This is a true barn find! This car was originally a California car, no rest, extremely solid chassis. Car was purchased by a Michigan collector in the late 70's and has spent the last 30+ years stored with his collection. It was purchased by the current owner and transported to SW Florida where a painstaking mechanical restoration was performed over a 6 month period. The body, paint, and interior appears as we purchased it. At some point in the past the exterior color was changed to the current Black as seen. This car shows and drives excellent. It does have some dings and scratches (minor) as any 48 year old vehicle should have. The current owner has taken the time to make sure all mechanical items were of sound condition and could be driven now as a daily driver. The following items have been replaced, rebuilt, or refurbished: Original 462 C1 V-8 has had new heads including valve job, manifolds and water pump replaced. Fuel system has been epoxy coated with new fuel lines and new Elderbrock carburetor, mechanical fuel pump as well as aux, electric fuel pump installed. Brake system has had complete brake job, rebuild of all components including front calibers. Single stage master cylinder has been replaced with duel stage including proportioning valve and new brake lines. Brake booster has also been replaced. Steering has had the steering box rebuilt and resealed including new power steering lines. Suspension has had ball joints and pitman replaced. Exhaust system has been replaced with a custom 2 1/2" dual Flowmaster system (this sounds great!) Electrical systems include many new switches, starter, wiring and horns etc. Air conditioning system has been gone through and blows ice cold. New 20" Boss wheels with new rubber as shown in photo's (original wheels and hub caps). This car is fully equipped and fun to drive. Options included on the vehicle, PW Steering, Brakes, Automatic, Power windows, Power locks (non functioning), 6 way Power seat, AC, intermittent wipers, Original AM Stereo 8 track, Power antenna (still works!). This car is amazing to drive and gets looks wherever it goes. A real conversation piece!

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).

Ford recalls 277,000 Super Duty trucks over foggy rear-view camera

Thu, Sep 1 2022

Ford has issued a recall that applies to around 277,000 units of the Super Duty pickup built between the 2017 and 2020 model years. The campaign also includes about 13,000 units of the Lincoln Continental, and it aims to fix an issue that makes the rear-view camera foggy. Assigned recall number 22V-644 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall includes 139,131 units of the F-250, 109,960 units of the F-350, 14,830 units of the F-450, and 13,119 units of the Continental. The affected trucks are all fitted with the Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera system and were built between November 12, 2015, and March 10, 2020, while the affected Lincoln models are equipped with the 360-degree camera and were made from November 30, 2015 to March 10, 2020. Ford explains "degradation of the coating on an internal rear-view camera lens can lead to a progressively foggy or cloudy image." It adds ultraviolet radiation causes the problem and that this issue increases the risk of an accident, though it's not aware of accidents or injuries. Owners of affected cars and trucks who have already paid to get the issue fixed have until September 30, 2022, to ask Ford for a refund. The company will begin notifying customers about the recall by mail on September 12, 2022, and it will ask them to take their vehicle to the nearest authorized dealer to get the rear-view camera replaced free of charge.
