Go back to 1969 and you will find the only year till this year, that THE KING ever drove a blue oval beauty. He did however tear up the racing world in a beautiful PETTY BLUE TORINO COBRA. As the year wore on and the coming of the Daytona's and the super birds, Ford sought to capitalize on the King's season before he jumped ship. They reached out to a select number of southern dealers for a promotion to sell petty blue cobras. The cars were all 351 engines with the exception of I believe 3. The 3 were special promo cars and were all big block 428 cars. These were given away as sweepstakes cars. This car is one of the all original 428 cars and has a just shy of 100k original miles on it. The car is a survivor and hasn't been restored or messed with. The pics you will see are the actual car and have NOT been photo enhanced. The bottom of the car is perfect and better than most one year old cars. the interior, with exception of a good cleaning is perfect. The car runs and drives superb with no flaws and tons of power. The engine purrs and holds nothing back. The car is a factory ordered bench seat c-6 automatic car with the beast, the 428 cj motor backing it up. I hate to sell this car but I have opened a new shop and need to thin out our inventory. I have talked on 2 occasions to a retired NASCAR driver that I have promised not to mention by name that has tried to buy this car twice and I told him I wanted to run on ebay before I actually considered his offer. It is for sale locally and available for viewing and driving before auction ends. I will be glad to make it available to any inspector or you personally for inspection. The car has its flaws in the paint and one surface rust spot under hood but again, I think I would hurt the value of the car by doing anything to it as it is in great shape and runs like a dream. This car is a show stopper anytime I take it out. Marti report shows this as a Promo car and after talking at great length to one of the biggest Ford store owners in the area, he verified all the information I have given you. I have also talked at great lengths with the Petty Foundation and other members of the southeastern Nascar promotions dept, who all verify the Ford Promotions that released these cars to the public. The color code on the door plaque is blank as it should be with any custom or promo cars from Ford of that era. Car is titled and is in locked down dry storage with our other 50 cars. This is truly a one of a kind piece of Ford and Petty history for that collector that wants to have something nobody else has. I have spent a year searching everywhere on the net and only found records of one more of these cars. So bid often and ask any questions you want. The number to our shop is 706-778-3235 or feel free to use the ebay ask question button. First pic is that of Petty's car and the rest are of the car your bidding on. I have already turned down two of the high end auction companies that wanted to pick the car up and I don't need any help selling it. No scammers because Ive seen it all before. I build and restore cars for a living and did corp contract law for 15 years, so if you think you can scam me, think again. NO JOY RIDERS ECT,

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation
Thu, Jan 21 2016The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:
