I have had the car about 15 years and am second owner after first owners family (first titled in Arkansas).  Always garaged during my time, selling to start another project.  Car has been in Oklahoma, Arkansas or Texas since built (little rust).  Two V-8 donor cars (1963 falcon and 1964 Mercury Comet) were used to replace most components to V-8 standards:  wheels are 14 inch, front and rear suspension, rear axle, steering box and column are from V-8 cars as well as engine and 3 speed C-4 automatic transmission.  Aluminum radiator.  Engine was rebuilt several years ago with about 2,000 miles on it.  Runs great.  Edelbrock 4 bbl carb and intake manifold.  Exhaust headers with professionally installed flowmaster dual exhaust chrome tip.  Transmission is C-4; I took this to my transmission guy for check out-he said it is in good shape, resealed and changed oil, shifts a little slowly when cold.  If I was going to keep the car I would have transmission gone thru.  I found no rust in body panels but floor pans had pinhole rust thru-fixed unprofessionally.  Paint was professional but after 7 years has some bubbles.  Top is good with clear rear window.  Complete air conditioning system is included but not installed-never got around to it.  Inside unit is from 1964 comet, I had it checked out, sealed up-works perfectly.  Balance of system includes mounting brackets, hoses (use for size-you will need new hoses), transition thru firewall is new, dryer and condenser is there (but you will need these new), also two compressors (sold to me as rebuilt units).  Windshield has wiper scratch, all other glass is great.  Car could use a new front seat cover back on drivers side, rest of interior is great.  $500 deposit thru paypal immediatly after auction ends-non refundable, final payment within 7 days by money wire or cash all funds to be clear before car leaves.  Mileage is unknown.

How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be

Fri, 20 Sep 2013

Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.

2016 Ford Explorer embarks at the LA Auto Show

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

Twenty-five years since its debut in 1990, Ford will celebrate a quarter century of Explorer models next year with the debut of a refreshed 2016 model at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. The Blue Oval is keeping mum on hard details about the updated SUV for now, but the brand promises, "a new look, added capability and additional driver-assist technology," in its announcement.
Company marketing boss Jim Farley elaborated a little more on what to expect. "The new Explorer is still the SUV America fell in love with - a vehicle built for the perfect family adventure," he said in the release that you're welcome to read down below.
An updated Explorer is a pretty big deal for Ford's bottom line. Worldwide, SUVs and crossovers account for about 23 percent of Ford's sales, and the segment is projected to grow to around 29 percent by 2020. Ford further says that SUVs and CUVs are the world's quickest growing segment with demand up 88 percent since 2008.

Ford celebrating 80 years of Aussie utes as it prepares to shutter Oz manufacturing

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Ford is ending Australian production after 90 years in 2016, and with it may go perhaps the most iconic vehicles in its auto market - the ute. Car-based pickup trucks like the Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet El Camino were always more of a curiosity than a true market force here, but in Australia, they have long proven hugely popular.
As the legend goes, Ford invented the niche after a farmer's wife had asked Ford Australia's managing director for a more utilitarian car. Her request was simple: "My husband and I can't afford a car and a truck but we need a car to go to church on Sunday and a truck to take the pigs to market on Monday. Can you help?"
Ford's design team came up with a two-passenger, enclosed, steel coupe body with glass windows and a steel-paneled, wooden-frame load area in the rear. The sides of the bed were blended into the body to make it look more unified, and to keep costs down, the front end and interior were based on the Ford Model 40 five-window coupe. Power came from a V8 with shifting chores handled by a three-speed manual. Within a year, the new vehicle was ready, and production began in 1934. Lead designer Lewis Bandt christened it the coupe-utility.
