This car was born in california, raised in Vegas and brought to Michigan for restoration. Being a solid Western car, we chose to go over board and make it better than new.. In doing so, we had some minor modifications made to the body and interior. These modifications were designed to make it a show car, with best of show ability. This has paid off well, with best of show wins and many trophy's, including Good Guys. The minor modifications are as follows.

The brite work was replated with cu., ni, ch., and the aluminum was re anodised. All the stainless trim was removed and restored and polished as new.

The body was striped and blocked to remove factory imperfections.

The paint is base clear, Guards Red, that was color sanded and polished to a mirror finish.

The car was lowered 3'' and fitted with rear air shocks to be used when required. This did not effect the smooth ride.

The wheels were changed from 14" to 15" chrome smoothies and dressed with radial white wall tires. That improved the ride and handeling.

The hood and doors were shaved, with keyless enrty for the drivers door, controled by the key fob.

The lake pipes are decrotive and are not connected.

The interior was done in briliant pearl white, which refects the heat so well, that it is comfortable in the hot sun.

The convertible top is white and has recently recieved a new top motor and lines, to make it perform like new.

The engine came with the car, I don't think it's original, but is period correct and was rebuilt about 4000 miles ago.The engine was fitted with petronics and a new 4V.

The transmission is a standard shift three speed , with over drive, which makes it comfortable as a interstate cruiser.

The dual exhaust has glass pacs along the exhaust extensions, I which I call echo cans and are 3 1/2" X 18" and produce a low pleasant tone.

We have had a lot of fun with this car and it's the best in the collection, but age has crept up on us, so it's time for it to find a new home. Having sold are other cars, we have found that the new owners have become friends and hope this is the same with the Sunliner. We will continue to attend shows, but it will be with our 49 Merc, which is where it all started.

Thanks for looking

PS: The car has been driven to local shows, but yes, it's a trailer queen for the out of town shows.

TX officer allegedly lets 140-mph street racer go with a warning [w/poll]

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Being pulled over by the police is one of the most nerve-racking situations that a driver can go through, and it's even worse when you know that the officer has you dead to rights for speeding well over the posted limit. In this video, the driver of a heavily modified Ford Mustang with a claimed 966 horsepower at the rear wheels could have easily lost his ride for doing triple-digit speeds and street racing, but a friendly Texas police officer appears to send him on his way with a simple warning.
What's more, the driver in question wasn't just speeding - his Mustang was the camera car for a bunch of rolling street races in the wee hours of the morning on a Texas highway. The driver was more than willing to mix it up in the action, too. Eventually the cops catch on and pick the 'Stang to pull over, but not before the Ford owner runs a claimed 140 mph. With only audio to go on after the car is pulled over, the police officer seems incredibly nonchalant about catching someone who was so brazenly breaking the law. Incredibly, the patrolman actually tells the driver that he's seen everyone racing tonight but ignored them. With traffic picking up, the cop says that it's time to "cut it out" and go home for the night. As far as this video shows, that was the end of it.
Warning: There is explicit, not-safe-for-work language in the video below.

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses

Wed, 25 Jul 2012

Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.

J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
