-NEW Interior, from carpet to headliner
-NEW Electronic Ignition conversion (no points)
-NEWLY rebuilt rear end (third member) by Dan's Driveline

-Lots of new and old parts available, especially mechanical.
-Haggerty puts the value at like $12K
-Title in my name, Nevada
-Cheap to license and insure

The Bad
-Cheap tint job that needs to be removed
-Little hard to start after sits, may just be the check valve in the fuel line???
-Front end could use new bushings, tends to wander a bit on the road, maybe just a characteristic of the car??
-Paint is rough. I didnt want to paint it and put off buyers who care about the color.
-Cracking windshield
-Someone did a half ass job putting front and back glass in, there is black gooey stuff all around the edges...
-Driver window regulator may need replacing, or possibly could be adjusted out, leaves a small gap when rolled up, sometimes.

The Meh..
-Edelbrock 1405 Carb
-American racing wheels
-Tires are OK. Look good, but a bad alignment has worn them unevenly. Should be rotated, or fronts replaced...?? Rears are good.
-No speakers or modern stereo. I built a new rear deck, would be easy to install system, door panels are new, could be cut for speakers.
-Grant steering wheel kit on it, I have the original wheel but i think the horn ring wont go on due to broken center bit.
-"Galaxie 500" badge is in two or three pieces, I have it. I think they look terrible anyway, placement is on the front fender traditionally
-Brake pedal is a bit high, only takes a minute to get used to, could be adjusted by putting spacer between vacuum booster and fire wall or a shorter eye bolt to the pedal.
-Odometer says 13,xxx is it 213,xxx? 113,xxx? who knows
-Cruise-o-Matic trans (has two Drive positions, one starts in 1st gear, the other starts it off in 2nd)
-Had factory air, someone ripped it out, still has plumbing.

Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.
