1966 Ford Mustang Coupe. VIN: 6R07C201973, body 65A, color X, trim D3, DSO 75, axle 6, trans 6. I have owned this car for the last 11 years, I purchased it from Glendale Arizona where most of it's life it was parked under a carport. For the last 11 years it has been stored in a dry building in Missouri. After an extensive search, I purchased this car with the intentions of doing a ground up restoration but my plans have changed and I am offering it for sale. This car is solid from the ground up and shows no signs of ever recieving any major accident damage. This 47 year old surviver deserves a quality ground up restoration but will require no metal to be replaced. All of the usual places like trunk floor, rear shackle area, trunk drops, frame rails, and floor pans are solid and the car has never been under coated (see pictures). This Mustang is a 289 V8 2 barrel, C4 automatic transmission, power steering, factory air conditioning, factory tinted glass, remote door mirror, day / night rear view mirror. The odometer reads 110,210 miles, that appears to be actual but I can not document that it is. The body over all is very straight but does have a few minor dings and dents that would be expected on a 47 year old daily driver. All of the glass is in excellent conditon. I would say the trim is in average with a few dings here and there. I should be able to come up with the trim pieces and bumper missing off of the back of the car. The interior is complete and again in very good condition to be 47 years old and would probably be good driver quality but should be replaced if doing a restoration. Due to the long term storage the car is currently not road worthy, I am sure the fuel system, carburator, brakes, and tires will require to be repaired or replaced to make the car drivable. Currently the car will start and run for about 15 seconds using a jump box and starting fluid, and the engine does sound good. The car was runnig and driving when parked 11 years ago. If you have been looking for a quality 1st generation Mustang to restore and are tired of looking at all of the patched up rust buckets out there, then you might want to give my car some serious consideration. Good Missouri title. This car is an excellent candidate to be restored back to original or build a restomod. I have tried to describe this car to the best of my ability but have probably missed something that you need to know, if so just ask. If you would like to inspect this Mustang in person again just ask and arrangements will be made. Thanks for looking and the winning bidder will not be disappointed, this is a good one.

Ford Escort Concept goes back to basics
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Here's the thing about China: The folks buying cars there have a very different set of standards than shoppers in many other markets around the globe. While we all drool over hot metal with bold designs, and while we appreciate automakers going an extra step to inject even their cheapest offerings with aggressive and interesting cues, that sort of sheetmetal sex appeal doesn't always sell in the People's Republic. Case in point is Jaguar, which may be designing a more traditional-looking version of its XJ for the Chinese market, or more to the point of this story, Ford currently sells the less-exciting, last-generation Focus compact in China right alongside the new one.
So consider this new Shanghai-bound C-segment concept a preview of what's to come for that more traditional, budget-minded, less-sexy market. More proof of this pudding: Ford's even calling this concept the Escort - a nod to the Blue Oval's compact car days of yore, and a name that stirs up thoughts of basic, affordable transportation rather than great driving dynamics or bold design. "Customers in China described seeking a vehicle that is stylish - but not one that is arrogant or pretentious," Ford states. And this new Escort concept previews a possibility of providing exactly that for this rapidly expanding automotive market.
What you're looking at, then, is one of the most simple Ford designs we've seen of late, though it still incorporates all of the automaker's latest DNA. The signature hexagonal grille is front and center, flanked by attractive LED headlamps and chrome-rimmed foglamp housings. The entire car's design focuses on clean, smooth surfaces, with one strong character line flowing from front to back just below the beltline. We will say that the car looks decidedly more premium from the rear view, where narrow, horizontal taillamps with an LED accent give the car added visual width. Bland as it may be, it's a handsome little concept, though fear what would likely happen if all of the conceptual details get dumbed down for a production model.
2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Supercrew
Fri, 15 Mar 2013I'm not normally a pickup kind of guy, but the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor won me over nearly instantly. The street-legal trophy truck - there is really no other way to accurately describe it - is big, brawny and incredibly capable. Let's just say it's every bit the monster it visually portrays. I spent a week pretending I was one of Ford's Baja 1000 drivers, but lacking desert sand, I headed into the local mountains where a mild winter storm had dropped a couple inches of fresh snow on my favorite off-road park. The Ford was, for the most part, practically unstoppable.
Ford offers its SVT Raptor package on Supercab and Supercrew platforms with the five-foot, five-inch bed. The Supercrew I tested rides on a 144-inch wheelbase (about a foot longer than the Supercab). In addition to its cosmetic differences when compared to the standard F-150 - there isn't a young boy on the planet who doesn't think the matte black Ford grille is cool - the Raptor has a 73.6-inch track - nearly seven inches wider than the track on the standard F-150.
After upgrading the F-150 SVT Raptor significantly for the 2012 model year, there are only a few changes for 2013. The list includes standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, Hill Descent Control, forged beadlock-capable wheels, and the new matte Terrain color (aka "Desert Storm") option seen on my test model.
Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
