This is a 1968 Falcon Sport Coupe.  The cars original suspension has been removed and replaced by a mustang II font end with coil over shocks and sway bar with rack and pinion steering.  The rear leaf springs have been removed and replaced by a pro ladder bar suspension with coil over shocks and adjustable ride height as well as a track bar.  The fuel tank has been removed and a 12 gallon fuel cell installed in the trunk.  The battery has also been relocated to the trunk.  The wiring harness has been replaced by a kwik harness.  The original motor and trans were replaced by a 429 built motor and a C6 built trans with a 2500 stall converter.  This motor puts out right at 590hp to the flywheel.  It has a comp cam and valve train, electric water pump, Weiand intake, demon 850 carb, HEI distributor with Taylor wires, and Sanderson headers.  The fuel system is 6AN stainless  line from the holley electric pump to the carburetor.  The exhaust is flowmaster.  The drive shaft is custom built as well and hooks to a 9" rear with a nascar 410 diff.  The brakes are aluminum 4 wheel disc SSBC calipers and slotted rotors with power brakes.  The emergency brake (Lokar) has been relocated to the center hump between the seats.  The shifter has been relocated to the floor and is a B&M slap shifter.  The dash has been fiberglassed and  3 gauges added to the  center of it.  All gauges are autometer.  The interior is all new reupholstered seats and side panels.  There is a new headliner too.  The carpet and kick panels are new. That is the good.  Now the not so good.  The brake lines will need to be replaced due to contamination.  I do have all new stainless lines that go with it.  The emergency brake works but needs adjustment.  There is some rust under the front cowl where the air ducts were.  The wiper components have been removed.  The body is in descent shape for its age with a little rust.  Most of the rust is around the trunk where the seal goes.  The back roll pan also has some rust where the rear bumper goes.  The hood is fiberglass and needs hinges or hood locks to mount it.  The dash will need a little more fiberglass work to the finish to complete it.  The engine runs great, but the carb needs to be rebuilt.  The trans shifts great.  The rear axle splines and bearings are all new.  The floor pans have been replaced and painted with POR15.  There is a set of front 5 point DOT seat belts that will need to be installed.  I love this car, but my financial state is forcing me to sale it.  I have over 15k invested in this car.  These vehicles are very hard to find.  The only part missing is the rear bumper.  I have more pictures if needed.

Uber releases fleet of self-driving vehicles to select few in Pittsburgh

Wed, Sep 14 2016

Starting today, a select group of Uber users in Pittsburgh, PA will have the ability to request a self-driving vehicle. If a self-driving vehicle is in the area, Uber will send it, as well as a safety driver, to drive loyal customers to their destination. The announcement to give customers the opportunity to get a ride in one of Uber's self-driving vehicles comes roughly a year and a half after the company set up its Advanced Technologies Center in the city. On Tuesday, the company offered a few members of the press the opportunity to ride in one of the company's self-driving cars. The fleet, despite Uber's collaboration with Volvo, was comprised of 14 Ford Fusions equipped with a host of self-driving technology, reports TechCrunch. Uber is giving away free rides as a way to obtain real-world testing, which is crucial for self-driving technology. Recently, nuTonomoy beat Uber to the punch by launching the world's first autonomous taxis in Singapore. While the choice to release its self-driving cars in Pittsburgh mainly comes down to the fact that its ATC is located there, the city faces four seasons and its difficult streets that are comprised of bridges, railroad lines, and an irregular grid layout will prove to be a challenge for the autonomous cars. Since the self-driving vehicles are still being tested, the cars will come with two full-time Uber employees. One employee will loosely grasp the car's steering wheel, ready to take over if something goes awry, while the other will monitor the computer's software. As TechCrunch points out, Uber's autonomous vehicles drove in a similar manner to a regular driver. It obeyed traffic laws, mimicked a driver by coming to stops gently and at other times abruptly, as well as driving slightly into another lane to dodge a poorly-parked vehicle, reports TechCrunch. There's no word on whether regular Uber customers will get a ride in one of the company's Fusions or one of the Volvo's that its working on. Automakers and companies alike have been in a race to put autonomous vehicles on the road. Tesla recently updated its Autopilot system, Apple laid off dozens of employees to reboot its self-driving car project, and Google is working giving its autonomous vehicle the ability to detect emergency vehicles. While this is a large step for Uber, vehicles with autonomous capabilities still have a long way to go.

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
