If you are reading this, you must have some appreciation for older Fords. With that being said, you will really like this car. I was told about the car through some race car buddys, the car belonged to a gentleman that had owned the car for 30 years, he purchased the car from a guy out of the Carolina's, it had been a race car through out its lifetime. That's why it's so well preserved, I am getting off track, sorry.
The previous owner had raced the car for about twenty years or so, it use to have a 427 in it, the car went high 10's according to his son's. He had parked the car to take a break, and that turned into about 8 years, well, unfortunately the gentleman passed away. So the car just sat in the barn, the story I got was his race buddy pulled the 427 out, their dad had some sort of arrangement with the guy, so he took it. The two sons had enough parts laying around they started to get a motor ready, they had it machined, freshened up the block and stalled out. The car sat for a couple of years, they decide they didnt have time for the car so that's when I bought it. I got most of the parts , I just had to put it together, plus a few odds and ends. the motor is a standard bore early 390, new rings, bearings, oil pump, ect. The heads are 62 408 heads that have been decked, all new valves and springs, to accommodate the 500 plus solid roller cam. It also has the original cast iron long headers , they run about a grand by them selves. The transmission is a C6 wich I had completely rebuilt, along with a new 2500 stall. mechanically everything is new or has been rebuilt. I put the engine in the car and got it to fire, sound really good, the car basically need someone to adjust the lifters and set the points, also the brakes look great but need to be adjusted, i'm not too good with drum stuff. It has new tires up front. It also needs the a headlight switch, I think its bad, I couldn't move it. The body is very impressive for a 50 year old car, it has never been restored, they painted the roof and tops of the rear quarters about 20 years ago. doors, fenders, quarters, and trunk are original to the car, other than a little surface oxidation from sitting the car is really solid. The previous owner put a fuel cell in the trunk, in the process of doing that he had the floor modified, but it looks good. The interior is 100% original, the carpet is faded and the das pad has a few cracks, but all the seats look amazing, as well as the headliner. If you are wanting a unique car that you wont see at the cruise in or drag strip, this is it please call me with any questions, I am available most of the time, if you get my voice mail please leave a message and I will call you back asap. thanks 352 494 6913 |

Weekly Recap: Matthew McConaughey's star shines brightly for Lincoln
Sat, Jan 3 2015The commercials were a little strange at first, but the ensuing spoofs were hilarious. And all jokes aside, Matthew McConaughey has made a difference for Lincoln. Advertisements starring the Oscar winner launched in September, and the results have been impressive. The number of customers clicking on Lincoln.com to check out the MKC – the crossover McConaughey pitched – has tripled since the ads began airing, a spokesman told Autoblog. They also generated 4.4 million views on YouTube and spawned parodies by Ellen DeGeneres, Conan O'Brien, South Park and Jim Carrey on Saturday Night Live, which racked up another 15 million views. Most importantly, Lincoln's sales have increased 15 percent through November, helped significantly by the strong launch of the MKC. Without the addition of the MKC, Lincoln's sales would have been essentially flat last year. The MKC has received solid reviews from consumers and the press, though it has had several recalls. "The overwhelming response to the MKC campaign sparked truly great awareness for Lincoln," Andrew Frick, Lincoln group marketing manager, said in a statement. Now Lincoln has launched another round of spots, which kicked off New Year's Day during college football bowl games. This time, McConaughey is hawking the MKZ sedan and its hybrid sibling. The spots, called Diner and Balance, use the same artistic formula as the earlier ads, with McConaughey intoning seriously about the cars in dramatic settings. They were shot over two days in Los Angeles and were directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, a Danish filmmaker who directed the 2011 move, Drive. The ads continue Lincoln's multiyear deal with McConaughey, who has said he's been long been interested in the brand. He starred in the 2011 thriller, The Lincoln Lawyer, as a defense attorney who worked out of a Town Car, though that was before his deal with Lincoln. In one of the earlier ads, McConaughey claims: "I've been driving a Lincoln since long before anybody paid me to drive one. I didn't do it to be cool. I didn't to it to make a statement. I just liked it." That sentiment appears to have worked for the MKC's launch, and with this new advertising blitz, Lincoln hopes it carries over to the MKZ.

NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
