1969 Ford Country Sedan Stationwagon. 390 Big Block Ford FE 2bbl Motor and C6 Automatic Transmission. Runs strong and shifts smooth. The odometer shows 35,108.  This is the full size Ford based on the Galaxie or LTD platform. I have the full Marti Report on this car.  It has A/C, original factory AM-FM Stereo, Power Steering, Power Brakes with Disc in the front, and Power Rear Tailgate Window. The A/C needs to be recharged and the Power Rear Window is not working currently. The Tailgate is the dual opening style. It opens to the side like a door, or down like a truck tailgate. This particular car was not ordered with the 3rd Row Seat. The Country Sedan was the model just below the Country Squire. The only difference being that the Country Sedan did not have the 'Wood Panel' sides. Everything is original on this car except for a repaint of the original Blue years ago. The interior is blue and all original. The door panels are in great shape, however the dash pad is cracked, and the front seat has a few seem rips. 

The frame is perfect. The car has had a ton of mechanical work done already.

Brakes and Brakes lines
Master Cylinder
Fuel line
Starter and Selenoid
Carb rebuild
Plug Wires and Cap
New Pertronix Electronic Ignition Module, (eliminates the points in the distributor)
New Exhaust Manifolds
Top End of the Motor rebuilt including Reconditioning the Heads and Re-gasketing everything, (head gaskets, intake gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, carb gaskets, valve cover gaskets)

The gas tank has a few pin holes in it so I currently have it running off a 2 gallon gas can. I've already had the tank out, it can be removed in less than 10 minutes. I did find a place in PA who will completely refurbish the tank

As for the body, there is some rust. The rust is in the typical areas, rear quarters, spare tire well, rear storage area floor, (where the 3rd seat would normally mount), the front edge of the hood, and the tailgate skin.

All in all, the car is 100% complete. All of the trim is intact, the factory tinted glass is all perfect. With a gas tank repair this car can be rolling down the road.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

NHTSA opens investigation into Ford Explorer PI brakes

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

This year more than most, it's pleasant when we can string together a few days without word of an automaker or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing a bunch of new recalls. It's seemingly been a little quiet on this front lately (barring a spider-related Suzuki issue revealed early today), but now we have word of the government safety agency opening a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2013 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, a probe that could potentially affect an estimated 20,000 vehicles.
The issue being investigated concerns failures of the front brake hose on the vehicle that show "small splits in the hoses near the body side ferrule of the hose assembly," according to the agency, and the issue could result in longer stopping distances. The feds have reports of 13 malfunctions affecting 11 Explorer units. However, it's important to note that all of the incidents come from a single, unnamed metropolitan police fleet that operates 46 of them. According to The Detroit News, the failures generally took place between December and July.
NHTSA is investigating further to find if this is a more widespread issue than just this one fleet. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker confirmed to us, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the agency's report.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
