1973 Gran Torino Sport Fastback. 351C 4V Q code, C6 Transmission, 9 inch rear.

Mileage on the odometer (18176) does not reflect actual mileage, it has probably rolled over at least once.

I purchased this car in 3/2009 from the first owner. The car comes with the original window sticker and owner's manual. Included are the body side moldings, original radio, and the five Magnum 500 rims, (four with old tires on them) and the fifth is in the trunk with a new spare on it. There is also a Procar Pro 90 seat and mounting brackets for two seats still in boxes and a B&M Transpak.

Some of the parts replaced since purchase include:

rear brake shoes and rear wheel cylinders
radius arm bushing
sway bar link kits
correct windshield with dark band on bottom
seat belts (changed to retractable style in front)
headliner
carpet
steering wheel (Grant)
rubber seals for doors, windows, trunk, cowl, rear window
window felts
stereo and speakers
Edelbrock Air Gap manifold
Holley 670 Street Avenger
Ford Racing chrome valve covers
starter
fuel sending unit
fuel pump
rims and tires (BF Goodrich T/A's)
A/C compressor and drier (Freon changed to R134-A, needs more work and comes with additional new parts to be installed)
front and rear bumpers rechromed by Goodmark

This is not a full restoration show car; it was intended to be a solid daily driver. The car runs well, needs minor work with the A/C, fan and wiper controls. It needs paint work and the seats need recovering.

If you just want a fun, reliable older car or a great starting point for a full restoration, this is it.

This vehicle is being sold as-Is with No Warranty Expressed or Implied.

2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
