Up for bids is this 1965 ford mustang K code fastback. For someone that doesn't know this is a rare car. These K codes are hard to find in any condition. This car has been sitting up for years. The inspestion sticker on it is a 1984 inspection sticker. As for the drive train the front disc brakes and rear end look original but the motor and transmission are gone. It was probably pulled out years ago when these cars wasn't worth anything and had another 4 barrell 289 engine put in it with a 3 speed transmission. It is a 1965 4 barrell 289 engine in it just not the good one. It hasn't ran in years so I am sure the motor would need rebuilding. The body has some issues but ive seen worse. It will need the normal floor pans, cowl repair, rear lower quarters, and a taillight panel. The front frame rails look okay. The rear rails look okay except the very back of the drivers rear rail will need some attention where it bolts to the rear shackle. It has some rust in that area. The engine bay looks okay. It has all 3 VIN numbers stamped under the hood where they are supposed to be and has the original door tag as well. It has all the glass in it. It has the majority of the interior with it. Look at the pics with the interior. If you see it then it is there. If you don't see it then it is not there. The trunk floors will need some small patches but nothing major. This is a restoration project. These original K code fastbacks never come around so it might be a while before you see another one. If you have a K code motor stuck back in the garage then you need this car to make the whole package. I do have a clear title for it.  Here is the break down of the door tag.

63A 2 door fastback

K color silver smoke gray

5 transmission 4 speed manual

The VIN number is 5R09K159383. According to the VIN the second leter R means this car was built in california which is where the shelby cars came from that year from what I was told and have read which makes this a pretty neat car as well. This would make a nice car for a collector to build if you are hunting one. I have described this car the best I can so if you have questions please ask. Like I said it will need a full restoration. It has rust and it is old and hasn't been touched in probalby 30 years so its a project. As for payment I will accept cash in person, certified bank check, or bank wire transfer as payment for the car. I can store it for a reasonable amount of time until you can pick it up or have it picked up but will require full payment be made within seven days of the end of auction. Again if you have questions or need more info just let me know.

The big dune jump and the damage done

Mon, 20 May 2013

The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.

Ford, GM to collaborate on 9- and 10-speed transmissions

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.

Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.
