Here is the last car that I was supposed to own! It is the proverbial little old lady car that had 50,000 original and highly documented miles when I purchased it. It has a very good body and no rust – other than the surface rust or patina that you see, but no cancer. The car does not appear to have been hit, as the front and rear frame rails are laser straight. The inner fender aprons are crisp and have not been worked. Even the factory battery box has not rusted out, like most of them do. The floor pans are very nice as are the rocker panels and door bottoms, and trunk drop offs. This is the real deal car! The grill and the Futura panel are both very nice. The chevron chrome accents are very nice and are not pitted, and the side trim is nice and straight. It is milky, as aluminum trim does over time, and there are two places that have minor denting. The trim around the windshield and back glass is darn nice. The plastic dash on the inside is not cracked or warped or cut up. The hubcaps are nice – no curb rash and are all very shiny. The inside windshield chrome trim is very nice. These are usually pitted. There is very little pitting at the bottom of the A pillar, but the rest of the trim is very nice. I bought this because it was such an unmolested car – I paid good money for this car so I could be the one to molest it! I have a huge folder of documentation that the lady had done to the car throughout her ownership of the car. This includes inspection reports with mileage documentation, muffler replacement and various repair work with mileage statement. This car is an honest 60,000 mile car – the odometer has not been rolled over nor back. From the pictures you can see it still have the factory brown starter solenoid. It still even has the FOMOCO script headlights! I live in Fort Worth and have a 34 mile round trip commute to work and the car has NEVER let me down. It has been to Oklahoma, Austin, San Antonio, Seguin, and all over the D/FW Metro-mess and it drives great. The 200 six runs excellent and the 2 speed cruiso tranny shifts as it should. In fact the guy that inspected it last time commented how much it drove like a dream and got permission for me to let another inspector drive it so he could also see how great it drove. As is the case for those of us who have this old car sickness, I thought this was the last car I’d own, so I spent money on this car doing it just like how I like it. But, I have found something else that has turned my head, so I have to let this great little car go. I have TONS of pictures to document that this is the real deal – no hidden surprises, no excuses, and no disappointments car. This is an honest-to-goodness great driver. I have spent the money on it because I obviously didn’t purchase this car to “flip.” The car is for sale locally, so the listing may be cancelled. The car has had an extensive amount of mechanical stuff done to it, but I have left the factory paint – yes, FACTORY paint because after I buffed it, it really came to life and it looks killer. I have swapped the rear end for a 63 1/2 V8 Falcon unit that is an 1 1/2 narrower than the stock unit, which allows 7 X 15 wheels to be wrapped in 235/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial TA tires. I have front drums off of a 1969 Falcon V8 for extra stopping power. The front wheels are 5 X 15 with 205/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial TA’s. The spare is the same size as the fronts. These tires have less than 10,000 miles on them and look new with no rubs or scrapes. Here is what I’ve done to it: new inner and outer tie rod ends, new fuel pump, new fuel line from pump to carb, new radiator and cap, new motor mounts, new axle bearings and axle seals, the 8 inch pumpkin has had all 5 bearings replaced with new ones, new fan belt, new hoses, new core support, heater box has been rebuilt, new shocks, new brakes, carburetor has been rebuilt, new exhaust manifold, new water pump, new wiper switch, new ignition switch, new drive shaft and universal joints, new tires, new fuel tank, new fuel gauge sender unit, new windshield, new windshield gasket, new back glass gasket, new carpet, new head liner, new seat covers, new door panels, new package tray, really nicely re-plated front and rear bumpers – these are a bit older, but are in excellent shape. I have installed new insulation before the headliner was installed, and I have used Eastwood’s version of Dynomat under the carpets on the very nice floor pans. The transmission works great, the steering is good and tight, the brakes will stop on a dime. This car runs and drives wonderfully. I’d drive it anywhere any time with very little worry – just know that it is a 50 year old car, so things can happen at any time. I have like 75 pictures to help document what this car is. I have a large amount of brand new trinkets and trim pieces that go with the car. For example I have new inside Futura door emblems, I have new Futura fender badges, new hood ornament, new instrument cluster glass, new door panel escusions, new trunk seal, new antenna, new turquoise inside paint, fender to apron seals, generator splash shield, rear quarter pillar seals, and various other accouterments.

2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online

Wed, Jun 25 2014

Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.

Why the Ford won, how testing went down and Ford's competition — including the GMC Hummer EV and Genesis GV60 Â— are discussed. After diving through the Technology of the Year award testing, the three take on this week's news. A mysterious vehicle based on the Corvette (that isn't a Corvette) is supposedly on its way. Audi is giving us "Performance" versions of the RS 6 Avant and RS 7 Sportback. Plus, we discuss a recent study that provides data for the 10 longest lasting vehicles on the road today. After the news, the crew dive into the cars they've been driving this week.
