THIS LOOKS LIKE THE CAR I DROVE IN HIGH SCHOOL. "MY BOYFRIEND" WRECKED THE ORIGINAL. I BOUGHT THIS ONE IN 2008 TO CELEBRATE 10 YEARS AS A CANCER SURVIVOR. NOW I FIND MYSELF WIDOWED AND ON SOCIAL SECURITY----SO....
THE COLOR IS CALLED PEACOCK BLUE AND THE PAINT IS IN GREAT SHAPE, AS THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED AND COVERED SINCE IT WAS PAINTED. THE BACK SEAT HAS THE ORIGINAL UPHHOLSTERY AND IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE FRONT BUCKET SEATS WERE REUPHOLSTERED WITH THE ORIGINAL FACTORY TYPE COVERS. SHE HAS A NEW DASHBOARD PAD AND COVER, A NEW TOP AND A NEW BOOT. THE CARPET IS ORIGINAL . THE FRONT FLOOR MATS ARE CUSTOM MADE. THE GAS GAUGE "BOUNCES" AROUND SO I ALWAYS FILL HER UP WHEN I GET IN (IT'S A GIRL THING). THE SPEEDOMETER WOBBLES OVER 60 MPH. THE SUN VISOR BRACKET ON THE SHOTGUN SIDE BROKE THE LAST TIME I DROVE IT. I'LL TRY TO FIND A REPLACEMENT AND FIX IT.
THE HEATER WORKS GOOD BUT SINCE MY GOAL WAS TO RESTORE HER TO AS NEAR ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE THERE IS NO AC. THE ORIGINAL AM RADIO IS INCLUDED BUT I'VE NEVER TRIED IT. THE ONE IN THE CAR IS AN AFTER MARKET BUT IT DOESN'T PICK UP MANY STATIONS. THE CLOCK WAS REPLACED BUT IT IS CURRENTLY 'RESTING' AND HASN'T BEEN DIAGNOSED YET. ALL OF THE WINDOWS OPERATE EXACTLY AS THEY DID 50 YEARS AGO WITH KNOBS AND GOOD BICEPS. IT PASSED TEXAS INSPECTION IN NOVEMBER 2012 SO ALL OF THE TURN SIGNALS AND LIGHTS WORK.
THE WHITEWALL TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE WHITEWALL SPARE HAS NEVER BEEN ON THE GROUND. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL HUBCAPS BUT THE ONES ON IT ARE WHAT WE CALLED 'SPOKES'. MOST OF THE CHROME IS ORIGINAL AND LOOKS GREAT. TWO PIECES WERE REPLACED WHEN THE CAR WAS PAINTED. SOME OF THE CHROME HAS VERY MINOR DENTS AND SCRATCHES.
NOW FOR THE MAN STUFF: IT HAS A 390 CID WITH APPROX. 95,000 ORIGINAL MILES AND A FORD 4 BARREL CARBURETOR AND AN ELECTRONIC POINTLESS IGNITION. THE SPARK PLUG WIRES, SPARK PLUGS, DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND VALVE COVER GASKETS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. SHE HAS POWER STEERING BUT NOT POWER BRAKES. SHE HAS DUAL EXHAUST WITH GLAS-PAC TYPE MUFFLERS. IT ALSO HAS A SERVICE MANUAL AND A WIRING SCHEMATIC INCLUDED. IT HAS THE OLD TYPE BUMPER JACK.
THE CAR DRIVES GOOD---USING THE STANDARDS OF 50 YEARS AGO. SHE HAS SURVIVED IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE THAN MOST FOLKS OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER HER. IT BREAKS MY HEART TO LET HER GO SO PLEASE: TO A GOOD HOME. I'M SURE THERE ARE THINGS I FORGOT SO PLEASE EMAIL QUESTIONS. WE INVESTED 35K INTO HER BUT ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED. ...
NOW THIS IS THE PART I'M 'SUPPOSED' TO PUT: ALL BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACKS NEED TO ASK BEFORE BIDDING OR THE BID MIGHT BE CANCELLED. THE SUCCESSFUL HIGH BIDDER WILL SUBMIT $1000 - NON REFUNDABLE - PAYMENT DEPOSIT WITH PAYPAL WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION TO SECURE THE VEHICLE. FINAL PAYMENT WILL BE U.S.BANK CHECK, BANK WIRE TRANSFER OR CASH DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CLOSE OF AUCTION. ITS THE BUYERS OBLIGATION TO ARRANGE FOR SHIPPING. ALL FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS MUST BE COMPLETE BEFORE DELIVERY OF VEHICLE. FINAL PAYMENT THROUGH PAYPAL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]
Wed, 05 Jun 2013For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.
Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like
Sat, 12 Oct 2013Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.
