I am selling this car for my father.  He is 89 years young and has dementia.  He built this car about 7 years ago to drive and enjoy.  I helped with a lot of the work so I know the car well and I will be totally honest.  

The good :  this was originally a 6 cylinder car and he put everthing from a 65 comet in it to convert it to a V8 car.  It even has the Comet steering column and steering wheel in it.  It has a 289 with a c4.  The   motr runs pretty good but it is a little cold blooded.  once it warms up for a few minutes it does better.  The car has only been driven about 30 miles over the last three years.  The car gets a lot of looks and has overall good appeal.  The interior has JC Whittney seat covers and door panels.  There is a new black dearborn dash pad that was put on right before he stoped driving. The quarter panels were repaired welding in new patch panels.  The windshield wipers and the am radio do work in this car.  As does the dome light.  The four tires on the ground were replasced about 2 years ago and still have the stubbys sticking out the top. 

 

The bad :  When the car was done, there floor pans were rusty and the rust was cut out.  Instead of welding in new floor pans, he opted to screw down patch panels.  He tared it in so it don't leak and the floors are solid.  The drivers side rear frame rail had some rust and he cut it out and installed a new piece.  He could afford to have the bumpers chrome plated so he opted to paint the existing ones.  The bolts were welded to the bumper and shaved off for a cleaner look.  The bumpers will unbolt so chrome ones can be put back on at a later date.  The glass is all good but there is overspray residue on the front windshield.  Not real bad but on a summer morning or evening it may come into play.  The power styeering pump leaks.  A new one can be bought for about $250.  The rear end did come from another falcon that had a automatic transmission.  It works fine.  The front fenders do have some bondo in them on the leading edge from rust above the headlights but it is not easy to see.  Again, i am trying to be totally honest here.  The engine compartment is not detailed out but is presentable.  The driver side valve cover started leaking resently and i haven't tried to tighten it down yet.  It will need a new gasket I'm sure.  The brake pads are good, but I noticed the master cylinder and wheel cylinders were rebuilt, not replaced.  I would recommend whoever buys this car to upgrade to a dual master cylinder in place of the single.

How and why Ford is rolling out Vignale in Europe

Wed, 09 Oct 2013


We know that Ford is positioning the new, upscale Vignale brand in Europe to fill a niche market of customers who want a bit more luxury, a lot more service and the same reliability and dependability that a non-Vignale Ford offers. But so far, we've been in the dark regarding how the Blue Oval will sell Vignale vehicles, how many of them will be created, and what the new sub-brand has in store for the future.
Gaetano Thorel, Ford's European marketing head, recently was interviewed by Automotive News and shared details about Ford Vignale. Thorel says, "The Vignale trim line will be priced like an ST model but attract a completely different type of customer." Specifically, he says it will attract customers in the upper 15 percent of the price band who don't want a performance-oriented ST model. He adds that Vignale cars will be about 10 percent more expensive than Titanium-trim cars. About 500 of Ford's European dealers will sell Vignale Fords, Thorel says, "in areas that make sense." The automaker expects 10 percent of its European sales to be Vignale cars, which equates to about 5 percent of its global sales. When asked if there are any other Vignale models planned beyond the Mondeo, Thorel said, "There is nothing written in stone yet."

Obama to herald auto industry turnaround from idled Ford plant

Tue, Jan 6 2015

President Barack Obama will tout the recent successes of the American auto industry in a speech on Wednesday. This would be a fine and dandy plan aside from two small hitches. First, the president is visiting Ford's Wayne, MI factory, which is rather strange considering the government bailed out the company's local rivals, Chrysler and General Motors. Even more worrying, considering the topic of the speech, is that the Wayne facility has been idled due to a lack of demand. According to The Detroit News, the White House said the speech will focus on "the workers in the resurgent American automotive and manufacturing sector now that the auto rescue has been completed and the decision to save the auto industry and the over one million jobs that went with it." Wayne Assembly employs some 5,100 Michiganders when its lines are up and running, but as gas prices have plunged below $2 per gallon in some areas over the past month, its fuel-efficient products – the Focus and C-Max – have seen their sales plummet, as well. In December, the Focus' year-over-year sales were down 4.4 percent, while the C-Max dipped 3.3 percent, Ford told The News. Lagging sales for the two compacts aren't a new thing, though. Focus sales in all of 2014 were down 6.4 percent, while the C-Max struggled with a 21.6-percent drop last year. According to The News, Ford made the decision to idle the factory before being approached by the White House. Considering that, we wonder what the team at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was thinking when it selected the Ford facility, and what impact the location will have on the president's message.

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
