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.

Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest

Tue, Jun 16 2015

There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chevrolet Ford Jeep RAM Truck Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos autoblog black

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
