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 Shelby GT350R, GT successor, F-150 Raptor and more rumored for Detroit debut

Mon, Dec 1 2014

According to a pair of reports from Hearst's car mags, Car and Driver and Road & Track, Ford has a whole mess of good stuff on deck for the Detroit Auto Show in January. And it all sounds awesome. First, expect to see a hotter version of the Shelby GT350 in Detroit, likely called GT350R. Think of this as the already-hot Shelby with even more track-focused bits baked in – brakes, tires, aero, etc. Everything about the GT350 sounds great, so expect this R variant to be something seriously fierce. As R&T suggests, if the GT350 is the company's new Boss 302, the R is the Laguna Seca. But that's not even close to the biggest news. Road & Track believes a proper Ford GT replacement will debut in Detroit Â– a road-going version of the Le Mans GTE-class car the Blue Oval is working on for 2016. We've heard about this before, but having the street-legal car debut in Detroit would be absolutely huge news. The performance story continues, though, with R&T suggesting that the next-gen Ford F-150 Raptor will bow in Detroit. Details are scarce about what, exactly, the aluminum-bodied desert stormer will hold, but we expect good things. Finally, Ford's hot hatches might make some news in the Motor City, too. Car and Driver seems to think the all-wheel-drive Focus RS will bow in The D, and that an updated version of the Fiesta ST will also show its face. Road & Track, meanwhile, believes the Focus RS showing will be saved for a European auto show Â– think Geneva Â– and our gut feeling is to agree with the R&T theory. All of these rumors point to Ford officially announcing its dedicated performance division Â– like Mercedes-AMG, BMW M, and so on. We've heard reports of a new, global performance brand from the company already, with the name 999 thrown out as a possibility. In any case, if these rumblings prove to be true, there's going to be a ton to drool over from Ford in January. Stay tuned.

How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.

Hennessey unleashes 2015 HPE700 supercharged Ford Mustang

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Thanks to the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat there is a new magic number in the muscle car world - 707. To raise eyebrows these days in the power war, a vehicle needs to match or preferably exceed that palindromic figure. The tuners over at Hennessey took a look at it for their 2015 HPE700 Mustang and decided to go one better. Well, ten actually, because they bestowed their latest creation with 717 horsepower and 632 pound-feet of torque.
The HPE 700 Mustang takes the standard Mustang GT with its 5.0-liter V8 and turns up the power a few hundred notches with a Roots-type supercharger running at 7.25 psi. Hennessey claims that this boosted 'Stang can rocket to 60 miles per hour in about 3.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 131 mph. For those keeping score at home, those figures are very similar to Challenger Hellcat.
To cope with all of the added boost, the engine gets a high-flow throttle body, upgraded injectors, new fuel pump, stainless steel exhaust and Hennessey's calibration for the engine management. Pricing for the package is $59,500, including the base 2015 Mustang GT, but the company is limiting production to 500 units for the 2015 model year. Founder John Hennessey told Autoblog that he has already received about a dozen orders for them.
