This is a numbers matching, authentic Mach I. I am just the 3rd owner of this is a 56,000 original mile car. It was originally purchased locally, and cared for meticulously since day one. Extremely rare color combo, and in my humble opinion, the nicest. Wimbeldon white, with red leather. It has the 302, C6 automatic combo, and both of them perform FLAWLESSLY. I can't emphasize that enough. One pump, she fires right up on high idle. Another tap, and it idles down perfectly. When it's warm, one touch of the ignition, and it starts like it's fuel injected. Just had a complete tune-up. Plugs, points, wires, cap and rotor, oil change, etc. Belts and hoses all recent as well. Without any exaggeration, this car runs, shifts, and drives PERFECT. There is ZERO slop in the front end. Very tight, and tracks and stops perfectly straight, It has drums all around, and the shoes, wheel cylinders, and tires are all less than two years old. It is an absolute pleasure to drive, which makes it really hard to to sell. Only selling because I need cash to put down on a house, or I'd be keeping this car for sure. The car was painted about 5 years ago, and the paint looks FANTASTIC. It was a professional, bare metal, $8,000 job. No checking, scratches, or swill marks whatsoever. The pictures don't do it justice. There are a few little nicks here and there, and a few bubble spots, but otherwise perfect. I took pics of the flaws. A few really small ones on the corner of the hood, and a spot on the bottom rear panel, for which I have a new patch panel. It's only a small area in the black portion. The other side is mint. One other small one next to the deck lid. All the chrome and stainless trim is excellent. The chassis, frame and floors are GREAT, with the exception of the area around the driver's floor. A small portion of the driver's floor is soft, but I have a brand new floor pan. The most common issue with these uni-body Stangs is the frame in the same area, near the steering box. The previous owner was smart enough to recognize it, and had a piece of channel professionally welded under and over it, so that it would NEVER be a problem. I took a pic of this as well. This car is VERY structurally sound, and there are NO other soft spots. The floors, trunk, doors, and rockers are all rock solid. Inside, it's very nice. Seats look almost new, door panels are nice, and the dash is almost perfect. I say almost because there is one small spider-sized crack. Very easy repair. Everything works. Lights, gauges, radio, horn, heat, etc. Windows all go up and down smooth, and all the glass is perfect. No cracks, nicks, or clouding. Even the weather stripping is all nice. The headliner needs replacing, and I have a brand new one. I also have a brand new black carpet set, with factory Mustang inlays. The carpet in it now is ok, but I planned on installing the new floor pan, so new carpet seemed logical. I also have a complete new dual exhaust, and the correct rear valance with the dual cut-outs. Nothing wrong with the exhaust on it now, just wanted duals. All in all, this a VERY nice, VERY sharp Mach, that with just a little more TLC would be a stunning car. It only needs a few things, and a good detail. Don't let the fact that it's a small block fool you. It WILL lay down a patch of rubber, and set you back in your seat when it drops down into passing gear. Best of all, it gets nearly twice the gas mileage of a big block, which means more time cruising. This is a real auction, which means NO RESERVE. High bidder drives it home. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it ANYWHERE. If needed, I will help in any way I can with shipping. Only cash or certified checks, and paid in full within 5 days. If you aren't sure if you will have the money, DO NOT BID. I have zero tolerance for having my time wasted. That all said, bid with confidence. No dissapointments with this beauty, and my feedback speaks for itself. Any questions, feel free to call or text me anytime. My name is Jim, and my # is (585)261-6547.

I just want to add a few things. The body on this car is lazer-straight!  All the body gaps are perfect, and the doors open and close perfectly. NO drop in them at all, as is common in these heavy doors. The interior is darker than the pics show. More of a blood red. I also have brand new door sill plates. In all, I have close to $1,000 on extra brand new parts going with the car. It has power steering, but not power brakes. Don't let the manual brakes discourage you. This car stops GREAT. This being a 302 car, the front end is lighter, and these cars are light to begin with. What the 302 loses in a few horses to the 351, it more than makes up for in handling, gas mileage, and reliablity. I've owned some 50 classic and muscle cars, most of them very nice, and this is the best driving one I've ever owned. It's really hard to find an old car that doesn't have some issue with the front end, brakes, steering, vibration, etc. This one has NONE. It literally drives like NEW.

