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.

William Clay Ford Sr. dead at 88

Sun, 09 Mar 2014

William Clay Ford, retired vice chairman of Ford Motor Company and the last surviving grandchild of company founder Henry Ford, died this morning after a bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
Ford spent 57 years with his grandfather's company, joining the board of directors in 1948 before graduating from college. Ford also held a position as chairman of the design committee, as well as the chairman of the executive committee and vice chairman of the Board of Directors during his tenure with the company. In a 2013 Detroit Free Press story, retired CFO Allan Gilmour said Ford had an eye for design, and was once able to pick out when a fiberglass model of a Ford Contour was asymmetrical, off by an inch on one side. He retired and assumed the position of director emeritus in 2005.
"My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community," said Bill Ford, Jr., Ford's current executive chairman. "He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all."

Ford looks to space robots to improve car-to-car communications [w/video]

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Ford has partnered with St. Petersburg Polytechnic University for three years to research various kinds of connected vehicle communications. The university tie-up is part of its study of space robots, NASA systems created to enable space-to-Earth communication, and the university's own development of systems that enable communication between the International Space State and Earth.
The objective is for Ford to engineer layers of robust networks and redundancy systems that will allow your car to speak to other cars, to emergency vehicles, to infrastructure like traffic lights and buildings, and to the cloud. Benefits would come in just about every area of transit, from avoiding accidents, to getting medical workers to an accident more quickly, to improving the flow of traffic during rush hour.
Check out the press release below for details on what Ford wants to learn from the JUSTIN Humanoid and NASA Robonaut R2, and a video of technical leader Oleg Gusikhin discussing his interest in the project.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.
