This auction is for a used 1974 Ford Gran Torino Elite with 351 Windsor engine and C6 automatic transmission. This car has been undergoing repair work and is a running, driving and mostly completed car. Repair work done: Engine remanufactured at local machine shop and has added main stud girdle and rocker girdles. The boring process brought the cubic inches up from 351 to 357. The intake is a four barrel aluminum Edelbrock RPM Air Gap performance intake. The carburetor is a FoMoCo four barrel 4100 with vacuum secondaries and automatic choke. The brakes have mostly new parts and the steering gearbox has new seals installed. A new radiator was added and a new Die Hard Gold battery was installed. It has very rare functional automatic seat back unlatchers (when door opens seat backs unlatch for rear occupants to exit). It also includes an original set of hubcaps and it has new tires. It also includes a set of studded snow tires (one of which is currently serving as the spare). Also the exhaust and muffler are new. Repair work to be completed: Needs new carpet, one front seat spring needs repaired (easy to get to), rear defroster glass setup needs installed (have complete setup with wiring, switch and glass), lower body small rust repairs need completed, steering wheel needs crack repairs (a temporary one is in place and two original type and color steering wheels with a horn bar are included but are off the car for repairs), the dash pad has cracks and needs repaired, the right rear bumper mount needs replaced and the vinyl roof is old and needs replaced. There is some sawdust in some of the pictures and the car is dusty however I will clean it before pickup. The car has been garage kept and lightly driven by my parents for about 20 years and is drivable (as long as the rust is tended to so there's no chance of exhaust getting into the car however unlikely). Buyer pays all shipping and should arrange for delivery. I may at my discretion deliver for a set fee in and around PA state. An ideal garage for this car would be at least 21 feet in length. VIN 4G21H264169 Mileage says 13150 however I believe it is 113150 actually. Body 65M Color 5J 1 Trim JU Trans. U Axle 2 DSO 16 Date 6/74 GVWR 5463 Any questions feel free to ask. Thanks and have a nice day.

Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.

Drive Ford's new Mustang in Need For Speed Rivals

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

If waiting for the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang to hit dealerships is just too tall of an order, you'll be happy to hear that there is now an alternative means of getting behind the wheel of America's favorite pony car. The Mustang is making its video game debut in Need For Speed Rivals.
"We worked closely with the development team at EA to provide them with engineering data for the new Mustang, several months before we showed it to the rest of the world," said Ford product licensing manager Mark Bentley. "Computer design models enabled the game developers to create an accurate representation of the new Mustang before it goes on sale."
Players will have access to five unique designs for the Mustang, allowing a degree of individuality beyond solid colors and decals. According to Digital Marketing Manager Andrea Zuehlk of Ford, those designs are drawn from the four most popular designs on the Mustang Customizer, an online, mobile and tablet app that allows the public to design their own custom Mustang. A fifth design, penned by drift racer Vaughn Gittin, Jr., is also available.

Ford recalls Explorer and Lincoln MKC for fire hazard

Thu, Mar 31 2016

The Basics: Ford will recall 5,536 examples of the 2016 Explorer and 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC. The Explorers have build dates between October 20, 2014, and January 28, 2016, at the Chicago Assembly Plant. The MKCs are from between November 25, 2013, and January 25, 2016, at the Louisville Assembly Plant. In total, there are 3,129 total affected examples of the 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2,407 examples of the 2016 Ford Explorer. Of these, 1,543 are in the US and 3,993 are in Canada. The Problem: The combination of the engine block design and the block heater in these vehicles can cause the part to overheat when plugged in. Injuries/Deaths: None reported, but there are two cases of underhood fires in Canada. If you own one: Ford will begin notifying owners during the week of May 16, company spokesperson John Cangany tells Autoblog. Related Video: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles to replace engine block heaters Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 5,500 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles to remove the heaters and replace them with an updated design. The engine block design, coupled with the particular block heater installed in these vehicles, causes the unit to be susceptible to overheating when the vehicle is parked and the block heater is plugged in –increasing the risk of an underhood fire. Ford is aware of two reports of underhood fires in Canada, but is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue. Affected vehicles include certain 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC vehicles built at Louisville Assembly Plant, Nov. 25, 2013 through Jan. 25, 2016 and certain 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 20, 2014 through Jan. 28, 2016. There are 5,536 vehicles affected by the issue, including 3,129 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2,407 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles, with 1,543 of the affected vehicles in the United States and federalized territories and 3,993 in Canada. Dealers will remove and replace the engine block heater with an updated design and, if needed, replace the cord at no cost to the customer.
