1969 Ford Country Sedan Stationwagon. 390 Big Block Ford FE 2bbl Motor and C6 Automatic Transmission. Runs strong and shifts smooth. The odometer shows 35,108.  This is the full size Ford based on the Galaxie or LTD platform. I have the full Marti Report on this car.  It has A/C, original factory AM-FM Stereo, Power Steering, Power Brakes with Disc in the front, and Power Rear Tailgate Window. The A/C needs to be recharged and the Power Rear Window is not working currently. The Tailgate is the dual opening style. It opens to the side like a door, or down like a truck tailgate. This particular car was not ordered with the 3rd Row Seat. The Country Sedan was the model just below the Country Squire. The only difference being that the Country Sedan did not have the 'Wood Panel' sides. Everything is original on this car except for a repaint of the original Blue years ago. The interior is blue and all original. The door panels are in great shape, however the dash pad is cracked, and the front seat has a few seem rips. 

The frame is perfect. The car has had a ton of mechanical work done already.

Brakes and Brakes lines
Master Cylinder
Fuel line
Starter and Selenoid
Carb rebuild
Plug Wires and Cap
New Pertronix Electronic Ignition Module, (eliminates the points in the distributor)
New Exhaust Manifolds
Top End of the Motor rebuilt including Reconditioning the Heads and Re-gasketing everything, (head gaskets, intake gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, carb gaskets, valve cover gaskets)

The gas tank has a few pin holes in it so I currently have it running off a 2 gallon gas can. I've already had the tank out, it can be removed in less than 10 minutes. I did find a place in PA who will completely refurbish the tank

As for the body, there is some rust. The rust is in the typical areas, rear quarters, spare tire well, rear storage area floor, (where the 3rd seat would normally mount), the front edge of the hood, and the tailgate skin.

All in all, the car is 100% complete. All of the trim is intact, the factory tinted glass is all perfect. With a gas tank repair this car can be rolling down the road.

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well.

2015 Ford Mustang invades SEMA, led by King Cobra

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Ford showcased more than a dozen customized 2015 Mustangs at its sprawling 20,000-square foot display this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center as the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary celebration continued at the SEMA Show.
While Mustangs are always a hot commodity at SEMA, the new generation brought increased attention from the aftermarket, as builders like Galpin Auto Sports, Richard Petty's Garage and Vaughn Gittin Jr. offered their takes on the new 'Stang.
The extensive display included a range of Mustangs from mild to wild, with everything from a 600-plus horsepower King Cobra pictured at the top, to paint-and-wheel packages. The new regal Cobra, which we spied early in our SEMA adventure this year, may not be the replacement for the Cobra Jet as we speculated, but it does seem to point the way forward for the next iteration of a supreme Ford dragster. Fat drag slicks out back make it's reason for being abundantly clear, and for tells us that modded car is good for a 10.97-second quarter-mile run.
