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.

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.

Ford Focus Electric and ST recalled over lighting issue

Mon, 12 Aug 2013

Ford is recalling 6,308 units of the 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric and 2013 Focus ST that were fitted with HID headlights because a "wiring incompatibility" could keep the front side marker lights from working. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall should begin in the middle of this month, after which owners can take their cars to dealers to have the wiring assembly repaired free of charge.
You can find more information in the NHTSA bulletin posted below.
