Blue V-8 Convertible Daily Driver Automatic Transmission on 2040-cars
Calera, Oklahoma, United States
I have had the car about 15 years and am second owner after first owners family (first titled in Arkansas). Always garaged during my time, selling to start another project. Car has been in Oklahoma, Arkansas or Texas since built (little rust). Two V-8 donor cars (1963 falcon and 1964 Mercury Comet) were used to replace most components to V-8 standards: wheels are 14 inch, front and rear suspension, rear axle, steering box and column are from V-8 cars as well as engine and 3 speed C-4 automatic transmission. Aluminum radiator. Engine was rebuilt several years ago with about 2,000 miles on it. Runs great. Edelbrock 4 bbl carb and intake manifold. Exhaust headers with professionally installed flowmaster dual exhaust chrome tip. Transmission is C-4; I took this to my transmission guy for check out-he said it is in good shape, resealed and changed oil, shifts a little slowly when cold. If I was going to keep the car I would have transmission gone thru. I found no rust in body panels but floor pans had pinhole rust thru-fixed unprofessionally. Paint was professional but after 7 years has some bubbles. Top is good with clear rear window. Complete air conditioning system is included but not installed-never got around to it. Inside unit is from 1964 comet, I had it checked out, sealed up-works perfectly. Balance of system includes mounting brackets, hoses (use for size-you will need new hoses), transition thru firewall is new, dryer and condenser is there (but you will need these new), also two compressors (sold to me as rebuilt units). Windshield has wiper scratch, all other glass is great. Car could use a new front seat cover back on drivers side, rest of interior is great. $500 deposit thru paypal immediatly after auction ends-non refundable, final payment within 7 days by money wire or cash all funds to be clear before car leaves. Mileage is unknown.

Ford bringing adaptive steering to the masses [w/video]
Thu, 29 May 2014Within the next year, Ford will offer a brand-new adaptive steering system (unimaginatively dubbed "Ford Adaptive Steering"), and this week, the automaker invited us out to its proving grounds in Dearborn, MI to get a taste for how its new setup works. In function, Ford's system doesn't greatly differ from the majority of other adaptive steering units already on the market from companies like Audi or BMW, but consider this: Ford will be the first non-luxury automaker to offer this technology, and uniquely, the whole system fits inside the car's steering wheel.
Ford's engineers have worked hard to create a system that can be tacked on to the company's full lineup of cars, trucks and utility vehicles, and says that the adaptive steering will be uniquely tuned for each specific vehicle. The automaker will not confirm exactly which vehicle will launch with this technology, but for the purpose of our preview, we tested the technology in a 2014 Fusion - a vehicle with already-good behind-the-wheel feel, one that the company says best demonstrates its current steering efforts.
NHTSA opens investigation into Ford Explorer PI brakes
Wed, 27 Aug 2014This year more than most, it's pleasant when we can string together a few days without word of an automaker or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing a bunch of new recalls. It's seemingly been a little quiet on this front lately (barring a spider-related Suzuki issue revealed early today), but now we have word of the government safety agency opening a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2013 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, a probe that could potentially affect an estimated 20,000 vehicles.
The issue being investigated concerns failures of the front brake hose on the vehicle that show "small splits in the hoses near the body side ferrule of the hose assembly," according to the agency, and the issue could result in longer stopping distances. The feds have reports of 13 malfunctions affecting 11 Explorer units. However, it's important to note that all of the incidents come from a single, unnamed metropolitan police fleet that operates 46 of them. According to The Detroit News, the failures generally took place between December and July.
NHTSA is investigating further to find if this is a more widespread issue than just this one fleet. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker confirmed to us, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the agency's report.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
