This car is my baby and I hate to see it go, but I am in desperate need of some college money. I'm going of to college this August and need to get a cheaper vehicle by then. I had the transmission completely overhauled less that a month ago. The main seal was leaking, so while Aamco had the tranny out, I had them go ahead and rebuild it. This car has the Original 390 Big Block Ford FE engine with a 4bbl carb and matching original 3-speed Transmission. The car has 78,813 original miles on it. This was originally a factory A/C car, but when I bought the car, the compressor was missing. I had every intention of putting a new one in but I just never got around to it. I've had this car about 2 years now and I purchased it from a guy in California. I live in Las Vegas, and drove this sweet ride all the way home from California. There are no overheating problems what-so-ever. Driving it home from California is proof of that. This is my daily driver and I do not have any problems with it. This is a very smooth ride and she cruises. She loves both the freeway and surface streets. The interior is absolutely to die for. It amazes me how much they put into old cars, not like newer cars today. The driver seat needs some upholstery work, but the rest of the seats are nice. The back seats don't even appear to be used. The seats are the original leather. This car came from the factory with power windows and a power driver seat. The front driver and passenger windows work great, but I have some problems with the small back windows. I think they need new motors, but that's not a big deal. There's this aftermarket parts dealer in California called Larry's Thunderbird and Mustang, they have every part imaginable for this car, and for great prices. The front wing windows are really cool, I've never seen anything like them before. They are crank to open and close. Less than 6 months ago, I had a brand new paint job put un the car. That along with the Mustang Racing Wheels are the only things I changed. Other than these things, and the Edelbrock carburetor, the car is in its original condition. I'm 6' 1" and have no problems driving this car. I am very comfortable in it, and with the original tilt-away steering wheel, I can get in and out of the car easily. One of my favorite features this car has is the sequential blinkers, from the factory. The last owner converted the blinkers from vacuum to electric. This car is a real head-turner. I get comments multiple times a day, and will really miss all the attention, but the time has come for me to move on. My future is more important than this car. There will always be other cars for me to buy. Please bid with confidence, this beauty deserves it. If there's anything I missed, please fell free to shoot me an email. Let me know if there are specific things you want pictures of. Thank you!! GOOD LUCK bidding!!

Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update
Fri, May 19 2017Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Ford Fiesta banned from SCCA autocrossing because of rollover risk
Wed, Jan 14 2015Autocross can be a great way to break into motorsports, especially at SCCA events that allow run-of-the-mill, street-legal vehicles to be run through the cones in parking lots across the country. But while a wide array of vehicles are eligible, not every one is. And now the Ford Fiesta has been removed from the list of qualifying vehicles in the Sports Car Club of America's Street category for solo events. The removal of the Fiesta was publicized in the latest issue of the SCCA's Fastrack News bulletin, which stated that, due to roll-over risk, Fiestas "do not meet the requirements and are to be removed" from the HS category of eligible vehicles. H Stock (or HS for short) is the lowest category of vehicles certified by the SCCA for use in sanctioned events. The disqualification applies to Fiestas from the 2011 model year onwards, and does not apply to the Fiesta ST, which remains eligible. Of course the Fiesta isn't the only model deemed ineligible for SCCA autocross events. According to Jalopnik, other small hatchbacks and crossovers including the Dodge Caliber, Fiat 500, Scion xB and iQ, Nissan Juke and Mini Countryman are also prohibited from competition. We've reached out to both Ford and the SCCA for clarification on the issue, and will issue an update if and when we receive any substantial information.
