Ford Other Ltd Convertible on 2040-cars
Stewartstown, Pennsylvania, United States
Great spring, summer and fall cruiser here for sale at a very reasonable price for such a low mile classic. The car has only 51142 original miles and was a 2 owner vehicle when I purchased this. The car has always been a Pa vehicle, bought new here in Pa and stayed here and garaged most of its life. I will start off saying that this car is really solid, floors, body and so on. The car has had one repaint back in the early 90's, it looks very nice from 5 to 10 feet away but does show minor flaws here and there. I try to point these flaws out in pictures. I would just drive the way it is and enjoy the vehicle. The interior is all original and in great condition for 45 years old. The carpets are very nice, the rubber mat has been in the car since the 1980's from what I was told. All gauges work, the clock works sometimes, am fm radio works great. The white top is in very nice shape, has one small hole which I have taken a picture of. The top goes up and down with no issues, the windows also go up and down as they should. Car has new spark plugs, wires, oil changed, new radiator and is ready to go on long rides. I have some of the original paper work from the original owners as pictures. Tires are in great shape, disc brakes on the front, just a great car at a great price. The red on the bottom rocker panels is a pinstripe, again put on back in the early 90's when the car was painted. I was going to remove and have the rocker moldings redone to the original look, but never got around to it.

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.
VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
