You are bidding on a very solid, original-unrestored 1967 Mustang convertible with some very desirable additional parts to create a unique Shelby or California Special tribute car!

This Mustang was last licensed and driven in 1978 and sat outdoors until 1982 at which time the carpet was removed and it went into dry-indoor storage, where it's been for the past 32 years. It is still in it's original factory finish, meaning it's not full of bondo. This car is not a rust-bucket, it is very solid for an original-unrestored car! The rust that is in the car is from carpet and dirt moisture. Here's where there is notable rust to address: The outer-most edge of the driver's floorboard where it meets the inner-rocker; One small spot in the right-rear floorboard near the base of the driveshaft hump (both from carpet moisture); The very bottom rear inner-quarter panel on the passenger side; The front inner-fender top rail where the shock tower overlaps the sheet metal (two quarter-sized spots on each inner-fender). Here's the really good news about rust: The unibody frame is completely solid from front to back, including the torque boxes; The hood is completely straight and solid inside and out; The front fenders are completely solid; The outer-rockers are completely solid; The outer quarters are straight and solid; As you can plainly see in the photos, the great majority of the floorboards are solid. As you can also see in the photos, the inside trunk area and inner-wheel wells are completely solid.

The front & side factory-original tinted glass is all completely flawless, as is all the stainless trim.

The Mustang comes with a clean Minnesota title. The car was originally a 6-cylinder automatic car as you can see by the VIN code. there is no motor included. The original transmission & torque converter are still in the car, along with the starter, alternator and the original tire jack & handle are in the trunk. I do have several other parts that will go with the car such as: a good 9" rear axle assembly, rear-shock mounts, attaching hardware, heavy front-sway bar, V8 motor mounts, a manual clutch/brake pedal assembly (all these parts came from a 1968 Cougar GT) and a flawless chrome radio outer-bezel with inner & outer control knobs. 

The fiberglass trunk lid, fiberglass rear quarter extensions, sequential taillight panel and quarter panel side-scoops are all originals from a 1968 California Special. They are factory Ford and are the same as used on an original Shelby. The trunk lid is excellent throughout with no cracks or flaws inside or out. The fiberglass LH rear-quarter extension has no flaws, the RH has a crack and a puncture near the bottom behind the bumper area. The LH quarter side-scoop has no flaws, the RH shows repaired damage on the inside. The fiberglass taillight panel has one very minor flaw, the top-right outermost attaching screw ear is missing the outer-corner (about half the diameter of a dime). There are no other flaws or issues and the taillight assemblies are complete and in very good condition. The chrome outer-bezels do have some light surface pitting. The light wire harness assemblies are both nice with no flaws and all six steel bulb access covers are nice with no flaws.  

Please, please, don't ask for a "buy it now"; I don't want cars, boats, girlfriends, or trades of any kind; Don't try and impress me with how much you know about Mustangs; I won't sell the Shelby/California Special items separately, it all goes as a package, you part it out if you need to; If you don't have the money to buy it, then don't bid! Sorry, just getting all that out of the way. Please do feel free to contact me with valid questions or concerns regarding the Mustang. I also have 40 additional picture I am willing send to serious buyers by request. Rest assured my reserve not out there in "neverland" and is very realistic for the quality of this package!

NOTE: Do see my other auction for the RARE Mustang high-performance gauge cluster with the 8000 RPM tachometer to compliment this great project car!

Thanks for looking and good luck!

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
Scroll down for more about Ford's planned job growth as well as how to go about applying for said openings.

Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.
