1967 Ford Ltd Hardtop on 2040-cars
Glenwood, Iowa, United States
|
This is a true survivor car with only 57,745 miles believed to be actual. The car runs and drives fantastic and the ride is incredible.
Body: This is a 4-door Hardtop (see pics). The body is in excellent condition with no signs of rust in any areas including the floor. There are no signs of any previous rust repair but the front fenders and hood appear to have been repainted some time ago. There are minor dings and chips consistent with the age but by no means major. There is one area of the roof that the original paint has been partially rubbed through (see pics) Interior: The interior is extremely nice with no tears in the seats or headliner. The door panels are in excellent condition as is the carpet. The front seat is 6-way power and the padding is firm. All interior lights work including the door panel lighting. The dash pad has one crack in the center and an area in the speaker grill that is cracked. These cracks are repairable. The rest of the dash is in excellent condition. The steering wheel is clear and has minor separation in a couple of areas. The trunk carpet is in place and is in good condition. Drivetrain: The 390 cubic inch engine runs excellent and achieves nearly 19 mpg based mileage taken on two trips this summer. The automatic transmission has been rebuilt and it shifts smoothly through the gears. The exhaust system is in good condition and there are no major leaks from the engine or transmission. The car goes down the road straight and the brakes are excellent. The car rides on (4) new radials and the shocks have recently been replaced with new. This car was driven to a show in Springfield MO this last spring as well as to Sioux Falls South Dakota in the heat of the summer. It performed flawlessly on both trips and it is truly a pleasure to drive. I am selling to make room for more toys. Just as I was when I was young, I play with toys for awhile then move on to a new ones. It would be shame not to have someone driving and enjoying this vehicle. |

Project Ugly Horse: Part V
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
