Ford Mustang Mach 1 on 2040-cars
Chantilly, Virginia, United States
This is a solid project car, runs, drives, stops, steers and can be driven on the street while you fix up. This is an all original 1969 Mach 1. Car needs paint, body, interior work. Sold "as is". I bought to restore, don't have time. Car is missing its trim rings on wheels. Dash pad cracked and faded. Seats all good except drivers its foam worn,torn and foam can be seen. Its rusty here and there. Worst rust right side trunk floor pan is shot. Fender aprons rusted at overlap as usual. Floors and underneath are good in my opinion. Engine is original, trans is original . Minor power steering leak, small oil leak. I found in a barn, replaced gas tank, sender, cleaned lines, replaced fuel pump, carb, and she runs great. Very strong runner, shifts nice. Primer on car is from misc. sanding and covering up bare metal to keep from rusting. Black out hood treatment faded off, I have started to reapply but haven't finished. Rim blow works, disk brakes, 9", m code 351 4 valve. Have the Marti report. Sold as is. No warranty. This is a very solid all original all ford all they way it left factory solid project. Wimbledon white with red/burgundy interior. Non working am still in it. 3 speed FMX . Please understand this is not a restored car with the real car hidden below paint and bodywork. This is a unrestored original car, I can impress enough this needs restored but it doesn't have any hidden stuff going on. The lower quarters are rusted, both doors corners are slightly rusted "no holes in doors, rockers and fenders are rust free ford fenders that came on car, same with doors . Roof solid, floors nice except trunk floor . I have put a new tank in and even had the factory original carb rebuilt by a local rebuilder that goes with car. I just added a holley performance carb with electric choke. I also have the factory air cleaner assembly. Door glasses are out, both are good tinted door glass but they became loose in regulator so I pulled them out for safe keeping. Turn signals in scoop work, all lights work, all interior lights work except dash lights. Radio and dash lights no not work assume its a fuse, but don't know for sure. Tires are as new but showing light dry rot, bf goodrich t/a's. Car is kept inside. I will not deliver. I will not allow car to leave until payment is made in full in cash, or cashiers check or wire transfer to my bank and my bank confirms funds are there. $500.00 deposit to be paid through pay pal within 48 hours of close of auction. This is a great car, basket case Mach 1 mustangs are easy and cheap to buy. Totally restored examples are unaffordable for most. The reserve on this car is very favorable when you look at both ends of the spectrum. Not very often can you find one that hasn't been messed with and is all factory original as this one. One more disclosure this is a project car, it needs work, every part needs attention, but every part is there and every part is Ford. Car is located in Central Virginia, just outside Richmond. If you want to call to ask a question my name is Tom 804-572-0954

Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
Ford Escort is ready to focus on the Chinese market
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford officially revived the Escort name in China, showing of the new, four-door compact at the Beijing Motor Show. Painted in a stylish brown-bronze, the new sedan wears a number of global Ford styling cues while sharing its platform with the Ford Focus.
Power for the new model comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, although Ford doesn't specify just how much power is on offer, simply saying that the fuel economy of the new mill will be "outstanding." It's unclear what transmission will be distributing the engine's power, although based on the images we've seen, the Escort will definitely offer a two-pedal setup.
The layout of the cabin is fairly clean, although as we mentioned in our initial post on the new Escort, it's a decidedly sparser environment than we've grown use to in US-spec Fords of late. If anything, it's like a weird blend of current Ford switchgear with an overall look that reminds us of older Ford layouts. Still, it looks like a comfortable way of moving five people about without too much fuss. There's ample space both front and rear, and a rather spacious trunk.
Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.
