1972 Ford Mustang Mach1. Original delivery shows it going to a southern, California dealership. To my knowledge, always a California car and in the same county. Features a 351 Cleveland motor with automatic transmission and a 4 barrel upgraded carburetor that was put in by the previous owner. Engine runs strong, I have never had an issue with it, and well-maintained for long road trips. Has approx. 113,500 original miles. I have had it for a few years and in that time I have replaced; brakes (pads, rear drum brakes, shoes, master cylinder, and more), new ignition switch, belts, hoses, Optima battery, battery cables, voltage regulator, and more. Interior dash was repainted same color (black) a few months ago. Has an aftermarket touchscreen radio that features AM/FM CD, DVD, Bluetooth, Pandora Radio, USB slot, and Auxiliary port. Also has a nice rear-view camera setup so that you can easily back up without worrying about seeing through the rear-window louvers. The backup camera also has a switch so that it can be turned on while in any gear (pretty cool!). Interior is in really nice condition other than the two panels in the rear area that are missing, as stated in the defects section. No windshield wiper setup and horn not setup. Please see photos and ask any questions. Exterior is also in very nice condition. I've tried to show every angle and be very thorough with my details, but at the same time the car is in really nice shape for being over forty years old. As mentioned, paint is about six years old (previous owner painted it) and does have a few spots that can be touched up. This is very similar to original color other than the gloss coat added, as I discovered while reviewing the paint code on the vehicle and Marti Report. Vehicle comes with the Marti Report, which shows a lot of specifics of the car and rarity (1 of only 307 built that year with these paint and trim codes). I can provide you with a copy of that prior to selling, upon request. Rear window louvers have been powder-coated to prolong the quality. Wheels and tires are in really good shape as well. The rims are original, NOT aftermarket. As stated, this car is in really great shape inside and out, and am looking for a good home for it to go to. I have done several car shows over the past several years, including winning a lot of awards.

Check out Ford's fully automated self-parking car [w/video]

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

As automakers continue to find uses for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technology, Ford of Europe has announced that it is developing a self-parking system for future use. More advanced than the Active Park Assist already offered in many Ford products, the new Fully Assisted Parking Aid can take full control of the vehicle and can navigate angled and perpendicular parking spots.
While today's Active Park Assist can only parallel park with the driver controlling the gas, brake and gear selection, Fully Assisted Parking Aid can operate steering, gas, brake and gear selection all while making sure the car is properly parked in the intended space. As with APA, the driver pushes a button to make the car look for a proper spot (at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour), and when an adequate space is located, the operator pushes another button (either inside the car or outside via remote control) for the car to park itself - the button must be pressed throughout the whole parking maneuver. Even though Ford says that the car can effect gear selections on its own, the system must still start from Neutral, and the automaker isn't saying whether the car can put itself into Park when done or put itself in Drive when the operator is ready to go.
Ford is also taking the opportunity to announce its new Obstacle Avoidance technology. This automated system is able to detect objects - including pedestrians - in the road, warn drivers of said objects and, if needed, stop and steer automatically to avoid hitting the obstacle. Both systems are still in the prototype phase, so there is no word as to when we could see either on a production vehicle.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video]

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson. To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford, the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
