This car is a reliable driving car that needs some tinkering that is all pretty easy small repairs

The Mechanical things that need attention
-the brakes are really grabby,unless you pump them a little first.Pretty darn sure this is an air bubble and the brakes need to be bleed.
-the carb has a bit of run on ,it is running rich and just needs some fine tuning I beilieve(thus the car failed air care in B.C.)
-the fuel gauge doesn't work
-the horn works but is wired off the dash
-the dip stick on the transmission is broken and there is a bit of a leak at the pan,just needs a new gasket.May need linkage adjusted ,needs to warm up before going into drive,once it is warmed up in the morning,it's good for the day
-the wiper switch is touchy,(I have a spare)

the mechanical that has been replaced in the last year
-new brakes,rotors and drums
-new shocks
-new carb
-new tires
-steering box
-battery
-all the turn signals and lights work
-the car was bought in Washigton and safety inspected when brought into BC.It is a relatively simple process to import a car into the US 
-previous owner told me he put a rebuilt 392 in,I have no way of verify this however a compression test was done six months ago and it came out with perfect compression
-the vin tag says 352,I can't say this is original motor or not.I am pretty sure it has been rebuilt 
interior
-overall quite nice cloth seats quite obviously redone in the last few years
-the seats and are nice no rips no tears
-the dash was replaced,no cracks
-the drivers seat has a bit of sag like an old but its a detail
-the door panels are straight,no wrinkles(the knob to a window roller is missing)
-the headliner is nice,a small tear \i have tried to capture in pictures
overall a very nice interior 

the body
-there is no trim on the car but I have a trunk full of it.The best I can tell is one of the four  pieces of stainless around the back window is missing and some of the ford letters,the rest seems to be all there but I cannot say for sure
-the paint is a home job and needs to be redone.It has nicks and scrapes. 
-the floors are solid no holes
-the frame has no rust
-the trunk is solid,no holes but there has been some fiberglass repair done on the back panel
-there is no rust hols in the body,some surface rust here and there,I am sure there has been fiberglass and Bondo here and there
-there has been a bit of a crunch(ie back into a pole at low speed in a parking lot)oops.The back bumper has been pulled out and is straight,however there is a but of repair needed,it was not a high speed accident
 So in short this is a good running car,I have driven and would drive it on the highway just about anywhere you would drive a 45 year old car.I used it as a daily driver and it was alwasys  stellar .I have been using this as daily driver and due to impending move I have to thin down my collection.I encourage you to check out the car or if you have any questions please call me at 778 229 5357

Bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta hams it up for International Bacon Day

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

This is a bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta. It is a real thing, that a real, multi-billion-dollar company designed. And it isn't even April Fools' Day. Designed for International Bacon Day, which is also apparently a thing, the 2014 Fiesta is finished in Green Envy paint - we're told black paint, like the color of a skillet, made the car look camouflaged - and features 10 gigantic decals depicting strips of tender, cured bacon.
The design, which was approved by the CEO of Benton's Country Hams, Allan Benton, show off the depth of Ford's Custom Graphics program. Unbelievably, Ford will actually start offering bacon decals to everyday customers, including (and we can't believe we're writing this) dual bacon racing stripes which will no doubt have Carroll Shelby spinning and/or salivating in his grave, and a "side of bacon," which wraps a couple of strips over the rear wheels.
Benton, who Ford claims is the King of Bacon, had this to say: "This car just makes so much sense." The Fiesta's marketing manager, Liz Elser added, "It's just awesome to drive down the road in a piece of bacon."

All 25 James Bond movies ranked only by their cars

Mon, Sep 13 2021

There is no shortage of lists ranking the best James Bond movies. Ditto lists about the best or worst James Bond cars. I know, I've written some of them. As such, why not combine the two ideas into one new list that ranks all 25 official James Bond movies based exclusively on their cars, or more accurately their car content. I would then pull from my 25 years of James Bond nerddom plus the excellent "Bond Cars: The Definitive History" and our interview with long-time Bond special effects supervisor Chris Corbould to provide tidbits and factoids about the cars and their roles in the movies. And yes(!), this list now includes "No Time to Die," which impresses by adding plenty of car content to the series. It's now available on Blu-ray and download. To determine the list, I considered the inherent coolness of the cars as well as their importance to Bond, film and car history. I considered their importance to the story as well as the quality/excitement of the chases and scenes they participated in. Finally, I tried my best to divorce the car content from my opinions about the movies in general. That my personal list of best James movies looks nothing like this shows I was at least partially successful.     25. 'Moonraker' There are virtually no cars in "Moonraker." None. Oh, there's a gondola on wheels that makes a pigeon do a double-take, but that's not the same thing as a car. Neither is a golf cart. Or an ambulance. Or a space shuttle.   24. 'From Russia With Love' The literary James Bond mostly drove an ancient Bentley, and "From Russia with Love" is the only film in which it appears. It stays parked and the coolest thing that happens (by 1962 standards) is 007 answers its car phone. Thereafter, we get some old cars (even by 1962 standards) driving around Istanbul and a yellow truck. So yeah. Classic Bond film, a must-watch, just not for its car content.   23. 'Dr. No' History records that the first "Bond car" is the Sunbeam Alpine in "Dr. No." The car itself was literally borrowed from a Miss Jennifer Jackson of 53 Lady Musgrave Road in Jamaica for 10 pounds per day for two days during filming. Also, the stunt where it drove under an excavator blocking the road was entirely conceived because the filmmakers showed up to the road they intended to film on and discovered an excavator blocking the thing. Sadly, those are really the only two things interesting about the Alpine, which is a pretty small and dainty thing by Bond car standards.

New Ford dedicated hybrid due in 2018, will it fare better than C-Max?

Fri, Aug 22 2014

Everyone likes to go after the champ. When it comes to fuel economy, that means taking on the Prius, which is something that automakers not named Toyota have been trying to do for years. Just because no one has been able to beat the Prius for fuel economy numbers isn't stopping them from trying. Hyundai was just caught with a potential Prius-fighter and now we have news that Ford is joining the party. Well, is going to join again. The last time Ford said it was going to challenge the Prius, it didn't go quite as planned. The C-Max hybrid was heavily hyped as a Prius-beater and was originally rated at 47 miles per gallon. Of course, it later needed to be recalculated to just 40 mpg and sales tanked. So, it's back to the Blue Oval drawing board, according to Automotive News, which is reporting that Ford is readying a brand new gas-electric hybrid due in 2018 as a 2019 model year vehicle. A plug-in version is in the works, too, and the car will reportedly share a platform with the upcoming next-gen Focus and Escape models. About those C-Max sales. They have not been stellar for the C-Max hybrid, which started strong but suffered when the reality of the lower fuel economy was realized. So far in 2014 (through the end of July), Ford has sold 11,685 gas-electric models and another 4,759 plug-in Energi versions. The trend for the standard C-Max is downward (from 20,125 during the same time frame in 2013) and upward for the plug-in version (2,915 in the first seven months of 2013).
