      There were 422416 standard Code 65A  Mustang coupes built and 0nly 55000  CodeB  Luxury coupes, as presented here, built in 1966. This Mustang also has paint              code V Emberglow which was only offered in the 1966 model year.  It also is equipped with just about all the options offered in 66.

       The options include the following:

     *Power steering
     *Power drum brakes
     *Dealer installed AC (currently not functioning)
     *Very rare rally pack (includes tachometer & and clock)
     *Full lenght center console
     * 14X6 Style steel chrome wheels

     *Interior Decore  Group, which includes Deluxe Pony seats,Special molded deluxe door panels, Wood grain steering wheel, Courtesy door lights, and pistol grip door          handles.
      
      *Visibility Group, which includes inside day night rear view mirror, outside remote mirror, and 2 speed wipers.

       The door tag also shows this car came equipped from the factory with the following:

       *Paint code V........ Emberglow paint
       *Interior trim code 64....... Emberglow & Parchment
       *Engine code C.......289 V8 2V
       *Transmission code 6........ C4 3 speed dual range automatic
       * rear axle code 6.......280:1
     
 Even though it appears as such,  the C code 289 no longer resides under the hood. The factory engine has been upgraded to a 1993 Mustang 5.0 liter HO roller                       cam engine, however the 289 timing cover, water pump, pulleys, fuel pump, oil pan, intake manifold, and carburetor were retained. The larger 5.0 harmonic                       balancer and transmission  flex plate had to be used for balance reasons. Also chrome try Y headers and Ford Duro Spark ignition with new distributor were                       installed. So you  have the best of both worlds, better performance with the looks of the 289.
 
This Mustang has a very nice straight  rust free and bondo free body with nice fitting hood, doors, and trunk lid.   Very good quality, better than factory,  paint job is about 10 years old and still retains a very nice shine which looks better in person than pictures show. There are however some minor chips that have been touched up, and also some minor bubbling at the lower front corner of both doors, which I hear is very very common for these early Mustangs. The hood has a very minor dent in the center, but no broken paint. Center of the roof also has a paint cut about 1/2" long These blemishes are shown in the photos. None are objectionable enough, or even noticeable enough to detract from the general appearance of this beautiful Mustang. I also have about a half pint of correct color touch up paint that goes with car.

All chrome and bright metal trim is very good. The back bumper is new.

Side and back glass are original and very nice. Windshield appears to have been replaced.
      
 All rubber seals and weather strip is nice and soft and much of it appears to have been replaced.    

Tires are BFG 215/70X14",  Rears are new, fronts are 80-90%. Wheels are in good shape with some wearing of the chrome. Center caps are new.

Interior is fabulous with no tears, splits, or holes. Carpeting is new. The instrument panel, gages, and dash pad and door panels are very nice. Headliner and sun visors are nice with no staining or tears.  Has aftermarket radio with cassette.  Rally pack tachometer works, but reads high. Clock not working. Gas gage has some issues that I am trying to correct and might or might not work properly at auction end. Center console is very nice with new wood grain inserts.

Floors, frame rails and undercarriage are solid with no rust. Front suspension seems nice and tight. Exhaust system  is tight with no leaks.

The transmission, all components of the power steering system, and most components of the power brake system were all rebuilt or replaced very recently. Also the alternator, water pump, and starter recently replaced. Optima Red top battery installed in 6-11

This Mustang runs and drives as good as it looks. It is tight with no rattles.  The 5.0 liter engine provides good torque for responsive takeoffs. The transmission shifts smoothly with no hesitation, and passing gear works as it should. The odometer shows 61700 miles. No idea if this is original or not.

As pictures show the AC compressor is not currently installed, but the original compressor and all brackets will be included with the car. All other under hood AC components such as condenser coil, dryer, hoses, and wiring  are still installed on the car.

I have described this vehicle as I see it, and although unintentional I might have missed something in the description, so please ask specific questions you need answered. I do truly believe it is very nice for a 47 year old car and something anyone would be proud to own and drive to local shows, however it is being offered in AS IS condition with no warranty expressed or implied. It is the buyer's responsibility to read complete description, view all pictures, ask questions, have a third party inspection, or best of all make his or her personal inspection to confirm condition, BEFORE PLACING WINNING BID, ( NOT AFTER!!!!!)  Bidders with 0 feedbck must call Bill @ 502-839-8556 before placing a bid, or bid will be canceled.

ATTENTION TO ALL BIDDERS: Do not bid if you are not very serious and or do not have funds available following close of auction. I am using this site to sell this car, not play games.

Winning bidder must make a $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE  PAY PAL deposit within 48 hrs. of auction ending. The remaining balance of purchase price must be paid within 5 days from close of auction. Acceptable forms of payment include: Certified check, Bank wire transfer, or cash. IF paying by check, check must be cleared by all banks involved in processing of check before vehicle is released. Transferable title with both buyer and seller's names entered will be provided to buyer or shipper upon taking physical possession of vehicle.

If my reserve is not met, I might be willing to work something out with high bidder, if the bid is close enough to the reserve.

2013 Ford F-150 Limited

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.

FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.
