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. |

2015 Ford Mustang prototype spotted on the street
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Our trusty spy photographers have snapped the first photos of the 2015 Ford Mustang prototype out on public streets. With nearly every square inch of the machine covered in heavy camouflage, it's difficult to discern details, but we can see smallish horizontal headlamps at work in the coupe's nose. Ford has made it clear that modern lighting technology will allow the company to get away from large, expensive headlamp arrays in the near future, and the 2015 Mustang may very well be the first of the automaker's products to bow with the new tech. The philosophy was first displayed on the very attractive Evos Concept.
The extensive cladding doesn't extend all the way to the prototype's rockers in the instance, giving us a look at the heavily-sculpted sills. Overall, this test car looks considerably smaller than the current generation Mustang, and elements like a short front overhang and beefy dual-piston calipers give us plenty of hope for the future model. Of course, reports that the 2015 Mustang will bow with an independent rear suspension and EcoBoost power certainly don't hurt our feelings, either.
Watch Piquet and Mansell bend some sheetmetal in Ford Fusion GP
Tue, 12 Feb 2013As we told you about before, there were four episodes planned for the Ford Fusion GP campaign in Brazil, and the whole series has now run its course. The Ford ads pit Brazilian Formula One driver Nelson Piquet against English F1 pilot Nigel Mansell driving the new Fusion, the two coming together again after their partnership at the Williams F1 team ended in a miserable state more than 20 years ago.
They're lined up for you below, in reverse chronological order. You should watch number three first, though, as it adds a bit more spice to the NASCAR action in the fourth.
Ford pits The Stig against Gran Turismo 6 in Focus ST Goodwood run
Thu, 03 Jul 2014The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the world great automotive gatherings. So, it was the perfect event for Ford to give the refreshed 2015 Focus ST its world debut in front of a loving public. It even surprised us with a new diesel-powered version, as well.
The Blue Oval really put its focus on making the ST a better driver for this refresh. It left its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alone to still pump out a respectable 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The changes like a retuned front suspension, electric power steering and improved interior made the hot hatch an even better place to spend time behind the wheel.
To prove that the Focus ST is still as potent as ever, Ford set up a one-on-one race up the Goodwood Hill. But instead of putting the two cars side-by-side, former Stig from Top Gear UK, Ben Collins, piloted the real model up the course, and his rival drove the virtual version in Gran Turismo 6. The two hot hatches set off at the same time to see whether reality could beat the virtual world, and the finish was actually extremely close. Scroll down to watch the video and find out the winner of this battle at Goodwood.
