I saved this little diamond from a mad scientist gear head sorta guy! This little car was "restored" when it was still a 6 banger 3 spd papaw car, then it passed into the hands of a "fabricator" who cut the entire stock front suspension out of it and attempted to install a fox body mustang front, rear, and drive train in it. It sat unfinished for several years until it was swapped to a local junkyard for an engine. Then a fellow motorhead rescued it from the jaws of the crusher and made plans to slice and dice it. I talked him into letting me swap a fistful of dead kiteflyers for it.... and here we are! The front rails have been repaired with boxed tubing and is ready for an IFS. the rear still has the OEM leafs in place. When this lil car received its original facelift it got NEW bumpers (fr & rr) NEW weatherstripping, NEW paint, NEW windshield, NEW interior. All the cosmetics are good. it simply needs the giddy-up-go parts. Now I DO have a fresh 1970 460 w/dove heads, a T-5 tranny, Ladder bar kit and coilovers, and a set of American Racing Torque Thrust D's 17x9.5's and 17x6's with new z rated tires that is NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION! All of which can be PURCHASED POST AUCTION. Then all you need is a mustang II IFS and a 9"...... and of course some glue! Im selling this car as-is where-is. I fully expect the winning bidder to pick this up in East TN. I have equipment and the ability to load it onto your trailer without damaging the car. I have so many projects, Im a lifetime behind, thats the only reason Im letting it go. It would make a great pro touring or even a gasser if you must. I am more than willing to provide any information that will allow a bidder to make a well informed intelligent decision. Please ask any questions you might have. The winning bidder will be required to make a deposit of $1000.00 thru paypal @ the end of the auction with the balance due in cash or certified funds upon pick up. If you have a boatload of neg feedback you need to contact me before bidding. Thanks for viewing my auction and good luck! |

Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.
Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
Ford confirms 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine for 2014 Fusion
Thu, 11 Apr 2013Earlier this week, reports were swirling 'round the internet about the 2014 Ford Fusion getting a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. That was... half correct. Ford today confirmed that the 2014 Fusion is, in fact, getting a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost mill, but it has four cylinders, not three.
The new 1.5-liter engine will be the fifth EcoBoost powerplant from Ford Motor Company. Initially to be built at the automaker's Craiova, Romania plant, it will also be offered in the Fusion's twin, the Mondeo, in other markets. This engine will debut at the Shanghai Motor Show next month, and the 1.5-liter is of particular importance in the Chinese market - there is significant tax relief in the People's Republic for vehicles powered by engines with a capacity of 1.5 liters or less.
At a media briefing Thursday, Ford declined to divulge exact power or fuel economy numbers, though Joe Bakaj, vice president of powertrain engineering, told Autoblog that power output should be similar to that of the current 1.6-liter inline-four, and that overall efficiency will be "better than the 1.6." Our earlier report stated that the 1.5-liter four will produce 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque - losses of 1 hp and 7 lb-ft versus the 1.6-liter engine. Ford states that the 1.5-liter four will feature many of the same technologies used on the company's 1.0-liter EcoBoost inline-three, including an integrated exhaust manifold that recaptures much of the engine's heat.
