Well I have been tossing around the idea of letting this car go. Unfortunately due to my involvement with the Army I have no time to utilize this car. Ive had it for almost 5 years now, and it's been an awesome car to have at car shows, and to just drive around town. The rarity ensures that you're the only one at the car show with an SVO. It won first place in the 2012 NMRA car show where it gain a small part in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords magazine. This car has been driven to and from New York with no reliability issues in 2011. It had 84,000 miles on it when purchased which is reflected on the title and does not say exempt, as most vehicles over 10 years do. Now has about 100,700 miles. This is probably the most documented SVO out there, with over 100 pages of original documents, restoration receipts, and maintenance records. Some of these papers include, the original window sticker, copy of the build sheet, and even the brochure the original owner used to shop for the vehicle. It comes with the dealer key chain that came with the car. It was purchased at Powell Ford in Florida in the mid 80's. Then was purchased by the second owner where it resided in Georgia for a number of years. Now is in Orlando, Florida. All of the bills of sale are in the folder. There is no rust from the salty roads that come along with driving up North. The only aftermarket parts on this car are the Walbro 255lph fuel pump, and the Crane adjustable fuel pressure regulator. It has a Ford Motorsport A237 roller cam in it along with the adjustable cam gear so it has a nice lope to it. Tires are new and have about 6,000 miles.

This SVO comes with a few additional parts, which include: a NOS HR980 AC compressor, Ford SVO bra, the original radio (which needs to be installed, does not come with the after market head unit because I plan to put it in a different vehicle), comes with two 10" kenwood subwoofers and a sony amplifier, an extra computer, and 4 extra ORIGINAL SVO take off wheels with Goodyear Gatorback tires which have less than 5,000 miles and NO dry rotting (for show use only). This car is awesome, and has been one of my favorite SVOs I've ever had. Due to the rarity, and my love for SVOs I am not willing to selling this vehicle to anyone who has plans to put a V8 in it. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me via text or phone call at (407) 489-9207.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.

Moon landing anniversary: How Detroit automakers won the space race

Fri, Jul 19 2019

America's industrial might — automakers included — determined the outcome of the 20th centuryÂ’s biggest events. The “Arsenal of Democracy” won World War II, and then the Cold War. And our factories flew us to the moon. Apollo was a Cold War program. You can draw a direct line from Nazi V-2 rockets to ICBMs to the Saturn V. The space race was a proxy war — which beats a real war. It was a healthy outlet for technology and testosterone that would otherwise be used for darker purposes. (People protested, and still do, that money for space should go to problems here on Earth, but more likely the military-industrial complex would've just bought more bombs with it.) As long as we and the Soviet Union were launching rockets into space, we were not lobbing them at each other. JFKÂ’s challenge to “go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard,” put American industry back on a war footing. We were galvanized to beat the Russians, to demonstrate technological dominance. (A lack of similar unifying purpose is why we havenÂ’t been to the moon since, or Mars.) NASA says more than 400,000 Americans, from scientists to seamstresses, toiled on the moon program, working for government or for 20,000 contractors. Antagonism was diverted into something inspirational. The Big Three automakers were some of the biggest companies in the moon program, which might surprise a lot of people today. Note to a new generation who marveled when SpaceX launched a Tesla Roadster out into the solar system: Sure, that was neat, but just know that Detroit beat Elon Musk to space by more than half a century. This high point in human history was brought to you by Ford ItÂ’s hard to imagine in this era of Sony-LG-Samsung, but Ford used to make TVs. And other consumer appliances. Or rather Philco, the radio, TV and transistor pioneer that Ford bought in 1961 — the year Gagarin and Alan Shepard flew in space. Ted Ryan, FordÂ’s archives and heritage brand manager, just wrote a Medium article on the central role Philco-Ford played in manned spaceflight. And nothingÂ’s more central than Mission Control in Houston, the famous console-filled room we all know from TV and movies. What we didn't know was, that was Ford. Ford built that. In 1953, Ryan notes, Philco invented a transistor that was key to the development of (what were then regarded as) high-speed computers, so naturally Philco became a contractor for NASA and the military.
