Here for your consideration is a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 in the rare Candy Apple Red exterior with Red interior combination. It is equipped with a great running "M" code 351 4V engine and the infamous toploader 4-speed transmission. It also has power steering, power disc brakes, factory tachometer, and fold down rear seat. As you can see from the photos, this car is very original and unaltered under the hood. The carb is the original 4300 and works great with no leaks. It can set for months at a time and cranks easily. This car is running and driving quite well now. I drive it locally. When I got the car, the only major component not working was the charging system. I installed a voltage regulator and alternator and it performs flawlessly now. The power steering operates smoothly as do the power brakes. It has a Hurst shifter in place of the original. This car needs a complete restoration, but since you can drive the car, you know that the mechanicals are all good and working. It has the typical Mustang rust issues to be addressed as follows: floor pan repair, lower door corners, taillight panel, trunk dropoffs, lower door corners, lower quarters behind wheels. The torque boxes are solid on the bottoms with only the ends needing to be fixed. Front frame rails are good, right rear rail is good, left rail has a bit of swelling that needs to be fixed, but is not bad enough to affect safety of driving the car. The pictures should give you a good idea of the condition of this car. This Mach 1, with it's rare color combo is definitely worth the time and effort required to restore. It is a car that you can also enjoy while you restore it. The original Mach 1 14" wheels were on the car when I got it, but the tires were bad, so I put these 15" Magnum 500 wheels with BF Goodrich radials on it to drive. You can have either set of tires and wheels, but only one set is included with the auction. Here is the door data tag information:

Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller
Thu, 24 Jul 2014We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.
Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a track-day weapon with 500 hp
Mon, 17 Nov 2014
Ford promises more than 500 horsepower and a torque peak above 400 lb-ft.
The wait is finally over. After months of spy shots, rumor and innuendo, Ford has officially pulled the wraps off its new Shelby GT350. Judging by the spec sheet and the promises being made - especially that the Shelby GT350 will be "an all-day track car that's also street legal" - the wait appears to have been worth it.
