Ford tweaked the 4.0-liter V6 to cut smog-forming emissions by 74 percent

This is in a description of the 2006 Explorer.

So a 2005 ford 4.0 liter engine has 75% more smog forming emissions? Good grief

Emery Ward's first car was a 36 Ford, and when he retired, he went collecting the whole range of 36 Fords: cars, trucks, fire trucks, dump trucks, bus, tanker

and he died 7 years ago, and now his collection of cars, trucks, and petroliana is getting sold off

learned about this from http://blog.hemmings.com/

coolest car I found at the Knotts Berry Farm, was this Falcon transformed into a Super Roo

I talked to the owner for a couple minutes, and he's a great guy... he relayed that as a kid he'd lived in Australia for about 9 years, and fell in love with the cars there.

So much so, that he took about 4 years to add the right parts to an American Ford Falcon to get exactly the right mix of Australian and American parts to get the car the way he wants it.

it took months to get the trail completed, and it's a XW Gt front end, and an XY tail. It's not the same year as the front. Nor is it a 4 door. I like this better.

best salesman of the year for the Ford Cincinnati area was won a trip around the world
