Here for your consideration is a 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra coupe. I have just had the 4cam 4.6 engine completely rebuilt at a cost of $4000.00 dollars. I bought this car with a rod knocking. Upon teardown it was discovered that number 4 and 8 rods had spun the bearings in the rods themselves. The rods in these engines cannot be resized, so I replaced both with new Ford rods. The block was then bored 0.020" with torque plates (which Ford did not do originally) and new 0.020" pistons installed. The cranked had to be turned 0.010" on both the rods and mains. The entire rotating assembly was rebalanced at that point. ARP studs were used in the block instead of the inferior factory bolts. ARP rod bolts were installed instead of the torque/yield bolts that were original. The cams were absolutely flawless, so I reused them. New chain tensioners were installed and a complete valve job done on the heads. I installed a new dual friction clutch when the engine was reinstalled. The car has been driven 400 miles so far since the rebuild. It runs and drives as new, nice tight suspension, ice cold A/C, everything works except the odometer. I checked the bottom side and everything is correct, so it must be in the head unit. Speedo works fine. This car is all stock, no mods at all, even original exhaust. This car has always been in North Carolina so there is no corrosion issues. The leather on the steering wheel is showing some wear and the bolster on the drivers seat needs to be recovered, as seen in the pictures. No cracks on the dash or door panels. This car should give thousands of trouble free miles with the work that has just been done. While preparing the car to return to the road, all the brakes have been gone through. This Cobra has never been hit and I believe it is wearing it's original black paint. It also has the Mach 460 sound system with AM/FM, CD, Cassette. If you are looking for a factory high performance Mustang that has not been "flogged" yet, then this is your car. If you drive it, you will love it. Car is sold as is. You are welcome any time during the auction to personally inspect and drive the car. Buyer is responsible for transporting the car to it's new home. I need payment within 2 weeks of auction's end.

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.

Ford adds third shift at F-150 plant to keep up with demand

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

The signs have been very positive for Ford's F-Series line of pickup trucks as of late, and after 24 consecutive months of increasing sales of the best-selling F-150, the automaker has added a third production crew at its Kansas City Assembly Plant that includes 900 new hourly workers to meet demand for the truck. This the first step in Ford's plan to add 2,000 hourly jobs at the plant to help meet demand for its trucks and to begin production of the new Transit van, the automaker says.
Despite some tough new competition, sales of the F-Series are the strongest they've been since 2006, according to Ford. The automaker sold 60,449 F-Series in July, the best sales figure for the mid-summer month since 2006, which also represents a 23 percent increase compared to July 2012. From January to July 2013, sales were up 22 percent compared to the same period last year.
Ford has committed to creating 12,000 hourly jobs by 2015, and with the 900 new employees added to the assembly plant in Missouri, the company says it has completed 75 percent of its goal. Ford has also invested $1.1 billion to retool and expand the Kansas City Assembly Plant to ready it for Transit production. Take a look at the press release below for more job and F-Series sales information.

Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected

Thu, 29 May 2014

Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
