For sale is this rare example of a restored 1967 Ford Fairlane GT 427 V8. It has been loved and owned for decades. During that time, I had a brief stay at Holman Moody in Charlotte, NC while they hand build the 427 in this vehicle. The engine was balanced and blueprinted with 2 4-barrel carbs. Lets just say that its fast enough to warrant a new pair of shorts. That power is sent through a BIG SPLINE 4-speed transmission with a hydraulic clutch and a GEAR VENDOR overdrive unit. In the rear, you'll find a 9 inch DETROIT LOCKER that hooks up with a set of Mickey Thompson stickys. The engine sits on a FAT MAN front end with: Ladder Bars Rack and Pinion Steering Subframe Connectors Remote Oil Filter Aluminum Radiator with an extra fan A big set of WillWood disk brakes. Mechanically, this is a new car. The interior is all original if that tells you how well the car has been taken care of. I have way more in the car than the asking price. Feel free to call me any time. (843)408-8585 - Marcus

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost

Fri, 09 May 2014

I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
