1967 Ford Ltd Hardtop on 2040-cars
Glenwood, Iowa, United States
|
This is a true survivor car with only 57,745 miles believed to be actual. The car runs and drives fantastic and the ride is incredible.
Body: This is a 4-door Hardtop (see pics). The body is in excellent condition with no signs of rust in any areas including the floor. There are no signs of any previous rust repair but the front fenders and hood appear to have been repainted some time ago. There are minor dings and chips consistent with the age but by no means major. There is one area of the roof that the original paint has been partially rubbed through (see pics) Interior: The interior is extremely nice with no tears in the seats or headliner. The door panels are in excellent condition as is the carpet. The front seat is 6-way power and the padding is firm. All interior lights work including the door panel lighting. The dash pad has one crack in the center and an area in the speaker grill that is cracked. These cracks are repairable. The rest of the dash is in excellent condition. The steering wheel is clear and has minor separation in a couple of areas. The trunk carpet is in place and is in good condition. Drivetrain: The 390 cubic inch engine runs excellent and achieves nearly 19 mpg based mileage taken on two trips this summer. The automatic transmission has been rebuilt and it shifts smoothly through the gears. The exhaust system is in good condition and there are no major leaks from the engine or transmission. The car goes down the road straight and the brakes are excellent. The car rides on (4) new radials and the shocks have recently been replaced with new. This car was driven to a show in Springfield MO this last spring as well as to Sioux Falls South Dakota in the heat of the summer. It performed flawlessly on both trips and it is truly a pleasure to drive. I am selling to make room for more toys. Just as I was when I was young, I play with toys for awhile then move on to a new ones. It would be shame not to have someone driving and enjoying this vehicle. |

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like
Sat, 12 Oct 2013Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.
Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
