1971 Ford Mustang Boss 351 on 2040-cars
Derrick City, Pennsylvania, United States
Just email me at: adrienneaffils@britishtalent.org .
My Yellow Boss 351 is up for sale. This is one of the Boss 351's that was at Hershey this year. This is the very
nice restored car with LOTS of NOS stuff. The following is a list of some of the NOS stuff:
bumpers,
body decals
hood pins
door handle
weatherstripping (where do you find that these days)
front spoiler (yes NOS spoiler)
And more stuff.
This is a nicely optioned car (not super optioned) but it has the options that most people put on cars that didn't
have it. Take a look at the Marti report. It came with spoilers, and it came with Magnum 500. It still has
it's original Ford Magnums on it that are in great shape. Actually it still has lots of it's original parts
because they were in great shape. Also it came with essential power steering (I had one without PS and it was
tough steering unless you were just going straight for a 1/4 mile!)
It has original floors, doors, quarters....but it has NOS front fenders and hood. Has about 65k miles on it. Is
it flawless? No. The paint looks great (so everyone tells me) but the paint was never rubbed out so it still has
a little of that factory finish it had in 1971. But the NOS weatherstripping just makes the doors close
effortlessly.
This car was built to be beautiful and to truly have a Boss 351 feel. The original engine has been redone. Since
it was low mileage and everything mic'ed up well, it has the original pistons. It has a new cam ground to the
original specification. Heads were redone with harden seats, crank done, bearings.....The original carb was
rebuilt, as was the original distributor. Rebuilt water pump. Original intake and exhaust manifolds. The engine
is stock, stock, stock, just like it came. Yet, when we finished breaking in the motor on the dyno, it pulled
360HP! (I have the dyno sheet).

The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow
Tue, 14 Jan 2014When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
