For sale is my 68 Mustang that I got December 24th 1992 prior to my entrance into the United States Marine Corps. I named her Natasha. When I got her she had a 302 w/289 heads Factory air conditioning, PS, and manual brakes. She was Cherry red with maroon interior. So I drove her for a few years like that. Natasha has been one of the Loves of my Life.
So about 5 years ago I decided to start a full restoration. Since Natasha was starting to show her age. I pulled her into the Garage and proceeded to pull every her down too the bare shell. I took her to a Classic Paint and Body shop in Charlotte NC. They worked her over and sprayed her in Bright Inferno Red. Now keep in mind I wanted to Hot Rod her up, add some Flare, but I also wanted to preserve her original appeal. I did not want her to be a beast. I looked at a lot of things other guys had done.
Drivetrain. I decided that the 93 Cobra Power Plant was the ticket. So I bought a 302 Crate Roller Engine for a 1993 Cobra with the GT40 Cobra Intake which has been Extreme Honed. This is an original 93 Cobra intake. These are very rare and highly sought after. This Mustang has a Custom built set of Long Tube Headers that actually fit the car without scraping everything you cross over, unlike the TriY's. They fit around the C4 Bell house like a glove. The transmission is a fully rebuilt C4 automatic with a brand new 2500 Stall. Trans shifts smoothly and not rough at all. I did have a shift kit installed. The exhaust runs straight back to a set of Flowmasters for that nice Growl. I decided on the electronics to go with the more tunable version, so I used the A9P. The rear gears are Factory 273's She does such a fine job cruising I figured why Fix what's not broken. Wheels I wanted to give Her an updated looking set of wheels so I bought a set of Chrome 17x8 OEM Ford Mach 1 wheels for her. Keeps her looking Classic, but puts a great spin on her looks. I just added Brand new KYB Shocks.
Interior. I did not want a solid color and I did not care for the OEM red's of the day. I looked at different colors and cars and decided to use TMI's 1966 Mustang Red with 1968 Black on the seats. I used 1968 Black Door panels. Red Head Liner. Black Dash with Red Paint. I also used Dyno mat in the entire interior space, which really knocked out the noise. For the Stereo system. I used a Kenwood KDC-MP238. It has Blu Tooth, and the AUX input to run your Pandora or Ipod. I used the Q-Forms kick panels for some added sound in the cabin. She has Kenwood 6 1/2's in front and 5x8's in the rear. Great sound . She is wired up to have an amp in the back if you wanted to add a subwoofer. I added Lokar Pedals. The brake pedal is not pictured, but I have it new in the wrapper. I also used New Black Carpet.
I also Powder coated all the door hinges, trunk hinges, hood hinges in Black. I wanted to avoid that trashy look and keep it looking good for years which it will.

2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Ford is toiling away, installing heavy-duty engine components into select 3.7-liter V6s to allow them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to gasoline. That's nothing new, but now, Ford has announced that it will offer the 2014 F-150 with this engine configuration, bringing the Blue Oval's total number of CNG/LPG-friendly vehicles up to eight. The F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup on the market that can run on these gases.
Ford will charge $315 per vehicle to equip the optional engine, but the trucks won't be ready to run on the alternative fuels straight from the factory and must be upfitted with additional equipment. A Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier will install a separate fuel system for the compressed gases at a cost of $7,500 to $9,500, depending on fuel tank size. With the right-size tank, the F-150 equipped with the CNG/LPG-prepped engine can go 750 miles on one tank of gas, according to Ford, averaging 23 miles per gallon.
The practice of offering flex-fuel vehicles is gaining momentum as businesses take advantage of cheap gas. CNG can be bought for $2.11/gallon on average (per gasoline equivalent), and sometimes for as little as $1.00 in some parts of the US, Ford states. "With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months," says Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager. The automaker expects to sell a total of 15,000 CNG/LPG-prepped vehicles in the 2014 model year.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
