1954 Ford Crestline Victoria 428 Cobra on 2040-cars
Barboursville, West Virginia, United States
|
I am 72 years old. I did have 5 old cars, now I have 3 and want to get down to 1. I did like to tinker with cars now I would rather play golf. Interior is excellent. I have been told the front seats and console are out of a Thunder Bird but don't know that for sure. Speedometer is about 8-10 miles off because of 3:90gears installed last year. New Gauges except fuel gauge. The original fuel gauge is fine. Exterior is a 10-15 foot car. Up close has a few bad spots to close to see in pictures. Left front trim needs replaced. I have a like new one that I have not installed. Trim and chrome looks good. I had the rear bumper re-chromed. There is an electric popper for the trunk. Engine is a 428 Cobra. There is a list of things I have done to the engine in the last few miles. Transmission - C6 Rear end I have been told is from a pickup truck. It had 2:73 gears I hade them changed to 3:90 gears, New Carburetor, New Valve Springs, Electronic Distributor, Power steering pump sent off and rebuilt, new starter, new fuel pump, new Griffith aluminum radiator, new battery. New heating and cooling unit cost $2,400 last year. I added power brakes, disc in the front, drum in the back. New Mufflers and Tale pipes. New Front tires and new tubes in rear. car has very wide Mickey Thompson tires in the rear. I have a new set of normal size chrome rims for rear. If you want normal size tires. Problems: Passenger side door window is cracked Radio/cassette player work fine as long as you don't turn it off. If turned off it takes a while for it to turn back on. Biggest problem now is that to install heating and cooling unit the installer had to remove the fan blade and install an electric fan. I think it needs a more powerful fan because it runs about 210 degrees on a hot day. Any other questions call Jim @ 304-638-3934 |

Entry-level F-150 now offers SuperCrew, Sport Package
Thu, 29 Aug 2013Ford has made a few notable tweaks to the lower end of its F-150 lineup, giving customers a more affordable version of the four-door SuperCrew body style. The popular SuperCrew could previously only be had on XLT models and above, but Ford has announced that 2014 F-150s with the base STX trim can get the more versatile body.
The STX SuperCrew brings the price of a four-door F-150 down from $34,525 to $33,145. Like the XLT SuperCrew, the STX will be available with the choice of a 5.5- or 6.5-foot bed, while a 5.0-liter V8 can replace the base 3.7-liter V6 for $4,425. Ford has not released pricing on the different bed lengths yet, but opting for the 6.5-foot bed on the XLT raises the price $1,240 and forces buyers into the 5.0-liter V8. We'd expect a similar arrangement on the STX.
The other big news for fans of affordable pickups is the addition of an STX Sport Package on the base-level truck. It adds 20-inch wheels, black exterior accents, black-and-gray cloth seats and decals on the truck's box. The Sport Package is available on all three of the STX's body styles, with Ford listing the price as $980 with current discounts.
Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo
Sun, 27 Apr 2014When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.
Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.
