1946 FORD
All steel street rod with custom cab extension, fuel injected V8, auto trans, power steering, power brakes and cold air conditioning. The cab mod gives the interior much needed legroom and storage without looking too messed with, but still unique. The body mods were tastefully done and look factory. People comment on it all the time thinking it came from the factory this way and think it is just some super rare model. This is the way Ford should have built it. The truck is all steel including the running boards. The truck was meant to drive. Haul things in the back, step on the running board, you can use this one - it's a solid, tough old truck that is fun to drive. It's an older build with old paint. Paint shows some minor wear, fine scratches, rock chips etc but still has a deep shine and looks really good overall. Extra purple touch up paint comes with it if you should ever need it. Purple body with black fenders and custom pinstriping.
The truck was built using a 1986 Thunderbird donor car with approximately 47,000 miles. The motor is stock 5.0 fuel injected V8 (302 c.i. for old folks like me). Ford used this motor for years in the Thunderbird and Fox body Mustangs making it very easy and affordable to get parts for. Transmission is stock automatic with overdrive and it has power steering, and power brakes. Camaro front independent suspension with 10 bolt rear. It runs excellent and has plenty of power. The interior uses much of the stock Thunderbird components like digital dash, power bucket seats, radio, tilt steering column, floor shifter etc. 17" billet aluminum wheels and dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. It handles good and is actually pretty good on gas making it an excellent driver. Power seats, power windows, heat and air conditioning.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

California Man Reunited 33 Years Later With Thunderbird
Wed, Sep 3 2014A California man was at a loss for words when he was reunited with his prized 1964 Ford Thunderbird on Tuesday, 33 years after it was stolen from a bar parking lot. Gary Chartrand could hardly believe how well his old Thunderbird held up in the last three decades. The odometer had only added about 1,000 miles from when he last saw the car back in the 1980s. "A few bumps and bruises but boy, not much changed," Chartrand told KOVR. Chartrand bought the car as a present to himself after finalizing his divorce from his wife of 10 years in 1981. It disappeared one night from the parking lot of a Sacramento bar where he was working. Police found Chartrand's car 750 miles north in Washington State. They have no leads on who might have stolen the classic car. Related Gallery Buying An Older Car: Five Things To Watch Out For
Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US
Thu, 18 Jul 2013YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
