For auction here is my 1987 Mustang LX with the rare T top option. The t top was discontinued in September of 1987 so not many Mustangs of this body style were optioned this way, especially the LX. I have owned the car since 2006 and have done a lot of work to it over the years. I have installed the complete drivetrain from a 1992 LX so the car has the mass air flow 8 spark plug 2.3 and the computer controlled automatic transmission. The engine runs well and has fresh plugs, wires, and crank sensor. The transmission works well in all gears and has a fresh filter, fluid, and front pump seal. The car is fully driveable. It has been restored in the original Oxford White and looks very nice, but does have some problem areas. There are a couple small bubbles in some areas and the lower part of the front bumper was damaged when the car was hauled home when the crank sensor had failed. It is registered as an antique in PA and the plate can be transferred if desired to a PA buyer. It is also listed as reconstructed, however I do not know why, and the title is in my name. The car is lowered with Intrax springs all around. The steering rack is a 15:1 unit and the car has V8 sway bars. The wheels are custom painted Turbo Coupe 16X7s and the tires are 205/55/16s in good condition. The front brakes are converted to 11" rotors with V8 spindles, and most of the hardlines on the car are replaced. The interior was originally Blue, and has been converted to Black using mostly original black parts. There are some interior items that still need finished such as the headliner, the door panels will need small filler panels, etc. The lower rear seat is the original one dyed, and I am including an original black one that will need the fastening modified since it is a 1992 seat. The heater core is new and the heat works well. The AC is not hooked up and is missing a few underhood items. The car has all 1992 wiring harnesses in it including the dash, so the mileage shown at 138K is from the donor car. This car has 140K but all mechanicals have 138K. The rearend is an 8.8 unit with 3.55 gears and a Traction Lok differential with additional clutches. The doors are from a 1987 LX that had manual windows and locks which is what I wanted. I will include the original doors if desired which are all power, but they are rusty. The t-tops leak, so I purchased new seals that I never installed, and those are included as well. The original key is included for the t-tops and all the keys for the doors and ignition work well. Please review all photos and ask any questions, and please only bid if you have good feedback and want to own the car. I wanted to add that the car has a BBK 155 LPH fuel pump, and the chassis has been painted with POR-15. The door hinges have all been rebuilt with new pins and bushings.

Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.

Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
