This is a beautiful car and other than a few paint chips the car is perfect. I drove it in the July 4th parade and received a plaque for it as peoples choice award and wasn't expecting that. I was just showing it off!! Anyway I will tell you what I know for sure about the car. I didn't build it but I can tell you someone put a ton of money into it. The top is chopped three inches and metal top put on it and a perfect job I have to say. I was a body man for twenty two years before I went to work at the prison then after fourteen years of Correctional Officer my V.A. doctor said I needed to retire for various reasons due to Agent Orange. Anyway I'm getting off course here the body work was done right and the paint is near perfect! I love this car it's just I thought I could afford it but I owe too much money and I'm sure alot of you can relate to that? It has the louvered hood on top, black running boards and fenders. The duel tail pipes are bent so they come out at the base of the back fenders so you don't see them but they sound sweet. I call the colors Harley colors and it has a small Harley sticker in the back window. Certain ways the light hits the orange it looks yellow as you might see in some of the pictures. To me it reminds me of American Graffiti and when I drive it I feel like an old John Milner but I don't drive it like he did. I baby it but now and then you like to kick it down a little. It has a 350 V8 and I believe they told me it had a 350 automatic trans. It has all the gauges, power windows, and even the rumble seat is power. There is only fourteen thousand miles since the rebuild, I bought it of an older lady that had it twelve years and only put two thousand miles on it and it stayed in a climate controlled garage. I've probably put that many on it and only had it less than six months. Anyway the only chips in the paint are like on the spring holders that holds the hood down and a chip where the rumble seat closes other than that the car is a beauty and gets attention everywhere she goes. Oh it does have the aooga horn also and the windshield still slides open at the bottom. Any other questions just ask.

Ford car-camo artist works his craft on Australia's new Falcon XR8
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Ford is among the kings of concealment when it comes to test cars. On one recent Mustang SVT mule, the automaker went to the extreme of putting baffles over the exhausts to hide how many there were. Sounds like a lot of work, right? In a new video, the Blue Oval has decided to take fans behind the scenes to show them what it takes to camouflage a prototype. In this case the subject was the recently unveiled 2014 Falcon XR8 for Australia.
Ford's prototype build coordinator Down Under has the very appropriate name of Neil Trickey, and it's his job to obfuscate the important bits of test cars to keep them out of spy shooters' camera lenses. Trickey calls his job a "dark art," and he shows off some of the tricks of his trade in the video. It turns out that the fabric we often see on mules is a type of lycra, but his team isn't above getting out a can of spray paint to conceal parts, too.
Scroll down to watch a video about a man who you probably wish could be a little worse at his job.
XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.
Ford invests $682 million in Edge-producing Canadian facility
Sun, 22 Sep 2013Ford announced that it's investing $682 million in its Oakville assembly plant in Ontario, Canada, to make it a global manufacturing plant, which the automaker also says secures 2,800 jobs there. Including this injection of cash, Ford has invested over $2 billion in Canada in the last decade, starting with nearly $1 billion for Oakville in 2004, and over $570 million for its Essex Engine Plant in 2010.
The move to make Oakville a global manufacturer of Ford vehicles means, "If consumers suddenly shift their buying habits, we can seamlessly change our production mix without having to idle a plant," says Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas.
Ford says that the latest investment will help it meet North American demand for the Oakville-produced Edge crossover, which is on track this year to beat 2007's US sales record of 130,000 Edges. The Ford Flex and Lincoln MKX and MKT are also manufactured at the plant.
