When listing this car previously, I left out a fiberglass console that I had purchased from Dearborn several years ago, but have not yet installed. It is pictured here and will be included with the car. While I have owned several classic cars since my retirement, I upgrade and keep most of them. I do, however, have space limitations which require me to let go of one occasionally. This vehicle has always been stored inside and driven in the summer months to cruise-ins for a total of 3,375 miles in the 10 years I have owned it. Some minor body work and new paint will make this a nice show car. I have done my best to show and describe where body work is needed with the photos. Both rear wheel wells are showing rust where the stainless trim is mounted. The passenger door has bondo cracking where it had been repaired before I bought the car. The following is a list of new items and/or modifications which I have made in the past 10 years: New tail pipes and chrome tips New inside rear view mirror New gauges in dash New tachometor in dash New dome lamp body New wheel opening moldings New power steering valve, left and right outer tie rod ends, idler arm, front end alighment and new tires New door arm rests, both right and left New carpeting New color matched floor mats with Torino logo Installed new Edlebrock 4-barrell manifold and new Holley 600 cfm carburator New tail light lenses New hood lip molding New kick panels New parking light lenses New starter New windshileld wiper pump New power steering hoses Removed automatic transmission and installed Ford toploader 4-speed transmission New flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, Torino pedals, rods, z-brackets and clutch arm Installed new Hurst shifter and new drive shaft Replaced old rear end with 350 positive traction rear end Installed new brake shoes and hoses New coil New Malory Unilite distributor New Fuel Pump New radiator hose set New belts New Griffin aluminum radiator New front and reat Motorcraft gas shocks New Flowmaster mufflers New motor mounts |

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.
First retail 2015 Ford Mustang headed to Barrett-Jackson
Fri, 20 Dec 2013Want to be the very first person to own a 2015 Ford Mustang GT? Here's what you'll need to do: be in Scottsdale, AZ on January 18 for the Barrett-Jackson auction and bring a very big checkbook. Having a passion for charity isn't a bad idea either.
Yes, the first 2015 Mustang to be sold to the public will be crossing the block at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, with proceeds from the auction going to JDRF, the charity formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"Ford Mustangs have always been among the most popular collector cars at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car events," said the president of Barrett-Jackson, Steve Davis. "While every collector wishes they had snapped up the first Mustang sold in 1964, this is an opportunity to realize that dream in a different way."
Ford Explorer is America's new favorite police car
Mon, 24 Mar 2014There is a new vehicle that you should keep an eye out for when you're going a little too fast down the Interstate. Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility was the bestselling new law enforcement model in the country last year, and signs show that won't be changing anytime soon.
Ford sold 14,086 Interceptor Utilities in 2013, up 140% from the year before, and 10,897 Interceptor Sedans, up 31%, according to USA Today. Overall, the brand's police sales were up 48 percent, and they were enough to boost the company's law enforcement vehicle market share by 9 points to nearly 50 percent.
The success comes just a few years after it made the decision to finally retire the long-serving Crown Victoria-based cruiser for two more modern vehicles. "We had to reinvent the category," said Chris Terry of Ford Communications to Autoblog. The automaker had to convince police departments that a unibody chassis without a V8 could perform better than a model that had been a law enforcement staple for years.
