Up For Auction a 1961 Ford Starliner. If you have been looking for a timeless classis to enjoy and tinker with then you have found it.

History: I bought this car out of California after looking for quite some time. Some of the cars I found had rust and others were just too rough so when I founf this car I jumped on it. This car was built in Texas and has a Texas DSO, it has spent the majority of it's life in Texas. The guy I bought it from bought it out of Texas where it was owned by the 2nd owner for many years then brought it to Cali.

Body; the body was in decent condition when I bought it but it was painted orange and not it's original Monte Carlo red. Body wise the rockers were both replaced because they were pushed up and filled with body filler. The trunk floor was replaced because there was some rust in it and the previous repair was done poorly. Lastly both quarter drop downs were repaired by using original parts and welding them in. The floor looks great. The rest of the original sheet metal was in good condition. I had the car repainted it's original color during which all glass was removed and new weather stripes installed. The glass is decent condition but the back glass does have surface scratches. All body gaskets were replaced. The chrome is all there but has little imperfections here and there but overall looks good. The bottom of the car has a thick tar like coating but where I scrapped it off the floor looked like new. All sheet metal lines up decent. I replaced all emblems and few trim parts , pretty much whatever was available new.

Interior; The interior was in nice condition when I bought the car . The seats were already redone in black vinyl. The door panels are new and look great. I replaced the carpet and package tray. I removed the dash and had it repainted. I also replaced the dash and engine harness's where it had been spliced in the past. THe gauges work and there is an additional oil and temp gauge installed under the dash. Heater core was replaced. and I also installed a NOS wiper motor and wiper switch .

Drive train: I was told the motor is a 390 but I cant verify that so assume it's a 352. The trans is the original Cruise-matic and the rear is the original 9". The wheels are newly painted 15" steel wheels with new BF Goodrich 234-70-15 tires. The motor has run fine for me and the trans shifts fine but my intension was to replace the engine with a 427 so I didnt really do anything with the drivetrain.

Overview : This is an awesome car and a super platform to drive or build a wonderful classic. Currently my focus has changed so I have decided to sell the car. I have more than the asking price in the car so my loss will be your gain. The paint and body work alone were over 10K. I would love to see someone finish the car the way it deserves to be done or drive and tinker with it as you go. If you want I will change the wheels to the chrome set or if you hit the buy it now I'll give you both sets . Tires are new on both sets. Feel free to call if you have questions 540-538-6302 cell

Ford Fusion getting substantial refresh for 2017

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

It's only been a couple of years since Ford rolled out the current Fusion, but if these spy shots are anything to go by, it's already planning what appears to be a substantial update for the mid-size sedan.
According to our paparazzi on the ground, the new Fusion is being prepared for launch late in 2016 or early 2017. Although heavily camouflaged to keep it from prying eyes such as ours, it appears that the updated Fusion will tone down the Aston Martin-style grille, ditch the small corner window with revised front side glass and tweak the vehicle's overall shape. But there's more to the new Fusion than a styling adjustment, and our spy photographers have caught a glimpse inside and taken us along.
Apparently the new Fusion is to get a completely overhauled interior with soft-touch surfaces and matte wood trim to make it seem more upscale. There's an all-new rotary gear selector (like you'd find on a Jaguar, for example) hinting at the implementation of a new nine-speed automatic transmission. The prototype appears to be packing the Microsoft SYNC system, suggesting that the new Blackberry QNX system isn't ready quite yet - though that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be ready by the time the new Fusion is.

Ford Fiesta ST gets worked out on the track

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

We're big fans of the turbocharged Ford Focus ST, and we're plenty excited that the Blue Oval will be offering a similar treatment on the smaller Fiesta here in the United States, too. We first saw the production-ready Fiesta ST five-door at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, and Ford has now released this video of a Euro-spec three-door ST being flung around the track.
But not just any track - the challenging Track 7 of Ford's Lommel Proving Grounds in Belgium. The course features 20 turns and plenty of elevation changes along its 2.7-mile loop, and David Put, a vehicle dynamic specialist at Ford, shows just how good the pint-sized Fiesta ST is at handling the lot, even getting the smallest ST up on three wheels every now and then.
It sure does look like a lot of fun, and makes us really eager for our chance to try this ourselves. Scroll down to see the hot little Ford getting busy.

Ford starts GoDrive carsharing service in London

Thu, May 28 2015

Automaker-supported carsharing services like BMW's DriveNow and Daimler's Car2Go are already well established in many cities around the world. Ford is no stranger to this business, either, with collaborations with companies like ZipCar in the US and Flinkster in Germany. Now, The Blue Oval is taking a new step by establishing its own dedicated offering in London called GoDrive. The operation is actually the expansion of an earlier 100-person pilot program and allows the automaker to test out ideas on a small scale. GoDrive is now growing to support 2,000 people in London, and they can share 50 vehicles that are scattered around 20 locations in the city. The fleet is split between Focus Electric models and Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoosts. One of the major selling points for the service is that users can take one-way trips through the city and have a guaranteed parking spot at their destination. Like any high-tech service today, much of the user interface for GoDrive works through a smartphone app that allows users to book cars and pay for trips. The driving is covered under an all-inclusive, pay-by-the-minute model, which includes London's congestion charge, and the first five minutes are free. To entice new users, the company is currently offering a free membership and 20 pounds ($31) in credit to sign up. GoDrive's small size also lets it gather and adjust to customer feedback quickly. For example, users reportedly enjoy getting to try out a vehicle with the latest infotainment and safety features. The company is already working on different pricing plans and parking options for the future, as well. The video below shows a little more the service in action.

FORD BRINGS DYNAMIC CAR-SHARING EXPERIMENT TO LONDON; FIRST SERVICE TO OFFER ONE-WAY TRIPS WITH GUARANTEED PARKING Ford will offer Londoners flexible, practical, and affordable GoDrive car-sharing service; invites 2,000 members to register free for service that offers 50 cars across 20 locations GoDrive is unique in offering one-way trips with guaranteed parking. Pay-as-you-go approach with pay-per-minute pricing covers all fees. Drivers book and access cars via smartphone app Zero-emission Focus Electric makes up half of the GoDrive fleet; fuel-efficient Fiesta 1.0-litre EcoBoost available.
