This is a solid project car, runs, drives, stops, steers and can be driven on the street while you fix up. This is an all original 1969 Mach 1. Car needs paint, body, interior work. Sold "as is". I bought to restore, don't have time. Car is missing its trim rings on wheels. Dash pad cracked and faded. Seats all good except drivers its foam worn,torn and foam can be seen. Its rusty here and there. Worst rust right side trunk floor pan is shot. Fender aprons rusted at overlap as usual. Floors and underneath are good in my opinion. Engine is original, trans is original . Minor power steering leak, small oil leak. I found in a barn, replaced gas tank, sender, cleaned lines, replaced fuel pump, carb, and she runs great. Very strong runner, shifts nice. Primer on car is from misc. sanding and covering up bare metal to keep from rusting. Black out hood treatment faded off, I have started to reapply but haven't finished. Rim blow works, disk brakes, 9", m code 351 4 valve. Have the Marti report. Sold as is. No warranty. This is a very solid all original all ford all they way it left factory solid project. Wimbledon white with red/burgundy interior. Non working am still in it. 3 speed FMX . Please understand this is not a restored car with the real car hidden below paint and bodywork. This is a unrestored original car, I can impress enough this needs restored but it doesn't have any hidden stuff going on. The lower quarters are rusted, both doors corners are slightly rusted "no holes in doors, rockers and fenders are rust free ford fenders that came on car, same with doors . Roof solid, floors nice except trunk floor . I have put a new tank in and even had the factory original carb rebuilt by a local rebuilder that goes with car. I just added a holley performance carb with electric choke. I also have the factory air cleaner assembly. Door glasses are out, both are good tinted door glass but they became loose in regulator so I pulled them out for safe keeping. Turn signals in scoop work, all lights work, all interior lights work except dash lights. Radio and dash lights no not work assume its a fuse, but don't know for sure. Tires are as new but showing light dry rot, bf goodrich t/a's. Car is kept inside. I will not deliver. I will not allow car to leave until payment is made in full in cash, or cashiers check or wire transfer to my bank and my bank confirms funds are there. $500.00 deposit to be paid through pay pal within 48 hours of close of auction. This is a great car, basket case Mach 1 mustangs are easy and cheap to buy. Totally restored examples are unaffordable for most. The reserve on this car is very favorable when you look at both ends of the spectrum. Not very often can you find one that hasn't been messed with and is all factory original as this one. One more disclosure this is a project car, it needs work, every part needs attention, but every part is there and every part is Ford. Car is located in Central Virginia, just outside Richmond.

2016 Ford Explorer embarks at the LA Auto Show

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

Twenty-five years since its debut in 1990, Ford will celebrate a quarter century of Explorer models next year with the debut of a refreshed 2016 model at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. The Blue Oval is keeping mum on hard details about the updated SUV for now, but the brand promises, "a new look, added capability and additional driver-assist technology," in its announcement.
Company marketing boss Jim Farley elaborated a little more on what to expect. "The new Explorer is still the SUV America fell in love with - a vehicle built for the perfect family adventure," he said in the release that you're welcome to read down below.
An updated Explorer is a pretty big deal for Ford's bottom line. Worldwide, SUVs and crossovers account for about 23 percent of Ford's sales, and the segment is projected to grow to around 29 percent by 2020. Ford further says that SUVs and CUVs are the world's quickest growing segment with demand up 88 percent since 2008.

Auto investor Kirk Kerkorian dead at 98

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Kirk Kerkorian, among the most talked-about investors in the American auto industry in recent memory, died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The billionaire ran the investment company Tracinda Corp. and was the largest shareholder in MGM Resorts International. Kerkorian attempted to use his power as a well-financed investor to push the auto industry in some fascinating ways. In 2006, he used his nearly 10-percent stake in General Motors to push a merger with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The deal made it as far as discussions, but eventually fell through. Kerkorian also attempted to purchase Chrysler - twice. According to Automotive News, the first effort came in 1995 with a $22.8-billion offer for the automaker, and soon after it failed the company merged with Daimler. Then in 2007, Kerkorian was back with a bid for $4.5 billion, but things eventually fell to Cerberus. The billionaire finished the trifecta by buying up $1 billion in Ford stock in 2008 to make Kerkorian the single largest investor in the company. However, the situation didn't last long, and by the end of that year, he had unloaded the shares. According to Automotive News, Kerkorian was ranked by Forbes as the world's 41st richest man in 2008 with a net worth of $16 billion.

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
