For sale is my nice 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback.  As you can see from the photos it has a Boss 429 appearance to it that always draws lots of positive comments.  

Body: The body is 100% original Ford metal.  There has been no rust repair.  The lower front valance was replaced with a NOS piece by the previous owner, other than that, it looks to be all factory metal.  There is no rust in the doors, floors, quarters, or any of those typical rust areas on these cars.  Since this is an unmolested body, the car drives very solid.  Door gaps are all nice, just a solid car.

Suspension: I have replaced the front springs and shocks with factory replacement units from Eaton Detroit Springs specific for a 1970 Mach 1 with a 351C.  I feel this car has a balanced ride, not too soft, yet not too hard and aggressive.

Steering: The steering linkage is tight, the car does not wander going down the road or the interstate.

Wheels and Tires: Brand new 15x8 Magnum 500s and BFGoodrich Tires, same size all the way around for a nice aggressive stance.

Engine: 351C 4V with an Offenhauser aluminum intake and Hooker headers.  This is the best starting muscle car I have ever owned.  Turn the key and it fires, very dependable.  The engine runs strong but I would classify it as a mild street performance build by the previous owner.  Good oil pressure.  I have always used 100% synthetic Valvoline oil and Wix filters from CarQuest with good results.  It does not run hot but there is an auxiliary electric fan that you can turn on and off from inside the car should you feel it necessary.  I have not needed to use it.  There is a new one wire PowerMaster alternator on the car.  It puts out over 110 amps so it can easily power anything you want to add to the car within reason.  Flowmaster mufflers are under the car but they are not loud and obnoxious.

Transmission: T5 Ford 5 speed with cable clutch linkage.  New flywheel, clutch disc, and throw out bearing.  First gear is perfect for getting around a parking lot or show field without having to finesse the clutch.  Of course, 5th gear is perfect out on the interstate to keep the revs down and your gas mileage up.  This car was built to be a driver, and a good one at that.  Very pleasurable to drive.  I would recommend replacing the rear tail shaft seal as it does leak.

Interior: The seats were recovered by the previous owner and I have to admit that they are very, very nice.  Super comfortable to sit in.  The dash pad is in good shape.  I installed the restored rim blow steering wheel (expensive) and I think it is of show quality.  It does have the deluxe interior woodgrain gauge cluster with the clock delete passenger side panel.  This creates a nice appearance in my opinion.  The Philco AM radio is in the car and it has a new speaker under the dash.  The radio worked last summer but it did not want to play this summer.  It has received new carpet and underlayment.

Extra Parts: There are some extra parts that I have accumulated over the years that will go with this car.  Most notable is a lower metal A/C dash unit.  I kept it in case I ever wanted to add A/C but yet keep the factory look for the interior.  There is a car cover that will go with the car.

I'm not trying to brag, but I have been very fortunate in that in the past I have been able to own a '69 Mach 1, 2 428CJ 1970 Mach 1s, and 3 Boss 302s.  I am 100% honest when I say I have had more enjoyment driving this Fastback that I did out of any of the previous high dollar cars.  I think you can tell from my description that this car is a nice driver that you can take to any show or cruise in, but it is not going to take the trophy away from any concourse restoration.  Unfortunately a move out of state forces the sale.

The car is available for inspection with an appointment.  $500 deposit thru PayPal due within 3 days of close of the auction.  Balance due as cash at time of pick up or wire transfer before car is picked up.  Feel free to email me with any questions.  If you would like to speak on the phone, please give me your phone number and I will give you a call.  Thank you.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.

Ford and Lincoln owners can personalize their Alexa commands

Sat, Apr 9 2022

Ford and Lincoln owners whose vehicles have hands-free access to Alexa don't have to stick to using standard voice commands if they don't want to. The automaker has rolled out enhanced Car Control capabilities, and with it comes the option to teach Alexa commands that reflect their natural way of speaking. For example, they can program in "Alexa, I'm cold," and then teach the voice assistant to respond by asking what course of action it should take, such as "I can increase the temperature by 5 degrees or turn off the AC. What should I do?" Another example of a personalized phrase would be: "Alexa, set the AC to full blast." The assistant can then ask the owner what they mean by "full blast." Training Alexa to respond to personalized phrases is made possible by the assistant's teachable AI technology. All vehicles with Alexa Built-in will get access to enhanced Car Control when it becomes available to them. At the moment, the models with access to the hands-free experience are the 2022 F-150, Bronco, Mustang Mach-E, Edge, the new Expedition, Lincoln Nautilus and revised 2022 Lincoln Navigator. The long-awaited 2022 F-150 Lightning will also come with the capability when it launches. Ford debuted the hands-free Alexa capability for its vehicles last year, marking the beginning of its six-year partnership with Amazon. As part of that partnership, it's giving its customers complimentary access to Alexa for up to three years that begin on the new vehicle's warranty start date. Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment
