This car is a driver, not a show car. This last winter I had a shop light fall onto the car, and put a visible scratch on the passenger side near the rear window. There's paint bubbles on both rear quarters. They're small to me, but I'm not a body man. The radio antenna will need to be replaced, it's broke near the base. There is a small dent in the hood where the carburator nut hit it. There's also some scratches on the rear window where someone used a non plastic scrapper to clean the window. From checking into fixing it, I do believe that they can be removed, but I have not tried it yet. The horn has a loose wire or broken contact that I haven't found yet. Mileage showing is 54,409 which I'm guessing is not correct.

I have owned the car for approximately 11 years from the papers I found. The car is not driven in the rain, or in the winter. For the past several years I probably haven't put on more that a couple hundred miles on it. So It's time to sell the car. When I purchased the car I had the radiator redone, along with the top area. I put on a new gas tank, fan shroud, and new rubbers seals under the hood to get a good flow of air running under the hood. New trunk mat. Both the front and rear bumpers were re-chromed. This last winter new brake lines, master cylinder, brake adjusters and cylinders were replaced.

I did have some work done on the engine, and transmission by another mechanic. These are the items that I had installed. High flow oil pump. New Oil pan. Edelbrock double roller timing chain and gears. Schneider performance hydraulic cam shaft. Sealed power hydraulic lifters. Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads. Edelbrock performer intake. Set of Crane push rods. Harlan Sharp rocker arms. Demon Carburator Chrome air cleaner and valve covers. The transmission was replaced with a rebuilt C6 with a shift kit, 1800 stall torque converter. Dual exhaust with Flo-Pro Mufflers. The car drives very good, and cruises great on the highway.

Currently the car is riding on B F Goodrich TA Tires. The mags are 15 inch Cragar SS. Along with the car I'll be including the original tires and 6 hub caps that the car had when I got it. Any questions please send them by way of ebay. By the way this is the first item I have sold on ebay so I'm learning my way through the system. I will check often for any messages, so there should be little down time in my response. I want the new owner to enjoy this car and to be happy with the purchase, so no question is to small. I'm selling only in the United States.

Ford looks to space robots to improve car-to-car communications [w/video]

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Ford has partnered with St. Petersburg Polytechnic University for three years to research various kinds of connected vehicle communications. The university tie-up is part of its study of space robots, NASA systems created to enable space-to-Earth communication, and the university's own development of systems that enable communication between the International Space State and Earth.
The objective is for Ford to engineer layers of robust networks and redundancy systems that will allow your car to speak to other cars, to emergency vehicles, to infrastructure like traffic lights and buildings, and to the cloud. Benefits would come in just about every area of transit, from avoiding accidents, to getting medical workers to an accident more quickly, to improving the flow of traffic during rush hour.
Check out the press release below for details on what Ford wants to learn from the JUSTIN Humanoid and NASA Robonaut R2, and a video of technical leader Oleg Gusikhin discussing his interest in the project.

Ford F-150 production hampered by frame shortage

Sat, May 30 2015

If anyone has questions about how Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will hold up, it's not buyers. Orders are so strong for the fullsize pickup that competitors General Motors and Ram are discounting their offerings to hold onto market share. It's a shame for the Blue Oval then, that it can't build all the trucks it needs because frame supplier Metalsa isn't delivering enough frames. Neither Ford nor Metalsa has said what the problem is, but Ford employees are at Metalsa's Kentucky plant trying to get it sorted out, Automotive News reports. Overtime shifts at the Dearborn Truck Plant and the Kansas City Assembly Plant have been canceled due to the shortage that's been a problem for at least two months now. The issue is exacerbated by this being the changeover period in production from the old model to the new, which comes with its own issues. That would help explain why even though Dearborn production finished ramping up in January, output in April was down 9.2 percent compared to last year, according to AN. Transaction prices are up for the new truck, but overall F-150 production in Q1 was down 40 percent, and missing product means missing profits. Combined with the production drop for the new Ford Edge, the company's Q1 bottom line was robbed of $1 billion. It isn't clear when the frame issue will be solved, but workers at the plants are ready to run "all-out" when it is.

Ford, GM to collaborate on 9- and 10-speed transmissions

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.
