1965 - Ford Mustang on 2040-cars
Kissimmee, Florida, United States
Up for sale is a beautiful 1965 Mustang with removable fastback roof. You will be the talk of the town and the center of attention at car shows. The body is very solid with no signs of any accidents over the years. The front aprons are original and also have never been damaged. Every single item in the front suspension is new, it has new shocks, springs(two sets) , upper and lower control arms, pitman arm, idler arm and center drag link. I had the spindles, strut arms and cross member professionally sand blasted and powder coated. I upgraded the sway bar from the original 11/16" to a 1-1/8" powder coated bar. T he floors were replaced in the past as well. The paint is fresh base coat Classic White/Sonic Blue stripes, the clear coat has been cut and buffed to a beautiful shine. The interior carpet, seats, seatbelts, B&M Shifter, dash pad, door panels, gauge bezels and steering wheel are all new. The engine is a super strong 289 CID V-8 with many upgrades including a 4 Barrel Holley Carburetor and throaty sounding dual exhaust. This car starts with the flick of a key and really moves! Most of the chrome and stainless is new or in very good shape. 17" Riddler wheels with new Sumitomo low profile tires, (front - 215/45 R17 & rear - 225/45 R17). a Custom Autosound USA-66 deck was also installed. It looks very close to the original but has more current circuitry with CD changer capabilities, AUX input and station pre-sets. I installed a pair of Infinity Kappa 6x9s in the rear and a Retrosound R410N 4x10 in the dash. I mounted a 4 channel amplifier in the trunk to power the higher quality speakers. Invested around $700 total in the stereo. Feel free to come and visit and take it for a spin, it won't disappoint. Here are some common questions I get about the removable top:ยท How is the roof attached? Is the roof water-tight? The roof weighs approx. 75 pounds and can be removed in less than 2 minutes. The top is secured by two bolts in the front and two wing nuts in the rear. There is a metal header attached to the roof. On this metal header, there are two tinnerman nuts (mustang fender nut clips) - the two bolts go thru the mustang convertible sun visor bracket dowel pin guide hole and thread into the tinnerman nuts, The fiberglass roof (up front) has a gasket that sits on the windshield stainless steel trim.

Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
Ford will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon
Fri, 27 Dec 2013What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
