1966 T-bird found abandoned in a barn and great for a restoration project. Vin # 6Y87Z107660. This vehicle's body appears very straight. Interior very nice with no wear on seats. Chrome and aluminum trim pit and dent free. All original with factory A/C. Powered buy the 390Hp V8 automatic transmission. I do not know if it runs but common sense would tell me a carb rebuild, plugs, points-condenser, maybe fuel pump and wire set it should purr like a kitten. These cars are old school and cheap to tune!! I was told the mileage is original at 29,686 and the party I spoke to said it did not leak or burn any oil when they seen it run 20 years ago. The owner is deceased so I do not have any concrete info. The odometer could have been turned over but I would think you would see wear in the seats and pedals if that were the case. So your on your own. It is sold as is. I checked the fluids and all is where it should be ( anti freeze, engine oil and transmission fluid)...The vinyl top had deteriorated and due to absorbing water has rusted the top. There are some soft spots up there. The glass and plastic tail lights all look good. In my personal opinion for a car almost 50 years old it is good shape and a great restoration project. There is a large box of manuals and info and factory hub caps inside the vehicle. The tires do hold air for a while but obviously will need to be replaced. I have a clear Fl title and the car can sit for a while for shipping arrangements if needed... Again this vehicle is sold as is !!. I thought of keeping it but I have too many projects....Scott (352) 383-6243

Ford to build Explorer in Russia to meet demand [w/video]
Fri, 12 Apr 2013The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will build Russian-market Explorers only, and production of export vehicles not destined for Russian buyers will continue to be built at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.
Before this plant went online, Ford would ship Explorers to Russia (and other regions around the world) as partially assembled knock-down units where final assembly would eventually take place. While there is no indication as to how many Explorers Ford Sollers will build for Russia, Ford did add that exports of the SUV were up 65 percent last year (from 2011) accounting for more than 24,000 units.
Scroll down for a press release about the Russian Explorer as well as a video (bad music and all) showing the SUV being produced in Tatarstan.
Ford celebrates 1 millionth Mustang built at Flat Rock
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Yesterday, the Ford Mustang turned 49 years old, and Ford didn't miss the opportunity to celebrate the one millionth version of the Mustang rolling off the assembly line at the Flat Rock Assembly plant. Production of the Mustang at Flat Rock coincided with the fifth-generation design launching in 2004, and the one millionth car was the car shown above, a 2014 GT convertible painted in Ruby Red.
In total, Ford has sold more than 8.5 million Mustangs since the original car went on sale, but some of the key milestones over the car's nine years at Flat Rock include the Shelby GT-H, Bullitt, Boss 302 and, of course, the 662-horsepower Shelby GT500.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
