When listing this car previously, I left out a fiberglass console that I had purchased from Dearborn several years ago, but have not yet installed. It is pictured here and will be included with the car. While I have owned several classic cars since my retirement, I upgrade and keep most of them. I do, however, have space limitations which require me to let go of one occasionally. This vehicle has always been stored inside and driven in the summer months to cruise-ins for a total of 3,375 miles in the 10 years I have owned it. Some minor body work and new paint will make this a nice show car. I have done my best to show and describe where body work is needed with the photos. Both rear wheel wells are showing rust where the stainless trim is mounted. The passenger door has bondo cracking where it had been repaired before I bought the car. The following is a list of new items and/or modifications which I have made in the past 10 years: New tail pipes and chrome tips New inside rear view mirror New gauges in dash New tachometor in dash New dome lamp body New wheel opening moldings New power steering valve, left and right outer tie rod ends, idler arm, front end alighment and new tires New door arm rests, both right and left New carpeting New color matched floor mats with Torino logo Installed new Edlebrock 4-barrell manifold and new Holley 600 cfm carburator New tail light lenses New hood lip molding New kick panels New parking light lenses New starter New windshileld wiper pump New power steering hoses Removed automatic transmission and installed Ford toploader 4-speed transmission New flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, Torino pedals, rods, z-brackets and clutch arm Installed new Hurst shifter and new drive shaft Replaced old rear end with 350 positive traction rear end Installed new brake shoes and hoses New coil New Malory Unilite distributor New Fuel Pump New radiator hose set New belts New Griffin aluminum radiator New front and reat Motorcraft gas shocks New Flowmaster mufflers New motor mounts |

Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.
Ford not backing down on MPG-based marketing strategy
Thu, Jun 26 2014The Blue Oval may have to back off a bit from the green messaging. Ford has had to lower fuel-economy ratings on a number of 2013 and 2014 model-year vehicles, namely its hybrids. And that may force the US automaker to rethink some of its marketing strategy, Automotive News reports. Ford has spent much of the year pushing its fuel-efficiency improvements, with everything from a Super Bowl ad saying its Fusion Hybrid gets "almost double" the fuel efficiency of an average vehicle (after the recalculation, it's now more like 75 percent better) to claiming the Fiesta is the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid in the US (it's actually the Mitsubishi Mirage) to stating the C-Max Hybrid gets better fuel economy than the Toyota Prius V (it doesn't). Nonetheless, Ford doesn't plan on changing its mpg marketing emphasis anytime soon, the company said in an e-mailed statement to AutoblogGreen. "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA." "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA," the company said. "We will continue to highlight our vehicles features and attributes in our advertising and marketing, which includes fuel economy and fuel-saving technologies like EcoBoost and hybrids." Earlier this month, Ford said it would lower the fuel-economy ratings of models such as the C-Max, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ Hybrids as well as most of the Fiesta line because of mistakes in the company's internal testing data. It was the second change for the C-Max Hybrid. The good news for Ford is that its fleetwide fuel economy is up almost 40 percent from a decade ago, compared to an improvement of around 23 percent for Toyota. Still, while sales of Ford hybrids and plug-ins are about even with last year through the first five months of 2014, C-Max Hybrid sales have plunged 49 percent from a year earlier. Earlier this year, Ford admitted that the first fuel economy downgrade had a negative effect on sales and we can find proof in the numbers. Before that the change was announced, in August 2013, Ford was consistently selling over 2,000 – and sometimes over 3,000 – C-Max Hybrids a month. In September, it dropped to 1,424, then to 1,438 in October. It didn't climb back above 2,000 until May 2014. The second mpg adjustment was announced in June.
Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio
Thu, 27 Feb 2014
A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.
