This is a very nice one of a kind car....if you are tired of Camaros and Mustangs at car shows then dare to be different ! This car has been restored cosmetically correct but has later model running gear and suspension to be safer. It has a built 460 Ford with a loppy cam and high rise and a brand new Holley double pumper carb. New Griffin radiator with dual electic fans. High volume water pump,external fuel filter and oil filter coolers. Has a beefed up auto C6 trans with stall converter and a full spool poi trac rear end with 4.11 gears. ( Runs good down highway due to tall tires....65 mph all day long) Has full dual 3" exhaust with stock mufflers and manifolds ....its quiet going down the road. If you want it loud it has electric cut outs...flip a switch and you have the drag strip !! Also rebuilt the frontend and installed disc brakes and all new bearings and axles and converted to dual master cylinder for safety. Car was stripped inside and painted,undercoated the floorboard and then layed insulation all through out. All new CORRECT interior,trim and chrome. Radio works but no antennae installed on car. New heater core and rebuilt box. Car was painted Springtime Yellow and new door and trunk rubbers installed. New felts and roof rail rubbers and verticals. Channel rubber we got was wrong and never got around to it but everything else is new !! Fiberglass 406/427 style hood. Dash pieces and both bumpers were rechromed and are like new. All lights work as should...has aftermarket gauges,tach,and shifter. I have nearly all the pics from the build. Has new gas tank too this year. Clear Texas title and tagged and driven weekly. I built this car 3 years ago. It has been driven by a 70 year old man this 3 years.....not poked along but DRIVEN...sometimes WIDE open !!!lol. Car has been fun but bought a 64 Thunderbolt and dont need two. Car still looks good,drives even better (floats down the road at 100mph if want) Would need little to be a show car and does good at local shows. Paint is really nice..interior like new. The only bad would be the following....at the bottom edge of door and a small place by rear wheel well there are small rust bubbles starting ( a dime probely cover either one.) Trunk above gas tank has rust but cant really see it so didnt mess with it. Motor has some blowby when driven down highway but still runs good so never worried about it.Rear main seal leaks and need to keep cardboard or drip pan under car( kinda like a Model A) Car has been driven....not a garage queen so has small chips and pecks but believe me....its still very nice. I spent about $20,000 buying and building this car. I have had fun but time to pass it on. If someone makes a reasonable offer I will let it go . Car is "AS IS"....I bought on here that way and selling the same. Buyers with "0" buys or feed back will be cancelled. $500 deposit due when sale ends. Cash or wire transfer due within 3 days....you can pick up the car whenever after paid for and after payment is made it can stay as long as you need here. I can deliver in Texas or close by if paid for first. I also have shippers (if available). Call if any questions BEFORE you buy !!!! Thanks and good luck !!! 682-459-3078....car is 30 mile south of Fort Worth ,Texas off I-35W...

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
3dCarbon now offering body kit for Ford Fusion
Tue, 01 Oct 2013A factory-backed body kit by 3dCarbon is now available to Ford Fusion owners who want their car to stand out from the crowd while not being too flashy. The body kit adds a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear body trim and spoiler that are, in fact, integrated quite nicely into the Fusion's already-comely styling, just as 3dCarbon claims. All Fusions with the kit also receive dual exhaust ports with the stainless-steel exhaust surrounds usually reserved for the Titanium package Fusion EcoBoost models.
A nice detail of 3dCarbon's injection-molded urethane body kit is that it has undergone crash testing to certify that it can withstand crashes up to five miles per hour. Because of this, the kit is warrantied by 3dCarbon for five years or 50,000 miles, much like Ford's warranty on its own parts. In fact, the kit is available through participating Ford dealers and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit. Buyers can purchase the kit - pre-painted or unpainted - and install it themselves, or it can be purchased with a new Ford Fusion and installed at the dealer, pre-painted to factory specifications. Of course, it can also be ordered directly from the source. Take a look at the press release below for more detailed information on the body kit, and let us know what you think of it in Comments.
Ford EcoBoost smashes records at Daytona
Thu, 10 Oct 2013Some mighty machines have lapped the banks of the Daytona International Speedway over the years: thunderous V8-powered stock cars, Le Mans-conquering Group C prototypes, open-wheel Champ Cars, knee-dragging superbikes... heck, the infield lake has even hosted powerboat racing. But this - this is the fastest car ever to lap the legendary raceway.
What you're looking at is the new Daytona Prototype being prepared by Riley Technologies for the new United SportsCar Championship. The car, released just last week, is powered by a new 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 from Ford's EcoBoost family, and just obliterated the top speed at the track with a blistering 222.971 miles per hour through the traps.
That's enough to annihilate the previous record that was set, also under Ford power, by Bill Elliott while placing his Thunderbird on pole for the 1987 Daytona 500 that he would go on to win. His 210.364 mph record had stood for 26 years until now.
