Ford: Mustang Gt on 2040-cars
Capitol Heights, Maryland, United States
For Sale 1965 Ford Mustang GT (authentic A code) – This car was built to be the “real deal”. It is a semi-modernized 65 Mustang that has the original muscle car ambiance of sound and looks (but safer and more reliable). Please thoroughly review the pictures and description as this car has had numerous updates and modifications and I want you to understand exactly what this car entails. It was built with the goal of reliability and the ability to safely cruise down a highway at 65mph in mind. This is a very nice “A” code GT that has been slowly put together. It is in great shape, but does need a few items to finish this project. 1. The factory hood was not flat so I found another original factory hood (but it still needs prepped/painted) (hood shown in first pic is no longer available). 2. The proportional valve needs adjusted as it is applying too much force to the rear brakes (didn’t adjust after changing to dual bowl master cylinder) 3. Has a vibration at ~40 mph from either a tire or driveshaft not properly balanced 4. Fuel line recently clogged so it needs replaced (I have a braided line kit with fittings) – I would suggest replacing fuel tank or having it flushed (all gas is currently drained from it) 5. Needs carb properly tuned (has a brand new Holley 600 with electric choke that needs adjusted) 6. AC compressor currently not bolted on the car (but I have it) 7. Center console not screwed down (has a crack so I was looking for a replacement) 8. Rear interior panels has speakers holes drilled into them 9. Have newHawk racing brake pads that needs installed This is an opportunity for you to purchase a very nice 65 Mustang original A code for much less than what it is worth. This is a very nice 50 year old car that is begging to be finished and enjoyed by the right owner. I simply do not have the time to appreciate this car as much as it deserves.

MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
Ford unveils its facelifted Falcon finale with new XR8
Thu, 24 Jul 2014While its days may be numbered, Ford isn't just going to let its Falcon sedan limp out for the Australian market. No, the Blue Oval is releasing a refreshed Falcon for its final years, and it's lead by this, the new XR8. That's right, this dead-car-driving is going to go out on a high note.
Ford's global design DNA dominates the looks of the new Falcon, with a grille reminiscent of the US market Fusion and the European-market Mondeo. The headlights aren't a straight port, and boast their own unique LED running light pattern (at least on the XR8), but the overall look is strikingly similar. Out back, LED taillights highlight the rear of the Faclon. Despite the substantial new fascia, this is still a mid-cycle refresh. That means most of the rest of the Falcon's body panels are carryovers from the current model.
The XR8 model, shown above, arrives with a supercharged V8, allegedly displacing 5.0 liters. Unfortunately, details on the Falcon's mechanicals are in remarkably short supply. Ford has committed to a range of turbocharged four, as well as turbocharged and naturally aspirated six-cylinders, in addition to the V8, although specifics on those mills aren't available.
Ford board pushing Mulally for decision amidst fears story is drowning out other news
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Automakers and their executives rarely like to divulge information regarding future goings on, but the board of directors at Ford sound like they're getting a little antsy about chief executive officer Alan Mulally and his plans for 2014.
According to Reuters, as news of Mulally's possible departure to Microsoft continues to swirl, Ford's board is looking to push the affable executive to make a decision about his future sooner rather than later. Apparently, the board is growing concerned that this will-he/won't-he drama may end up distracting the media from covering Ford's other big news events next year - items like the debut of key all-new products like the Mustang and F-150.
So far, the picture for Mulally's eventual successor remains fuzzy, but it's understood that the leading candidate remains the company's chief operating officer, Mark Fields. Just recently, we heard that Mulally will stay until the end of 2014, but a few months ago, Ford seemed open to the idea of him stepping down earlier than that.
