1968 Fastback Ford Fairlane/torino on 2040-cars
Upatoi, Georgia, United States
|
This 1968 Fairlane is not perfect but it is a very nice weekend cruiser. I just completed working on this car. I spent two years bringing her back to life. She is a Factory AC Car with a freshly rebuilt 302 roller motor. It has a Trick Flow Stage one roller camshaft, Crane 1.7 roller rockers and GT 40 heads. Automatic was on Colum but now has a B&M floor shifter. C4 tranny with a 2000 stall converter with a custom built driveshaft attaching to a 4:11 8 inch posi traction rear end. The differential has clutches not a mini spool so she turns and drives as modern performance cars. New headliner, seat upholstery and carpet. Black interior. This car was just painted original 1968 Ford green ( it has a few small scratches /blemishes but it looks pretty darn good. Under car is VERY CLEAN. All pans, rails, torque boxes etc are original and nearly perfect! You just don't find a car that is rust free like this one very often. New chrome for front and rear bumpers and the trim is all there. Trim isn't perfect but it looks really good; the worst is the. The diff is new, motor is new, driveshaft is new, carpet is new, headliner is new, seat upholstery is new, bumpers both front and rear just triple chromed. The duel exhaust and headers are new, tires and rims are used but great shape factory correct except they have the Torino GT Emblems on them, the dash is a 9 out of 10. Also flushed fuel cell and installed new pick up tube. This was a 289 car but had a rod thru the block. I have a lot of time and money in this car. My price is far below what's been put in it; come take her home for Christmas. Drive her anywhere but remember she is geared for local cruising. AC system is all there but I have not attempted to charge it. One of the cables that control heat/cool is frozen up. This car does have power steering and works great. Overall this is a nice car that is fun to drive around on weekends and just cruising the neighborhood. She's got a little pep to her as well probably in the ball park of high 12s in the 1/4 mile.

2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]
Sat, 28 Jun 2014When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."

Thu, 01 May 2014We've heard rumblings of a changing of the guard at Ford, and this live stream from The Blue Oval itself is set to confirm the rumors: Alan Mulally will be succeeded by the automaker's current Chief Operating Officer, Mark Fields.
Mulally, who is 68 years old, has served at the head of Ford for eight years, and his official retirement date will be July 1st, 2014. Fields, who is 53 this year, has been with Ford for 25 years and has been groomed to take the helm from Mulally for the last several of those years.
There's an official press release that you can read, but if you're more of a visual person, you're welcome to watch the live video feed of the announcement down below.
Ford builds USAF Thunderbirds Edition Mustang for charity
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Each year since 2008, Ford has created a one-off Mustang to celebrate military aviation, and the cars have been auctioned off at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles charity event to raise money to inspire the next generation of aviators. This year's charity car is the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, which also helps celebrate 60 years of Thunderbirds air show excellence.
Of all the EAA charity cars, this Thunderbirds Edition is the most in depth. Painted to match the F-16 Tomcat fighter jets used by Thunderbirds, this Mustang also gets a widebody kit and 22-inch Forgiato wheels to go with the cockpit's Recaro bucket seats, rear-seat delete and modified navigation screen and gauge cluster. Even the Mustang's projector puddle lights have been changed to show an aircraft silhouette - rather than the Mustang's galloping horse logo - when the doors are open.
Themes for previous EAA charity cars include the Blue Angels, SR-71 Blackbird and the Red Tails as well as the F-22 Raptor-inspired AV8R and AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" models. Scroll down for the press release for the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, and be sure to check out our galleries for all six aviation-themed Mustangs.
