When listing this car previously, I left out a fiberglass console that I had purchased from Dearborn several years ago, but have not yet installed. It is pictured here and will be included with the car. While I have owned several classic cars since my retirement, I upgrade and keep most of them. I do, however, have space limitations which require me to let go of one occasionally. This vehicle has always been stored inside and driven in the summer months to cruise-ins for a total of 3,375 miles in the 10 years I have owned it. Some minor body work and new paint will make this a nice show car. I have done my best to show and describe where body work is needed with the photos. Both rear wheel wells are showing rust where the stainless trim is mounted. The passenger door has bondo cracking where it had been repaired before I bought the car. The following is a list of new items and/or modifications which I have made in the past 10 years: New tail pipes and chrome tips New inside rear view mirror New gauges in dash New tachometor in dash New dome lamp body New wheel opening moldings New power steering valve, left and right outer tie rod ends, idler arm, front end alighment and new tires New door arm rests, both right and left New carpeting New color matched floor mats with Torino logo Installed new Edlebrock 4-barrell manifold and new Holley 600 cfm carburator New tail light lenses New hood lip molding New kick panels New parking light lenses New starter New windshileld wiper pump New power steering hoses Removed automatic transmission and installed Ford toploader 4-speed transmission New flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, Torino pedals, rods, z-brackets and clutch arm Installed new Hurst shifter and new drive shaft Replaced old rear end with 350 positive traction rear end Installed new brake shoes and hoses New coil New Malory Unilite distributor New Fuel Pump New radiator hose set New belts New Griffin aluminum radiator New front and reat Motorcraft gas shocks New Flowmaster mufflers New motor mounts |

2015 Ford Mustang invades SEMA, led by King Cobra
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Ford showcased more than a dozen customized 2015 Mustangs at its sprawling 20,000-square foot display this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center as the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary celebration continued at the SEMA Show.
While Mustangs are always a hot commodity at SEMA, the new generation brought increased attention from the aftermarket, as builders like Galpin Auto Sports, Richard Petty's Garage and Vaughn Gittin Jr. offered their takes on the new 'Stang.
The extensive display included a range of Mustangs from mild to wild, with everything from a 600-plus horsepower King Cobra pictured at the top, to paint-and-wheel packages. The new regal Cobra, which we spied early in our SEMA adventure this year, may not be the replacement for the Cobra Jet as we speculated, but it does seem to point the way forward for the next iteration of a supreme Ford dragster. Fat drag slicks out back make it's reason for being abundantly clear, and for tells us that modded car is good for a 10.97-second quarter-mile run.
Fields 'required' to use private aircraft, could make $5.25M as Ford CEO this year
Thu, 03 Jul 2014Mark Fields' travels on the friendly skies will soon be a relatively personal affair, as the new CEO at Ford will be required to resume air travel via the company's private planes. Fields caught plenty of flak in 2007 for flying on the company's dime to visit his family in Florida. He's since flown commercial.
According to Ford spokesperson Susan Krusel, who spoke to Bloomberg, Fields (pictured above right, with Bill Ford, Jr. at center and Alan Mulally at left) will switch to private travel "for safety and to maximize his availability for company business." In addition to his new travel arrangements, the 53-year-old exec's salary and bonuses have been revealed.
Regulatory filings by Ford revealed that Fields, whose first day in the big chair was July 1, will receive a base salary this year of $1.25 million and he'll be eligible for $3.5 million in bonuses, both of which are lower than Alan Mulally's $2 million salary and $5.88 million in bonuses received last year. That's also lower than General Motors CEO Mary Barra's alleged $1.6-million salary and considerably less than Sergio Marchionne's $3.19-million fixed salary from Fiat. Despite falling short of other CEOs, Fields' new pay still represents a 33-percent increase over his pay as Chief Operating Officer.
Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.
