This vehicle is powered by, I believe, the original 292 Y block V8 with a Ford Autolite 4V carburetor and dual
exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. It starts instantly and runs very nice. The transmission is the cast iron 3 speed
cruiseomatic and the rear is the indestructible Ford 9" . It also has power steering, which has just recently had
the control valve and cylinder rebuilt, and power drum brakes. I also just replaced the alternator.

The chrome including bumpers, emblems, trim, and door handles are excellent.The front bumper was replaced shortly
after I received the car due to an incident which happened during transporting the car to me, and at the same time
both turn signal surrounds were slightly creased, which is visible in the 7th and 8th photos. I did purchase a very
nice pair to have rechromed and replace them, but then decided not to, because the slight damage is not real
noticeable. I will include the two extra ones with the car, and also I have a new complete set of the gold anodized
aluminum side inserts that will come with the car. They probably were not available at time of restoration. All
the stainless steel trim has been polished. The 15 X 6" front and 15X8" American polished 5 spokes are very nice.
Tires are like new 215/65 front and 255/60 rear. The windshield and two side windows appear to have been replaced,
and in excellent condition. The rear window is excellent and original with the Ford script, and the vent widows are
also original, but have some bubbling around the edges.

The beautiful interior was professionally redone just before I purchased it. The newly upholstered power seat is
from a later model Ford Crown Victoria and fits like it belongs there. I believe the white surfaces of the seat is
leather. last year I restored the original steering wheel, and the speedometer cluster. It has an amplified after
market sound system, which can blow your ears out, which was installed in 2013 with receipts for over $400.00, but
the stock Ford AM radio is not a functional unit

Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake

Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]

Mon, 20 May 2013

Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.

1 in 7 Americans say they might buy an EV next, as sales of electrics surge

Wed, Apr 26 2017

About one in seven driving Americans may likely purchase an electric vehicle as their next car, according to an AAA poll, meaning that as many as 30 million Americans may pony up for an EV within the next three to five years. While some of the motivation is environmental, survey recipients say that lower maintenance expenses and solo access to high-occupancy-vehicle lanes are also among the factors behind potentially going electric. Take a look at the AAA press release on the study here. The poll indicates that about as many people are planning to buy an EV for their next car as are looking to buy a pickup, which is impressive given that the best-selling US vehicle is the Ford F-150. And things should only improve, as about 20 percent of millennials polled said that their next car would probably be an EV. The results are all the more encouraging, at least among green-car advocates, because gas prices have fallen about 40 percent within the past five years, meaning that there's less of an incentive to go electric from a purely economic perspective. Through the first quarter of this year, US plug-in vehicle sales were up about 63 percent from a year earlier to about 39,000 vehicles. Meanwhile, when it came to AAA's annual green-vehicle awards for this year, Tesla's Model S and Model X took the large car and SUV categories, respectively, while the Chevrolet Bolt and Volkswagen e-Golf were listed atop the subcompact and compact lists. The Lexus GS 450h hybrid and the Ford F-150 took home AAA's best green vehicle in the midsize and pickup truck categories. Related Video:
