This is a '59 Ford Ranch Wagon. This thing is a real head turner! Runs and drives good. Sounds good too. I bought it mostly restored (meaning body work, paint, motor, trans and partial interior work already done). The car used to have a flat head six in it but now it has a 1968 302ci Boss motor with a 4 Speed manual trans. This is my baby and I hate to get rid of her but she's got to go because we need the money.

The following is a list of things done to the car just before I purchased it...

1. Fresh body work & paint job
2. Rebuilt '68 302 Boss V8 Engine (I've only put 2,500 miles on it!)
3. 4 Speed Manual Trans (clutch replaced too)
4. Full Dual exhaust with cherry bombs
5. Hooker headers
6. Blue Tip Cragar Rims
7. Carpet and Headliner replaced
8. Hood Scoop
9. Full set of gauges (Oil pressure, water temp and voltage)

This a list of things I've recently done to the car...

1. New Tires
2. New Battery
3. New Front Breaks & Wheel Cylinders
4. New Champion 5 Core Radiator
5. New Overflow bottle
6. New Ooga Horn
7. New Steering Wheel
8. New Fuel Pump and Line
9. New rear seat belts (for the kids!)
10. Complete Tune Up
11. New Tail Light Lenses
12. New Rear view mirror
13. New Turn signal unit
14. All Fluids changed regularly

Miles: 35,268 (That's what the odometer says but I'm guessing it has flipped.)

NOTE: Also comes with the Rear Fender / Wheel Skirts, Original Steering Wheel, Original Horns, Original Radiator, New (still in the box) Electric Radiator Fan with auto thermostat controller and extra New Tail Light Lenses too. (not shown in photos)

Price: $7,500 or best offer.

Ford to build Explorer in Russia to meet demand [w/video]

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will build Russian-market Explorers only, and production of export vehicles not destined for Russian buyers will continue to be built at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.
Before this plant went online, Ford would ship Explorers to Russia (and other regions around the world) as partially assembled knock-down units where final assembly would eventually take place. While there is no indication as to how many Explorers Ford Sollers will build for Russia, Ford did add that exports of the SUV were up 65 percent last year (from 2011) accounting for more than 24,000 units.
Scroll down for a press release about the Russian Explorer as well as a video (bad music and all) showing the SUV being produced in Tatarstan.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.
