1954 Ford Crestline Victoria 428 Cobra on 2040-cars
Barboursville, West Virginia, United States
|
I am 72 years old. I did have 5 old cars, now I have 3 and want to get down to 1. I did like to tinker with cars now I would rather play golf. Interior is excellent. I have been told the front seats and console are out of a Thunder Bird but don't know that for sure. Speedometer is about 8-10 miles off because of 3:90gears installed last year. New Gauges except fuel gauge. The original fuel gauge is fine. Exterior is a 10-15 foot car. Up close has a few bad spots to close to see in pictures. Left front trim needs replaced. I have a like new one that I have not installed. Trim and chrome looks good. I had the rear bumper re-chromed. There is an electric popper for the trunk. Engine is a 428 Cobra. There is a list of things I have done to the engine in the last few miles. Transmission - C6 Rear end I have been told is from a pickup truck. It had 2:73 gears I hade them changed to 3:90 gears, New Carburetor, New Valve Springs, Electronic Distributor, Power steering pump sent off and rebuilt, new starter, new fuel pump, new Griffith aluminum radiator, new battery. New heating and cooling unit cost $2,400 last year. I added power brakes, disc in the front, drum in the back. New Mufflers and Tale pipes. New Front tires and new tubes in rear. car has very wide Mickey Thompson tires in the rear. I have a new set of normal size chrome rims for rear. If you want normal size tires. Problems: Passenger side door window is cracked Radio/cassette player work fine as long as you don't turn it off. If turned off it takes a while for it to turn back on. Biggest problem now is that to install heating and cooling unit the installer had to remove the fan blade and install an electric fan. I think it needs a more powerful fan because it runs about 210 degrees on a hot day. Any other questions call Jim @ 304-638-3934 |

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
