For sale is my nice 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback. As you can see from the photos it has a Boss 429 appearance to it that always draws lots of positive comments.

Body: The body is 100% original Ford metal. There has been no rust repair. The lower front valance was replaced with a NOS piece by the previous owner, other than that, it looks to be all factory metal. There is no rust in the doors, floors, quarters, or any of those typical rust areas on these cars. Since this is an unmolested body, the car drives very solid. Door gaps are all nice, just a solid car.

Suspension: I have replaced the front springs and shocks with factory replacement units from Eaton Detroit Springs specific for a 1970 Mach 1 with a 351C. I feel this car has a balanced ride, not too soft, yet not too hard and aggressive.

Steering: The steering linkage is tight, the car does not wander going down the road or the interstate.

Wheels and Tires: Brand new 15x8 Magnum 500s and BFGoodrich Tires, same size all the way around for a nice aggressive stance.

Engine: 351C 4V with an Offenhauser aluminum intake and Hooker headers. This is the best starting muscle car I have ever owned. Turn the key and it fires, very dependable. The engine runs strong but I would classify it as a mild street performance build by the previous owner. Good oil pressure. I have always used 100% synthetic Valvoline oil and Wix filters from CarQuest with good results. It does not run hot but there is an auxiliary electric fan that you can turn on and off from inside the car should you feel it necessary. I have not needed to use it. There is a new one wire PowerMaster alternator on the car. It puts out over 110 amps so it can easily power anything you want to add to the car within reason. Flowmaster mufflers are under the car but they are not loud and obnoxious.

Transmission: T5 Ford 5 speed with cable clutch linkage. New flywheel, clutch disc, and throw out bearing. First gear is perfect for getting around a parking lot or show field without having to finesse the clutch. Of course, 5th gear is perfect out on the interstate to keep the revs down and your gas mileage up. This car was built to be a driver, and a good one at that. Very pleasurable to drive. I would recommend replacing the rear tail shaft seal as it does leak.

Interior: The seats were recovered by the previous owner and I have to admit that they are very, very nice. Super comfortable to sit in. The dash pad is in good shape. I installed the restored rim blow steering wheel (expensive) and I think it is of show quality. It does have the deluxe interior woodgrain gauge cluster with the clock delete passenger side panel. This creates a nice appearance in my opinion. The Philco AM radio is in the car and it has a new speaker under the dash. The radio worked last summer but it did not want to play this summer. It has received new carpet and underlayment.

Extra Parts: There are some extra parts that I have accumulated over the years that will go with this car. Most notable is a lower metal A/C dash unit. I kept it in case I ever wanted to add A/C but yet keep the factory look for the interior. There is a car cover that will go with the car.

I'm not trying to brag, but I have been very fortunate in that in the past I have been able to own a '69 Mach 1, 2 428CJ 1970 Mach 1s, and 3 Boss 302s. I am 100% honest when I say I have had more enjoyment driving this Fastback that I did out of any of the previous high dollar cars. I think you can tell from my description that this car is a nice driver that you can take to any show or cruise in, but it is not going to take the trophy away from any concourse restoration. Unfortunately a move out of state forces the sale.

The car is available for inspection with an appointment. $500 deposit thru PayPal due within 3 days of close of the auction. Balance due as cash at time of pick up or wire transfer before car is picked up. Feel free to email me with any questions. If you would like to speak on the phone, please give me your phone number and I will give you a call. Thank you.

Leno talks racing with NASCAR racer Joey Logano

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Jay Leno has to be under significant pressure knowing the appetite his fans have for a new Jay Leno's Garage video every week. This time, Jay takes a break from his usual format (something he's been doing with some frequency as of late) and goes back to his roots as a talk show host. There's no classic in the garage his episode with an interesting story to tell and a sumptuous exhaust note. Instead, the focus is purely on interviewing 23-year-old NASCAR racer Joey Logano about what it's like to be a racecar driver in his Ford Fusion.
Logano started racing at the tender age of six and has risen up the circle-track ranks to the big show of the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The two of them talk about what it's like to compete in the sport today compared to yesteryear, and Logano shares some racing anecdotes. Of course, they also get into what it's like to be on the racetrack controlling a car with about 850 horsepower, a four-speed manual transmission and brakes without any power boost. Scroll down to watch the video.

Find out if the Ford Fiesta ST can match Europe's latest hot hatches

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

The V8 grunt of the Mustang has defined Ford performance cars in the US for the last 50 years, but in Europe, the Blue Oval has nearly as a long history of building some of the best hot hatches on the market with the Fiesta, Escort and later the Focus. The latest Fiesta ST has just hit the roads on both sides of the pond and has been enthusiastically received thanks to its combination of a peppy, turbocharged engine and hatchback utility.
However, Europe is getting a bumper crop of hot hatches at the moment, including the forthcoming, third-generation Mini Cooper S. Should Ford have waited to launch the ST until it knew how the competition performed? That's the answer that Xcar is after in its latest video, and it took the Fiesta to the track and some very misty, Welsh roads to find out. Scroll down to find out whether the ST stacks up.

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
