The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Completely original,once repainted"

I bought this several years ago,at an auction.It was being sold by the estate of the owner.I found registrations all the way back into the 60s'.I believe this is a 2 owner car,him, and I.At one point he decided high back bucket seats would be cool, so he put them in.I have a set of the correct ,original seats,(need to be recovered/foam),that will be included in sale.It sits very straight, the bed is straight,and drives very straight.It starts well, drives well, and shifts well.I would NOT drive this without going through the brakes. Other than that,it seems road worthy.I put on new shocks,(period correct Delco Pleasurisers),and a new starter,(bad bendix),and changed the oil,with a Motocraft filter.

The neat thing about this car is that it is ALL there.It has factory in dash air conditioning,(the belt is off,but compressor turns freely),power steering,power drum brakes,AM radio,console,and was originally an XL.It has not been altered,(bucket seat swap/radiator overflow), or wrecked anywhere,other than minor dings,and an "Earl Scheib" paint,a long time ago.Quarters are solid,a little rust behind the doors,and the window scraper outside seals are shot,so water got in the bottoms of both doors,and they needpatch panels,or replacement.I have a PERFECT pair of totally rust/corrosion free doors,that will go with the car if buy it now is selected.I have had this in indoor dry storage,since I bought it,and now realize I have too many projects,that I don't have time to complete.There is a Marti report in pictures.

This was a gentelmans driver, and not a hauler/work truck.It came from Washington state, so has humidity/surface corroding,but is solid.Ask any questions,I will answer honestly.Thanks for lookin'.

Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
