up for sale is this groovy 1967 Ford Falcon Club Wagon window van. It's the same as a 1961 to 1967 Ford Econoline van but the club wagons came with cool interior window trim, which this one has all of and it's all in good condition in white. This van allegedly started life as a yellow school bus in Minnesota but was painted brown at some point. The van ran good when I got it but I still had the radiator recored, installed new brakes, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, battery, 4 brand new tires, and more. This van is a dependable daily driver that gets good gas mileage and is fun to drive. Everything works except the dash lights. I've not looked into it because I don't drive it at night often. It's a blast to drive but because of the way it's geared it only likes to do about 65mph, but it gets there much faster than you'd think. It's got barn doors on the passenger side and in back and pop out windows on both sides which is nice. The drivers side window is frozen and doesn't currently roll down. It needs to be hit with some PB Blaster or something to loosen it up. The van has typical rust around the bottom and it's much worse on the drivers side but I just ordered and recieved the entire driver's side of patch panels from MAC's Antique Truck parts and those $450 worth of panels are INCLUDED IN THE SALE of the van. It's fine to drive the way it is though. There are no rear seats in the van and the front seats are believed to be high back bucket seats from a 1969 Mustang Mach 1. I like them. they are period correct and have a higher more comfortable back than the factory seats.

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]
Sat, 28 Jun 2014When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."
Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
