Offered for sale is my 1969 ford mustang 428 cobra jet Mach 1. This Mach 1 is equipped with the r code 428 cobra jet engine backed by a close ratio toploader 4 speed transmission and a 3.50 traction lok 31 spline nodular rear end. This is a nicely equipped car and is optioned with power disc brakes and power steering, tinted glass, factory tach, fold down rear seat, visibility group and AM/FM cassette stereo radio. Additional owner added options include front and rear spoilers and window slats. The car rides on 15 inch Magnum 500 wheels with BF Goodrich P215/65R15 T/A radials. The odometer reads 05520 and assumed to be 105520 however that is not able to be verified.
The engine was represented by the previous owner to be the original factory installed unit. The block is not VIN stamped which is typical with Metuchen built cars. The date stamped on the block reads 8J27 which corresponds to the car's build date. Per previous owner statements the engine was rebuilt in the mid 1990's and retains its stock bore and factory pistons. The engine is outfitted with a Holley 4150 750 cfm carb with manual choke and is retains its original factory shaker assembly. The oil pump and fuel pump have been replaced as a preventive measure to ensure reliability for long drives. A factory windage tray was installed to decrease turbulence around the crankshaft and oil pan. The ignition has been upgraded to a MSD 6A electronic ignition with the module mounted out of sight under the fender well to maintain a factory appearance. Original cast iron exhaust manifolds connect to an original 2 1/4 inch H pipe which feeds into a 2 1/2 inch custom exhaust with correct rolled edge tips.
The transmission is the correct big spline close ratio toploader 4 speed. The transmission tag reads RUG AE2/011061 which is correct for the 1969 428 CJ. The trans is currently equipped with a Hurst Competition Plus shifter.
The rear end is the original 9 inch housing with the 31 spline nodular center section and staggered shocks. The rear was upgraded to a traction lok by the previous owner and still retains its 3.50 ratio.
The body appears to retain its original sheet metal and under body panels. There is no evidence of rust or body damage. All frame rails and aprons appear undisturbed, evidencing no buckled or straightened areas. Exterior stainless trim and chrome is in excellent condition. It is believed the car underwent a restoration in the 1990's and the paint is very presentable with a smooth finish and high gloss. There are a few stone chips present from normal use which have been touched up. The underside is painted body color and appears to have been done with a texture paint to resist stone chips.
The interior was restored at the time of the restoration. The carpet appears to be a Ford service replacement which was still available at the time as opposed to the cheap looking repro carpets currently offered. The seats have been recently re-upholstered with TMI seat covers. The woodgrain and bright work around the gauges is excellent and the dash pad is in excellent shape with no cracks. All equipment including horn, gauges, radio, tach and interior lights are in working order. The truck contains a high quality speckled mat with a spare tire, jack and proper hardware

Ford opens the doors on its Swedish rally skunkworks

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

It's always amazing to see how different kinds of racecars are made. Formula One racers are often constructed in modern architectural marvels that hint at some of the cutting-edge technology going into the racing. Conversely, rallying is all about sliding around on a varied course as fast as possible, but it often leaves a vehicle caked in mud. So it makes some sense Olsbergs MSE, or simply (OMSE) rally car shop in Nynashamn, Sweden, shows technological sophistication in a more down-to-earth setting. It builds Ford Fiesta ST racers for Global Rallycross there, and this new video gives viewers a tour through the work.
Former rally driver Andreas Eriksson runs OMSE. These days instead of racing, he and the company's 46 employees are building Ford racers from scratch. A ton of work goes into constructing each one, and according to Eriksson, it takes 400 hours to complete each body. At times, things are so busy that some of the technicians live in the shop in apartments that are on premises. There's even a restaurant to keep them fed. Sadly the dyno room is empty during this visit, though.
By the time OMSE is done, a rallycross car might resemble a Fiesta ST on the outside, but as you see in the video, it's a completely different beast underneath. Check out the work it takes to build one of them, and scroll down to read more about it in the official release.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
