I am listing this car for a relative so please contact him at 502-409 -3479 with any questions. His name is Daniel. I personally do not know very much regarding this car. The following is the information he gave to me...... "This car needs a complete restoration. It hasn't run in years but is very solid, very complete and very restorable. I have started the motor with a gravity feed and let it run just long enough to know that it does run. The gas in the tank is old/bad and needs to be removed and the tank flushed. The car has very minimal rust. The battery tray is the worst......it needs to be replaced. The floors appear to be solid except for one spot about the size of a baseball in the passenger front. The frame rails and torque boxes seem to be solid. The trunk and rocker panels are very solid with no visible rust. This car is complete and has lots of options. I have received the Marti report for this car and it shows the options as: Black Vinyl Roof; GT Equipment Group; C-6 Select Shift Cruise-O-Matic; F70X14 White Sidewall Nylon Wide Oval Tires; Console; Power Disc Brakes; Power Steering; AM Radio; Tinted Glass; In-Dash Tachometer & Trip Odometer. The back seat and passenger front seat are very nice. The driver's seat has a rip in the back rest. Car originally came with a 4 barrel carburetor but now has a 2 barrel.The story is that a father bought this car (used) for his daughter and swapped the carb and manifold for her safety. I do not have the original 4 barrel carb & manifold. I was told by the previous owner that the motor is supposed to be the original but I can't guarantee this to be a fact........I could not find a serial number on the block. This car is very complete and solid and is an excellent candidate for restoration. If you live close by or can send a rep, I encourage you to inspect the car in person.......you will not be disappointed. Car is located in Taylorsville KY (30 miles east of Louisville). Again, my name is Daniel and I will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Cell number is 502-409-3479. Thanks for looking." |

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.
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.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
