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.

2015 Ford Mustang production starts in Flat Rock
Thu, 28 Aug 2014Today's the day, Ford fans. Production has officially commenced on the sixth-generation 2015 Mustang at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. As production ramps up, sales should kick off in the coming months.
The production news isn't just a bit deal for American fans. With the new Mustang getting a bespoke right-hand-drive variant, the pony car's worldwide availability has swollen to include 120 different countries, including its home nation.
"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience - one unlike any other."
Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.
Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
