Up for auction is this very nice 2 door sedan. This car is my current driving toy, so the miles stated will go up slightly until auctions end. The car has a solid body with no rust or dens with no patch panels or bondo present. It does have a few scratches here & there, but nothing major. It has a new vinyl top. The engine was rebuilt 10 years ago. There have not been many miles since the rebuild. The engine starts easily each time, idles good & smooth and does not puff smoke - even during start up. The spark advance & throttle levers both work as they should. The car has 4 new 19" firestones that were just put on. The "wide whites" look very sharp against the red wheels and black body. THe rims are painted and in nice shape. The brakes are new and adjusted good. The car stops amazingly well. The glass is all good with the only crack in the passenger's rear window. The windows roll up & down good. THe doors shut nice. The interior is new including the headliner, door panels, seats and kick panels. It looks very nice when you look i nside the car. The guages work, along with the headlights & taillights. Blow the 'aoogha' horn and watch them smile. People really appreciate seeing these old cars out driving around. So, there you have it, a great starting, running, safe with good brakes, good handling car. This could be the one for you. There are no known issues with this car. You can drive it as soon as you recieve it with no worries. I've been driving this car 3-4 times a week and has not acted up in any way. It is a very dependable, excellent driver and is very 'tight' without any rattling or squeaking anywhere. It does have a hitch on the back for pulling a trailor. You could remove the hitch if you don't like the looks of it. Don't miss out on this fairly priced Model A at $8200.00 buy it now. Please email for phone number to discuss this car. If you have any questions or concerns please please ask early and before the end of the auction. I am always happy to discuss this car and old cars in general. Bid with confidence. This car would be excellent for parades and advertising. I have just changed the oil too. It will come with new rain gutters which will need to be screwed on above the doors.

Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.
Ford won't be releasing GT500 lap times for the 'Ring, or any other car
Wed, 27 Nov 2013Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars - a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo - and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring with its ultra-powerful Shelby GT500.
After posting a Ford-made video of a 2013 GT500 running around the 'Ring, the guys over at SVTPerformance.com (an enthusiasts forum not affiliated with Ford or SVT) wanted more answers. They got in touch with Ford's Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi, who said until there is a way to verify the times and inspect the cars, Ford will not get involved with lap-time wars. In the email, Hameedi pointed out that the 'Ring is a useful tool in that it allows a wide spectrum of track conditions, but until there is a governed way to record times, there is no way to accurately compare cars head-to-head.
And as much as some may not like it, Hameedi speaks the truth. It really isn't possible to compare times from one car to another, unless those cars were lapping the same track at the same time with the same driver. Not that any of this means there won't be continuous wars by fans and manufacturers alike... in other words, feel free to voice your opinions in the Comments below.
Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.
