1967 Ford Mustang Eleanor with a removable fastback roof. You will be the "talk of the town" and the center of attention everywhere you go!
Here is your chance to be the second registered owner of this car. The car went through a restoration 5 years ago with a complete motor and transmission rebuild. The floorboards were replaced professionally as well as an upgrade to power four piston disk brakes. The underbody is in excellent condition, and the body had zero rust or bubbles before the Eleanor conversion. The fiberglass kit came from Mustangs to Fear which is the highest quality distributor for aftermarket parts. The paint is a fresh base coat of Pewter Silver with Jet Black Stripes. As you can see from the pics and video the clear coat has been cut and buffed and it shows like glass. The interior, carpet, seat-belts, dash pad, door panels and gauge bezels are new or in great shape. The seats are brand new TMI sport seat II, the appear somewhat stock at first but they offer a superior design and fit your body like a glove. The stereo is a Route 66 with amp Pre-outs and MP3/IPOD/IPHONE hookup. The ash tray has been re-purposed as a docking station for your listening devise. The Amp is a JL ADIO 740 watt with two 10" JL AUDIO subwoofers custom fit into the fender cavity so it does not take much space from trunk storage. The engine and transition were rebuilt 5 years ago but the car was never registered so it doesn't have more than a couple hundred miles on it. We pulled the motor out to do the paint job and replaced most of the hoses to be on the safe side. It is a super strong 289 CID V-8 with many upgrades including a 4 Barrel intake/ Holley Carburetor and larger heads. This car starts at the flick of a key and really moves! Most of the chrome and stainless is new or in very good shape. 17" Polished aluminum Eleanor wheels with new Sumitomo low profile tires.

NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall
Tue, Apr 7 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
Ford bringing production F-150 to Detroit with Atlas styling and Alcoa blast shields
Fri, 27 Dec 2013According to a report in Bloomberg, the 2015 Ford F-150 will indeed be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It will bring attitude with it, not only in the form of sheetmetal inspired by the Atlas concept (pictured) that appeared at the 2013 Detroit show but also in the Alcoa military blast shields among the display being used to showcase the ruggedness of aluminum.
There's been a lot of talk about the F-150 switching to aluminum body panels (although maintaining a steel frame), and for good reason. The lightweight body is expected to shed more than 700 pounds and greatly increase its highway mileage, but production-line issues and possible delays have been a major focus of attention concerning the best-selling vehicle in America for 32 years, meaning Ford has to get it right. F-150 is responsible for a massive portion of the company's global profits and it will come in a year when company profits are already predicted to decline because of new car launches.
When it comes to dings, the Bloomberg story says Ford wants Alcoa to supply some of the military-grade aluminum it uses for blast shields on battlefield vehicles to help it talk up the toughness of aluminum. Reading commentary on the many stories about the F-150 reveals there are many more little questions about the aluminum overhaul, like "How much will it cost to repair and insure?" and "How will companies hang their magnetic signs?" Answers should start coming in a couple of weeks.
2014 Ford Mustang GT
Fri, 17 May 2013I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.
