AN ALL MATCHING NUMBER CAR!!!

NEW PAINT

NEW UPOLSTRY

This 49 year old lady I consider to be 99.9% done and ready to go. I've tried to keep her as original as she was new. The upholstery is five star. The paint is at least a four &3/4 star. The chrome on this car is all original & is in great condition.

When I bought this car from a 97 year old man it'd been sitting in his garage for ten or more years. I had to pull the gas tank and flush it and the fuel lines. New fuel pump and filters. All of the suspension rubber was rotten. But being a Southern Nevada car, corrosion was not an issue. I pulled the motor reconditioned the heads and changed the freeze plugs (as one was leaking). I pulled the oil pan and plastic gauged the main and rod bearings and found all within tolerance. I've rebuilt the power steering pump & the power brake booster. I pulled the radiator, had it pressure tested, flushed and painted. All new hoses, belts & tune up. Rebuilt starter & bendix. New tires, Hankooks P215-75R15 (white walls), new brakes front and rear. All new front suspension: ball joints, tie rod ends, all new rubber bushings in the control arms, and I put new front coil springs in her as well.

I pulled the transmission pan and found all to be clean and operational. I did however replace the transmission mount and the U-joints. I put new rubber bushings in the rear leaf springs but I did not replace the springs themselves as the car seems to sit good. I rebuilt the original autolite carburetor (three times) and I just could not get her to behave herself, so I put on an Holley 600 cfm and it seemed to straighten her out.

The original carb will come with the car as may be someone better than me can get it to run properly.

I also bought a radio for her, it's a 240 watt AM FM, with usb player, RCA outputs, DVD, and satellite. As you can see in the photos, it is still in the box and brand new It's got the T-bird emblem on the face & It's supposed to slip right in. (see pics) I did not install the sound because as now this old lady is as original as I can make her. Besides, my upholstery guy told me that if I started cutting holes into his work, he'd disown me and not do anymore work for me.

Therefore, whoever does decide to buy my fine lady can do the sound themselves.

The exhaust system is the same as when I bought the car, it's in good condition, they's a pair of bullet mufflers under there that sound great. So I just let it be.

Things wrong: the horn does not work, the directional signal return does not work as well (I can't find the proper switch), and there is a clear glass reverse light lense that I cannot find (I have searched everywhere). I also have not found the original air cleaner.

This car is now located in Las Vegas NV. Buyer can trailer her home. If it was me, I'd kinda like to drive her from here to New York City, as she is a blast to drive & quite the head turner!

Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams

Sun, 11 Aug 2013

As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost

Fri, 09 May 2014

I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
