Drive Type: 3 Speed

Trim: Fastback 2+2

The former owner of this 1965 2+2 fastback had intended on restoring it. He finely came to the conclusion that it will not happen. He sold the car to me with the understanding that I would be reselling it to someone who would want to restore it. The car has been outside in the elements for many years. I removed the front brake shoes and rear brake drums so the car could be rolled.

The drivers door has been change at some point and the original door tag is gone. The following is what I could find:

5: 1965

Assembly Code: "F" Dearborn, Michigan

Body Code: "09" Fastback 2+2

Engine Code: "C" 289 2v

Sequential Unit Number: 362312

Date: Estimated to be built mid December 1964

Exterior Color: Midnight or Twilight Turquoise

Interior Color: "D6" White With Black Trim

Axle: Tag is missing, but ratio seems to be 2.80-Open

Transmission: ID Tag Code "HEH-BK"-- 3 Speed

**Additional options include: A/C, Console, Styled Steel Wheels and Visibility Group.

The motor has an ID tag on the intake with a 1967 date so I believe the motor is not original. The motor is not set, but must have some rust on the top of some of the cylinders as I can turn the motor over by hand about 180 degrees. The engine is missing the a/c pump & brackets and the carburetor is frozen.

The front frame rails will need to be repaired from the shock towers forward which includes the strut rod supports. The front rails also need repair at the joint where the rail meets the floor. The top of the engine bay looks very good. The battery tray area needs a repair. The drivers shock tower has some rot through at the very bottom. The floors were poorly replace once and have rusted out again. I am sure the cowl is rotted out too. The floor under the rear seat is rusted and will need to be repaired. The rear frame rails have rusted through at the torque boxes and at the front leaf spring eyes. The trunk floors are rusted and the rear frame rails will need new rear extensions. There is rust in the door jams in the latch catch pin panel. There is also some rust through at the front base of the drip rail on the passengers side. With all of the replacement sheet metal available now it may be quicker and safer to replace entire sections of the frames and floors.

The interior needs to be completely redone, but is mostly complete. The front seats, rear seat bottom and door panels do not appear to be the originals to the car. The dash was cut for an aftermarket radio-am/fm/8 track.

The exterior will need a hood, trunk lid, fenders, doors, quarters and valances. The roof skin and taillight panel may be save-able, but they are both questionable. The glass is all intact, but the windshield will need to be replaced. The stainless trim is all intact, but has a fair amount of dings in the rear moldings.

This car looks to have been last registered in 1983 and it was not by the former owner. There is no title or registration with this car. Ebay requires me to list the type of title that accompanies this car so I listed it as salvage. Some states only require a bill of sale to register a car of this age while others require a registration or title. I will provide a bill of sale only with the sale of this car. You will be responsible for any other paper work that is needed to register this car in your state.

This car is being sold as is where is with no warranty expressed or implied. A $500.00 deposit must be received within 48 hours from end of sale or I reserve the right to sell to another bidder or re-list it. The Balance must be paid within 7 days in the form of a cashier's check or cash. Checks will have to clear my bank before the car will be released-NO EXCEPTIONS. The sale is final and is not open to negotiations after the sale. I can store the car for up to 30 days after the sale while transportation is arranged.

I have given a fair and honest description of the car, but my opinions of condition may vary from someone else's. Please look at all of the pictures carefully and ask questions if you need more information. The car can be viewed by appointment only and I will not discuss a cash sale. I will not disclose the reserve and I will NOT end the auction early for a cash offer. This keeps the auction real and open to all. Thanks Ken

Ford Fiesta rally car warms up in Sweden

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Rallycross is seeing a sudden surge in popularity with two series bringing the racing to the US and Europe. The Ford OMSE team is competing in both championships this season, and it saw no reason not to hold practice with a highly modified Fiesta in the snow of Northern Sweden. It brought together Andreas Bakkerud from the European-focused FIA World Rallycross Championship and Patrik Sandell from the North American-focused Global Rallycross series for some training and fun. They certainly appear to be enjoying themselves, too, with some lovely pirouettes in the powder.
If you're unfamiliar with rallycross, the discipline combines the best of rallying and circuit racing. Drivers (with no co-drivers) race rally cars over a circuit that generally mixes dirt and asphalt, and unlike traditional rallying, multiple cars compete side-by-side at once. Even better, it's often a very two-fisted form of motorsports with lots of car-to-car contact. Global Rallycross and World Rallycross will both kick off their seasons in May. With spring on the way, scroll down to watch the Fiesta kick up some of the last snow drifts of the year.

Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.

Ken Block walks you through his new 'Hoonigan Racing' HQ

Tue, 24 Jun 2014

Ken Block seems like one hell of a nice guy. I ran into him at CES this past January, and he dropped the video games he was playing to chat with me for a while. His crew also recently gave our Steve Ewing a tour of the offices you're about to see on this video. Good guy to know.
As it turns out, they're some fairly cool new digs. Dubbed 'Hoonigan Racing Division HQ,' the office is open to Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST owners who attend the driving program offered out at Miller Motorsports Park. The very same program that Ewing reported on just recently.
Or, if you've no plans to buy an ST or travel to Utah any time soon, you can let Block show you around himself in this MTV Cribs-style video. With interior decorating that relies heavily on shipping containers and luxurious amenities like a ping pong table, 10 refrigerators and a bear(?), there's no lack of eye-candy in the driverly HQ. (Judging by Block's outfit, you'll probably not go thirsty if you're a Monster drinker, either.) Take the tour along with the Gymkhana master, below.
