****This is the description furnished by the Owner*** I am a Broker for the owner of this private sell

Hello and thanks for viewing this 1968 Ford Xl. This car is equipped with either a 429 or 460 engine. It is not a 390 although it was originally equipped with one. This car actually rides and drives quite nicely and accelerates down the road with ease. The C6 transmission shifts smoothly and without hesitation. The car has been a daily driver, for one of my employees, for the last 6 weeks as he has been repairing his car. This car has given him no problems and the only problem he has reported to me is that the brakes are a little stiff and the hide a way headlights are a little slow, but work fine.

The story on the car is as follows: I bought the car around 7 months ago as a project to relive my youth as a 68 Ford Xl is what I drove when I was 17. I know, we all try to relive our youth, but I had some very fond memories in my 68. The car needs paint; as I showed in the pictures, but the panels are very straight and the car is as close to rust free as I have found on a car in many years. I bought it and had the full intentions of repainting, restoring it and keeping for a weekend cruiser, but a friend of mine made a statement that changed my mind. He looked at it a made the comment that it looked like a 60’s model NASCAR. I shrugged it off and was content with my plan until I went to a car show and met David Pearson in person. We walked around with him for quite a while and I genuinely liked the guy. My same buddy said, “Wouldn’t it be cool to make your car look like something he would’ve driven when he was racing.” And that’s how this car came about as we lettered it just like his car from the era. I am in the middle of four other projects, so I have decided to sell a few.

Now onto the condition of the 68; the engine is pretty impressive and sounds amazing. We installed a Comp Thumper Cam that hits very nicely. We even have attached a video so you can see for yourself. We also installed a noisy gear drive timing set that gives it a little more attitude. The interior is presentable with the dash being in the worst condition, it is cracked. The seats are impressive, for their age and to the best of my knowledge, they are tear free. The headliner is in great shape, the package tray has come unglued where it would go behind the seat and is a very simple fix. The door panels are in very good

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.

2014 Ford F-150 Tremor adds some sport to shake things up

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Like most quakes, the 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor caught us by surprise. We weren't expecting Ford to offer up another version of its best-seller so soon before the truck's full redesign, but that's exactly what the company is doing.
While Ford calls the Tremor a "performance truck," the new pickup doesn't play on the same level as the SVT Raptor does on dirt, or even the long-gone SVT Lightning did on pavement. Think of it as a parts bin sport truck that probably does a better job looking the part than acting it. The Tremor utilizes the same twin-turbo, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 available across the F-150 lineup, producing 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, but matches it with a 4.10 rear axle - the shortest final drive ratio you can get in an F-150 - for the strongest possible acceleration.
The Tremor does do a decent job looking the part. Available only in short-wheelbase, regular cab configuration with your choice of two- or four-wheel drive, it struts around wearing the F-150's FX Appearance Package, flat black accents, 20-inch black wheels, HID headlights and a special exterior graphics package. The Tremor is the only regular cab F-150 with a flow-through center console, which means it also gets a floor-mounted shifter and bucket seats that are covered in black leather with red piping. Some brushed metal accents and steering wheel with red stitching round out the interior upgrades.
