A nice 1967 Ford Fairlane 500 XL Ranchero, Red exterior with Black interior. Bucket seats with console and automatic shifter on the console. It has a 289 V8 2 barrell carb with dual exhaust. It comes with a trailer hitch, and rear air shocks. The vehicle needs some love and attention. The red paint is faded, and the chrome in need of some elbow grease. I have had the vehicle for 17 years and drove it as my daily driver for the first few years I owned it. For the most part the body is in great shape, all straight sheet metal, only one minor spot of rust (see pics) and the chrome bumpers are straight. The tailight rings on the rear have a few dimples in them (see pics) as does the front grille piece (see pics). The drivers seat has a tear on the top left corner of the seat back (see pics). The dash board has cracks in it from sitting out in the sun. This car has sat out in the open for many years as you can tell by the faded paint. I have tried to show pictures of all the areas of the car, especially with the defects listed above in them. The engine has not been started in 3 years and I think I might have dropped a push rod when I shut it off last time. I was trying to start the engine and it stopped and spun backwards. I have tried to free the stuck engine, but I am physically unable to do much physical work anymore, so I am going to let some lucky car person who is looking for a great car, take possession and reap the benefits. The transmission and brakes work great. This will make a great project car with the only major issue being the stuck engine. Once running you will love the car. Please ask questions as I want potential bidders to be satisfied with what they are bidding on. The car does have air conditioning but does not work.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made
Tue, 06 Aug 2013We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.
Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue
Tue, 28 May 2013According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
