Vancouver, Washington, United States

Drive Type: Manual
Make: Ford
Mileage: 104,000
Model: Mustang
Trim: Fastback
What an awesome candidate for restoration. This is a nice 1966 Mustang fastback that will be an easy project for someone to finish. It is equipped from the factory with its original 289 rebuilt motor and manual transmition. Dual exhaust, drum brakes all redone last summer. Mechanically sound, this fastback is a good driver as is. It is its original color of Nightmist Blue, with all original unrestored interior in Parchment. A very attractive combo and nice and cool, unlike all the black interiors out there. The paint was redone at some point in the last decade and only has some minor flaws. But anyone that buys this car is obviously going to want to restore it. Its very very straight. No filler that I can find. The front floor has 2 spots as I have tried to capture in the pictures, they are about 3-4 inches long. The car will come with the 2 front floor sections new in the box. It also has a spot of rust in the rear passenger side floor, again about 3 inches or so.. The floors are original as you can see in the pictures and other than those areas are very solid. The frame is very solid and so is the cowl. If I were keeping the car I would just put a new floor in, just because im a perfectionist and I like the look of a new floor as opposed to sections welded in. But it could certainly just have the sections welded in for a driver fastback. The interior is all original and all complete down to the factory radio that still works! The only thing missing is the carpet, which was taken out to get better pics of the floor. It obviously will need some restoring as well but is all there. The back seat and all the assembly, trim and all is in very good shape. The door tag is present and all numbers match. Decodes just as it sits now. New magnum 500 wheels and newer tires. good chrome bumpers. Engine runs well and shows well. Some new and old parts come with car. Title is clear. Just turned 100k miles!! This is a car you can be proud of driving now while you restore. It gets a lot of attention now and will command even more when done. I am sure I am forgetting a few things so pls ask any questions you may have. I will also be selling my 1965 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE c code SHELBY clone soon, It is also a restoration in process, if you have any questions about either just ask! I am able to assist in transport at buyers cost. Thank you.

Toyota sells six of 10 of hybrids in California
Wed, 31 Jul 2013In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.
Want more? We'll let Bill Fay, Toyota's group vice president and general manager of sales lay the smack down:
New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
Ford demonstrates Mustang's new Line Lock burnout feature
Tue, 22 Apr 2014Been saving your pennies for a 2015 Ford Mustang? Put in a few extra shifts or some overtime? Got a great down payment ready? Well, however much you saved for your new pony car, start saving more - you'll need the extra money to spend on tires.
That's because the Mustang will come with a system called Line Lock, which can lock the front brakes electronically, allowing drivers to perform big, dumb, smoky burnouts without moving so much as an inch. It's sort of like launch control, only the average driver might actually use it.
Now, line locks aren't uncommon, particularly in drag racing. Usually, a flip of the switch locks the front brakes. The Mustang, besides offering the system from the factory which is unique in and of itself, looks a bit more involved.
