THIS CAR WILL START AND RUN BUT HAS LOUD KNOCKING NOISE. WAS TOLD THAT THE HARMONIC BALANCER IS BAD. HAVE NOT VERIFIED THIS FACT. WE FILLED THE CARB UP WITH FUEL AND THE CAR ACTUALLY WENT INTO GEAR AND MOVED AND HAD SOME BRAKES. WE DON'T KNOW WHICH ENGINE IT HAS, IT IS A SMALL V8 WITH 2BBL CARB AND AUTO TRANS WHICH ONE IS A ?. THIS CAR IS ROUGH AND HAS SOME RUST ON IT. TRUNK PAN IS SHOT,FLOOR PAN UNDER THE REAR SEAT HAS HOLES IN IT THE FRONT FLOOR PAN FEELS SOLID BUT NOT SURE IF THEY ARE WHAT I WOULD CALL GOOD. THERE IS DAMAGE TO BOTH REAR 1/4 PANELS BUT NOT BAD, THERE IS DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS DOOR. ALL THE TRIM AND LIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE TRUNK BUT AGAIN WE HAVEN'T WENT THROUGH IT TO SEE. I REALLY DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THIS CAR, I SAVED IT FROM THE CRUSHER THINKING THAT SOME ONE MIGHT NEED ONE. THIS IS BY NO MEANS A CAR YOU COULD DRIVE HOME BUT A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR RESTO. CALL SCOTTY FOR ANY INFO YOU MIGHT NEED @ 940-682-5838 9AM-5PM CENTRAL TIME
OH AND THE INTERIOR IS AWFUL BUT SOME GUY WAS HAVING A FIT FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BUT I WOULDN'T PART THE CAR |

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Watch live as Mark Fields is officially named Ford's next CEO
Thu, 01 May 2014We've heard rumblings of a changing of the guard at Ford, and this live stream from The Blue Oval itself is set to confirm the rumors: Alan Mulally will be succeeded by the automaker's current Chief Operating Officer, Mark Fields.
Mulally, who is 68 years old, has served at the head of Ford for eight years, and his official retirement date will be July 1st, 2014. Fields, who is 53 this year, has been with Ford for 25 years and has been groomed to take the helm from Mulally for the last several of those years.
There's an official press release that you can read, but if you're more of a visual person, you're welcome to watch the live video feed of the announcement down below.
NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
