Up for consideration is my 1965 Ford Country Sedan that has been customized. This was a California car all it's life until I bought it.

The car has been lowered, door handles shaved, bodywork and paint and custom pinstriping were done in CA.

I have redone the mechanicals ( new brakes, tires, shocks, exhaust system, tune up/ fluids, new wiper motor, new fan motor, rebuilt carb, rad flush, etc.) and installed a new custom interior and automatic door poppers on the front doors with hidden switches.

This is a fabulous highway cruising car and I have used it for work projects out of town and out of state, taken it to antique car swap meets in different states to load up parts for our collection of cars, picked up replated bumpers and loaded the car with tires from Coker Tire in TN to bring back home etc. As you can see, it is not a show car but a very cool, unusual and practical fun car.

v8, auto, ps, pb and that is it. Currently shows under 65000 miles ( I have put over 20,000. miles on the car ) and I believe it is original since there is no rust on the car and based on the wear. The rear electric window in the tailgate works well. The car could use new weatherstripping all around and if you wanted to install a stereo you could ( it has the original AM radio ) but I don't listen to the radio when I drive so it never bothered me.

As this is a 49 year old used car it is being sold as/ is, with no warranties.

If you want photos of something not showing, or have questions, or want to see/ drive the car, just email. I would have no hesitation driving this car across the country anytime. As I said, I take it on long road trips and it has never had a problem with me.

I collect old Pontiac's and this is the only non-Pontiac car in my collection ( not counting the old cars my wife has) so I am redoing an old Pontiac wagon in the same style as this Ford which is the only reason I am putting this up for sale.

3dCarbon now offering body kit for Ford Fusion

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

A factory-backed body kit by 3dCarbon is now available to Ford Fusion owners who want their car to stand out from the crowd while not being too flashy. The body kit adds a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear body trim and spoiler that are, in fact, integrated quite nicely into the Fusion's already-comely styling, just as 3dCarbon claims. All Fusions with the kit also receive dual exhaust ports with the stainless-steel exhaust surrounds usually reserved for the Titanium package Fusion EcoBoost models.
A nice detail of 3dCarbon's injection-molded urethane body kit is that it has undergone crash testing to certify that it can withstand crashes up to five miles per hour. Because of this, the kit is warrantied by 3dCarbon for five years or 50,000 miles, much like Ford's warranty on its own parts. In fact, the kit is available through participating Ford dealers and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit. Buyers can purchase the kit - pre-painted or unpainted - and install it themselves, or it can be purchased with a new Ford Fusion and installed at the dealer, pre-painted to factory specifications. Of course, it can also be ordered directly from the source. Take a look at the press release below for more detailed information on the body kit, and let us know what you think of it in Comments.

Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.

Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.
