This is an amazing find.A lady in Greensboro, N.C. bought this car new at Friendly Ford in Greensboro.She drove it keeping it in a garage until 1985.She stopped driving it in 1985.I don t know why.The 85 N.C. inspection sticker is still on the windshield and the 1975 N.C.license plate with 1985 sticker is in the trunk. The car was still in the garage when I bought it from her niece who had inherited it. but the roof was leaking causing some surface rust on the top and drivers side fender and door see pictures.The car is in really good shape for nearly 50 years old.The interior is pretty nice .The door panels are in good shape as is the back seat.The seat belts in the back are from sears and roebuck the ones in the front are original.The cloth part of the front seat is torn but the vinyl is in good shape.The headliner has 2 small mice holes in it about the size of a pencil eraser and the dash pad is cracked.The floor mat is in good shape no cracks or tears.The body has very little rust there is some in both quarters at the back of the wheel opening probably a rats nest.I tried to lift the trunk mat but it was stuck and I didn t want to tear it.We bent the drivers door and edge of the quarter unloading it off the trailer.The bumpers need re-chroming.The trim looks good but I hadn t tried to clean it up.The jack ,jack handle and spare tire and hold down stuff is still in the trunk.The paint inside the trunk and lid is in good shape as are the jacking instructions.The owners manual and good driver manual owner card and N.C. inspection receipts back til 1967 are in the dash pocket.The engine is seized but it is all there and I assume it needs some brake work. .You could get the engine running paint the exterior repair the front seat put a dash pad on it probably put some tires on it they hold air but they have been on there since 1985 I know and have a beautiful driver or completely restore it and have a show car or put a big block or roller motor in it and have a real sleeper.There are some receipts in the dash for oil changes tires and exhaust work.The speedometer has a little over 78000 miles not exactly sure I ll go look if someone really wants to know the car is about 20 miles from here .The 1984 inspection receipt has 75654 miles on it .I probably have left something out but I ve talked enough.I just think this an amazing find.I have title in hand.The car is in Denton,N.C. about the center of the state.The car will roll and the tires are inflated and I will help load it Please look at pictures and ask questions.Thanks for looking.

2015 Ford F-150 to get 2.7-liter EcoBoost?
Mon, 30 Dec 2013As we prepare for the arrival of the all-new, next-generation Ford F-150, rumors about the new truck are picking up steam. Naturally, many of said rumors aren't just related to the way the truck will look (it's expected to take design cues from the Atlas concept shown above), they're tied to what's going to motivate the Blue Oval mainstay, with Ford's EcoBoost range likely to play an increasingly key role. While we're still expecting the current 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 to retain its position as a premium alternative to Ford's naturally aspirated V6 and V8, a Canadian automotive news site is proposing that the Dearborn automaker is also preparing a new, more fuel-efficient downsized EcoBoost option.
Autos.ca is reporting that a new, 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 could find its way into the lighter, aluminum-intensive truck. The new engine supposedly makes use of asymmetrical turbos to generate 320 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque - substantially more impressive numbers than the current 3.7-liter base engine's 302 ponies and 278 lb-ft - while offering improved fuel economy and emissions. The new 2.7 EcoBoost (internally dubbed "Nano") isn't expected to supplant the naturally aspirated V6 as the F-150's base engine, it's expected to slot in above directly it.
Naturally, we're prescribing more than a few grains of salt to go with these rumors, at least until Ford debuts the next F-150 at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, a reveal we'll be covering in a mere two weeks.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt
Tue, 25 Mar 2014It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.
