This is a pretty sweet ride, it has been entirely taken apart and reworked, engine pulled, cleaned up and freshly painted, holley 650 4bbl double pumper, high performance clutch, new radiator, '79 Granada spindles and disc brakes, windshield, rear glass, completely new interior from the carpet to headliner, trunk liner, exhaust system (twin glass packs), this thing sounds vicious! Door locks are keyed to match ignition cylinder. All windows roll up and down perfectly. Both doors open and close perfectly, no sagging whatsoever. The only imperfections are the drive shaft was made for the car but isn't balanced, so it needs a new one before you hit highway speeds. The vibration isn't noticeable whatsoever under 50-55 mph. The paint is nice but it needs more laid on the top of the car (hood, roof, trunk). New matching tires, problem here is the wheel offset is a hair off so you get a little rubbing on the rear tires if you're turning hard or have a lot of weight in the car. The interior is fantastic but it didn't receive a new dash pad, but it looks like new. There has been floorboard repair due to rust, the floor was removed and rewelded so it is solid. Despite these issues, the car fires right up and runs phenomenally. Brakes are like new and work perfectly. This thing is a blast to drive with the manual transmission and high performance clutch! The speedometer is not hooked up, but you can hear the gear turning, just needs new cable, this was overlooked during the restoration. Other gauges function (fuel, temp, oil pressure). It has its original steering wheel. I have a lot of extra trim pieces, the caliente badging, the trunk trim, the aluminum that goes down the length of the car (where its painted white now), stock kick panels, horn button, etc. I also have an extra un-cut dashplate so you can put in a factory radio if you wish. This car needs very little to finish. Hard work is all done and you'll feel like your driving a new one once you sit in this thing! Want something different from the crowd at your cruise in night? Here it is! This car is uncommon, and really turns heads with its snarly exhaust! Don't miss out on this rare bucket seat factory 4 speed Caliente.If you are a serious buyer and have questions about the car call me 5208675701

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
