Year:1978 Mileage:157250
Location:

 Strong running Freshly rebuilt 400M w/ Custom RV cam and 4Bbl Edelbrock manifold and carb., Dual Exhaust, C-6 Automatic, Lockout hubs, Captains Chairs and Console (front) & Factory Folding Bench Seat (rear) A/C (Needs recharged), Power Steering, Power Brakes, Tilt Steering Wheel, Cruise Control, Pioneer Super-tuner AM/FM/Cassette Player, Chrome Grill Guard, Factory Luggage Rack and Opening Side Windows in the Shell Portion of the Removable rear cover, Factory Swing-away Spare Tire Rack, Electric Rear Window, Race Track Trim pkg., Aluminum Running Boards, 2" Lift Kit, Rancho Shocks and Steering Stabilizer, Front & Rear Anti-Sway Bars, Custom Chrome Wheels Sporting 33 x 12.50 x 15" Yokohama LT Geolander, Receiver Hitch and Electric Trailer Brake Module, Tinted Windows, 36 Gallon Fuel Tank.

This 36 year old Daily Driver is not without flaws. The A/C needs recharging. The front Driveshaft needs the CV Joint refreshed. Window tint is starting to bubble in places and the carpet by the drivers heel is split. There is also some paint chipping in and around the wheel wells, especially the rear ones as the roads around here are graveled.  These are all minor issues which aren't readily visible in the photos but you need to be aware of.

I've just got too many other important projects going to make a full restoration of this beauty a priority, but don't let that stop you from doing so.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept does discreet luxury in NYC

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

There's something to be said for luxed-out vans. They're cool, and as a means of getting chauffeured about, they're extremely comfortable and far more low key than your typical executive luxury sedan. For the 2014 New York Auto Show, Galpin Auto Sports has shown the potential of the new-for-the-US Ford Transit as an ultra-luxurious people hauler.
The Transit Skyliner Concept, which we previewed last week, sports four finely crafted captain's buckets that can be moved into different formations based on need. Want to watch a movie? The seats can be swung around to face a 52-inch screen. Riding along with some business associates? A table can be popped up. There's even a configuration for tailgating.
The materials are, unsurprisingly, pretty plush. The leather seats and wood floors (yes, wood floors in a van) look great, while the trunk and its customized luggage are a nice touch, as well.

Alan Mulally talks about why Ford's Falcon had to die

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

When Ford made the decision to end production of the Falcon sedan and Territory CUV in Australia, it wasn't a popular move Down Under. The large, four-door Falcon had been in production for 50 years, and while Ford has reaffirmed its commitment to the Australian market, it's understandable that some people still aren't all that crazy about the Blue Oval's decision.
Speaking to CEO Alan Mulally after Ford's Go Further event in Sydney, Australian site Go Auto reports that the decision was not one made lightly, and that the automaker is doing everything possible to respect the Falcon and Territory's "stakeholders." It's an interesting piece that shows a softer side of a corporation, while demonstrating that Ford is doing everything in its power to make the end of production as smooth as possible for all parties.
Head over to Go Auto for the full series of remarks from Mulally, and then let us know what you think of Ford's handling of the Falcon and Territory discontinuations, in Comments.

Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
