Interior never cut or modified, driver's seat torn, driver's armrest torn, headliner stained in passenger rear, steering wheel has cracks, all original glass very good, rear seat never sat in, no cracks on dash some warping, AM radio works. Original carpet. Inside rear view mirror spotted.An unmolested original interior. Console in good shape. Only modification to interior is addition of a water temp gauge.

Exterior was the victim of a 90 year old lady with less than perfect eyesight and a narrow one car garage. She managed to bump each side several times entering and exiting. Looks like the right front fender might have been replaced many years ago (the red has faded darker than the rest). Several hail dents in the body from 1970 Lubbock,TX F-5 Tornado, possibly the last remaining running example of any car with damage from that 1970 tornado. Not sure what difference that makes, but there it is. All dents are repairable. Some rust in area behind passenger rear wheel lower, see pics. Some surface rust on rear bumper, that's it. Underside surface rust only of course. Car was sold in and has always remained in dry West Texas, Lubbock to be exact. . Original paint with best C stripe of early 68 models. Original GT wheel caps and rings. One cap missing the GT emblem. Original GT spare wheel. Gauges work with exception of gas gauge. Speedo reads high due to new rear end ratio.

Purchased from the original owner over 15 years ago by myself, she was 93 at the time. Her husband purchased the car for her new, he sadly passed shortly thereafter. No children ever sat in the car as they never had any. She never drove the car outside Lubbock county, driving it very little in the 90's. I have a stack of receipts dating from 1970 for everything she ever had done to the car. I also have pictures and receipts of the overhaul of the 69 428CJ.

This is a rare opportunity to own a rapidly disappearing muscle car.

BTW, original running 390 engine available if desired for additional $. Inquire.

Email for more pics.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

Ford Ranger-based 7-seat SUV spotted testing

Wed, 29 May 2013

Ford looks to be working on a new SUV version of its global Ranger pickup truck. An early prototype of a seven-passenger SUV based on the Ranger has been spotted testing in Australia, and word has it buyers in the region could expect to see the model in showrooms as soon as 2014, where it could sail under the Endeavour or Everest badges. Ford Australia currently sells the Territory SUV, so there's some chance that this model could be a successor to that throne, as well.
Whatever it's called, the long-roof Ranger will feature a shorter wheelbase and more ground clearance than its pickup twin, giving the machine a bit more off-road functionality. (And here we thought we couldn't want the global Ranger any more than we already do.) While this particular vehicle sports a Territory back half grafted onto a Ranger front end, odds are a public reveal of the finished product could occur as soon as the second half of 2014, making it a 2015 model. Head over to Carsguide.com.au for a closer look.

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a track-day weapon with 500 hp

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Ford promises more than 500 horsepower and a torque peak above 400 lb-ft.
The wait is finally over. After months of spy shots, rumor and innuendo, Ford has officially pulled the wraps off its new Shelby GT350. Judging by the spec sheet and the promises being made - especially that the Shelby GT350 will be "an all-day track car that's also street legal" - the wait appears to have been worth it.
