.The seat belts in the back are from sears and roebuck the ones in the front are original.The cloth part of the front seat is torn but the vinyl is in good shape.The headliner has 2 small mice holes in it about the size of a pencil eraser and the dash pad is cracked.The floor mat is in good shape no cracks or tears.The body has very little rust there is some in both quarters at the back of the wheel opening probably a rats nest.I tried to lift the trunk mat but it was stuck and I didn t want to tear it.We bent the drivers door and edge of the quarter unloading it off the trailer.The bumpers need re-chroming.The trim looks good but I hadn t tried to clean it up.The jack ,jack handle and spare tire and hold down stuff is still in the trunk.The paint inside the trunk and lid is in good shape as are the jacking instructions.The owners manual and good driver manual owner card and N.C. inspection receipts back til 1967 are in the dash pocket.The engine is seized but it is all there and I assume it needs some brake work. .You could get the engine running paint the exterior repair the front seat put a dash pad on it probably put some tires on it they hold air but they have been on there since 1985 I know and have a beautiful driver or completely restore it and have a show car or put a big block or roller motor in it and have a real sleeper.There are some receipts in the dash for oil changes tires and exhaust work.The speedometer has a little over 78000 miles not exactly sure I ll go look if someone really wants to know the car is about 20 miles from here .The 1984 inspection receipt has 75654 miles on it .I probably have left something out but I ve talked enough.I just think this an amazing find.I have title in hand.The car is in Denton,N.C. about the center of the state.The car will roll and the tires are inflated and I will help load it Please look at pictures and ask questions.Thanks for looking.

Ford made three big mistakes in calculating MPG for 2013 C-Max Hybrid

Tue, Jun 17 2014

It's been a rough time for the official fuel economy figures for the Ford C-Max Hybrid. When the car was released in 2012, Ford made a huge deal about how it would beat the Toyota Prius V, which was rated at 42 combined miles per gallon, 44 city and 40 highway. The Ford? 47 mpg across the board. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? Well, after hearing customer complaints and issuing a software update in mid-2013, then discovering a real problem with the numbers last fall and then making a big announcement last week that the fuel economy ratings of six different 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles would need to be lowered, the C-Max Hybrid has ended up at 40 combined, 42 city and 37 highway. In other words, the Prius trumps it, as daily drivers of those two vehicles have known for a long time. The changes will not only affect the window sticker, but also the effect that the C-Max Hybrid (and the five other Ford vehicles that had their fuel economy figures lowered last week) have on Ford's compliance with greenhouse gas and CAFE rules for model year 2013 and 2014. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? There are two technical answers to that question, which we've got below, as well as some context for how Ford's mistakes will play out in the bigger world of green vehicles. Let's start with Ford's second error, which is easy to do since we documented it in detail last year (the first, needing to do a software update, was also covered). The basic gist is that Ford used the general label rule (completely legally) to test the Fusion Hybrid and use those numbers to figure out how efficient the C-Max Hybrid is. That turned out to be a mistake, since the two vehicles are different enough that their numbers were not comparable, despite having the same engine, transmission and test weight, as the rules require. You can read more details here. Ford's Said Deep admitted that the TRLHP issue is completely separate from the general label error from last year. Now let's move on to last week's announcement. What's interesting is that the new recalculation of the MPG numbers – downward, of course – was caused by a completely separate issue, something called the Total Road Load Horsepower (TRLHP). Ford's Said Deep admitted to AutoblogGreen that the TRLHP issue had nothing to do with the general label error from last year.

Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]

Sat, 09 Mar 2013

Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
