This classic was discovered in a barn from the Midwest, it was stored for about 20 years. This is a great opportunity for the person who wants to drive a true classic muscle car, before starting a possible restoration. , It is all original Candyapple  Ford Red with a repaint over 25 years ago.  I think the only things aren't original are the steering wheel, front fiberglass bumper and air cleaner. I put a lot of work to get it running and drivable.  However  it is not road worthy, partially due to the rear drum brakes not working.  It will definitely be able to get on and off a trailer.This appears to be the original 351 Windsor, and it runs strong with no blowing oil.  I think it has a bigger cam.  One RARE item on this is the "Buddy Bar" aluminum intake manifold #C90X-9424-A, if you don't know, please research this NASCAR icon $$$$.  Simply put this manifold was used with Shelby back in the day.... This is the real deal.....look at the pic. The original interior which is RARE, having a bucket seat with console, the condition is remarkable.  There weren't  many made, most have a bench seat.  It has a 9", 3:00 ratio rear end.   The extra options were the FMX automatic trans and front DISC BRAKES!  It also has the argent steel wheels with emblems.  I have the "Marti Report" to back all of this, see pic.  The worst rust is on the front portion, left and right floor.  Partial rear frame rails seen in the trunk, and some of the panels.  Again look at the pics. The L&R door windows are off the track.  All the glass is in excellent shape.  All trim is good as well.  The headliner is loose.  The hood scoop is awesome, and it is functional.  The turn signals,lights and dash gauges work except for tach.  There are also aftermarket  gauges installed on the left of the dash.  I have some extra parts....manual, paperwork, original ford carb.  It has a new battery.  This GT is good, and I have set a FAIR reserve,  this opportunity doesn't come around often! I have to state the typical DO NOT BID unless you will purchase this classic.......NO SCAMMERS, FAKE BIDDERS ETC....I would like you to contact me via phone, with ANY questions, pics etc..at 773)443-9544-Kevin.  A $500 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT DUE WITH IN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSE.  PICK UP AND FINAL PAYMENT WITHIN 7 DAYS UNLESS OTHERWISE DISCUSSED.  I AM FLEXIBLE. I also know of a transporter that is in the Midwest, He owns his company and is real fair.....He is not a broker and when you deal with him, its only him and he is the driver.  Please ask for info. Thanks for bidding.

Ford also opening up EV, hybrid patents, with a price tag

Fri, May 29 2015

Like Tesla and Toyota before it, Ford is seeing the light when it comes to freeing up alternative powertrain patents. Of course, the Blue Oval does things differently, so free doesn't mean no cost. Instead of making its electric vehicle patents simply available to anyone, Ford is going to sell off its EV tech for an unspecified fee. Ford says it has 650 electrified vehicle patents and another 1,000 or so pending EV tech patent applications. Ford filed 400 such applications last year alone. To buy these patents, interested parties should contact Ford's technology commercialization and licensing office or work AutoHarvest. Or, you know, you could just go get Tesla patents for free. The jury is still out on whether these open patent programs are being used. The Tesla program, for example, didn't seem to be all that exciting to most OEMs right after it was announced. Ford has six vehicles with some sort of electrified powertrain: the Focus Electric, Fusion Hybrid and Energi PHEV, Ford C-MAX Hybrid and Energi plug-in hybrid and the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. The only full EV in that group, the Focus Electric, starts at $29,995. Ford Opens Portfolio of Patented Technologies to Competitors to Accelerate Industry-Wide Electrified Vehicle Development Ford is opening its portfolio of electrified vehicle technology patents to competitive automakers to accelerate industry-wide research and development of electrified vehicles In 2014, Ford filed for 400-plus electrified vehicle patents – more than 20 percent of the total patents the company applied for last year Ford is set to hire an additional 200 electrified vehicle engineers this year as the team moves into a newly dedicated facility – Ford Engineering Laboratories – home to Henry Ford's first laboratories DEARBORN, Mich., May 28, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is offering competitors access to its electrified vehicle technology patents – a move to help accelerate industry-wide research and development of electrified vehicles. In 2014, Ford filed more than 400 patents dedicated to electrified vehicle technologies. This is more than 20 percent of the patents the company filed – totaling more than 2,000 applications. "Innovation is our goal," said Kevin Layden, director, Ford Electrification Programs. "The way to provide the best technology is through constant development and progress.

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
