This classic was discovered in a barn from the Midwest, it was stored for about 20 years. This is a great opportunity for the person who wants to drive a true classic muscle car, before starting a possible restoration. , It is all original Candyapple Ford Red with a repaint over 25 years ago. I think the only things aren't original are the steering wheel, front fiberglass bumper and air cleaner. I put a lot of work to get it running and drivable. However it is not road worthy, partially due to the rear drum brakes not working. It will definitely be able to get on and off a trailer.This appears to be the original 351 Windsor, and it runs strong with no blowing oil. I think it has a bigger cam. One RARE item on this is the "Buddy Bar" aluminum intake manifold #C90X-9424-A, if you don't know, please research this NASCAR icon $$$$. Simply put this manifold was used with Shelby back in the day.... This is the real deal.....look at the pic. The original interior which is RARE, having a bucket seat with console, the condition is remarkable. There weren't many made, most have a bench seat. It has a 9", 3:00 ratio rear end. The extra options were the FMX automatic trans and front DISC BRAKES! It also has the argent steel wheels with emblems. I have the "Marti Report" to back all of this, see pic. The worst rust is on the front portion, left and right floor. Partial rear frame rails seen in the trunk, and some of the panels. Again look at the pics. The L&R door windows are off the track. All the glass is in excellent shape. All trim is good as well. The headliner is loose. The hood scoop is awesome, and it is functional. The turn signals,lights and dash gauges work except for tach. There are also aftermarket gauges installed on the left of the dash. I have some extra parts....manual, paperwork, original ford carb. It has a new battery. This GT is good, and I have set a FAIR reserve, this opportunity doesn't come around often! I have to state the typical DO NOT BID unless you will purchase this classic.......NO SCAMMERS, FAKE BIDDERS ETC....I would like you to contact me via phone, with ANY questions, pics etc..at 773)443-9544-Kevin. A $500 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT DUE WITH IN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSE. PICK UP AND FINAL PAYMENT WITHIN 7 DAYS UNLESS OTHERWISE DISCUSSED. I AM FLEXIBLE. I also know of a transporter that is in the Midwest, He owns his company and is real fair.....He is not a broker and when you deal with him, its only him and he is the driver. Please ask for info. Thanks for bidding.

Recharge Wrap-up: Atieva making EV with former Tesla talent, Holland lowers PHEV incentives

Wed, May 13 2015

A reduction of tax incentives on company cars in Holland is expected to put the brakes on plug-in hybrid sales. Cars are taxed at an average of 25 percent, with plug-in hybrids taxed at just seven or 14 percent, depending on emissions. Taxes on PHEV company cars will increase to 14 and 21 percent. With company car leases making up a third of vehicle sales in 2014, the uptake on PHEVs "will likely go back to regular volumes," according to Volvo's Christiaan Krouwel. It could be a boon for battery electric cars, as their tax rate will remain at four percent for company cars. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Ford is testing cylinder deactivation in its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine. On-road prototype testing has shown improvements in fuel economy of as much as six percent. Ford engineers developed a system using a new dual mass flywheel, pendulum absorber, and tuned clutch disc to allow cylinder deactivation under a wider range of speed and engine loads with less NVH. "The highest priority in the development of new combustion engines for automotive applications is the ongoing reduction of fuel consumption," says Ford's Andreas Schamel, presenting Ford's findings to the Vienna Motor Symposium. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release from Ford. Atieva is building an EV with the help of numerous former Tesla employees. The Silicon Valley-based startup was founded in 2007 by a former Tesla vice president, and its roster includes 12 other former Tesla employees. Already well funded, Atieva is now looking to fill its ranks with more talent, with 32 engineering positions, two recruiter positions and other job openings posted at its website. As for the EV it is working on, Atieva says it is "redefining what a car can be, by building an iconic new vehicle from the ground up." Read more at Charged EVs. Testing shows that Joule ethanol, made from recycled CO2, meets standards for use in the US and Europe. In partnership with Audi, Joule has been working toward making its recycled CO2 fuels ready for commercialization. "We are pleased to achieve another critical step towards our planned near-term delivery of fuel-grade ethanol from recycled CO2," says Joule President and CEO Serge Tchuruk. "Using waste CO2 as a feedstock, our technology has the two-fold advantage of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and producing cost-competitive, drop-in fuels." Joule will use these test results to get government approval for the use of its ethanol in highway fuel.

Ford Mondeo with 1.5-liter EcoBoost debuts in China

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Does the car above, posing fancifully in white, look familiar? Well, it should. Although it wears Mondeo badges in the form you see above for the Chinese market - as it does in Europe - the car is basically the same thing sold in the US as the Ford Fusion. Of course, it's what's under that shapely skin that counts.
Ford has chosen the Shanghai Motor Show as the venue with which to unveil its 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. We'd heard about the engine before, but now we have a few performance estimates to share: 133 kW of power (about 178 horsepower) and 240 Nm of torque (about 177 pound-feet).
Those numbers pretty much confirm previous rumors indicating about 177 in each category, and it's right on par with what Ford's own 1.6-liter EcoBoost produces. Ford is claiming best-in-class fuel economy as well, but no specific figures have yet been provided. In any case, we'll surely have all the data soon enough, as the 1.5-liter mill is destined for the US Fusion in 2014.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
