1968 Ford Mustang Gt 390 "s" Code '68 Coupe on 2040-cars
Louisville, Kentucky, United States
I am listing this car for a relative so please contact him at 502-409 -3479 with any questions. His name is Daniel. I personally do not know very much regarding this car. The following is the information he gave to me...... "This car needs a complete restoration. It hasn't run in years but is very solid, very complete and very restorable. I have started the motor with a gravity feed and let it run just long enough to know that it does run. The gas in the tank is old/bad and needs to be removed and the tank flushed. The car has very minimal rust. The battery tray is the worst......it needs to be replaced. The floors appear to be solid except for one spot about the size of a baseball in the passenger front. The frame rails and torque boxes seem to be solid. The trunk and rocker panels are very solid with no visible rust. This car is complete and has lots of options. I have received the Marti report for this car and it shows the options as: Black Vinyl Roof; GT Equipment Group; C-6 Select Shift Cruise-O-Matic; F70X14 White Sidewall Nylon Wide Oval Tires; Console; Power Disc Brakes; Power Steering; AM Radio; Tinted Glass; In-Dash Tachometer & Trip Odometer. The back seat and passenger front seat are very nice. The driver's seat has a rip in the back rest. Car originally came with a 4 barrel carburetor but now has a 2 barrel.The story is that a father bought this car (used) for his daughter and swapped the carb and manifold for her safety. I do not have the original 4 barrel carb & manifold. I was told by the previous owner that the motor is supposed to be the original but I can't guarantee this to be a fact........I could not find a serial number on the block. This car is very complete and solid and is an excellent candidate for restoration. If you live close by or can send a rep, I encourage you to inspect the car in person.......you will not be disappointed. Car is located in Taylorsville KY (30 miles east of Louisville). Again, my name is Daniel and I will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Cell number is 502-409-3479. Thanks for looking." |

Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."
Verizon buys Telogis in connected vehicle market push
Wed, Jun 22 2016(Note/disclaimer: We are owned by Verizon, by way of AOL. This gives us no inside track whatsoever when it comes to news.) With a lot of tech companies and automakers staking their claims in the connected car space, now there are signs that others are looking to move in, too. Today, telecoms giant Verizon announced that it is acquiring Telogis, a California-based company that develops cloud-based solutions for mobile workforces, and specifically telematics, compliance and navigation software used by Ford, Volvo, GM and other car companies, as well as Apple and AT&T. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, although we'll try to find out. Considering that Verizon in 2015 reported full-year revenues of $131.6 billion, the price would have to be very high to be considered "material" and may not be made public for some time, if ever. Telogis in its time as a startup raised a substantial amount of money, just over $126 million in all, including $93 million in 2013, supposedly ahead of an IPO, all from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Back in 2013 when KPCB made its investment (which was the first from a VC firm in the company), Telogis told TechCrunch it was profitable and forecasting revenues of $100 million annually for the year. It's not clear what size those revenues are now, but if it was on the same growth trajectory as before the funding, sales would be around $150 million annually, with profitability, at the moment. Other investors include some very notable strategics: the investment arm of General Motors, and Fontinalis Partners, which also invests in Lyft and was co-founded by Bill Ford, the executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company. Before the acquisition, Verizon actually had a business in fleet management and telematics; in fact, the two companies competed against each other for business from the trucking and other industries. Verizon Telematics, as the business is called, is active in 40 countries. But in a way, Verizon buying Telogis is a sign that the latter may have proved to be the more superior, and the one with the key customer deals.
