I'M TEARING UP DOING THIS! HARD TO BELIEVE!. I LOVE THIS TRUCK!. I PURCHASED IN JAN,90 SO I COULD HAUL PARTS FOR MY LINCOLN PARTS BUSINESS!. THIS WAS MY EVERYDAY DRIVER TILL ABOUT 09/07. I NOT ONLY LOVED IT, I TOOK CARE OF IT! I MAINTAINED IT! IF IT NEEDED ANYTHING, IT GOT IT! IT WAS ALWAYS GARAGED! AND WHEN THE 2ND ENGINE WENT OUT BECAUSE OF CRACKED HEADS. I FOUND #3 ENGINE WITH A LEGITIMATE 50 K ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS ALL APART IN THE BED, SO HOW COULD THE ENGINE BE BAD? AFTER PRESSURE WASHING, I DROPED THE OIL PAN AND PUT IN OIL PUMP AND CLEANED AND PAINTED THE PAN.&THE REST OF THE ENG!. I PUT IN NEW PLUGS, WENT THROUGH THE DISTRIBUTOR AND PUT ON A NEW ELECTRONIC COMPUTER THING. WE TRANSFERRED THE WATER PUMP BECAUSE IT WAS NEW, NEW PLUGS, THERMOSTAT,FAN AND FAN CLUTCH, HOSES,BELTS ETC. THE ALUMINUM 4 ROW HEAVY DUTY RADIATOR WAS SERVICED AND REFILLED WITH ANTI FREEZE. THE TRUCK WENT 75 MILES AND OVERHEATED!!! I PARKED IT OUTSIDE AND BOUGHT A YR OLD FUSION!. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN MY BACK YARD SINCE FALL OF O7 AND BEING OUT HAS NOT MADE IT ANY BETTER IN CONDITION. THE CUSTOM PAINT I HAD PUT ON IN 1990 IS RESPECTIBLE , BUT SHOULD BE REDONE. YOU COULD TOUCH UP THE HOOD AND RT QUARTER (CLEARCOAT IS BAD) AND REDO THE STIPE AND SHE WOULD LOOK PRETTY GOOD. THE INTERIOR IS NICE AND IN GOOD SHAPE AND CARPET IS PERFECT!(SHOULD BE SHAMPOOED!) I HAVE ALL RECORDS SINCE 01/90!` THE TRUCK HAS ZERO RUST EXCEPT THE ROOF RAIN GUTTERS WHICH ARE BOTH RUSTY FOR SOME REASON! NEVER UNDERCOATED, IT IS SUPER TIGHT AND AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE WHEN IT'S RUNNING. SAVE YOUR KID AND MAKE IT A RESTORATION PROJECT AND KEEP HIM OR HER OFF DRUGS ETC! WORKED FOR MY KID! THE CHROME ON THE TRUCK IS INSANELY NICE!,BUMPERS,HANDLES,MIRRORS-BEAUTIFUL! GRILLE HAS A SMALL CRACK UNDER RT HEADLIGHT.(I HAVE A NOS FORD ALL CHROME GRILLE AVAILABLE). CARPETS ARE PERFECT! HAS OPTIONAL MATCHING FULL DOOR PANELS AND VENT WINDOWS. IF YOU HAVE A RUST BUCKET WITH A REBUILT 2.9 ENGINE, HERE IS YOUR VEHICLE. I WILL EVEN STORE IT FOR YOU HERE AT NO CHARGE, BUT YOU MUST PAY IN FULL WHEN THE SALE IS COMPLETED. I'M 74 AND HANDICAPPED AND UNABLE TO TAKE ON THIS PROJECT--OR I WOULD!!! MORE STUFF AND INFORMATION: THE DRIVE SHAFT GOT 3 NEW U-JTS,NEW TAILSHAFT SEALS AND TRANS SERVICED AT JUST OVER 400K MILES.IT ALSO GOT A NEW BOOSTER WITH MASTER,REBUILT P/S PUMP. THE ENGINE "LOOKS NEW" AND THE COMPARTMENT IS CLEAN , WITH NOTHING MISSING. THE BATTERY TRAY IS SOLID AND NOT RUSTED OUT! THE ALUMINUM 4 ROW RADIATOR SHOULD LAST YEARS. THE FRONT END IS GOOD AND KEPT UP AND ALWAYS ALLIGNED. I TOOKS PICTURES OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE DASH, BUT MY COMPUTER IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO FIND WHERE THEY ARE?? I ALSO HAVE MORE PHOTOS INCLUDING THE RAIN GUTTERS. I WILL MAKE SURE THE TRUCK HAS 4 TIRES HOLDING AIR FOR THE PICKUP. I HAD OLD SCHOOL WHITEWALLS ON 80'S LINCOLN WIRE WHEELS WORTH $800 IN MY BUSINESS. TODAY, IT'S ALL ABOUT 20 INCH RIMS AND BLACK TIRES, SO HAVE A BALL! JUST KEEP IT OUT OF THE WRECKING YARD!

Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data
Fri, 14 Feb 2014Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.
US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction
Wed, 07 Aug 2013For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.
Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses
Mon, 06 Jan 2014For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.
