Ford: Mustang Gt on 2040-cars
Capitol Heights, Maryland, United States
For Sale 1965 Ford Mustang GT (authentic A code) – This car was built to be the “real deal”. It is a semi-modernized 65 Mustang that has the original muscle car ambiance of sound and looks (but safer and more reliable). Please thoroughly review the pictures and description as this car has had numerous updates and modifications and I want you to understand exactly what this car entails. It was built with the goal of reliability and the ability to safely cruise down a highway at 65mph in mind. This is a very nice “A” code GT that has been slowly put together. It is in great shape, but does need a few items to finish this project. 1. The factory hood was not flat so I found another original factory hood (but it still needs prepped/painted) (hood shown in first pic is no longer available). 2. The proportional valve needs adjusted as it is applying too much force to the rear brakes (didn’t adjust after changing to dual bowl master cylinder) 3. Has a vibration at ~40 mph from either a tire or driveshaft not properly balanced 4. Fuel line recently clogged so it needs replaced (I have a braided line kit with fittings) – I would suggest replacing fuel tank or having it flushed (all gas is currently drained from it) 5. Needs carb properly tuned (has a brand new Holley 600 with electric choke that needs adjusted) 6. AC compressor currently not bolted on the car (but I have it) 7. Center console not screwed down (has a crack so I was looking for a replacement) 8. Rear interior panels has speakers holes drilled into them 9. Have newHawk racing brake pads that needs installed This is an opportunity for you to purchase a very nice 65 Mustang original A code for much less than what it is worth. This is a very nice 50 year old car that is begging to be finished and enjoyed by the right owner. I simply do not have the time to appreciate this car as much as it deserves.

Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.
UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Dec 2012There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
