This listing is for my 1970 Ford Country Sedan. It has the original numbers matching 390V8 with a C6 automatic transmission. This is an original California car, it does not have any rust and has not been wrecked! I have the CA title in my name, the license is current through January 2015, this car does NOT require a CA smog test.  I bough this car from a friend of mine who owned a tow yard. In order to get the car re-registered we had to do a salvage sale, hence the salvage title. This has been my daily driver on and off over the past seven years. The engine and transmission were rebuilt at about 98,000 miles by the previous owner.  All the work that has been done to the car since I have owned it has been done in the last four years and less than five thousand miles. The car is now, almost, completely done. Only the interior needs a little work and a good detail. The car was recently painted. The car still needs a little work to be complete. The front door panels are not as nice as I would like, the car needs a new headliner, some small interior trim and the rear side storage compartments need to be carpeted. Now on the positive side. The car has leather bucket seats, the front two are power. The rear two fold flat to increase load capacity. The power steering box is new, it also has a new power steering pump, new power steering hoses, a new Edelbrock  4BBl carburetor, a new Malory unilite distributor, new plug wires, new spark plugs, a new HP coil and new water pump. It has a new thermostat, the tires have less than five hundred miles on them, the heater and defroster system is a new. All the hoses and belts are new, it has a new aluminum cross flow radiator, new brakes, new front spindles, new front brake calipers, new tie rod ends, new idler arm, new upper and lower control arm bushings, new strut rod bushings and new brake hoses. The rear axle bearings and seals were replaced. It has a new NASCAR style dash board with all new gauges and switches, the instrument and dashboard wiring was all replaced along with new fuse panels and circuit breakers. The new dashboard and speedometer were installed at the same time as most of the other work was done. The car only has 2,402 mile on it since the dashboard and most of the other work was completed. The old speedometer had 129,464 mile on it . So the total mileage on the car is only 131,866! The carpet is new, it has a floor mounted shifter, the steering column was replaced and a new steering wheel. The paint is only about two month old, never even been waxed yet! This car is a great daily driver, it starts, runs and drives very good. I wouldn't hesitated to drive it on a long trip! wish I had the money and health to do the little things to finish this car. But I don't, so I have to sell it! I am selling my wagon as-is with NO RESERVE! The high bidder gets it, bid to win, this is a great driver! Thanks for looking, good luck bidding.

Ford going bonkers at SEMA with 57 showcars

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Ford always shows up in force at the SEMA Show, but this year's tally of 57 custom-tuned cars, trucks and vans is more than we can ever recall the Blue Oval bringing. Ford will introduce 28 of its project vehicles in its "Dreamcase" ahead of next month's show. The first batch of eight you'll find here with the remaining vehicles trickling into public view over the next couple of weeks.
This first group of cars includes a Fiesta, four Fiesta ST hatchbacks and a trio of Mustang show cars styled and tuned to varying degrees all by different aftermarket companies. Tanner Foust, Nitto Tire, 3dCarbon and Ice Nine Group are some of the more familiar names affixed to these cars. Our favorite so far is the Hollywood Hot Rods Mustang convertible (shown above) with its removable aluminum top and methanol-injected, 750-horsepower 5.0-liter V8.
Scroll down for all the details on these Fiestas and Mustangs, and stay tuned for more info on Ford's SEMA line, which will include custom versions of the Focus ST, Fusion, Transit Connect, F-150 and Super Duty.

Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.

Junkyard Gem: 1973 Mercury Marquis Brougham 4-Door Pillared Hardtop

Tue, Nov 7 2023

Ford's Mercury Division debuted the Marquis in the 1967 model year, as a sporty coupe based on a stretched Ford LTD chassis. When the LTD got an update for 1969, so did the Marquis, and production of that generation of the top-of-the-line Mercury continued through 1978 (the Grand Marquis hit streets the following year). The 1969-1978 Marquis was a big, imposing land yacht, and the Brougham version came absolutely loaded with affordable luxury. Today's Junkyard Gem is a Marquis Brougham from the first year of the Malaise Era, found in a Phoenix self-service car graveyard recently. This car appears to have spent decades sitting outdoors in one of the harshest climates in the country, and so it's in rough shape. The vinyl top received the full thermonuclear treatment and is mostly obliterated by now. The interior got thoroughly cooked as well. Still, its original opulence shines through if you use some imagination. What hurts is that this car was packed with most of the good options, including the mighty 460-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor. The price for the 460 was just $76 in this car, or around $548 in today's money. The base engine was a 429 (7.0-liter). Power numbers were way down for 1973 when compared to a couple of years earlier, partly as the result of tightening emissions standards but mostly due to the switch from gross to net power ratings that began midway during 1971 and was completed by the end of 1972. This engine was rated at 202 horsepower and 330 pound-feet. The only transmission available was a three-speed automatic. We can assume that the original buyer of this car and its single-digit fuel economy had a rough time when the OPEC oil embargo hit in the fall of 1973. Believe it or not, air conditioning was not standard equipment on the '73 Marquis Brougham (you had to move up to a Lincoln for that). This one even has the automatic temperature control feature, adding a total of $508 to the cost of this car (about $3,661 in 2023 dollars). That AM/FM/8-track radio—or, in fact, any radio—was an extra-cost option as well, with a price tag of $363 ($2,616 after inflation). The MSRP for the 1973 Marquis Brougham sedan (known as a "pillared hardtop" thanks to the frameless window glass) was $5,072, which comes to $36,555 in today's dollars. Obviously, its out-the-door cost would have been much higher with all the options.
