Barboursville, West Virginia, United States

I am 72 years old. I did have 5 old cars, now I have 3 and want to get down to 1. I did like to tinker with cars now I would rather play golf. 

Interior is excellent. I have been told the front seats and console are out of a Thunder Bird but don't know that for sure. Speedometer is about 8-10 miles off because of 3:90gears installed last year. New Gauges except fuel gauge. The original fuel gauge is fine. 

Exterior is a 10-15 foot car. Up close has a few bad spots to close to see in pictures. Left front trim needs replaced. I have a like new one that I have not installed. Trim and chrome looks good. I had the rear bumper re-chromed. There is an electric popper for the trunk.  

Engine is a 428 Cobra. There is a list of things I have done to the engine in the last few miles. Transmission - C6 Rear end I have been told is from a pickup truck. It had 2:73 gears I hade them changed to 3:90 gears,

New Carburetor, New Valve Springs, Electronic Distributor, Power steering pump sent off and rebuilt, new starter, new fuel pump, new Griffith aluminum radiator, new battery. 

New heating and cooling unit cost $2,400 last year. I added power brakes, disc in the front, drum in the back. New Mufflers and Tale pipes. New Front tires and new tubes in rear.

car has very wide Mickey Thompson tires in the rear. I have a new set of normal size chrome rims for rear. If you want normal size tires.

Problems: Passenger side door window is cracked

Radio/cassette player work fine as long as you don't turn it off.  If turned off it takes a while for it to turn back on.

Biggest problem now is that to install heating and cooling unit the installer had to remove the fan blade and install an electric fan. I think it needs a more powerful fan because it runs about 210 degrees on a hot day.

Ford F-150 King Ranch celebrates 'history and authenticity' for 2015 [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

What's life like on an authentic Texas ranch? We honestly have no idea, having never lived on such a ranch, but we imagine it requires lots of hard work, grit and determination to keep all 825,000 acres - that's larger than the state of Rhode Island - of the King Ranch in Texas under control. Indeed, a total of 350 vehicles, all of which come from Ford, we're told, are currently in use by the ranch. No wonder, then, that the collaboration between Ford and King Ranch has lasted for 15 successful years.
For 2015, in celebration of that 15th anniversary, Ford is debuting three new King Ranch models today at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The most significant is the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, which, naturally, will add unique interior and exterior bits and pieces to the new aluminum-intensive F-Series pickup. Color choices will consist of Caribou, Bronze Fire, Guard and Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, with a range of two-tones to go along with a monochromatic scheme in Caribou. Inside, a bespoke King Ranch interior will be swathed in Premium Mesa Brown leather.
Joining the F-150 King Ranch on dealership floors later this year will be 2015 King Ranch editions of the Super Duty pickup and Expedition fullsize SUV, all of which will offer similar levels of content. Scroll down for more details and two videos from Ford, and be sure to check out the high-res image gallery above, which was shot by the official State Photographer of Texas, Wyman Meinzer.

Thu, 13 Jun 2013

Raptor, Excursion, Texas And Hennessey
Each of those words are synonyms for big and bold - combine all four and you've got one of the largest, most powerful and robust street-going sport utility vehicles in the world.
John Hennessey is a Texas-based tuner known for creating some of the fastest and most capable cars on the planet. Over the past two decades, machines like the Viper Venom 550, Ford GT 1000 Twin Turbo, HPE 700 LS9 Camaro and the almighty Venom GT have emerged from the Hennessey Performance garage. And those are just the celebrated flagships; the company has modified thousands of other street cars including those from Audi, Bentley, Cadillac, Ferrari, Ford, Porsche and Toyota, to name a few.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
