1969 FORD MUSTANG MACH 1 S-CODE BB 390 4V

88422 MILES. I’M THE SECOND OWNER OF THE CAR. ORIGINAL MOTOR SEIZED IN 1978 WHERE IT SAT COVERED IN SANTA
BARBARA, CA UNTIL I ACQUIRED IT IN 2000. THIS CLASSIC CAR BEGAN A MULTI YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER RESTORATION KEEPING
EVERY POSSIBLE ORIGINAL COMPONENT INCLUDING MOST ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN COMPONENTS, DASHBOARD, DASH PAD, CENTER
CONSOLE AND RIM BLOW STEERING WHEEL, AS WELL AS ALL EXTERIOR TRIM EXCEPT BUMPERS. NEARLY ALL SHEET METAL IS
ORIGINAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT REAR OF THE CAR WHICH HAS BEEN PROPERLY RESTORED. THE BODY WAS
TAKEN DOWN TO BARE METAL BEFORE PAINT.

THE NUMBERS MATCHING BLOCK DID NOT LAST THROUGH ITS OVERHAUL SO THE RESTORATION WAS COMPLETED IN 2008 WITH AN
EXPERTLY-BUILT YEAR-APPROPRIATE 390 4V BIG BLOCK AND OVERHAULED C6 AUTO TRANS WITH SHIFT KIT. ENGINE AND
TRANSMISSION LESS THAN 1000 MILES. ALTHOUGH NOW A 10 YEAR RESTORATION, IT HOLDS UP BEAUTIFULLY INSIDE AND OUT. I
JUST HAD A $3000 PAINT TOUCH UP SERVICING TO ADDRESS A FEW HAIR LINE BLEMISHES THAT HAVE OCCURRED HERE IN THE AUTIN
HEAT OVER THE YEARS. YOU CAN SEE MINOR FADING IN A FEW SPOTS BUT IS STILL ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED AND IS VERY MUCH A PRIZED POSSESSION. NO CORNERS CUT. ALWAYS ABOVE AND BEYOND. I HAVE
SPARED NO EXPENSE. MY ONLY REGRET IS NOT DRIVING IT MORE BUT I DIDN’T WANT TO PILE ON THE MILES. IT MOSTLY WENT
ON SUNDAY DRIVES.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.

2014 Ford Mustang GT

Fri, 17 May 2013

I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.
