Look up "muscle car" in the dictionary and you're almost guaranteed to find the car that changed the game, a
Mustang Fastback. While the individual tenants of American performance could be found in earlier cars, Ford took it
to a new level in the mid 60s putting them all together in one sinister package equally capable of a quarter-mile
blast or a comfortable trip to the grocery store in a light weight performance driven car. This 1967 underwent a
complete restoration in the mid 2000s. This car is owned by an avid car collector and has been driven regularly.
Make no mistake it is no show queen, but a daily driver that shows well.
Sinister, tough, and attractive, this Fastback perfectly defines Ford’s lasting legacy of creating sophistication
with raw aggression. The front of the car is dominated by trademark, blackend grille that are anchored between
single headlights, chrome-finish front bumper. At the sides of that broad hood, the start of the chiseled
sidelines begin as the fenders
Lift the hood to find the Fastback powered in the form of a 390 V8. The carb linkage swivels like it's lined with
silk, and the engine pulls the car with real authority. Of course, the entire engine bay has been restored with the
original ford blue on the block. Air conditioning, Simply put, lift the engine's hood at any car show and you're
sure to have a huge crowd around your car in no time.
Underneath the Fastback is just as impressive as the rest of the build. The stout 390 sends power to an automatic
transmission that then sends the power to the ground. Spent gasses travel out the rock solid drive train through
true dual exhausts that exit out the just below the rear of the car to create a fantastic American muscle sound. At
the sides of that booming soundtrack, is complete with big disc brakes. At the corners of that suspension, a set or
17” American racing rims wrapped in sport tires.
Open the doors and you'll be greeted by a stylish interior that is a fantastic blend of style and simplicity. On
the seats you'll see the stylish pattern and the symmetry of the seats in this car is the result of careful fitting
and lots of extra time spent during final assembly. On the floor, newer carpet, along with floor mats. At the sides
of the car, nice door panels hang chrome handles. In front of the driver, a steering wheel spins a wood rim around
a chrome horn button. The car has been treated to a classic style radio that has ipod capabilities, along with JL
speakers, amp and subwoofer.
This fun, 1967 Mustang Fastback is a car that packs unbeatable performance in a highly desirable wrapper. It's the
kind of car that'll be a pleasure to own for years to come. If you've been patiently waiting for the opportunity to
pick up a classic example of a muscle car, here's your chance!

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
Ford rolls out diesel Focus ST at Goodwood [w/poll]
Sun, 29 Jun 2014If you're in the market for a hot hatch, there are some excellent choices at your disposal - especially if you live in Europe. But if you want a diesel, well, your choices become rather more limited. Volkswagen tends to that niche market with the Golf GTD (essentially an oil-burning version of the GTI available Stateside), but that's about the extent of it. The pleas of those looking for more diesel-burning hot hatch choices haven't fallen on deaf ears at Ford, with the Blue Oval not only rolling out a facelifted gas-powered Focus ST at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, but also a new diesel version as well.
The diesel Focus ST (which we hope and pray isn't marketed as the STD) packs a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four producing 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to propel the oil-burning hot hatch to 62 in 8.1 seconds en route to a top speed of 135 miles per hour. With less power and only slightly more torque, that makes the diesel Focus ST considerably slower than the gasoline one, which packs 252 hp and 270 lb-ft, runs to 62 in 6.5 seconds and tops out at 154 mph, but (in a testament to how far particulate filters have come) the diesel model cuts carbon emissions by nearly a third compared to the petrol version and returns about 50-percent better fuel economy, which makes that much more of a difference in markets where diesel is already priced better than gasoline at the pump.
For buyers who wouldn't consider anything other than a diesel, it also represents 23-percent more power than the previous top-level diesel Focus. The VW Golf GTD, for reference, offers up 181 hp (just 1 horse less), 280 lb-ft (15 fewer torques) but is somehow estimated to reach 60 in a considerably fleeter 7.4 seconds.
Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
