This is a 1968 Falcon Sport Coupe.  The cars original suspension has been removed and replaced by a mustang II font end with coil over shocks and sway bar with rack and pinion steering.  The rear leaf springs have been removed and replaced by a pro ladder bar suspension with coil over shocks and adjustable ride height as well as a track bar.  The fuel tank has been removed and a 12 gallon fuel cell installed in the trunk.  The battery has also been relocated to the trunk.  The wiring harness has been replaced by a kwik harness.  The original motor and trans were replaced by a 429 built motor and a C6 built trans with a 2500 stall converter.  This motor puts out right at 590hp to the flywheel.  It has a comp cam and valve train, electric water pump, Weiand intake, demon 850 carb, HEI distributor with Taylor wires, and Sanderson headers.  The fuel system is 6AN stainless  line from the holley electric pump to the carburetor.  The exhaust is flowmaster.  The drive shaft is custom built as well and hooks to a 9" rear with a nascar 410 diff.  The brakes are aluminum 4 wheel disc SSBC calipers and slotted rotors with power brakes.  The emergency brake (Lokar) has been relocated to the center hump between the seats.  The shifter has been relocated to the floor and is a B&M slap shifter.  The dash has been fiberglassed and  3 gauges added to the  center of it.  All gauges are autometer.  The interior is all new reupholstered seats and side panels.  There is a new headliner too.  The carpet and kick panels are new. That is the good.  Now the not so good.  The brake lines will need to be replaced due to contamination.  I do have all new stainless lines that go with it.  The emergency brake works but needs adjustment.  There is some rust under the front cowl where the air ducts were.  The wiper components have been removed.  The body is in descent shape for its age with a little rust.  Most of the rust is around the trunk where the seal goes.  The back roll pan also has some rust where the rear bumper goes.  The hood is fiberglass and needs hinges or hood locks to mount it.  The dash will need a little more fiberglass work to the finish to complete it.  The engine runs great, but the carb needs to be rebuilt.  The trans shifts great.  The rear axle splines and bearings are all new.  The floor pans have been replaced and painted with POR15.  There is a set of front 5 point DOT seat belts that will need to be installed.  I love this car, but my financial state is forcing me to sale it.  I have over 15k invested in this car.  These vehicles are very hard to find.  The only part missing is the rear bumper.  I have more pictures if needed.

Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Aside 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.

This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.
