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:

2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.
Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters
Sun, 28 Sep 2014The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.
