1967 Ford Ltd Hardtop on 2040-cars
Glenwood, Iowa, United States
This is a true survivor car with only 57,745 miles believed to be actual. The car runs and drives fantastic and the ride is incredible.
Body: This is a 4-door Hardtop (see pics). The body is in excellent condition with no signs of rust in any areas including the floor. There are no signs of any previous rust repair but the front fenders and hood appear to have been repainted some time ago. There are minor dings and chips consistent with the age but by no means major. There is one area of the roof that the original paint has been partially rubbed through (see pics) Interior: The interior is extremely nice with no tears in the seats or headliner. The door panels are in excellent condition as is the carpet. The front seat is 6-way power and the padding is firm. All interior lights work including the door panel lighting. The dash pad has one crack in the center and an area in the speaker grill that is cracked. These cracks are repairable. The rest of the dash is in excellent condition. The steering wheel is clear and has minor separation in a couple of areas. The trunk carpet is in place and is in good condition. Drivetrain: The 390 cubic inch engine runs excellent and achieves nearly 19 mpg based mileage taken on two trips this summer. The automatic transmission has been rebuilt and it shifts smoothly through the gears. The exhaust system is in good condition and there are no major leaks from the engine or transmission. The car goes down the road straight and the brakes are excellent. The car rides on (4) new radials and the shocks have recently been replaced with new. This car was driven to a show in Springfield MO this last spring as well as to Sioux Falls South Dakota in the heat of the summer. It performed flawlessly on both trips and it is truly a pleasure to drive. I am selling to make room for more toys. Just as I was when I was young, I play with toys for awhile then move on to a new ones. It would be shame not to have someone driving and enjoying this vehicle. |

Ford, Volvo join Redwood in EV battery recycling push in California
Mon, Feb 21 2022Ford and Volvo will join battery recycling startup Redwood Materials in developing processes, starting in California, to collect end-of-life batteries from electric and hybrid vehicles and recover the materials for use in new batteries, the companies said Thursday. Redwood Materials, co-founded by former Tesla executive JB Straubel, formed an earlier partnership last fall with Ford to develop a “closed loop” or circular supply chain for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, from raw materials to recycling. On Thursday, Redwood Materials said it would work directly with dealers and dismantlers in California to identify and recover end-of-life battery packs. The materials in those packs will be recovered and recycled at Redwood Materials facilities in northern Nevada. U.S. automakers Ford and General Motors Co (GM) have said the battery recycling effort is crucial in efforts to develop a domestic supply chain to meet increasing EV demand. GM and battery partner LG Energy Solution last year announced a partnership with startup Li-Cycle to recycle battery scrap material from Ultium Cells, the GM-LG joint venture that is building battery plants in Ohio, Tennessee and Michigan. Redwood Materials has similar partnerships with battery makers Panasonic in Nevada and Envision AESC in Tennessee, as well as with Amazon. Ford and Amazon are among the investors in Redwood Materials. Reporting by Paul Lienert in Detroit; Editing by Mark Potter Green Ford Volvo Green Automakers Electric
Ford to revisit CVTs?
Thu, Dec 11 2014Today, Ford wishes its first experience with non-hybrid continuously variable transmissions was far behind it. The Blue Oval was awash in complaints and a couple of class-action lawsuits over the CVTs used in its 2005-2007 Ford Freestyle, Five Hundred and Mercury Montego models, which were a manufactured in Batavia, Ohio as part of a joint venture with ZF. The company gave up on the CVT after just two years, but with fuel economy standards pressing automakers to conjure new tricks, Ford's global product development head, Raj Nair, is now saying the transmissions might make a return, "particularly in the low torque applications," says Automotive News. An obvious candidate for CVT consideration is the 1.0-liter Fiesta that can presently only be had with a five-speed manual. Beyond that, the company's 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines might fit the bill. Ford hasn't given any indication as to what vehicles it might use to reintroduce the CVT to the US market, or hints about timeline or who would develop it, however. Some CVT trivia: The 1990 Subaru Justy II was the first US passenger car offered with a continuously variable transmission - Subaru called it the ECVT. It handled gearing duties for a 1.2-liter, inline three-cylinder engine that got all of 70 horsepower. A contemporary blurb about the car begins with "Goodness, gracious, great gobs of gimmickry," and goes on to say that "We can't imagine where you would take this car for repairs, but we are certain that the one mechanic in the world who can fix it lives in a very expensive house." The transmission didn't win any fans, but the ECVT and the car have been largely forgotten, while Subaru played the long game and now you'll find its vastly improved Lineartronic CVT on six of the eight models it sells.
Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.
