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.

Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks

Sun, 25 May 2014

Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.

Ford recalling 390,000 cars over door latch woes

Fri, Apr 24 2015

Ford is recalling certain Fiesta, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles due to faulty door latches, marking the latest in what seems to be a recurring issue for the Blue Oval. This is the third door latch recall from Ford in 2015, following a 213,000-unit recall in March and a 205,000-unit recall in January. This one, however, is significantly larger. A total of 390,000 units are affected, including Fusions and MKZs from model years 2013 and 2014, as well as Fiestas from model years 2012 to 2014. A "broken pawl spring tab" is the culprit, potentially keeping doors from latching shut. According to Ford, even if the door does shut, it could come open again without warning. The affected Fiestas were built between February 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013 at the Cuautitlan, Mexico factory. The Fusion and MKZ siblings, meanwhile, were screwed together at Hermosillo Assembly in Mexico between July 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013. Ford is aware of three minor reports of door malfunctions. In two cases, the door bounced back open, quite literally hitting drivers on their way out. In the third case, a door swung open of its own accord while a driver was attempting to park, hitting another vehicle. Ford will notify owners, who will need to report into dealers to have all four latches replaced. Scroll down for the official press release. Related Video: APR 24, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA FOR DOOR LATCH ISSUE ON FORD FIESTA AND FUSION, LINCOLN MKZ Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 390,000 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta and 2013-2014 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles for a door latch issue. The door latch in these vehicles may experience a broken pawl spring tab, which typically results in a condition where the door will not latch. If a customer is then able to latch the door, there is potential the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is aware of two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when an unlatched door swung open and struck an adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space. Affected vehicles include certain 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlan Assembly Plant, Feb.

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford 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.
