The 1971 Ford LTD Convertible Coupe was the first of its kind for the legendary automobile manufacturer, and one of the last as well. This was one of 5,750 LTD Convertibles made in 1971. This incredibly spacious car is a true luxury ride, with plenty of room for those of us of generous dimensions, even in the back seat. It is designed for 6 passengers, seat belts for all. I have owned and enjoyed this car since 1988 and drove it daily until the fall of 1998. At that time, I decided to have the engine rebuilt and have it painted and the top replaced. Since that time, I have gone through the brakes, fuel tank, replaced the radiator, had bumpers re-chromed and did my best to make it a great car ready to drive anywhere. It is a real eye-catcher wherever you go. This car has been freshly painted and has no rust. The engine has been completely rebuilt with new pistons, cam, lifters, timing components, and bearings. The brakes have been completely upgraded including new calipers, pads, hardware, rear shoes, rear wheel cylinders and new brake hardware. The radiator is new, as are the water pump and fuel pump. All tune up parts are new. The fuel tank has been replaced with a new one. The wheels and tires are new, 15” Cragar SS wheels. I still have the original wheel covers in excellent condition. The LTD has a new top and new carpet that matches the original. I also have a second new top in the box and a new carpet also in the box. The bumpers have both been re-chromed and are in perfect condition. The engine and transmission are original to the car. The 400 CID with the C6 transmission are ready to go. The NADA retail for this car is $15,942.00 Full-size Fords were totally restyled for 1971. The look begins with a prominent vertical grille theme evolved from 1969-1970 LTDs and XLs. Headlamps are exposed, but set in deep cavities that flanked the central grille. The trailing edge of the domed hood conceals the windshield wipers. On the sides, a pair of creases bulges out from the far ends of the car, then fade again toward the middle. A large inset cove under the trunk lid holds the taillights, which are a three-section design on LTDs and Broughams. Inside, there is a new, flatter instrument panel. The instrument panel was newer and flatter than in previous models. A power ventilation system was newly standard. Growing concerns about vehicle safety were addressed by steel "Guard Rails" now built inside each door. LTD standard equipment includes power front disc brakes, a self-regulating clock, and wood grain interior appliques. The convertible added vinyl upholstery and a five-ply vinyl power top (in a choice of white or black) with a tempered glass rear window. Soft-top prices began at $4,094.Vinyl interior was one of the LTD's standard options. Power comes from a 260-bhp 400 V-8 with a two-barrel carburetor. Other accessories include power steering, power front seat, AM/FM stereo, air conditioning, and deluxe wheel covers.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
Ford Figo concept unveiled in India
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Ford has officially unveiled the Figo Concept at the 2014 Auto Expo in New Delhi. While it may wear a concept badge, we'd argue this little sedan, which is under 12 feet long, looks ready to replace the current Figo and do battle with other B-segment cars in the world's emerging markets.
"With the Figo Concept, we are showing that choosing a compact sedan does not mean compromising on premium design or smart solutions," said Kumar Galhotra, Ford's VP of engineering, global product development. That premium design includes Ford's familial, trapezoidal grille and Fusion-esque headlights in front, while the rear end reminds us of the last-generation Focus Coupe. While that car wasn't exactly attractive, the chopped off tail looks pretty nice on this smaller car. And if you really don't like the looks of the Figo Concept, just remember - it looks better than the current production model. Aerodynamically, the Figo's shape is quite slippery, which means reduced wind noise and improved fuel economy.
As for the "smart solutions" touted by Galhotra, the narrow confines of Indian streets make driving even the tiniest cars a challenge. To give the Figo Concept a one-up on the competition, Ford has fitted power-folding mirrors that sport a "flexible architecture," which should stand up well to bumps from cars, people or bikes. We don't have any interior images, but Ford is promising a large cabin, that includes a dock that can accommodate a phone or MP3 player, allowing either to be controlled through the car.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
