Nice chance to get one of Fords classic muscle cars the Fairlane 428 SCJ Cobra Jet in the formal roof model. Very had to come by as there were few formal roof cars made, and even fewer with the 428 SCJ engine and options all sitting on a set of hard to find FATBOY 14's on Cragar rims. Lowest price genuine "R" Code 428 SCJ on EBAY
Car had been sitting for several years , so we took the engine apart to do a rebuild. Crankshaft turned smoothly and is needing only minimal work at the machinist. All other components appear to be there except the radiator and air cleaner. (Can include a correct Fairlane air cleaner/flapper unit for additional $500). C6 Cobrajet transmission with Cast Iron tailshaft and R Servo. Only 34k ORIGINAL miles on this engine so its got quite a long life left. VERY low miles for a car of this age and stature.
Car needs a restore, but good candidate for high $$$ return once completed. The reserve is very affordable with a low BUY IT NOW. The engine alone is worth 2/3 of the BUY IT NOW. We did replace one of the floorpans and added 2 rear patch panels. The original frame rails are overall good with only 2 small spots by the rear leaf spring shackles needing attention....but the rest of the underside is still in good shape. Body needs some attention. Older paint job. Car has the 428 reinforced big block shock towers and mounts. Has the original poverty dish hubcaps. Has original jack and jackstand. All glass in tact.
Engine is original 428 Cobra Jet matching numbers engine and will come back cleaned, with all new gaskets ready to run.. We will place it back in the car for transport before you pickup. All engine numbers match up including the auxiliary pieces. (Waterpump, manifolds, fan etc...) Car has the original 9 inch rear axle with nodular rear end...Even has the original Blue Owner card issued to original owner .very desirable features...
Car is sold as-is, how-is with right to inspect. We welcome inspections. Serious bidders only please. NO dealers please. Collectors only. We reserve the right to cancel bids from dealers. We can gladly help with shipping to any of the lower 48, and can also get the best possible price for an overseas buyer also. This is a hard to find collectible SCJ 428 and is easily worth twice the price once restored. We do have this car for sale locally so we reserve the right to remove the car at any time. If you have questions about the car feel free to send us your email or simply call. (We do have 2 other 428 CJ cars from this owners collection that will be auctioned up soon. Please check back)

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year
Fri, 11 Jan 2013With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
Scroll down for more about Ford's planned job growth as well as how to go about applying for said openings.
Ford unveils its facelifted Falcon finale with new XR8
Thu, 24 Jul 2014While its days may be numbered, Ford isn't just going to let its Falcon sedan limp out for the Australian market. No, the Blue Oval is releasing a refreshed Falcon for its final years, and it's lead by this, the new XR8. That's right, this dead-car-driving is going to go out on a high note.
Ford's global design DNA dominates the looks of the new Falcon, with a grille reminiscent of the US market Fusion and the European-market Mondeo. The headlights aren't a straight port, and boast their own unique LED running light pattern (at least on the XR8), but the overall look is strikingly similar. Out back, LED taillights highlight the rear of the Faclon. Despite the substantial new fascia, this is still a mid-cycle refresh. That means most of the rest of the Falcon's body panels are carryovers from the current model.
The XR8 model, shown above, arrives with a supercharged V8, allegedly displacing 5.0 liters. Unfortunately, details on the Falcon's mechanicals are in remarkably short supply. Ford has committed to a range of turbocharged four, as well as turbocharged and naturally aspirated six-cylinders, in addition to the V8, although specifics on those mills aren't available.
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.
