THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!   ATRUE COBRA WITH A 428CJ AND RAM AIR!

1969 TORINO COBRA RAM AIR 428CJ SPORTSROOF (FASTBACK)

 They actuuly just sold these cars as Cobras, but most know them as torino cobras.

This is a factory R code (ram air) with factory bucket seats factory C6 Transmission. This is a very solid car. I would call it a survivor , as it has not been restored completely. This is a great opportunity to own a Factory Big Block Muscle Car at a low price. This is not rusted and is very cool driven as is. The patina is something that is very desirable these days like you see on Fast N Loud. I have been driving it like this for months and I get looks and thumbs up everywhere I go. It certainly is deserving of new paint if you so desire. The quarters, doors and fenders all are rust free with no sign of bubbling or signs of pior rust repair. There are signs of normal dings and scrapes of a 44 year old car. Compared to most this would be an easy and straight forward repaint. There is a  tiny bit of rust on the original truck lid and that is it. The other areas these cars seem to suffer are all in EXCELLENT condition. The floors, frame rails, torque boxes and fender aprons, rockers are all in great condition. The interior is in EXCELLENT condition as well. The Factory bucket seats are new, the dash pad excellent, carpet, excellent. ALL lights work even directional lights in hood scoop, original  factory AM radio works with heater, blower, all gauges, original horns work steering wheel and horn rim  glove box dash lights all work. It has the proper interior door panels great shape remote mirror that works back seat perfect package tray has the factory speaker grills. The only thing the interior does not have is the headliner. (I have it but I never installed it because I think it looks cool without it. (again "Fast N Loud" ish The dome light is there and works.

This is an "R" code 428 Cobra Jet car as per the VIN and Marti Report As such it came from factory Equipped with Ram Air The snorkel, Flapper, seal are all there and in excellent condition. The 428 CJ runs excellent and has been rebuilt. It has a lot of torque! The valve covers were pulled for inspection the valve springs appear to be new, it has a larger cam in it and has a nice lope to the idle. The heads are the correct CJ C8OE-N and the intake manifold is proper C8OE as well. The car currently has older aftermarket headers and exhaust. (I would put on the factory manifolds on myself) you can find them.  The COBRA JET specific C6 Transmission is still equipped with the "R" Servo and Cast Iron Tailshaft Housing. It goes into gear fast and shifts properly. The brakes work well and stops straight. the factory power steering works properly and still has its COBRA JET specific Oil cooler.

This is an honest solid car with  a BIG BLOCK CJ 428. It runs excellent and drives well. this car is worthy of any time and investment you choose to make and will reward you with some serious value when you are done. Look at the NADA value!

I bought this car several months ago I drove it and drive it often. It is very cool. I worked on the interior and the ram air and had a blast with it. I should hold on to it, tinker with it  maybe paint it and be happy. But that is not what I do! I will let someone else do what they want and I will move on to something else. It really is cool! This car has spent it life on the West coast it was sold to a dealer in OR I bought it and had it shipped from Washington State.

In the pictures you will see the right front fender had some body work in the front and the trim is missing. I got the proper fender with the trim piece and directional light. I did not put it on the car  It will go with the car to the new owner. Very reasonable price for what this car is. Buy it have fun with it and watch the value go up. Ask me any questions. It will sell to the highest bidder after my starting bid.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost

Fri, 09 May 2014

I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.

Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton ­similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."

Mulally confirms he's not leaving Ford for Microsoft

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

In recent months, rumors had been flying about Ford CEO Alan Mulally potentially leaving the company to take a position at Microsoft. Last we heard, Mulally was planning to stick around at Ford through at least 2014, and in an interview today, that bit was confirmed by the CEO himself.
According to the Associated Press, in a report from The Detroit News, Mulally said he will not be leaving Ford for Microsoft, and reiterated that he will remain at the Blue Oval through 2014, if not longer. Mulally has "no plans other than to serve Ford," according to the report.
Mulally did not say whether or not he had been in talks with Microsoft at any point. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said he plans to leave the software company sometime this year.
