This is "The Car" for you if you're looking for a ready to ride classic.This was the first year of the LTD as its own car. This one is equipped with every option for '66 except front discs, but they are power. It has power windows and power steering but best of all it has air conditioning THAT STILL WORKS WITH R12! Purchased in February of 1966 from Gwaltney Motors in Smithfield Virginia by a little old lady. Garage kept till the mid 70's when my friend's grandpa bought it. He drove it and maintained it till he was unable to drive. It spent the next 12 years under a carport where I found it. I pulled it out, got it running and went about making it a daily driver again. I found it to be in surprisingly good shape. It passed and has a current VA safety inspection.I have been driving it since June and the A/C kept me comfortable through the hottest Virginia days. It has been an attention getter and a downright pleasure to drive. I lowered it 1.5" and painted the wheels and added chrome lug nuts (I have the OEM hubcaps). I have replaced/repaired the following items; Rebuilt carb(original Holley 4150 4bbl), replaced belts and all water hoses including 11 feet of heater hose, fuel pump, power steering pressure hose, removed radiator and had pressure tested and repaired(had small leak), replaced battery and both cables, replaced alternator, installed radiator overflow bottle, replaced brake booster, master cylinder, all wheel cylinders, brake shoes, rubber hoses(drums were new from 12 yrs ago). Replaced tires with 4 new ones and a new spare tire also(has original bumper jack and lug wrench). Installed new front shocks. Replaced transmission modulator valve. Serviced rear differential and I have changed oil twice(for good measure). The radio stack and cup holder were added by me and are held in by only 3 screws(nothing's butchered). Oem radio does not work but I did not troubleshoot it, could be a simple fix. Doesn't smoke or burn oil. Car is virtually rust free.Floor pans and all lower fenders are free of rust and no evidence of any repairs. Has a little rust in lower corners of doors(no bondo). Car was repainted in the late 70's and had some dents repaired and some repairs around rear glass. Rear glass needs repair again because it leaks at corners onto package tray and ultimatly into the trunk(trunk is SOLID), hadn't been rained on in over 12 years. Right rear quarter had taken a hit below taillight and was buckled and folded over. A friend at a bodyshop pulled the rear bumper and quarter and it's ready for a final smoothing out. I fixed the right front fender and installed a new headlight bezel/trim piece. This fender had been bent and repaired before as evidenced by the body filler that I popped out when straightning the fender. Things that I know it needs are; Fuel gauge doesn't work(I used odometer all summer, gets 13.4 mpg), rear quarter glass have not gone down but do exhibit a current draw when switches are toggled so I feel they are just stuck. A/C, heat and defrost all work but slide control is out of sync with actual modes. Trans pan gasket leaks(tightened bolts,helped some). Front seat has been recovered and split again(OEM cover still in place, see pics) Cancun blanket not included. Needs a u-joint at transmission end of driveshaft, vibrates at 70 mph. I greased it but it has a little play in it. Trunk gasket needs replaced. Dash has a crack in center at speaker hole. |

Ford set to target pre-school market with next F-150 variant
Tue, Jun 17 2014How do you build a strong group of loyalists from the next generation of American drivers? You start em' young. Ford has taken that lesson to heart, as we can see in the first batch of images of the company's new entry to the pre-school market, the Power Wheels F-150. This particular example was caught returning from testing around Ford's base of operations in Dearborn, MI – covered in tiny little bits of camouflage, too. Now, this could very well end up being a collaboration between Power Wheels and Ford. Then again, it could just be some bored engineers that decided to troll the local congregation of spy photographers, who earlier today captured images of the next Focus RS and SVT Mustang. Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cool. Take a look up top for images of the new Power Wheels F-150.
Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Mon, 10 Feb 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper.
For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011.
The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible ships in time for holiday gift giving
Wed, Dec 10 2014Looking for the ultimate present to put under the tree for that special someone? Well it might not fit in your living room or in a stocking, but the keys to a new Mustang convertible ought to do the trick. That's right, Ford has begun shipping the new drop-top pony car just in time for the holidays. Taking delivery of a convertible might not make the most sense in some climates, but those in southern states will undoubtedly enjoy the top-down experience to ring in the new year. And for those stuck in snowier climes, Ford is keen to point out that the new Mustang convertible is available with features like heated seats, remote start and a snow/wet setting among the selectable drive modes. As with the coupe, the new Mustang convertible can be had with the base 3.7-liter V6, the optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo four or the top-of-the-line 5.0-liter V8. For the time being, though, the 500+ horsepower Shelby GT350 is available only in coupe form.

"Cold weather may have come unseasonably early this year, but with available heated seats, remote start and selectable drive modes with a snow/wet setting, Mustang is the perfect offering for the season," said Melanie Banker, Mustang brand manager. Heated seats, standard on all premium Mustang convertibles, allow the driver and front passenger to stay warm even when the temperature drops. "While these seats also have a cooling feature, we suspect customers won't be using this function for a few more months," said Banker. Remote start, standard on all automatic-transmission Mustang models, allows customers to fire up their drop-top from the comfort of their home, even in inclement weather conditions. When remote start is used, Mustang not only warms up its engine, it also warms the interior of the car to a comfortable temperature.
