Never thought I would let this one go but I have a chance to buy a piece of real estate that I have been watching. This is a great car. It always gets a ton of attention and often steals the show. The car is real and the miles are real. The car has lead a charmed life and loved by all the previous caretakers. This car is a real sweetheart. Very easy to own. The engine and transmission have already been restored. Not just rebuilt, but actually restored with all the correct finishes, tags, lines, etc. The engine is a 292 Y block with a Thunderbird four barrel intake and valve covers. I also have a restored Offenhauser triple deuce set up that could go with if interested.
It runs perfectly and is super smooth. No smoke, no drips, no over heating, no issues. Fires instantly even after sitting. Drops into an easy idle. Transmission has been completely restored also and works as designed. No surprises. Fly in and drive it anywhere without concern. The interior is all stock and close to perfect. The seats are smooth and firm. The foam is not bagged out or saggy. The vinyl is soft and supple. It has the optional padded dash which has some small cracks. It also has the expensive padded visors which are perfect. The headliner is awesome and does not droop like most you see. The car still wears the original rubber floor mat it was delivered with and I also have a brand new ACC red carpet kit and new red windlace if you care to install it. Never out of the box. It has a new heater core and windshield along with windshield gasket. All other glass is factory and looks great. All the windows go up and down with ease including the electric rear tail gate glass. It works from a switch on the dash or with a key outside the tail gate. All the gauges and switches work perfectly. No excuses. Paint is all original also. I would never consider repainting it because the patina is so even. It would be virtually impossible to duplicate the finish that mother nature has given this car. It is totally flat with a west coast sunburn which has faded it just right. All original floorboards, body and chassis are virtually rust free with the exception of the passengers side rear door and the tail gate which both have very MINOR issues. The passenger door got creased at some point and I'm assuming it contributed to the very minor rust, but I have a rust free door bottom to make the repair. It goes with the deal and will replace the door from the moulding down. If you use it, you will need to match the paint, but it is low and should be easy to disguise.The tail gate is the worst part of the car and was loaded with pine needles when I got it. That hurt it. The base of the tail gate is solid and strong, but needs some attention. It does not affect the operation, but should be arrested if you are planning on getting this car wet. Remember this is a 53 year old car and does have signs of use. It shows honestly. The defects give it character and in my opinion make it harder to find than a restored car. You all know the drill "They are only original once, but can be restored perpetually" Car has power steering that works great. One finger to drive it! It has working AM radio that only plays songs from 1961. (not really). Car is sold with the factory 14 x 6 wide steel rims with NOS dog dish hub caps and brand new Coker bias plys (shown in pictures). The wheels and tires shown on the car are available to the high bidder for an additional $1500. I have clear Indiana title in hand. Delivery to NSRA Nationals in Louisville can be negotiated. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. Overseas buyers encouraged to bid. I have experience shipping cars to Europe and can assist with delivery to port. On Jul-22-14 at 17:05:36 PDT, seller added the following information: |

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely
Fri, 29 Aug 2014When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.
2015 Roush Mustang lineup officially revealed
Thu, 02 Oct 2014
Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."
