This is a solid project car, runs, drives, stops, steers and can be driven on the street while you fix up. This is an all original 1969 Mach 1. Car needs paint, body, interior work. Sold "as is". I bought to restore, don't have time. Car is missing its trim rings on wheels. Dash pad cracked and faded. Seats all good except drivers its foam worn,torn and foam can be seen. Its rusty here and there. Worst rust right side trunk floor pan is shot. Fender aprons rusted at overlap as usual. Floors and underneath are good in my opinion. Engine is original, trans is original . Minor power steering leak, small oil leak. I found in a barn, replaced gas tank, sender, cleaned lines, replaced fuel pump, carb, and she runs great. Very strong runner, shifts nice. Primer on car is from misc. sanding and covering up bare metal to keep from rusting. Black out hood treatment faded off, I have started to reapply but haven't finished. Rim blow works, disk brakes, 9", m code 351 4 valve. Have the Marti report. Sold as is. No warranty. This is a very solid all original all ford all they way it left factory solid project. Wimbledon white with red/burgundy interior. Non working am still in it. 3 speed FMX . Please understand this is not a restored car with the real car hidden below paint and bodywork. This is a unrestored original car, I can impress enough this needs restored but it doesn't have any hidden stuff going on. The lower quarters are rusted, both doors corners are slightly rusted "no holes in doors, rockers and fenders are rust free ford fenders that came on car, same with doors . Roof solid, floors nice except trunk floor . I have put a new tank in and even had the factory original carb rebuilt by a local rebuilder that goes with car. I just added a holley performance carb with electric choke. I also have the factory air cleaner assembly. Door glasses are out, both are good tinted door glass but they became loose in regulator so I pulled them out for safe keeping. Turn signals in scoop work, all lights work, all interior lights work except dash lights. Radio and dash lights no not work assume its a fuse, but don't know for sure. Tires are as new but showing light dry rot, bf goodrich t/a's. Car is kept inside. I will not deliver. I will not allow car to leave until payment is made in full in cash, or cashiers check or wire transfer to my bank and my bank confirms funds are there. $500.00 deposit to be paid through pay pal within 48 hours of close of auction. This is a great car, basket case Mach 1 mustangs are easy and cheap to buy. Totally restored examples are unaffordable for most. The reserve on this car is very favorable when you look at both ends of the spectrum. Not very often can you find one that hasn't been messed with and is all factory original as this one. One more disclosure this is a project car, it needs work, every part needs attention, but every part is there and every part is Ford. Car is located in Central Virginia, just outside Richmond.

And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).

Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.
