Short text explains pics.

In restoring my 66 mustang to cruise-nite and outdoor showing condition I have found this book to be a much used reference tool. If looking for proper wire codes and locations or exploded views are needed, this is the source. The ford reference guide from the people who know best!

An unbelievable CD-ROM! Hundreds of large, crisp photos, clip art, TV commercials, a slide show, the "Red Book" statistics and prices and much more is included. The screen saver is worth the price alone. If you like Mustangs, you WILL love this CD.

The Mustang represents the difference between cars designed by financial types from those designed by car types. Just before the Mustang the need for smaller cars became clear. McNamara was in charge of Ford and his answer was the Falcon. I don't know of many people who think the Falcon was the high point of Ford's history. Lee Iacocca took the basic Falcon, put new skins on it and the Mustang was born. We are now in another period where the financial types are in charge, and the blah cars and the red ink coming out of Detroit show it. ==It's been forty years since the Mustang came out in 1964, and even the original ones still look great. In fact you might argue that the originals were the best of any of the Mustangs that followed. ==This book spends over half of its pages describing the various Mustangs that were built. The back of the book talks about restoration. But don't expect details on how to restore a car. This part covers things like maintenance and where to get parts. It is fairly general in nature. After all, things like rebuilding an engine would take a whole book by itself.

Recently I have taken a great interest in Eastern Philosophy and through my searches for books about the subject I came across "The Ford of Heaven" by Brian Power. The writing is not so much about philosophy as it is about the author's being born and raised in China, until he went off to school in England just before WWII. There are some very philosophical moments in the book and there are even quotes of Taoism and Confucianism. The best aspect of the book is the author's account of the people of the time, both the Colonials and the Chinese. My enjoyment of the book was so high I read the whole thing straight through (less than 200 pages). I decided to get on my computer and find more information about the author and to my surprise I found the book is no longer in print, nor is another of his closely related books. That, my friends, is a true shame

Have you ever drove a ford truck? Have you ever tryed to fix up a ford truck. The main thing that you will find out about a Ford truck is that they aren't just a truck but more or less just a good friend. Many people that have a ford truck probly have a nick name for that truck. And many owners will tell you that a Ford truck is very dependable in every situation. I have three ford trucks, 1979 F-250 4x4,1964 f-100,1999 f-150 4x4, and they are all geat trucks! Ford trucks have been a tradition truck for my family, and they always will be. All my ford trucks have great motors and are still in great shape, even my 35 year old 1965 truck, I love that truck. I have been brought up in a farming comunity and if you ask any farmer in my town they will tell you "I won't drive anything but my Ford." they are great truck all around! in closing I would like to say that your magizine is a great magizine.

Very useful for my class assignment. This book has quite a bit of info i needed.

This is a big book measuring 10+ 1/4 inches x 10 +1/2 inches and almost 1 + 1/2 inches thick.It covers Ford racing history where Ford Motor company have participated.Not so much as a detailed reference but a photgraphic reference with colour and b&w photos throughout.From Daytona beach,to drag racing,land speed records,Le Mans,Indy 500,Grand Prix and much more.

Highly recommended.

Well, how can one top Ford's original 1957 jingle(my title)? I LOVED this book, great pictures of EACH era of the ranchero from the roots('57-59) to the falcon, torino, LTD II, and fairlane body's. They had everything from the stock performance specs/options/trivia to enthusiant created street rods. At least two competition type rankings against the elCamino to boot. Maybe I'm a little partial, as I own a 57 ranchero but I say if you own or love rancheros, you NEED this book!

This manual is the first resource I go to everytime I need to work on my truck. The information it provides is informative and very helpful. It does NOT give incedibly detailed information about many things but provides the right information to get you started in the right direction. With the slight variances manufacturers make from year to year. (i.e. wiring diagrams, fuse locations, etc.) it would be almost impossible to cover every detail. With this manual, some background knowledge, and some additional resources, you should be able to do any task you have the motivation, and tools, to undertake.
