Originally a high desert southern Idaho car, 352/cruiseomatic trans, Palm Springs Rose paint with black/white vinyl interior. Originally from our inventory of restorable project cars, purchased in the mid 90s by a retired law enforcement officer to restore in his retirement years. He sold it back to us after completing all of the mechanical work. Restoration was finished at our in-house restoration shop early this year and has done the show and shine tour this summer. Now its ready for a new home!!!
        The original 352 was bored .030 and fitted with new pistons, crank turned .010 and all new parts installed. The heads were rebuilt with new valves and hardened seats. All the machinework was done at a reputable machineshop. A Edelbrock Performer intake, edelbrock carb, and pertronics ignition conversion were installed along with a later Ford alternator. A complete new exhaust was installed. The original trans was rebuilt and installed and the front suspension was cleaned, re built and installed. The brakes were rebuilt at the same time with new wheel cylinders ect. The rear diff was treated to a good cleaning and re-seal. Wheels were changed to later tbird 15; and new Goodyear tires installed (the original 14; wheels go with the car if you want them). Milage at the time of restoration was believed to be 81,000 or close to that. At this point the owner decided to sell it back to us after working on it for about 10 years. Bodywork consisted of repairing some light damage to the front above the bumper, and some minor dings and dents here and there. The car was 99% rust free and did not require any patches to the floors or trunk. All of the materials were quality BASF primers and base/clear products. Paint was re-done in the original code V Palm Springs Rose. The interior is completely new top to bottom including headliner, dash pad, carpet, door panels and seats. Driver seat is power and works good. Over $2000.00 was spent on the interior alone!!! New weatherstripping was used on the doors and roofrails. The wipers were converted to electric New Port engineering wiper motor. All of the stainless trim was polished and re-installed. A new trunk trim kit and underhood kit was installed.
        Since restoration was completed early this year, the car has done the local show and shines and cruise nights. The engine runs flawlessly, the trans shifts smooth, everything works great. Excellent driver, very dependable. About the only issues it has are- The windshield is original therefor has a few light scratches accumulated over the years. The bumpers are also original but the chrome is driver quality only, when examined up close they present some scratches and thin spots. They are very straight and no dents so a good replating job shouldnt cost that much. Overall a very nice car, no way one could be restored for the reserve amount, let alone parts and labor costs.

This 1969 Ford F-100 has a Cadillac CTS-V engine lurking underhood

Fri, Jan 30 2015

Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.

Ford to ramp up Lincoln rollout in China in bid to catch rivals

Thu, Apr 12 2018

DETROIT/BEIJING — Ford Motor Co's premium Lincoln brand plans to build as many as five new vehicles in China by 2022, according to two U.S. sources, in a move to expand sales in the world's largest vehicle market that would also blunt the impact of trade U.S.-China trade spats. Ford has said it plans to build an all-new sport utility vehicle in China by the end of 2019, however the company has not detailed future production plans for the Lincoln brand in China beyond that. "Our localization plans to support the China market are on track and will serve to further drive Lincoln's growth in China," Lincoln spokeswoman Angie Kozleski said. "Beyond that, it would be premature to discuss our future product and production plans or timing." Sources familiar with Ford's production plans told Reuters the automaker now expects to begin building the new Lincoln Aviator in China in late 2019 or early 2020, along with replacements for the MKC compact crossover and the MKZ midsize sedan, followed in 2021 by the all-new Nautilus, which replaces the Lincoln MKX crossover. A fifth model, a small coupe-like crossover, is tentatively slated for production in China in 2022, the sources said. Ford has much to lose if the war of words over trade between China and U.S. President Donald Trump escalates into a full-blown tariff war. Last year, it shipped about 80,000 vehicles to China from North America, more than half of them Lincolns to support the brand's growth. All Lincoln vehicles that Ford now sells in China are brought in from North America. Even if China does reduce its 25 percent tariff on imported vehicles - as Chinese President Xi Jinping promised on Tuesday - it is not clear that would mean a big, long-term increase in Fords and Lincolns made in U.S. factories heading to Chinese showrooms. Ford is pursuing long-range plans to build more vehicles in China to serve a market that is now roughly 60 percent larger than the U.S. market, and projected to keep growing. But it is playing catch up to hometown rival General Motors Co and German luxury brands including Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which have invested heavily in Chinese production in recent years as a form of insurance against trade, political and currency gyrations and to lower price points for their premium cars.

2015 Ford Focus gets more Aston-y [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

With more and more members of the Ford brand adopting a new familial face, the Focus has been left looking like an odd man out. At the Geneva Auto Show, though, it properly rejoined the family, adopting the now familiar Aston Martin-ish grille that's proliferated throughout the range.
Overall, we're liking the refreshed Focus' look. Aside from the new grille, the headlights have been restyled and now look like elongated versions of the lamps on the Focus ST. Functionally, those headlamps are bi-xenon units, complete with an adaptive front lighting system. Out back, the rear retains the same overall look, which has been smoothed out for 2015.
In the cabin, the second-generation of Ford's much-maligned Sync system makes its debut. Sync 2, as it's called, is supposedly more intuitive than the first-gen system. Ford is promising "one-shot" navigation functions for the system. Saying "I'm hungry," should bring up a list of nearby restaurants. Of course, we'll be reserving final judgment until we can test the new system in person.
