1970 Ford Mustang on 2040-cars
Tres Pinos, California, United States
If you have more questions or want more details please email : millicentraugust@gmx.us . I am selling my 1970 Boss 302. It is a real G code Boss 302. It has been for sale several times by different
dealers. I was too busy to sell it my self and had two separate dealers take it on consignment. They all assured me
they could sell it and then proceeded to price it too high (one had it at $86k and the 2nd had it at $77k). I told
them the price was too high but they didn't believe me. It is appraised at $59k. The reason for the lower price on
this beautifully restored Boss is that it does not have the numbers matching engine. It is a correct year Boss 302
engine but not the numbers matching that it came with. The transmission & rear end are the correct numbers matching
items.
A little history on my Boss. I have owned this for four years. It was a "barn find" out of Washington State. The
3rd owner (I am the 4th owner) had the engine rebuilt. Less than a month after the engine was completed, he passed
away. His widow parked the car in their garage and left it there for 7 years. We believe the block was swapped with
the current block when it was rebuilt. Unfortunately the wife does not know and the shop that did the rebuild is
not sure. The engine runs very strong and it is a joy to drive. It has been driven aprx 1,500 miles since rebuilt.
When I received the car the wife, it was rough and typical shape for a car that has sat for 7 years. The interior
was in need of restoration, the clutch needed replacement and the repaint by a previous owner was not correct and
flaking off. We took it down to bare metal and repainted it to the high gloss it now has. All original decals were
replaced and the bumpers & trim was all repaired and re-chromed.
The distributor was updated to electronic ignition. Original factory power steering was added. A non-functioning
rev-limiter was installed. The shaker hood was added by a previous owner. The original radio was updated to a new
radio that has the look of an older radio but has newer features including Ipod input.
It is an amazing car that is what I would call a higher end driver, that will provide years of fun for the new
owner. Every time I drive it, it draws a crowd. It has been entered into 3 car shows and won 4 trophies, including
the San Diego Mustangs by the Bay show where there was several hundred Mustangs entered.
It is time for me to move on

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta
Tue, 17 Jun 2014The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue
Tue, 28 May 2013According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.
