1969 Ford XL Fastback (Sportroof), 390 "Y" code original motor, original 3 speed FMX auto transmission, driveline, and rear end. 74k Original Box "A" actual miles!!!

This XL is gorgeous inside and out!  The car was assembled in Atlanta, GA. and spent most of its past 45 years with its second owner in Indiana.  I purchased the car 4 months ago when the previous owner moved from Indiana here to Arizona.  The previous owner was a car enthusiast like myself, and kept this car in a climate controlled garage its entire life.  He started restoration on the XL, and had put a new period correct Candy Apple Red paint job on the car that looks amazing, which is the cars first repaint - the original color of the car was Champagne Gold.  He also had the A/C compressor rebuilt, added brand new brakes, wheels and tires, Holley 4 barrel Double Pumper 850cfm carburetor, and aftermarket carpet in the interior. 

Over the past four months, I have completed most of the restoration on the car, including having a new headliner and sail panels professionally installed, package shelf reupholstered, new rear speakers installed, original door panels dyed to match the interior, re-freshed the under chassis with new paint, refreshed the motor and motor compartment with new paint, rebuilt the carburetor, replaced the valve covers with period correct Mickey Thompson's with new gaskets, replaced all vaccum lines, restored the grille area, repainted the trunk with correct spatter paint finish, added a new dash cap, had the original factory AM/FM radio rebuilt and installed, new belts, fluids, filters, aftermarket Ford Air Cleaner, shocks front and rear, the list goes on.

This car just passed Arizona's strict Emissions, and has been professionally tuned.  I have owned over 21 classic cars in my time, and this XL by far starts, runs, drives, handles, stops, and turns better than any I've owned.  The car runs better than it did when new, and needs nothing mechanically.  This car could be driven anywhere with confidence, very solid and reliable, motor runs cool, and smooth, and the original FMX auto transmission shifts smoothly, and is tight as it should be. 

Included in the purchase of this XL is the original owners manual with documentation of ownership, and maintenance, Two original build sheets, verifying all components are original and match (Motor, Transmission, Driveshaft, and Rear End), as well as the original keys.  Also included is a transferrable warranty for the newer wheels and tires. 

Although this car is extremely clean, and I'm sure will not disappoint, it does have its small flaws.  I have listed them as follows:

- This is a factory A/C car, and I have all components needed to hook it up, however I haven't done so yet.  All A/C parts will be included with the sale of the car, ready to put back on the car by the new owner.

- There is one very small ding at the bottom of the drivers side door, paint isn't cracked in this area, but there is a small ding about the size of a pencil eraser in circumference. Rest of the car is lazer straight with NO RUST ISSUES.

- Rear seat is original, and in great shape, however the front seats are buckets from a same year Torino that look great, however not the original bench seat as the car came with.  **All seats are in great shape, but the front buckets have a couple small areas where the vinyl is starting to crack by the side outer top as you might notice in the pictures.  Seats are still very presentable and structurally sound.

- there are two small paint chips that I have repaired with paint touch up, one is on the passenger side of the hood on the very far corner, and the other is on the drivers side of the hood far corner.  The previous owner hadn't aligned the hood back up correctly after paint when he tried to shut it and created the two small chips.....they are very minimal and not a big deal, but again I want the potential buyer to know everything!

- Factory Clock works when it wants to, some days it will work, others it will not, not sure why this is.  Other than this EVERYTHING on this car works, including the cig lighter, turn signals, hazards, Factory AM/FM radio, windshield wipers, dome lights, etc.

- Center console is custom made from my upholsterer, but isn't original, looks great, and flows very well with the interior.

- Hide away headlights work properly, however after the car is parked / turned off for more than 30 minutes, the headlamp doors slowly rise back up in full open position instead of staying down like they should.  This is a simple fix as its just a slow vaccum line leak somewhere that I haven't had the time to track down.

- Door panels are original, but have been re-dyed professionally.  All door panels are in great shape, the drivers door panel however had a small tear patched before we dyed them which you can see in the picture. Still looks presentable, but if I had the choice I would have it redone, or replaced. 

- All chrome on the car is original, and has some small pitting in areas showing its age, but overall shows well, is still bright, shiny, and straight.

Other than the items listed above, this car is very clean, and a well done example of an XL, buyer will not be disappointed!  If you have any questions about the car, please feel free to contact me directly at (602)799-2309.  I want to be as upfront and honest as possible, and make sure the future owner of this beautiful car is fully satisfied and aware of everything.

Black Zombie electric Mustang launches Blood Shed Motors [w/videos]

Thu, Jun 19 2014

As patient zero of Blood Shed Motors, the classic pony car has received a powerful electric transplant. Lightning repeatedly vanquished the darkness like the angriest of strobe lights and thunder shook the building, punctuating the clatter of a heavy Texas rain on the metal roof as the clock ticked away the initial seconds of a rare full moon Friday the 13th. It was then that the Black Zombie came to life for the first time. Beneath the hood of this rust-free 1968 Mustang fastback, a 289-cubic-inch V8 no longer turns gasoline into heat, noise and pollution. As patient zero of Blood Shed Motors, the classic pony car has received a powerful electric transplant, and now boasts twinned Warp 11 DC motors and a pair of fresh Zilla controllers that will serve as the basic blueprint for future vehicles. Dubbed the Zombie 222 drivetrain, the setup will be limited to 750 horsepower in customer's cars to keep the maintenance experience low, and eventually will draw power from a 40-kWh battery pack. In this first example, though, the output is bit more extreme. For one day, at least, they have the 1,500-kW-capable pack that powers the record-setting Swamp Rat 37 racer belonging to Don Garlits and a brief window of opportunity to try it out on a track. Blood Shed Motors is the result of a collaboration between NEDRA co-founder John "Plasma Boy" Wayland, the man who helped bring electric vehicle drag racing to the attention of the world with his unassuming White Zombie Datsun 1200 conversion and Austin, TX business man Mitch Medford, who've put together a small team of experts in their chosen fields. The plan is to build a limited number of muscle car conversions on pristine early Mustang, Camaro, and Barracuda platforms. The plan is to build a limited number of high-quality muscle car conversions on pristine (No restored rust buckets!) early Mustang, Camaro, and Barracuda platforms. Each can be customized according to buyer's wishes and blessed with its own serial number. The price tags will be in the eye-watering $200,000-and-up neighborhood, reflective of the cost and rarity of these cars and the custom nature of the alterations. Of course, you can't just multiply horsepower and add the monster torque that these electric motors put out and expect an antique chassis to hold up.

Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.

2015 Ford F-150 spied in the rain

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Standing as quite a contrast from the spy shots of the 2015 Ford Mustang we saw earlier today, our spies also sent along these pictures of the next-generation F-150 pickup out testing in its (heavily camouflaged) full prototype body. Much of the new truck's design is hidden under the bulky coveralls, but we expect a lot of its new lines to be inspired by the Atlas concept that debuted at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Perhaps the biggest unknown surrounding the new F-150 is what, exactly, its body will be made of. Earlier reports have suggested that lightweight aluminum materials may be used throughout, offering a serious reduction in weight versus previous models. But Ford engineers will need to be careful, though, as they need to keep a tight rein on costs while preserving class-competitive (if not class-leading) towing and payload capacity.
On the powertrain front, the new F-150 will undoubtedly carry on with EcoBoost engines, and we'd bet on a normally aspirated V8 as well. A diesel option hasn't been confirmed, but we wouldn't be surprised to see one some time in the truck's lifecycle. Mum's the word on when the production F-150 will be revealed, but our best guess is that we'll see it at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
