1969 Ford Mustang Sportsroof/ Fastback Q code 428 Mach 1. This beautiful car originally came
with a 428/ C6 automatic trans, AC, Power Steering, and Power Disc Brakes. This car had sat for 15 years in a
garage in pieces before I bought it. I spent many, many hours bringing this car back to life! The original 428 was
just rebuilt, and the C6 was just rebuilt too. I have the receipts for the work done also! The engine was rebuilt
to factory specs, except that I added a mild Comp cam to it. The car runs like a beast! The motor has about 50
miles on it since the car has been finished. The car has a fresh multi stage paint job, and the color is Acapulco
Blue, and the hood black out treatment was painted on, it's not vinyl. Most of the exterior chrome was replaced,
with a few original pieces being polished up. The interior was redone, pretty much top to bottom. The car came from
AZ, so there is NO RUST on the car. The floors look great, torque boxes, inner fenders, and trunk all look great!
The car still has the original sheet metal, with no signs of ever being in an accident! The car has been garage
kept, and taken to a few events. It's not perfect but, its a beautiful car that was loved!
MARTI REPORT: The report indicates that this car is 1 of only 1280 with the 428/ C6 combination. It was a 428 CJ
car with non Ram Air
Engine/ Trans: The original 428 was rebuilt by a shop here in Las Vegas that has been around for 40 years, and has
a warranty. The trans was rebuilt a few months ago also. The engine was bored .030 over, heads were redone, new
comp cam, all new bearings, lifters, and runs great. The crank was a 1U, Heads were C8OE-N heads, the block has the
C on the back, reinforced mains, and I have pictures of these as the engine was assembled. Under the hood are many
new parts like, new water pump, alternator, fuel pump, starter, Edelbrock Carb, radiator, Optima Battery, brake
master cylinder, and tune up stuff. The original Exhaust Manifolds are on the car also, C8OE Factory Headers, those
cost me a pretty penny and they are in great shape with no defects. The car still has the AC heater box, an
compressor but, the other AC items are not on the car, and were removed before I bought the car. The C6 received a
shift kit, and is sealed up nicely. The trans is not original to the car.
Interior/ Exterior: The interior has new carpet, new sound deadener, new seat upholstery, new door panels, new
dash, new headliner, and looks great! The gauges all work on the car, blinkers work, heater/ AC blower motor works.
New weather stripping on the doors, and roof rail too. New end caps for the doors and quarter panels. The windows
roll up and down correctly, doors shut nicely.
The exterior was just repainted to Acapulco Blue, and looks amazing. It was multiple coats of paint and clear coat
with a wet sand and buff to finish the car off. The wheels and tires are brand new, Torque Thrust 2 wheels with BFG
tires. New bumpers, new windshield, new moldings, new antenna, and a few other small new items. Under the car looks
great with new Flowmaster 40 series exhaust, and the car has the correct rear end housing but, the Nodular 3rd
member was not with the car when I bought it. It has 3:23 gears in the rear, and the pinon seal was replaced after
I had the unit inspected.

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines
Fri, 25 Oct 2013The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.
Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.
Ford Fiesta ST orders off to strong start
Fri, 17 May 2013We at Autoblog love the new little Ford Fiesta ST, and apparently, folks in Europe are pretty impressed with it, as well. According to Ford, the automaker's European arm has already logged 3,000 orders for the new hot hatch since it hit dealerships this March. The US-spec car, which will only be available as a five-door, will go on sale in the United States this summer.
What's perhaps most interesting about the Fiesta ST ordering is that the majority of customers appear to be ordering high-spec cars. According to Ford data, 60 percent of customers have opted for the leather interior with Recaro buckets, and 90 percent have selected the upgraded 17-inch wheels (seen on our test car, above). Spirit Blue has been the most popular color, commanding 27 percent of all orders. As for the technology upgrades, 19 percent of customers have ponied up for the Sony stereo with navigation.
To recap, the Fiesta ST is offered with Ford's 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, putting out 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. We had an absolute blast flinging the hot Fiesta through the French Alps, and we can't wait for this sharp little hatch to make its way over to the States.