Ford Fiesta banned from SCCA autocrossing because of rollover risk

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Autocross can be a great way to break into motorsports, especially at SCCA events that allow run-of-the-mill, street-legal vehicles to be run through the cones in parking lots across the country. But while a wide array of vehicles are eligible, not every one is. And now the Ford Fiesta has been removed from the list of qualifying vehicles in the Sports Car Club of America's Street category for solo events. The removal of the Fiesta was publicized in the latest issue of the SCCA's Fastrack News bulletin, which stated that, due to roll-over risk, Fiestas "do not meet the requirements and are to be removed" from the HS category of eligible vehicles. H Stock (or HS for short) is the lowest category of vehicles certified by the SCCA for use in sanctioned events. The disqualification applies to Fiestas from the 2011 model year onwards, and does not apply to the Fiesta ST, which remains eligible. Of course the Fiesta isn't the only model deemed ineligible for SCCA autocross events. According to Jalopnik, other small hatchbacks and crossovers including the Dodge Caliber, Fiat 500, Scion xB and iQ, Nissan Juke and Mini Countryman are also prohibited from competition. We've reached out to both Ford and the SCCA for clarification on the issue, and will issue an update if and when we receive any substantial information.

Ford recalls 9,900 vehicles across two campaigns

Tue, Dec 29 2015

Ford is recalling a total of 9,885 vehicles in two campaigns. The Basics: In one recall, Ford will recall 9,017 examples of the 2013 Escape with build dates from January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and the 2013-2014 Focus ST produced between May 3, 2012, and October 14, 2013. The Problem: Splices in the engine wiring harness might not have enough compression, and this can cause the manifold absolute pressure sensor to send incorrect signals to the powertrain control module. This issue could cause the engine to stall. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If You Own One: The repair campaign will begin on January 4, 2016. More Information: Ford recalled the 2013 Escape and Focus ST in August 2014 for the same problem, and this is an expansion of that campaign, according to company spokesperson John Cangany to Autoblog. The Basics: In the smaller of the two campaigns, Ford will recall 868 examples of the 2013 Explorer, Explorer Police Utility, Taurus, Taurus Police Interceptor, Flex, Lincoln MKS, and MKT. The Problem: The fuel delivery module can crack, which would cause a fuel leak. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module. If You Own One: Owners should receive notice soon because NHTSA's report says the recall begins in December. More Information: According to Cangany, this recall is an expansion of a campaign from 2013 for these vehicles. RECALL Subject : Engine Wiring Splices may cause Stall Report Receipt Date: DEC 02, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V813000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 9,017 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD ESCAPE 2013 FORD FOCUS 2013-2014 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles manufactured May 03, 2012, to October 14, 2013. Insufficient compression in the engine wiring harness splices to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor may provide incorrect signals to the powertrain control module (PCM). CONSEQUENCE: The incorrect signals could cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

California Man Reunited 33 Years Later With Thunderbird

Wed, Sep 3 2014

A California man was at a loss for words when he was reunited with his prized 1964 Ford Thunderbird on Tuesday, 33 years after it was stolen from a bar parking lot. Gary Chartrand could hardly believe how well his old Thunderbird held up in the last three decades. The odometer had only added about 1,000 miles from when he last saw the car back in the 1980s. "A few bumps and bruises but boy, not much changed," Chartrand told KOVR. Chartrand bought the car as a present to himself after finalizing his divorce from his wife of 10 years in 1981. It disappeared one night from the parking lot of a Sacramento bar where he was working. Police found Chartrand's car 750 miles north in Washington State. They have no leads on who might have stolen the classic car. Related Gallery Buying An Older Car: Five Things To Watch Out For
