This car was originally a V6 car and my father put a 302 in it before he passed away.  My family kept the car sitting since 1994 or 1995 and I recently obtained it.  It did not run at the time and the fuel tank was trashed, the lines were plugged, the carb needed rebuilt.  We went through the car and replaced the fuel lines, put in a stainless steel fuel cell, electric fuel pump, new double row aluminum racing radiator, external transmission cooler, new transmission lines, new starter, new rag joint in the steering column, etc.  This car already had custom Hooker Headers on it with 3" collectors so we ran 2 1/4" duel exhaust into glass packs.  The car sounds amazing.  The interior is in great shape for how long she sat.  She just needs someone who can finish her, someone who can take on the project. Throughout the motor there are misc aftermarket parts, arp studs here and there.  The story goes that the motor was pulled out of a Bronco and was built for high performance, and then after my dad passed away some of the stock parts were put back on the car.  This car does run and drive.  The car is extremely fast and could be much faster.  This car currently has the stock 2 barrel carb and is still fast, imagine it with a 4 barell. Sadly, the tires are dry rotted, the engine does have a few oil leak as well as the tranny, both from sitting, the electric fans are wired into the key switch, it needs the trunk floor to be finished to accommodate the fuel cell.  However the car does have the original keys, a clean title, and does drive very nice, the lights all work, and best of all the inside does not have that funky smell from sitting most cars get.  The body itself does not have damage other than faded paint.  To put it simple it's a nice light Mustang 2 body with a nice big V8 in it. This car starts and runs and moves under its own power but is not drivable this car is sold as is.

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).

National Geographic Channel balances Ford F-150 on four coffee mugs

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Proving that there is still something to be learned on television these days, National Geographic Channel recently introduced a new series called Duck Quacks Don't Echo. On the first episode of this science/comedy show, host Michael Ian Black proposes the idea that a truck can be supported with a ceramic coffee mug under each wheel - yes, he says that the entire weight of a truck can be balanced on just four coffee mugs.
Looking to find out whether this is fact or myth, the show uses a regular cab Ford F-150, weighing in at 4,800 pounds, and four average coffee mugs. Lowered onto the mugs, the idea is quickly put to the test. Can the cups hold up under 4,800 pounds? If so, what, exactly, would it take to break them? Scroll down below to find out.

Ford barely edges surging Chrysler for Canadian sales crown in best year ever

Thu, Jan 8 2015

The auto industry in the US showed strong results through much of 2014 with sales regularly growing year-over-year for many brands. That same trend carried over in the Great White North, as well. Canada posted its best numbers ever with 1.85 million units sold, up about 100,000 vehicles over 2013. The country nearly had a new market leader, too. The big winner among our neighbors to the north in 2014 was Ford with 291,951 vehicles sold, up 3 percent from 2013, according to Reuters. That success also handed the company the sales crown for the fifth consecutive year. In large part, the strong result came from the company's popular trucks, which represented about 80 percent of overall sales. "Ford moved into the number one position in September and didn't look back," said a note to clients by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants quoted by Reuters. However, the Blue Oval didn't exactly take an overwhelming lead for the year. The company nearly had to hand over the sales trophy to FCA after the company rallied in the latter part of the year. The Italian-American conglomerate had its best results ever to nip at the Ford's heels and move 290,004 units for 2014, a 12-percent improvement from last year. Jeep especially helped the bottom line with over 50-percent growth, according to Reuters. Only two other brands were able to break the 200,000-vehicle barrier in Canada for 2014. General Motors came in third place overall with 249,800 sales, up 6.3 percent. The combined Toyota and Lexus also barely jumped the hurdle with 200,851 units moved, a 2.8 percent improvement.
