up for sale is this groovy 1967 Ford Falcon Club Wagon window van. It's the same as a 1961 to 1967 Ford Econoline van but the club wagons came with cool interior window trim, which this one has all of and it's all in good condition in white. This van allegedly started life as a yellow school bus in Minnesota but was painted brown at some point. The van ran good when I got it but I still had the radiator recored, installed new brakes, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, battery, 4 brand new tires, and more. This van is a dependable daily driver that gets good gas mileage and is fun to drive. Everything works except the dash lights. I've not looked into it because I don't drive it at night often. It's a blast to drive but because of the way it's geared it only likes to do about 65mph, but it gets there much faster than you'd think. It's got barn doors on the passenger side and in back and pop out windows on both sides which is nice. The drivers side window is frozen and doesn't currently roll down. It needs to be hit with some PB Blaster or something to loosen it up. The van has typical rust around the bottom and it's much worse on the drivers side but I just ordered and recieved the entire driver's side of patch panels from MAC's Antique Truck parts and those $450 worth of panels are INCLUDED IN THE SALE of the van. It's fine to drive the way it is though. There are no rear seats in the van and the front seats are believed to be high back bucket seats from a 1969 Mustang Mach 1. I like them. they are period correct and have a higher more comfortable back than the factory seats.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt
Tue, 25 Mar 2014It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.
NHTSA opens investigation into Ford Explorer PI brakes
Wed, 27 Aug 2014This year more than most, it's pleasant when we can string together a few days without word of an automaker or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing a bunch of new recalls. It's seemingly been a little quiet on this front lately (barring a spider-related Suzuki issue revealed early today), but now we have word of the government safety agency opening a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2013 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, a probe that could potentially affect an estimated 20,000 vehicles.
The issue being investigated concerns failures of the front brake hose on the vehicle that show "small splits in the hoses near the body side ferrule of the hose assembly," according to the agency, and the issue could result in longer stopping distances. The feds have reports of 13 malfunctions affecting 11 Explorer units. However, it's important to note that all of the incidents come from a single, unnamed metropolitan police fleet that operates 46 of them. According to The Detroit News, the failures generally took place between December and July.
NHTSA is investigating further to find if this is a more widespread issue than just this one fleet. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker confirmed to us, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the agency's report.
How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be
Fri, 20 Sep 2013Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.
