1970 Ford Xl Convertible on 2040-cars
Trussville, Alabama, United States
|
Hello. I am listing the car one more time. This car is complete to drive. You do not have to fix anything with the car. Drive and enjoy. Of course no warranties implied. I spent around $4000 getting it ready to roll. I've got $12,000 in it. I have lowered the reserve well below what I have in it. I added 2 new pictures of the engine as well to be viewed.
Really nice car I purchased. Odometer reads 111,000. It may be accurate, I do not know. I have done many improvements and ready to move on to new projects. Not looking for any trades. Thanks. Great collection edition to you Ford folks out there. Not a perfect frame off car. Older restoration and very well maintained. Great enjoyable driver. I'm very confident you could pick up and drive home. I am in the Birmingham Alabama area can help arrange local area pick up/shipping at buyers expense. I do not have a lot of history on this great old Ford XL Convertible. I have owned it a couple of years. I bought it from a guy who drove for a while. He purchased it from a widow whose husband restored the car a while ago. I'm pretty sure the car spent it's life in the Maryland area. The vin is 0E61Y214610. the trim tag reads Body 76B Col T Trim 1A Axle K Trans V DSU 17 please excuse any typos. I've been on many sites and what I can tell it's an original red exterior, black interior car with a V8 390-2V big block. 270 hp 9.5:1 compression... I believe the motor may be the original one and was rebuilt along the way. The restoration to me looks like it was done well, however not a frame off. Old factory a/c works well. Blower fan squeaks at first and goes quiet. The engine was a leaky mess when I got it and this what I did: new steering gear, intake gasket, heater hose, antifreeze, carb kit(it currently has a holly carb), valve cover gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, exhaust pipe gaskets. It has strait pipe exhaust that has been on for a while. Quite the hot rod sound.Leak and trouble free now. The big block really performs. The exterior looks really nice. The paint shows little wear. It's a brighter red, not sure if it's ford factory color. The bumper's do have some pitting and cracking up close, 5 foot range and would have to be re- chromed for show quality. I included some close up photos. The rest of the chrome is good. Hide away lights perform perfectly. The trunk does not have a spare tire, it does have jack, etc. The original rim/hubcaps cleaned up great. Very minor pitting, you could fill in black accents where desired. The tires have good tread and are just an off brand. The top is brand new, the old one was ok but the cross bows were bad so it looked like a bubble going down the road. Unfortunately that's one unit, so a costly replacement. I saved back glass window and re used. The top is the high quality cloth type. The cylinders and hydraulic lines have been replaced and it works fantastic. I bought a convertible boot to put on, but have never used it. Comes with the sale. The interior really looks great. The seats are older covered, still look good, I repaired/replaced several rips and re padded drivers sagging area. The carpet is new. It has black rubber mat covers. Somewhere down the line a fm/cd player was installed under the dash with a 6 changer in the trunk. Obviously older. All works well. Replaced FM antenna. Radio works well Good speakers flush mounts in the front doors under grill cover and high end tweeters in the pillar post. The original am/fm radio in dash turns on but no sound. The glass running vertically over original radio is cracked. The best thing done to make this car look fantastic was I found a great interior guy who recovered the dash pad. Unique dash that would be nearly impossible to replace. The original was good with typical non pleasing cracks over time. You will have to see to believe how outstanding it looks. All dash board instruments work well. I've replace most of the rubber moulding where I could as needed. I am putting it in at auction format and letting it run with a reserve. |

Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."
Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.
Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.
