All new rod, cam, and main bearings, new flat top pistons, new oil pump and shaft, new plugs etc. Zinc additive added to initial oil change. New exhaust and mufflers. C-4, checked out by mechanic as great, filter and fluid changed. BODY- Entire body was dismantled and blasted, primed with 2K primer. The drivers floor pan and lower rear quarters were the only rusted areas and were replaced. All window tracks were removed, cleaned and re-lubed. Refurbished grill assembly. All turn signal and tail lights were cleaned and re-assembled. Car was mostly shaved and electric door poppers installed. A black basecoat/clearcoat system from NAPA was used to spray the car. INTERIOR-New headliner, rear package tray, carpet and pad, door panels, interior quarter panels, arm rest pads, new dash pad cover, new upholstery on front and rear seats. Front seats are 66 Mustang units. New seat belts up front. trunk divider panel, dome light, ignition switch, glove box liner, refurbished wiring where necessary. Aftermarket hump-hugger console.

Spare tire and all jack hardware, New shocks up front, air shocks in the rear. Replaced gas tank with a known good clean unit. BRAKES- new or rebuilt master cylinder and all wheel cylinders. New brake pads, re-lubed wheel bearings. New idler arm. Car does need front and rear bumpers re-chromed. They are very straight and will need only normal prep. Paint and body are not flawless, some minor dings and a fair amount of swirl marks in clear coat. Looks great at 5 feet but is not a "new car" finish. This car was bought as an unfinished project and then completed so I have only listed what I actually know about it. Speedometer reads 5400 so it has turned over, don't know if that is original unit or not. All said, this is a pretty straight car that is fun to drive and has hard all the hard work done. Has two 100 watt speakers in back but needs a stereo. Feel free to call- 208-888-4543 for questions. |

How Ford hid the 2015 Mustang from spy photographers
Fri, 20 Dec 2013Now that we've finally seen the 2015 Ford Mustang, it's fun to go back and look at the spy shots we spent months pouring over, trying to dissect what was under all the camouflage. For the most part, Ford did a good job of concealing the car from spy photographers, and it released a video showing how much work went into doing so.
As crude as the Mustang's camo looked, all of the hard plastic, foam, vinyl and ratchet straps were actually created and put in place by a specific design team. The whole idea was to hide the car's identity, but it certainly ended up acting as a magnet for attention, too. According to Ford's press release, it took less than an hour for spy shots to appear online after the car was taken on public roads for the very first time - this is likely in reference to our first official spy shots of the Mustang from June, shown in the gallery below.
Scroll down for a press release and video, which shows footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang testing with minimal camouflage. This is probably the same track session where we got our first look at the Mustang's face back in August.
Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines
Mon, 27 May 2013Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
