1969 Ford Mustang Fastback 5.0 BOSS 94.7 WCSX Stone Soup Project
This is truly a one-of-a-kind, spirit-of-Detroit collector car. It was built for charity and raffled off by Detroit's Classic Rock Station 94.7 WCSX to benefit The Children's Miracle Network at Beaumont Hospital. All parts and labor were donated by industry leading companies. Based on the fable of "Stone Soup" - where everyone pitches in and you wind up with something wonderful - this project is a reflection of the automotive spirit and hard working nature of Detroit.
They started out with a special Dynacorn 1969 Mustang Fastback shell that was purchased by Ford Motor Company in 2009 and hung on display at SEMA in 2010. Roush donated a 2013 Roush Coyote 5.0RSC 600HP 302L Ford Racing BOSS and the project was set in motion. Dozens of automotive companies around the Detroit area contributed parts and labor to create a high performance vehicle with the very best components available on the market.

There is no windshield washer fluid pump. The speedometer, odometer, and temperature gages DO NOT work--this is how I recieved the car.

This car was highly publicized and sought after in the months leading up to the raffle. It was featured on display at every major 2012 car cruise in Detroit, including the Woodward Dream Cruise. Acknowledged by Bill Ford and Alan Mulally, this Mustang raised over $130,000 for its cause and raffle tickets were purchased by high profile Detroit celebrities such as Alice Cooper.
Here is a letter from Bill Ford about the Mustang:
LETTER FROM BILL FORD TO EVERYONE

Jim O'Brien
-------------
Dear Jim,
Wow! The photo you sent of the 575 hp Roush Supercharged '69 Mustang is stunning!
Congratulations to you and the entire WCSX crew behind the Stone Soup Project, as well as all the car enthusiasts, hobbyists, die hards and automotive suppliers who all came together to build this fabulous car from the shell up.
Pulling together for a great cause in this instance, the Children's Miracle Network at Beaumont Children's Hospital is one of the things that makes Detroit a great place to live, work and show our passion for cars. Good luck to all those who purchase raffle tickets in hopes of winning this latest creation from the Motor City!
Bill Ford
Executive Chairman

MY OWN WORDS:
This car has a remanufactured body made for Ford Motor Company in 2009 by Dycorn Inc., an industry leader in remanufacted classic car shells. This is not an original 1969 Ford Mustang body. Because of this, the car is titled by Michigan Secretary of State as a 2013 Assembled Vehicle.
This car is is basically a custom built race car with the body of a 1969 Mustang Fastback. It is absolutely stunnning to look at, and there is enough under the hood to put any regular manufactured sports car to shame. After driving this car for a few hours, I can say that its the fastest car I've ever been in or will be in my entire life, and I didnt even push it to its limits. Every single part used to make this car is used on race cars, not street cars. The person who buys this car is a getting a race car. The fuel pump hums and the supercharger whistles when its running. The suspension is so tight, you feel every bump and the tires grip the cement like glue. There is a governor that sets the max RPMs to about 5500, but this engine is designed to redline at least 7000. With a 6 speed manual trans, you can squeel the tires in every gear.
I have a professional appraisal from a local automobile author and historian "Top Hat" John Jendza, His appraisal of $65,000 is based on the price it would cost to buy all of the parts and components used to build the car. The Roush engine alone retails for approximately $18,000 and the Dynacorn body about $17,000. Factor in tens of thousands of dollars in labor to build it, and you're looking at a value of nearly $100,000 to reproduce.
This car is not for everyone and it is not perfect. But if you're looking to buy a brand new race car with super premium parts that looks like a classic muscle car, then this is the car for you!

2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.
Ford Escort is ready to focus on the Chinese market
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford officially revived the Escort name in China, showing of the new, four-door compact at the Beijing Motor Show. Painted in a stylish brown-bronze, the new sedan wears a number of global Ford styling cues while sharing its platform with the Ford Focus.
Power for the new model comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, although Ford doesn't specify just how much power is on offer, simply saying that the fuel economy of the new mill will be "outstanding." It's unclear what transmission will be distributing the engine's power, although based on the images we've seen, the Escort will definitely offer a two-pedal setup.
The layout of the cabin is fairly clean, although as we mentioned in our initial post on the new Escort, it's a decidedly sparser environment than we've grown use to in US-spec Fords of late. If anything, it's like a weird blend of current Ford switchgear with an overall look that reminds us of older Ford layouts. Still, it looks like a comfortable way of moving five people about without too much fuss. There's ample space both front and rear, and a rather spacious trunk.
F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.
