This car belonged to my dad and after settling his estate my sister decided she didn't want the car that I had been holding for her. This car snorts! My dad bought this for revisiting his childhood and was recreating a car that he had down to the twilight mist (purple) color. The car has been altered from original as follows: emblems, hood ornament, trunk key hole and gas cap hole all removed and smoothed out. 455 engine crammed in with a 4 speed auto. Front axle is not original and has disc brakes. The good about this car is that it is fun, easy to work on, and starts fairly easily. It's a great toy. The bad it that it has sat for years and there is some surface rust in the engine compartment (mainly on the engine block and master cylinder) and isn't perfect by any means. The things that I have noticed are the seals on the door windows are not in place, when you put the pedal down I think a wheel may rub a little since I hear the same noise on small bumps when going slow and the rear wheel wells have been repaired from rust (see pics). We have not had any issues with the rust repair in the wheel wells and appear smooth from the outside of the car. Simply this will never be a show car but is a fun car. I don't consider it a money pit and thought about keeping it for cruise ins but I'm a farmer and I'm busy that time of year. The reserve is reasonable. We had this car appraised twice in 2006 (13-12k) and I realize that was a different time economically but this car is a luxury item and not a need so I am not looking to give it away but it needs a different home.

Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.
Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford
Thu, 22 May 2014It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.
