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. |

How the Ram Multifunction Tailgate compares to Ford, GMC, Honda
Wed, Feb 6 2019Ram just announced its Multifunction Tailgate — a descriptive if not very creative name. It's an asymmetrical barn-door arrangement, which can both fold down like a conventional tailgate or swing open like a gate. There's a new bed step, but unlike Ford or GM, the step isn't part of the tailgate itself. Rather, it kicks out from under the bumper (as opposed to out from under the driver's side of the rear bumper in its previous incarnation). So let's just focus on the tailgate functionality. A video of the Ram Multifunction Tailgate in action is above. For one, either of the swinging tailgate sections can be opened independently. They open to a full 88 degrees. In conventional flip-down mode, the tailgate works just like a normal one, too, with a 2,000-pound rating. The bottom line is that while it gives a variety of types of access to the load area, it doesn't "do" anything else. It's a $995 option on any Ram 1500. Its closest analogue is the Honda Ridgeline, which works basically the same way, but on that truck the tailgate swings as one piece. And the Honda's load rating isn't as hefty as the Ram's tailgate: 300 pounds. As Honda says, that's sufficient to hold the weight of the part of an ATV hanging out of the bed, or something similar, but it's a lighter-duty unit (and a lighter-duty truck) than the Ram's overall. Let's also get Ford's one-trick tailgate out of the way before comparing to the more analogous, and complicated, GM MultiPro. A bit of trivia: Ford's optional Tailgate Step is actually designed and supplied by Multimatic, better known as the outfit that builds the Ford GT and produces the DSSV spool-valve shocks. This step has been available for years. It pulls out of the top edge of the tailgate when the tailgate is lowered, deploying a single step. A separate handle pulls out from beside the step and flips up, giving a handhold. While it was initially (and infamously) mocked by competitors, with load floor heights as high as they are it's better than toting around a stepstool. It's currently a $375 standalone option. Now we get to the GMC MultiPro tailgate, the most complicated and multi-functioned around. It's essentially a tailgate within a tailgate, with a fold-out stopper that deploys from the inner tailgate. This gives it several functions depending on the position of all the parts. It can still be used like a normal tailgate, dropping down at the push of a button or using the key fob.
How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.
Ford Ranger-based 7-seat SUV spotted testing
Wed, 29 May 2013Ford looks to be working on a new SUV version of its global Ranger pickup truck. An early prototype of a seven-passenger SUV based on the Ranger has been spotted testing in Australia, and word has it buyers in the region could expect to see the model in showrooms as soon as 2014, where it could sail under the Endeavour or Everest badges. Ford Australia currently sells the Territory SUV, so there's some chance that this model could be a successor to that throne, as well.
Whatever it's called, the long-roof Ranger will feature a shorter wheelbase and more ground clearance than its pickup twin, giving the machine a bit more off-road functionality. (And here we thought we couldn't want the global Ranger any more than we already do.) While this particular vehicle sports a Territory back half grafted onto a Ranger front end, odds are a public reveal of the finished product could occur as soon as the second half of 2014, making it a 2015 model. Head over to Carsguide.com.au for a closer look.
