For sale is my nice 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback.  As you can see from the photos it has a Boss 429 appearance to it that always draws lots of positive comments.  

Body: The body is 100% original Ford metal.  There has been no rust repair.  The lower front valance was replaced with a NOS piece by the previous owner, other than that, it looks to be all factory metal.  There is no rust in the doors, floors, quarters, or any of those typical rust areas on these cars.  Since this is an unmolested body, the car drives very solid.  Door gaps are all nice, just a solid car.

Suspension: I have replaced the front springs and shocks with factory replacement units from Eaton Detroit Springs specific for a 1970 Mach 1 with a 351C.  I feel this car has a balanced ride, not too soft, yet not too hard and aggressive.

Steering: The steering linkage is tight, the car does not wander going down the road or the interstate.

Wheels and Tires: Brand new 15x8 Magnum 500s and BFGoodrich Tires, same size all the way around for a nice aggressive stance.

Engine: 351C 4V with an Offenhauser aluminum intake and Hooker headers.  This is the best starting muscle car I have ever owned.  Turn the key and it fires, very dependable.  The engine runs strong but I would classify it as a mild street performance build by the previous owner.  Good oil pressure.  I have always used 100% synthetic Valvoline oil and Wix filters from CarQuest with good results.  It does not run hot but there is an auxiliary electric fan that you can turn on and off from inside the car should you feel it necessary.  I have not needed to use it.  There is a new one wire PowerMaster alternator on the car.  It puts out over 110 amps so it can easily power anything you want to add to the car within reason.  Flowmaster mufflers are under the car but they are not loud and obnoxious.

Transmission: T5 Ford 5 speed with cable clutch linkage.  New flywheel, clutch disc, and throw out bearing.  First gear is perfect for getting around a parking lot or show field without having to finesse the clutch.  Of course, 5th gear is perfect out on the interstate to keep the revs down and your gas mileage up.  This car was built to be a driver, and a good one at that.  Very pleasurable to drive.  I would recommend replacing the rear tail shaft seal as it does leak.

Interior: The seats were recovered by the previous owner and I have to admit that they are very, very nice.  Super comfortable to sit in.  The dash pad is in good shape.  I installed the restored rim blow steering wheel (expensive) and I think it is of show quality.  It does have the deluxe interior woodgrain gauge cluster with the clock delete passenger side panel.  This creates a nice appearance in my opinion.  The Philco AM radio is in the car and it has a new speaker under the dash.  The radio worked last summer but it did not want to play this summer.  It has received new carpet and underlayment.

Extra Parts: There are some extra parts that I have accumulated over the years that will go with this car.  Most notable is a lower metal A/C dash unit.  I kept it in case I ever wanted to add A/C but yet keep the factory look for the interior.  There is a car cover that will go with the car.

I'm not trying to brag, but I have been very fortunate in that in the past I have been able to own a '69 Mach 1, 2 428CJ 1970 Mach 1s, and 3 Boss 302s.  I am 100% honest when I say I have had more enjoyment driving this Fastback that I did out of any of the previous high dollar cars.  I think you can tell from my description that this car is a nice driver that you can take to any show or cruise in, but it is not going to take the trophy away from any concourse restoration.  Unfortunately a move out of state forces the sale.

The car is available for inspection with an appointment.  $500 deposit thru PayPal due within 3 days of close of the auction.  Balance due as cash at time of pick up or wire transfer before car is picked up.  Feel free to email me with any questions.  If you would like to speak on the phone, please give me your phone number and I will give you a call.  Thank you.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

Autoblog's June 2019 Editors' Picks

Wed, Jul 10 2019

Each year we review, test and rate hundreds of brand-new cars, trucks and SUVs. We rate these vehicles using the Autoblog score, giving a select few our Editors’ Pick. Here are the best cars we drove in June 2019. 2019 BMW 8 Series Everyone on the Autoblog staff loves a good grand tourer, so we were excited to get behind the wheel of the revived BMW 8 Series, specifically an M850i Coupe. A good GT needs to be as fast as it is stylish and comfortable, and the new 8 Series delivers. We particularly like the 523-horsepower twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8Â’s copious power and smooth ride quality, even on MichiganÂ’s pockmarked post-winter roads. We dig the interior design, too, though not everyone was in love with the exterior. ItÂ’s not the best-handling car in its class, and doesnÂ’t hide its sizable proportions very well, but itÂ’s still worth a look if youÂ’re looking for a big, fast cruiser.  2019 Ford Expedition Crossovers may be the hottest vehicles on the market, but thereÂ’s still a sizable demand for traditional body-on-frame SUVs like the Ford Expedition. These behemoths offer plenty of space in addition to truck-like capability. We like the Expedition's smooth ride, powerful twin-turbo V6 and sharp exterior design, though the interior can feel a bit cheap, especially on some of the more expensive trims. Adding options quickly puts it into Lincoln Navigator territory, and itÂ’s hard to recommend the Ford over the Lincoln when the latter packs the same capability into a far nicer package. Still, the Expedition is as good or better than the competition in most respects, and thatÂ’s why itÂ’s one of our picks. 2019 Toyota 86 Few cars at any price point are as much fun as the Toyota 86 (and its twin, the Subaru BRZ). We like the 86Â’s balanced chassis and sharp steering, and while itÂ’s not as nimble as its close rival the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the ToyotaÂ’s back seat and trunk make it a more usable vehicle. But while we like the 86Â’s driving position, the rest of the interior feels cheap and dated, especially the infotainment system. We complained about the anemic powertrain back in 2012, and itÂ’s only gotten worse as the years have gone by.

US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.
