1971 Ford Mustang Boss 351 on 2040-cars
Derrick City, Pennsylvania, United States
Just email me at: adrienneaffils@britishtalent.org .
My Yellow Boss 351 is up for sale. This is one of the Boss 351's that was at Hershey this year. This is the very
nice restored car with LOTS of NOS stuff. The following is a list of some of the NOS stuff:
bumpers,
body decals
hood pins
door handle
weatherstripping (where do you find that these days)
front spoiler (yes NOS spoiler)
And more stuff.
This is a nicely optioned car (not super optioned) but it has the options that most people put on cars that didn't
have it. Take a look at the Marti report. It came with spoilers, and it came with Magnum 500. It still has
it's original Ford Magnums on it that are in great shape. Actually it still has lots of it's original parts
because they were in great shape. Also it came with essential power steering (I had one without PS and it was
tough steering unless you were just going straight for a 1/4 mile!)
It has original floors, doors, quarters....but it has NOS front fenders and hood. Has about 65k miles on it. Is
it flawless? No. The paint looks great (so everyone tells me) but the paint was never rubbed out so it still has
a little of that factory finish it had in 1971. But the NOS weatherstripping just makes the doors close
effortlessly.
This car was built to be beautiful and to truly have a Boss 351 feel. The original engine has been redone. Since
it was low mileage and everything mic'ed up well, it has the original pistons. It has a new cam ground to the
original specification. Heads were redone with harden seats, crank done, bearings.....The original carb was
rebuilt, as was the original distributor. Rebuilt water pump. Original intake and exhaust manifolds. The engine
is stock, stock, stock, just like it came. Yet, when we finished breaking in the motor on the dyno, it pulled
360HP! (I have the dyno sheet).

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Roush getting back into sport compact business with Focus ST mods [w/video]
Wed, 29 May 2013Roush Performance offers a whole raft of parts for folks looking to tune their Ford Mustang and F-150 models, and now Focus owners can start getting in on the hotted-up action, too.

Although all of these components are now available for order, the parts will ship sometime in July; no word yet on pricing. Down the road, Roush will also offer styling upgrades for the Focus as well as performance tuning upgrades such as engine controller, suspension, wheels and tires. Scroll down for a quick video of what the Focus ST exhaust sounds like, as well as a Roush press release.
William Clay Ford Sr. dead at 88
Sun, 09 Mar 2014William Clay Ford, retired vice chairman of Ford Motor Company and the last surviving grandchild of company founder Henry Ford, died this morning after a bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
Ford spent 57 years with his grandfather's company, joining the board of directors in 1948 before graduating from college. Ford also held a position as chairman of the design committee, as well as the chairman of the executive committee and vice chairman of the Board of Directors during his tenure with the company. In a 2013 Detroit Free Press story, retired CFO Allan Gilmour said Ford had an eye for design, and was once able to pick out when a fiberglass model of a Ford Contour was asymmetrical, off by an inch on one side. He retired and assumed the position of director emeritus in 2005.
"My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community," said Bill Ford, Jr., Ford's current executive chairman. "He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all."
