You are looking at an amazing example of a tribute to the racing legend Fireball Roberts.

This car is started it's life in Florida and now lives in NC. It was rust free and solid before the restoration and has been kept in doors ever since. We made every effort to maintain the theme of a period correct convertable series race car while making this car a street legal driver. This car has:

A rebuilt correct 312 Y block motor.

Correct 3 speed column shifter. We replace the trasmission with a 67 mustang full synchro transmission for much better drivability and endurance.

It has a 4 barrell Holly carb, an electronic ignition under the cap, rebuilt brakes, hidden head lights, a push button ignition system, complete dyna-mat insulation and sound proofing.

We preserved or replace all the chrome and preserved all the body molding. We added air controlled rear shocks, and installed a period correct roll cage was installed.

The windsheild is perfect and there are no major defects anywhere. This car is not perfect but it's pretty cool to say the least. Everywhere we go the car draws huge crowds and the stories start from there. We recently had the car in Daytona for speed week, it was a hit and will be featured in thier yearly catalog for racing history. We had many racing legends come by and visit and even had them sign the trunk lid of the car.

This is NOT a stressed sale so please don't be silly with offers or expectaions. We went to great lengths to make this car fun, drivable and a tribute to a legend. We won't give it away!

Ford recalls 650,000 trucks and SUVs for defective wipers

Thu, Apr 21 2022

Ford announced earlier this month that it is recalling 652,996 F-Series pickups, Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators produced for the 2020 and 2021 model years to address an issue that may cause their windshield wipers to separate, reducing visibility and leading to potentially hazardous driving conditions.Â According to the Blue Oval, one of its suppliers used worn tooling components that resulted in wiper arms being produced with splines that are not tall enough to fully engage the motor pivots they're mounted to, which can cause the connection to strip when the motors are turned on. This could result in the wiper arms not moving at all, or engaging only intermittently.Â "Worn wiper arm spline tooling core inserts at the supplier resulted in insufficient spline tooth height, which can cause the arm attachment to strip when used with a certain wiper motors with higher torque," Ford said in its defect report to NHTSA. "Potential symptoms include erratic or slow wipe speed of the driver or passenger wiper arm. An improper functioning wiper arm may potentially result in reduced visibility in certain conditions, which could increase the risk of a crash." Ford says the vehicles were not produced in VIN order, so while not all of the nearly 653,000 vehicles have bad wiper arms, they're all suspect until proven safe. Ford will notify owners of the recall campaign starting in May.Â Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Ford Fusion demand outstripping supply

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

The attractive new 2013 Ford Fusion has done wonders for the brand in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment - the vehicle is up nearly 22 percent compared to last year. But that sales momentum may soon hold steady due to low inventory levels of the new Fusion across the United States.
According to a report in The Detroit News, citing automotive data and Ward's Auto, Ford currently has a 39-day supply of the Fusion. That might sound fine, but a normally healthy average is about a 60-day supply. If Ford were to stop production on the Fusion today, there would only be enough vehicles available to get through another five weeks of sales, according to the News.
Currently, Ford produces the Fusion at its three-shift assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, and will add production at its facility in Flat Rock, MI later this year. A Ford spokesperson told The Detroit News that when Flat Rock production comes online, the automaker will need to rush new stock out to the regions with the most demand for the Fusion. Ford has doubled its coastal retail market share, with huge amounts of growth in areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, the News reports.
