This car is not in its original configuration. It has a 289 C.I.D, single 2 bbl engine and a C6 transmission from a 1966 Ford Ranchero. The original owner, who passed away, did this several years ago. He also replaced the seats with leather, power seats from a 1967 Lincoln Continental and a custom made dash pad of black vinyl and red carpet. The seats actually look better than the factory seats, and fit well, but the dash pad has to go. He put in inexpensive carpet that should be replaced with something of better quality with a sound deadener. The wheels he put on it are from a 1972 Lincoln Mark IV. They also look very good on the car. I am guessing he did all of this some time in the 1980's.

The seats will need to be hooked up to power. The windshield wiper motor is either not connected, or bad. The original radio is in the dash, and does power up, but the speakers are unhooked. The dash lights do not work, and I don't know if it's just bulbs or wiring. The interior lights are in the car, but not hooked up. The headlights and running lights all work, except the high beams. It needs a new floor switch. The turn signals, brake lights, and reverse lights all work. The horn works, too. The windows all roll up and down. The driver door operates fine, but something is loose in the passenger door and it will only open from the inside currently.

Mechanically the car is in good shape. It has new plugs, wires, rotor button, distributor cap, battery, radiator, upper and lower radiator hoses, front brake shoes, inner and outer wheel bearings and seals on the front, and a new drum and wheel cylinder on the front left. The front left rubber brake line broke when I put the cylinder in, but I have a new hose for each side ready to be installed. I rebuilt the Motorcraft 2150 2 bbl carb and installed a manual choke, but it could stand a good tuning. I also drained, flushed, and replaced the transmission filter. Currently the gas tank is unhooked. It is in good shape, but needs to be dropped, cleaned and hooked back up. Right now the car runs off a one gallon can under the hood.

Body wise, the car is straight. The floor pans are solid. The trunk has some surface rust and pitting. There is one hole in it that is about the size of a fist in it. The worst part of the exterior is the roof. The vinyl top was removed and it has glue remnants, surface rust and some pitting. If you go back to a vinyl top it will just need some sanding. If you want to paint it you will need to do a lot of sanding and filling. The fenders are good. The hood has some rust behind the trim on the front drip edge, which is hard to see. The doors have some rust on the bottoms. The quarter panels have some hasty, small bondo patches behind the tires. All the glass is good, but the windshield was taken off to remove the vinyl top, and the silicone sealer used to reinstall is breaking down. It will need to be replaced. I have some small trim pieces, but it's mostly what you see is what you get.

That's everything I can think of. This car is about a 6 on a scale of 1-10. If you want a old car to completely restore to showroom condition, you may want to keep looking. You would have more in this one than you could ever get back out of it. If you want a car that you can spend a few thousand and a few weekends on, and then take it to the cruise in on Friday nights, then this one is what you want. Either way, thanks for looking, and ask questions if you have them.

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.

Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.

Ford CEO Mark Fields takes home $18.6 million

Fri, Mar 27 2015

Sitting atop the throne at Ford Motor Company is, as it turns out, a fairly lucrative gig. We make that statement after learning, through SEC filings, that FoMoCo's Mark Fields raked in $18.6 million in compensation during his first year as CEO. Now, as is so often the case, Fields' earnings weren't just straight salary. Only $1.7 million of that sum was from his salary, while another $3.2 million came from cash bonuses. The remaining $13.7 million, though, came from what The Detroit Free Press called "long-term stock options, performance equity awards and compensation for items such as security and travel," according to the SEC filing. That makes for a significant raise for Fields, who made $10.1 million in 2013, but it still doesn't match his predecessor, former CEO Alan Mulally. The 69-year-old Mulally earned $23.2 million in his final year as CEO, while bringing in $1 million last year as part of a $22 million compensation package. Fields' earnings may ruffle some features for a few reasons. First, while the Freep reports that Ford hit 91 percent of its performance goals, 2014's earnings were down $4 billion, to $3.2 billion, compared to the $7.2 billion the company made in 2013. On top of that, the CEO's take-home might be sour grapes for hourly employees, who were only treated to checks worth $6,900, as part of a profit-sharing plan. To that, Ford said in a statement that, "We remain absolutely committed to aligning executive compensation with the company's business performance and to tying a significant portion of executive compensation to long-term shareholder value."
