1959 ford 2 door ranch wagon.
This car is a very solid car originally from California. It has the original 300hp 352. The trans has been upgraded to a C6. It runs and drives beautifully. We have driven this a lot and it has been very reliable for us. We have taken several family vacations in it. The paint and interior were done about 15 years ago. If you are looking for perfection this is probably not for you, but it is priced accordingly. If you are looking for an awesome car that is very solid and reliable and a ton of fun to take to on the road, to local cruises, car shows, and attract lots of attention than this is perfect!! We get told often it looks perfect, but it has it's defects and I just want to be up front about them. Like I said it is a very sound good car I just do not want there to be surprises.
All in all this is a very nice driver quality old car. It is very solid underneath and is not a typical Midwest bondo filled rust bucket. It gets TONS of attention everywhere we take it. Seriously we can't drive it 10 miles without getting honks and thumbs ups from other drivers. The car was also used in a Budweiser car calendar in 2011. Will include a copy if you want one. The car has been in the Midwest for roughly 6 years and has never seen salt or snow.
New Parts:
Aluminum radiator (have original as well)
Carburetor (have original as well)
electronic ignition
tires
shocks and front suspension components
Issues:
speedometer usually does not work
radio usually does not work (original am)
uses as little oil, does NOT smoke (nothing alarming typical old car stuff)
leaks some oil (nothing alarming typical old car stuff)
Paint is 15 years old and has a few minor dings and touch ups
Has typical old car interior squeaks and rattles (again nothing major, but they are there like any old car)
Vacuum wipers only work sometimes (we try to avoid rain and use rain-x...never been an issue)

Hennessey unleashes 2015 HPE700 supercharged Ford Mustang
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Thanks to the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat there is a new magic number in the muscle car world - 707. To raise eyebrows these days in the power war, a vehicle needs to match or preferably exceed that palindromic figure. The tuners over at Hennessey took a look at it for their 2015 HPE700 Mustang and decided to go one better. Well, ten actually, because they bestowed their latest creation with 717 horsepower and 632 pound-feet of torque.
The HPE 700 Mustang takes the standard Mustang GT with its 5.0-liter V8 and turns up the power a few hundred notches with a Roots-type supercharger running at 7.25 psi. Hennessey claims that this boosted 'Stang can rocket to 60 miles per hour in about 3.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 131 mph. For those keeping score at home, those figures are very similar to Challenger Hellcat.
To cope with all of the added boost, the engine gets a high-flow throttle body, upgraded injectors, new fuel pump, stainless steel exhaust and Hennessey's calibration for the engine management. Pricing for the package is $59,500, including the base 2015 Mustang GT, but the company is limiting production to 500 units for the 2015 model year. Founder John Hennessey told Autoblog that he has already received about a dozen orders for them.
Ford EcoBoost smashes records at Daytona
Thu, 10 Oct 2013Some mighty machines have lapped the banks of the Daytona International Speedway over the years: thunderous V8-powered stock cars, Le Mans-conquering Group C prototypes, open-wheel Champ Cars, knee-dragging superbikes... heck, the infield lake has even hosted powerboat racing. But this - this is the fastest car ever to lap the legendary raceway.
What you're looking at is the new Daytona Prototype being prepared by Riley Technologies for the new United SportsCar Championship. The car, released just last week, is powered by a new 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 from Ford's EcoBoost family, and just obliterated the top speed at the track with a blistering 222.971 miles per hour through the traps.
That's enough to annihilate the previous record that was set, also under Ford power, by Bill Elliott while placing his Thunderbird on pole for the 1987 Daytona 500 that he would go on to win. His 210.364 mph record had stood for 26 years until now.
Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak
Thu, 16 Jan 2014A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
