This is a 7 day auction for this total BARN FIND. 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe with 289, automatic. This Mustang starts, runs and drives. This car sat for quite some time. It now has a new; gas tank, water pump, alternator, voltage regulator, thermostat. It has minor body damage to the passenger rear quarter panel. This car had an undercoating applied many years back, so there is no rust where it counts (frame). There is minor and common rust on the lower corners of each door, near the front quarter (see photos). There is also some light rust on things like the axles and drive shaft, etc. Brakes are about 50% pad left, tires are brand new Uniroyals (all match). Please excuse the windows being dirty, as I forgot to do them before I took photos. Everything works on the car, except the radio and the horn. The center chrome horn thing does not stay on the steering wheel. I think it needs "horn rings" that I saw online. Also needed are the two chrome arms that attach to the center of the grill (the Mustang logo) and those aren't expensive at all. I know that if I did the minimal body work and a nice paint job, this car would be worth much, much more money. However, if I were someone buying it, I would prefer to buy it as is, then paint it how I wanted. I hope that you feel the same way. Even though the roof and trunk lid are a little oxidized, the paint buffed out nicely and this Mustang still turns heads. So, don't think you can't buy this and drive it around for a while without painting. I have the muffler, which had been removed to make the car sound awesome. This Mustang is a real pleasure to own and drive. I do wish I could keep her, but I am looking to start a business and I need the money. I will work with winning bidder to get the car safely shipped at buyer's expense. I filmed a video of this car and put it on youtube. Ebay won't allow links anymore, so you can watch it by going to youtube and searching the title: "1965 Mustang in Ocala Florida" or you can search my youtube name: flauctionman

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Your Mileage May Vary
As difficult as it is to write this, I was actually excited about the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With the beautiful looks of the newest midsize fighter from Ford and a fuel economy estimate capable of shaming even the stalwart Camry Hybrid, the battery-augmented four-door seemed like a recipe for unabashed success. But appearances love nothing more than swapping our boundless enthusiasm for cold platters of disappointment. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid gets hobbled right out of the gate with a lofty price tag, and real-world driving keeps the sedan from even approaching those EPA figures.
With so many excellent midsize hybrids on the market, is there any reason to consider the newest Fusion Hybrid? Are sharp aesthetics, a well-executed interior and capable driving dynamics enough to overcome the machine's shortfalls? Not from where I'm standing.
Ford F-100 'Snakebit' shown off by Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford, along with KISS bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed, used SEMA as a backdrop to pull the covers off Snakebit, a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck that's been updated with Shelby Mustang-derived styling bits and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. All 550 horsepower are funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels.
Underneath the custom bodywork sits a chassis that's been stretched five inches and a bed widened and bedecked with billet machined pieces that are supposed to look like wood. The 20-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels ape those of past Shelby Mustang models. The interior is swathed in two-tone leather with a bench seat designed to look - try to act surprised - like a Shelby Mustang.
Like what you see? Bidding for the truck will take place in 2014 at an unspecified Barrett-Jackson event (we'd assume Scottsdale). Proceeds will be used to help build a children's hospital in Saskatoon, in the province of Saskatchewan, where Ms. Tweed grew up. See the high-res gallery above and the press release down below for more.
Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.
