This is an amazing find.A lady in Greensboro, N.C. bought this car new at Friendly Ford in Greensboro.She drove it keeping it in a garage until 1985.She stopped driving it in 1985.I don t know why.The 85 N.C. inspection sticker is still on the windshield and the 1975 N.C.license plate with 1985 sticker is in the trunk. The car was still in the garage when I bought it from her niece who had inherited it. but the roof was leaking causing some surface rust on the top and drivers side fender and door see pictures.The car is in really good shape for nearly 50 years old.The interior is pretty  nice .The door panels  are in good shape as is the back seat.The seat belts in the back are from sears and roebuck the ones in the front are original.The cloth part of the front seat is torn but the vinyl is in good shape.The headliner has 2 small mice holes in it about the size of a pencil eraser and the dash pad is cracked.The floor mat is in good shape no cracks or tears.The body has very little rust there is some in both quarters at the back of the wheel opening probably a rats nest.I tried to lift the trunk mat but it was stuck and I didn t want to tear it.We bent the drivers door and edge of the quarter unloading it off the trailer.The bumpers need re-chroming.The trim looks good but I hadn t tried to clean it up.The jack ,jack handle and spare tire and hold down stuff is still in the trunk.The paint inside the trunk and lid is in good shape as are the jacking instructions.The owners manual and good driver manual owner card and N.C. inspection receipts back til 1967 are in the dash pocket.The engine is seized but it is all there and I assume it needs some brake work. .You could get the engine running paint the exterior repair the front seat put a dash pad on it probably put some tires on it they hold air but they have been on there since 1985 I know and have a beautiful driver or completely restore it and have a show car or put a big block or roller motor in it and have a real sleeper.There are some receipts in the dash for oil changes tires and exhaust work.The speedometer has a little over 78000 miles not exactly sure I ll go look if someone really wants to know the car is about 20 miles from here .The 1984 inspection receipt has 75654 miles on it .I probably have left something out but I ve talked enough.I just think this an amazing find.I have title in hand.The car is in Denton,N.C. about the center of the state.The car will roll and the tires are inflated and I will help load it Please look at pictures and ask questions.Thanks for looking.

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 Mustang GT350R adds a lot more than just a new letter [w/videos]

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Okay Chevrolet, the ball is in your court. Ford served up one hell of a rebuttal to the track-focused Camaro Z/28, introducing the limited-production Mustang GT350R, complete with over 500 horsepower, over 400 pound-feet of torque and freaking carbon-fiber wheels. Carbon-fiber wheels. Seriously. It's because of those 19-inch hoops, along with some other changes, that Ford was able to slice 130 pounds from the already lightweight GT350 Track Pack. The wheels are responsible for a 13-pound reduction in unsprung weight per corner, while the removal of such superfluous things like the air conditioning, stereo, rear seats, trunk carpet, backup camera and tire inflator accounts for the rest of the weight reduction. Along with the lower weight, Ford has thoroughly reworked the GT350's aerodynamics, adding a simply monstrous rear wing and diffuser, along with vented wheel wells, a new hood vent that both extracts heat and reduces lift. Beside the aero aids, Ford has shod the carbon-fiber wheels in ultra-grippy Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, just to guarantee the shiny side remains up. View 21 Photos Ford retained the standard GT350's 5.2-liter, flat-pane V8, Torsen limited-slip differential (complete with a 3.73 rear axle ratio), although as power figures haven't been published for the standard car, there's no way to know whether the GT350R received a power bump. What we do know, though, is that the GT350R will not be limited to the track. While that's certainly its natural habitat, owners will be able to register and drive this monster on public roads. Take a look at the official press release on the GT350R, available below. And also be sure to have a peek at both Ford's stock photos of the new car, as well as our full gallery of live images, direct from the Blue Oval's Detroit Auto Show press conference home at Joe Louis Arena.

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.
