1966 Mustang Coupe, 4-Speed Top Loader

This beautifully ground up restored Mustang was purchased in 1966 for the first owner's daughter as a highschool gift. It began as a C-4 automatic and the A/C system you see in the pics was dealer installed in 1966. A product of the San Jose factory, California car its entire life. It was sold to my buddy in 1976 where he fully intended to restore someday. Well, I purchased the vehicle from him after sitting for 37 years untouched, his wife drove the vehicle 1976 - 1980 and then they parked it in their backyard. They unfortunately left the windows cracked to make sure it would always be aired out which resulted in me having to replace the floor boards which was the only rust in the car. The trunk was perfect and the rest of the vehicle was nice as well.

We stripped the car which was in original faded Raven Black down to metal and were pleasantly surprised to find ZERO rust or bondo anywhere on the whole body and frame. This project turned out to be a Frame Up restoration, the bodywork and paint was performed by Rick Flanders an autobody veteran and his comments are that he has never seen a car so straight with no damage or rust at all.

The 289 original motor was pulled and disassembled, bottom end and top end were extremely tight and clean, we installed a new timing chain and total gasket kit, had all exterior motor parts powder coated, including timing cover, all a/c and alternator brackets and reassembled. The original valve covers were painted in mustang dark blue.

I will be purchasing a new steering wheel, (Choice of Grant GT black or wood wheel, Buyer can choose). Will install all the floor body plugs, I have them just haven't installed yet. You may notice an oil drip on the bottom of the bell housing, my oil sending unit was leaking prior to the pic's, I didn't notice it until I already shot the pic's. It has been fixed and there are no leaks.

The Paint Job is 4 weeks old, PPG Raven Black Base Coat (factory matching color)
PPG Clear Coat, Color sanded, buffed three stages and final polish blue pad to create a beautiful original Raven Black finish. As you can see from the pic's, this paint job turns heads. There was one booboo while the buffing was taking place, the buffer handle knicked the driver top fender so the painter had to touch it up, I didn't include a pic but I am addressing the only flaw I know of in the paint itself. Other than that, this was a $9,300.00 paint job and took them 6 working days to complete.

The total restoration includes in excess of 500 man hours with meticulous detail work throughout the project. Receipts alone for the total restoration exceed $18,000.00 not including the purchase of the Straight Factory Black on Black Mustang Coupe. My buddy I purchased the mustang from installed a three speed in 1976 which I quickly pulled, then purchased a factory Top Loader along with a factory Hurst shifter and upgraded to a four-speed. I pulled the cover off, all gears are perfect and in tact, Tranny shifts perfectly, tight, smooth. The shifter nob is a vintage nob with the correct shift pattern engraved on the top. The engine had a two barrel intake which I also removed, purchased an original 4v intake and installed along with the 4-Barrel 650cfm Edlebrock. I had the air cleaner powder coated and I do have the snorkel as well, just not installed but will go with the sale.

We test drove the Mustang and it runs purrrrr-fect, very strong and responsive, turns well, brakes well and overall is a blast to drive. A/C is installed but not operating, all parts are there if you need a/c in your area. Original radio, stations come in with tuner but buttons do not engage. This is one excellent 1966 Mustang 4-Speed and whoever wins this auction will be very pleased.....Enjoy the pics and if you require more pics, I took over 200 shots of the entire restoration but ebay only allows 24 pics when they host the auction. Send your email address if you'd like more pics, I have shots of the body when sanded down to bare metal, then shot in primer sealer, base coat, clear coat all the way through....

A tribute to William Clay Ford

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.

Ford builds USAF Thunderbirds Edition Mustang for charity

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Each year since 2008, Ford has created a one-off Mustang to celebrate military aviation, and the cars have been auctioned off at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles charity event to raise money to inspire the next generation of aviators. This year's charity car is the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, which also helps celebrate 60 years of Thunderbirds air show excellence.
Of all the EAA charity cars, this Thunderbirds Edition is the most in depth. Painted to match the F-16 Tomcat fighter jets used by Thunderbirds, this Mustang also gets a widebody kit and 22-inch Forgiato wheels to go with the cockpit's Recaro bucket seats, rear-seat delete and modified navigation screen and gauge cluster. Even the Mustang's projector puddle lights have been changed to show an aircraft silhouette - rather than the Mustang's galloping horse logo - when the doors are open.
Themes for previous EAA charity cars include the Blue Angels, SR-71 Blackbird and the Red Tails as well as the F-22 Raptor-inspired AV8R and AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" models. Scroll down for the press release for the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, and be sure to check out our galleries for all six aviation-themed Mustangs.
