THIS IS A SOLID CAR I PURCHASED A YEAR AGO FROM A GUY WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A FRIEND THAT HAD THE CAR IN STORAGE SINCE 1972 AND FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH IT SEEMED BELIEVABLE. THE CAR HAD THE WRONG CARB ON IT AND STILL HAD GRASS IN THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT FENDER WHEN I BOUGHT IT. IT'S A CANADIAN BUILT CAR THAT WAS SOLD IN AND REMAINED IN NEW HAMPSHIRE ALL THIS TIME. THE CAR IS VERY SOLID (MINUS FRONT DRIVERS FENDER AND A VERY MINOR SPOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRAME (NOT STRUCTURAL AND WHICH STILL HAS SOME DIRT WHICH NEEDS TO BE BLOWN OUT OF IT. I SWITCHED THE CARB FOR A THUNDER SERIES (I'LL INCLUDE JET KIT) CHANGED THE FLUIDS,NEW EXHAUST, SENDING UNITS (GAS AND TEMP) GOT THE DASH LIGHTS GOING, NEW RIMS AND TIRES, BRAKES, NEW DISTRIBUTER PLUGS, WIRES ETC. NEW GAS TANK, BRAKES, BRAKE LINES, CLOCK STILL TICKS (BUT DOESEN'T KEEP PROPER TIME) RADIO DOESN'T WORK, INTERIOR LIGHTS WORK AS DOES HEAT AND DEFROST. HEADLINER THREAD GAVE OUT WITH WINDOWS DOWN THIS SPRING (SEE PICS) RADIATOR EXPANSION TANK NEEDS TOPPING OFF (LEAKS) BUT COULD BE BRAZED OR REPLACED, BRIGHTWORK IS EXCELLENT AND APPEARS TO HAVE ONE REPAINT WHICH IS DULL BUT COULD BE BUFFED OUT. I'VE LEFT THE PAINT ALONE BECAUSE I ENJOY THE ORIGINALITY OF THE CAR. ENGINE SHOWS A REBUILD TAG BY PRECISION ENGINEERING OF CANADA. DOORS, TRUNK AND HOOD SHUT LIKE THE DAY IT WAS BUILT!! CRUISE-O-MATIC MAY NEED A REBUILD AS IT STUMBLED OFF A STOP FOR THE 1ST TIME LAST WEEK. (I'LL LOOK IN TO IT THIS WEEK). COLUMN SHIFT IS A LITTLE SLOPPY AND CAR HAS ALWAYS STARTED IN 2ND UNLESS MANUALLY PUT IN 1ST (EVEN IN D2). I LOVE THE CAR AND HAVE ENJOYED GETTING ICE CREAM AND GOING TO SHOWS WITH MY DAUGHTER, BUT RECENTLY PURCHASED A 63 WITH A 4SPEED AND CAN'T KEEP BOTH. THIS CAR ALSO HAS A SWING-AWAY (LESS THAN 2% OF GALAXIE'S HAVE THIS STEERING OPTION) AND 390FE. I HAVE $10000.00 IN TO THE CAR. I WILL SELL AT A FAIR PRICE BELOW THAT WITH "STUMBLE" FIXED OR NOT, DEPENDING ON BUYER. NEEDED TO LIST NOW BECAUSE '63 IS ON THE WAY!!! PLEASE CONTACT WITH ANY QUESTIONS! Forgot to mention I have the 14" rims and original distributer and brake booster. Also if they fit on the car I could be willing to throw in two spare front fenders I have off a 64 wagon and a 500 64 Galaxie.I'll revise again and switch pics when I get news on tranny or whatever the noise was. 8/26/14- talked to my mechanic yesterday who said "just drive it". This was the first transmission oil change and he thought it could just be cleaning out and that we should change again after driving for a while. Also said rear end was fluid was probably original when he changed it. I drove 60 miles today without any issues. That's it for now.

Ford sticking with manuals for RS models

Wed, Feb 4 2015

Traditional stick-shift gearboxes may be losing ground quickly to dual-clutch transmissions, but Ford knows what hot hatch enthusiasts want. That's why it's sticking with manual transmissions on its RS models for the foreseeable future. The Blue Oval automaker caught our attention yesterday when it revealed the new Focus RS, packing an upgraded version of the turbo four from the Mustang, a trick new all-wheel-drive system and an old-school six-speed manual. After speaking to Ford's product chief Raj Nair at the hot hatch's launch, Autocar reports that the six-speed is here to stay. "All our current research says that customers really like these kinds of cars to have a manual gearbox," Nair told the British publication. "We'll keep looking at market trends, and of course we'll give customers what they want, but for now the manual stays." Autocar further suggests that the same principle will apply to any further Rallye Sport models, so if and when a Fiesta RS rolls around, it's likely it will stick with a stick as well. Although the less potent Focus ST is offered in diesel and wagon forms overseas, wherever it's sold and in whatever form, the six-speed stays a constant in that model as well, just as it does in the smaller Fiesta ST. That doesn't mean that other Ford Performance models won't go without a clutch pedal, though. The new GT employs a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and the new F-150 Raptor channels its muscle through a ten-speed automatic. But as far as Ford's hot hatches go, it looks like the manual will remain alive and well.

2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.
