Here for your consideration is a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 in the rare Candy Apple Red exterior with Red interior combination. It is equipped with a great running "M" code 351 4V engine and the infamous toploader 4-speed transmission. It also has power steering, power disc brakes, factory tachometer, and fold down rear seat. As you can see from the photos, this car is very original and unaltered under the hood. The carb is the original 4300 and works great with no leaks. It can set for months at a time and cranks easily. This car is running and driving quite well now. I drive it locally. When I got the car, the only major component not working was the charging system. I installed a voltage regulator and alternator and it performs flawlessly now. The power steering operates smoothly as do the power brakes. It has a Hurst shifter in place of the original. This car needs a complete restoration, but since you can drive the car, you know that the mechanicals are all good and working. It has the typical Mustang rust issues to be addressed as follows: floor pan repair, lower door corners, taillight panel, trunk dropoffs, lower door corners, lower quarters behind wheels. The torque boxes are solid on the bottoms with only the ends needing to be fixed. Front frame rails are good, right rear rail is good, left rail has a bit of swelling that needs to be fixed, but is not bad enough to affect safety of driving the car. The pictures should give you a good idea of the condition of this car. This Mach 1, with it's rare color combo is definitely worth the time and effort required to restore. It is a car that you can also enjoy while you restore it. The original Mach 1 14" wheels were on the car when I got it, but the tires were bad, so I put these 15" Magnum 500 wheels with BF Goodrich radials on it to drive. You can have either set of tires and wheels, but only one set is included with the auction. Here is the door data tag information:

Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Ford Mondeo Hybrid could beat unloved diesels in Europe
Wed, Feb 11 2015Predicting changes in the European auto market isn't easy, and Ford is hedging its bets there with the introduction of the Mondeo Hybrid. The Blue Oval has no expectation of the electrified version of the sedan being a rollicking sales success, but the model is a fuel-efficient alternative in case the recent backlash against diesel turns into an outright ban somewhere. This is the first time Ford is selling a hybrid version of the Mondeo (a cousin to the Fusion in the US) in Europe. The vehicle pairs a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder with a 1.4-kWh battery pack to make a total of 185 horsepower and emit 99 grams per kilometer of CO2. The Blue Oval expects to sell around 100,000 units of all versions of the sedan annually there, according to Automotive News Europe. However, fewer than 5,000 of those are predicted to be the gas-electric model. "Legislation around Europe is so different it's very difficult to predict," Roelant de Waard, Ford of Europe sales boss, said to ANE. "If you're betting only on one horse you might be lucky, but you also may be very unlucky." Ford is probably smart to have alternatives ready, and it also already offers the Focus Electric and hybrid C-Max there. Governments in Europe are rapidly turning against diesel, especially in France. The country considered offering buyers 10,000 euros ($11,300) if they trade in an old oil-burner on a new electric vehicle, and the prime minister calls backing the fuel for so long a mistake. The UK's Labour Party is making similar declarations.

Ford supports bid for Detroit Rallycross race with Motown-minded Fiesta ST vid
Mon, 01 Jul 2013As Ford continues its cheerleading effort to help bring the 2014 Summer X Games to its hometown of Detroit, MI, it has released footage of its 2014 Fiesta ST Rallycross car on location at some of the city's well-known landmarks. This video appears to have been shot around the same time as the previous X Games Detroit video was made, but it focuses 100-percent on rally car action.
With Ford Racing driver Andreas Eriksson behind the wheel, this Fiesta ST lays down some serious rubber atop Detroit's Cobo Hall parking structure, at Belle Isle and around the Michigan Central Depot. Detroit isn't alone in the bid for a three-year X Games contract as Chicago, Austin and Charlotte are also hoping to play host. The winning host city is expected to be announced this summer. Scroll down for Ford's two-minute video showing the Fiesta ST Rallycrossing through the Motor City.
