 This is a numbers matching clear title fastback. I bought this car from the original family after the owner had passed away. It was a Lucky Seven Mustang promotion, where in 1965 was put into  the Los Olas Casino as a prize option for hitting the lucky 7 slot numbers and Harold the owner had chosen the car which was a brand new 1965 Mustang Fastback with the 777 in the vin stamp over the $2,000 prize money and kept it basically stored away until his son and then his nephew owned it and used it for 15 years then put it away in storage where it stayed until I purchased it. The fastback is raven black with silver pearl stripes and black interior. The engine is the original 289 C code with a factory 4 speed manual transmition. Drivetrain, Floors, Panels. Radio etc all factory original. The drivers front rail had an area weld due to hitting a cement block underneath over 30 years ago and when restored will need some attention but does not affect the drivability of the car. The floors are very solid amd the

 body is very straight. The paint is about a $4,500 job and is a very good drivers quality paint with some flaws as almost all black paint jobs and would benefit greatly from a buffing but looks great as is. It appears in the pictures to have large scratches but that is just reflections there are no significant scratches or dents at all. The car starts right up and has a loud dual exhaust system. The wheels are chrome torque thrusts that have some surface rust that should clean up and tires are about 75%. The engine was also painted along with the engine bay and trunk, which is very solid. The car has been stored for the better part of the last 10 years and could use some tlc to run at its peak,namely a carb rebuild but the brake lines were just done last year along with the starter and solenoid. One could drive as is but should not plan a long trip without thoroughly going through it mechanically first. We spent a good amount getting it up and running but in no way want to guarantee a long drive home! All the glass is original and good, no chips or cracks, the window felt needs to be done and weatherstripping in the trunk should be done also. Basically its a very nice 4 speed fastback that will be an easy restore and should make anyone happy. Where else and when else will you find a factory 4 speed fastback? If you wait you never will. Fastbacks are projected to rise in price and value by 40% over just the next 5 years! Nada (which is a little on the high end) lists this car at a value at $17,800 for a total project to $53,000 totally restored.  This fastback falls somewhere in the middle so is a great value!

This is an amazing investment for a realistic price. I have dozens of pictures so if there is something you want to see please ask before bidding. Good luck!! All bids are binding contracts so only bid if you are serious about buying. We will also be listing its twin (his and hers 65 fast backs) its the same car but an automatic tranny) it's also Raven black and is a good driver. Make an offer on one or even both and we will consider it.  We can help facilitate transport either here or abroad. Thank you and PLEASE only bid if you intend on buying the car. I know there are a lot of dreamers out there but dreamers usually turn into non paying bidders. If you have less than 10 feedback please message us before bidding or your bid will be cancelled. I know the game now, open an eBay account just to ruin someone's auction. We are selling this fastback for a very very reasonable price and have much more into it. The buy it now is only a few hundred more than the reserve so don't wait!!  We want a clean easy sale so any inspections must be done prior to bidding and prior to end of auction. Thanks.

2015 Ford F-150 enters production

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Ford has given the F-150 a dramatic makeover for 2015, switching to an aluminum body that helps reduce weight by about 700 pounds. Because the truck is dramatically different, Ford also had to change the way it makes the F-150, so we went inside its sprawling factory in Dearborn, MI, this week to see the Blue Oval's new manufacturing techniques in action.
The company has added 850 jobs at the site and upgraded its stamping and tool and die facilities. The body shop is also modernized, and it has been fitted with 500 new robots that join the structures together. The first 2015 F-150 rolled off the line on Tuesday, and the trucks will begin arriving in dealerships in December. Get a closer look at the F-150's unique assembly process in our video.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost to hit 45 mpg for $16,445*

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

When Ford first announced its plan to put the 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2014 Fiesta, it promised hybrid-like fuel economy without a hybrid-like premium. We're still waiting for official specs on this engine, but thanks to the EPA's fueleconomy.gov website and Ford's retail site, we now know what customers can expect in terms of both fuel economy and price.
All along, Ford has said that it expects the 1.0-liter EcoBoost to get more than 40 miles per gallon on the highway, and now the EPA backs this up with official ratings of 32 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. These numbers are an increase of two mpg city and four mpg hwy compared to the current fuel-sipping Fiesta (the 1.6 SFE), and it also beats other three-cylinder cars for highway mileage like the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (44 mpg highway) and 2014 Smart Fortwo (38 mpg highway); the Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost is lower than both three-pot rivals, though, in city fuel economy with the Mitsubishi getting 37 mpg city and the Smart rated at 34 mpg city. This model handily beats high-volume small cars like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Chevy Spark in both city and highway numbers.
As for pricing, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered on both the sedan and hatchback as a $995 option called the SE Manual EcoBoost package, which is aptly named since it's only offered on SE trim-level Fiestas equipped with a manual transmission. Along with the engine, the package also comes with 15-inch steel wheels, regenerative brakes and a decklid spoiler on the sedan. This means the four-door Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost will start at $16,445*, or $17,045* for the hatchback (*not including $795 for destination).

MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.
