Offered today is one 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback 428 Cobra Jet R code .First to go was the 57 T bird than the 53 Ford F 100. This car was last as it was
hoped that health improvements would come and enjoyment of this beautiful car would be. As this is a muscle car
Richie is going to stick with his Mustang 04 GT convertible automatic with power steering and AC.
This 1969 Mach 1 was originally sold and driven here on Long Island New York. Always garaged. This Mach 1 has been
driven very little since 1979. Original color is candy apple red with a black interior. This car is very solid. The
mileage is just 94,100. The frame and floors front to back are rock solid as the pictures show. Richie is the third
owner who took possession of this car 15 years ago. A full restoration was always intended. The engine,
transmission and brakes were rebuilt. note it is originally a 3 speed stick now an automatic. The stick pedals are
still in the car. The Mach 1 was driven 500 miles over the next 4 years and than the car was put into storage.
Always fully insured and registered every year. Driven a few miles every year until 2012. After which it had had
been run every year, still the gas went bad in the tank and has been run now out of a gas can. I ran it yesterday
and it is a smooth quiet engine. It has about 500 miles on it!
The original interior has a beautiful headliner, original seats are still looking good. The red insert carpets
have to be cleaned but always had floor mats protecting them and still look really nice. The original door panels
are in great shape too, with minor cracks on the drivers side. The seat belts are present with bright brass rollers
and very nice plastic covers. This car is a perfect candidate for a survivor /driver. OR a most perfect foundation
for a top concourse restoration as it is very original.
The engine was rebuilt and I have pictures of the job. This is a COBRA JET engine. The C6 was rebuilt and
although it has not seen the road lately it does not leak and it goes into gear. The rear brake line is leaking and
prevents the car from being driven. I must say also that the gas in the tank went bad and has been run from an
external gas can. I can replace the tank and repair the brake line if Richie and the new owner want me to.

Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.
Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
