1970 Mustang Fastback Original/Stock 302 / C4 Transmission Power Steering/Power Brakes - Original Grabber Green Odometer: 74,600 This Mustang rolled off the assembly line at the San Jose California assembly Plant October 24, 1969 - specifically for the California market. It made its Way to the Midwest at some point (currently Michigan) and was in storage until about 1 year ago when I restored this Mustang to its current condition. I personally restored this Mustang to be a hassle free, very cool looking, reliable classic ride for myself. However, I recently purchased another vintage Mustang and have decided to sell this one. The person who buys this Mustang is getting a very nice car for the money. This Mustang is very clean inside and out. The body and body lines are nice and straight, and the paint job looks great. The undercarriage is nicely painted - the frame rails, floor pans and torque boxes are rock solid, and more-than-enough parts have been replaced during the restoration to ensure the vehicle is mechanically reliable as well. This is a Beautiful, turn-key, drive and go Mustang - an original classic without the hassles inherent with owning an "old car" as most all wearable components have been replaced with new period correct parts (see the details below). This Mustang is nice driving, solid and reliable. It also turns just about every head going down the street, and gains many compliments along the way. I have listed each vehicle system below by category to display the quality level of restoration this Mustang is at. You will find many of the vehicle systems have been completely restored to "new condition" using either new or re-manufactured replacement parts. It is fair to say - this Mustang is just as it would have been during the era in which it was produced - only better and way cooler ..!. I have access to a vehicle hoist at the auto repair center where all the major work was done. So lifting the vehicle to thoroughly inspect the undercarriage is not a problem. Please call me with any questions, or to set up an appointment to personally inspect the vehicle. My name is Mark ...

Ford Australia launches Falcon GT F 351, last of its line [w/video]

Sun, 15 Jun 2014

It's always best to go out with a bang rather than a whimper, and Ford Performance Vehicles is doing just that in Australia with the Falcon GT F 351. It's the most powerful road car the Aussie performance brand has ever made with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 pumping out 471 horsepower (351 kilowatts) and 420 pound-feet of torque. It's joined by the FPV Pursuit Ute with the same powerplant tuned to 422 hp and 402 lb-ft. Sadly, the last F in this Falcon's name stands for Final.
The GT F 351 is a monumental way to go out, though. It harkens back to the old days of Aussie muscle Fords, and the 351kw output is meant to reference the classic Falcon GT and its 351-cubic-inch V8. In addition to the massive power, the F has the improved suspension from the R-Spec model and Brembo brake calipers.
FPV is building just 500 GT F sedans for Australia and 50 more for New Zealand, plus 120 Pursuit Utes. They feature a blacked-out hood and black stripes over the hood and sides, plus gloss black accents around the headlights, door handles and mirrors.

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).

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
