up for auction is a real 1970 ford mustang mach1 and not a clone.first off let me say that the entire car will need gone over and restored because it has been sitting in a garage since about the early 1980's.the car was a texas car that moved to kentucky at some time in its life and thats where i got it, and had it shipped here from. i will try to describe the car as accurately as i can.first off the major parts of any mustang that are usually rusted and rotted out are not rotted on this car as i will list.all the frame rails both front and back and both sides are not rotted and need nothing done to them.one torque box needs a patch put on it but the rest are very nice.the quarter panels are also very nice originals that need very little done to them.the inside of the trunk is also very nice with no patches or rot showing.the passenger door needs little work.the drivers door has a rust hole in the bottom rear corner and a dent in it so i would just put on a new skin.the door frame is in good shape so it can be used over.the trunk lid has rust and a hole in the corner so it will also need replaced.the floor pans have some rust and holes and also a piece cut out where i think someone wanted to put a 4 speed in but never did,i would replace the floor with a one piece complete floor just to make it look perfect and a one piece is much easier to do than putting in sections.all the front framework and rad support is in great shape there is no rot where the front bumper bolts on as most have, there is not even a rot hole under the battery tray where they all rot.the nuts pulled through the rear aprons for the hood hinges so they will need changed the old ones were correctly removed by taking out the spot welds and temporary ones were put in just so the car doesnt shift when transporting it.the drivers side shock tower had a hole cut in it to get to the grease fittings and the wrap around part was welded solid on both sides for extra support.you can change these if you want when changing the rear aprons.fenders are not all rotted out but do have dings and dents so i would just replace them anyway. other rust that i can find that needs repaired is some around the windshield lip,roof and cowl panel.the hood had a hole cut in it for air and a aftermarket scoop put on it as so many cars did in that era.the wheels and tires were also changed and now has huge 50 series in the rear and 60 series in the front.the engine transmission and rear end are as far as i can tell the original ones from the car.i cant find any serial numbers stamped in anything but all the driveline parts are dated less than 90 days before the car was finished.as a matter of fact all the major engine parts were made in a week.engine block 9h13 intake 9h14 heads 9h9 and 9h11 definitely all original to this engine.the engine is a 351 cleveland factory 4 barrel with 4 barrel heads.i removed the engine and transmission and removed the intake and heads to check the condition of the engine.it seems to be all original and i dont think it was ever taken apart before me.the speedometer reads 85,069 miles and the title says 85,000 miles on it and i truly believe these are original miles.engine needs rebuilt from sitting just like the rest of the car.i cant possibly describe every single part of this car as this description is already getting pretty long so if you have any questions about anything just e-mail me.i am including a copy of the marti report in the listing so you can check out all the info on the car.i have to sell it.just e-mail me with any questions at all that you might have.i encourage anyone who lives close to come and check out the car in person,or have someone come check it out for you.

2015 Ford Edge holds line on pricing, starts at $28,100*
Tue, 04 Nov 2014The Ford Edge gets an updated platform, bolder styling and a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine pumping out 245 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque for the 2015 model year. You might expect that all those new features would result in a big price bump, but you'd be wrong. Ford is keeping costs identical to the 2014 model with a starting MSRP of $28,100 (*plus an $895 destination charge), according to Edmunds. Ford spokesperson William Mattiace confirmed the numbers to Autoblog.
That's a pretty good deal, but the real ticket here might be the model's Sport trim. Buyers get a 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine with over 300 horsepower and standard adaptive steering for $28,600 plus destination. That's just $500 more than the base model.
Pricing for the Titanium trim has not yet been announced, but it'll be a short wait to find out. Mattiace tells Autoblog that full pricing and the configuration for the model will launch on November 5. He has also confirmed that the 2015 Edge will begin hitting dealers in the first quarter of 2015.
Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
2015 Ford Expedition stays the course, adds EcoBoost power
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The era of the body-on-frame, fullsize SUV is rapidly vanishing in favor of smaller, unibody crossovers. However, Ford still sees life in the segment with the reveal of the updated 2015 Expedition, now available (solely) with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. The new truck will make its public debut at the 2014 DFW Auto Show in Dallas on February 19.
The loss of the previous 5.4-liter V8 in favor of Ford's 3.5-liter, direct-injected, twin-turbocharged V6 engine might rankle some of the Expedition's fans, but Ford claims that the change gives the SUV better fuel economy, more power and increased low-end torque than before. Unfortunately, official engine specifications won't be released until later this year, but Ford says engine output will be similar to the 365 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque that this powerplant produces in other applications. The EcoBoost is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and the SUV now uses electrically assisted power steering, for an even greater fuel economy advantage. Ford claims this also allows for better maneuverability at low speeds and better feel at high speeds.
Exterior styling is basically unchanged for 2015. The front end has the same three-bar chrome grille and headlight design, but the lower air dam gets added chrome and LED lamps. The rear gets more brightwork on the hatch, and there's a chrome-tipped exhaust pipe. As before, Ford is offering the Expedition in two wheelbase lengths - 119 inches and 131 inches. A new, optional, continuously controlled damping system alters suspension settings constantly based on 46 parameters and offers comfort, normal and sport modes (just like the Expedition's sister, the recently refreshed and decidedly less-attractive Lincoln Navigator).
