Ok, so I checked with the mechanic Nathan at Ken's Auto Repair, and he confirmed that his expert opinion is that the Engine is a 351. While I was there I got a chance to put the car up on the lift, and get a cool video of the under part of the car which I am currently uploading to the youtube channel. [ it will be done in about 30 minutes, currently 1300 or 1PM PST] . Also I responded to a question but it did not get posted on here, so here it is for your information a clarification on the door tag codes VS a Marti Report for the Vehicle, which will be included in the sale when the vehicle ships.
63A Mustang Sportsroof instead of BODY- 65A Coupe w/ Standard Int., Buckets
4A Black Clarion Knit Vinyl Hi-Back Bucket Seats instead of interior trim- 2G Ivy Gold, Standard Buckets
23J Scheduled for build: Septermber 23, 1968 instead of date code- 27B Feb 27, 1969 manufacture date

Good Day, I have some pictures of the top of the engine, and I think thanks to your questions we can finally put to rest once and for all that this is a 351W. The intake is an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap part number 7581. According to the website : http://www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-7581/applications/?prefilter=1 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-7581/ This part is designed for : Make:FORD Beginning Year:1969 Ending Year:1997 Engine Type:V8 Liter:5.8 CID:351 Engine Size:5.8L/351 Engine Family:Ford small block Windsor Carburetor Mounting:4-barrel square bore Cylinder Head Style (application):Windsor So that should confirm that the engine is in fact a 351W for anyone that is asking, sorry about all the confusion, I really wish I would have spent more time as a kid working on cars VS playing sports and working, But I digress. If I recall correctly the car was purchased off of Ebay [Ironic because here it is again] around January of 2001. It was a daily driver for me to go to school and work, I took the best care that I could with the car, but once I graduated High School, I joined the Marine Corp, and the car stayed at home, where it got put into storage. Before it went into storage it had a some work done to it and paint done as well. The paint job is not the greatest or most expensive. There are some minor chips, and different areas that some effects of weathering can be seen, but that being said, I have a 2004 Car that has a worse paint job than the mustang, so overall it was pretty taken care of. The car does shine up pretty nice, which overall seems to take the attention away from any flaws it may have. Also the car seems pretty straight to me. Overall I would say the car will most likely need a new paint job, but I am a perfectionist. The car as it sits now paint job wise is in FAR better condition than when I received the car in 2001. The best I can tell I would call the paint job Average. attached is a photo of the engine and part number. - oldfaithful20 |

Ford Escort Concept goes back to basics
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Here's the thing about China: The folks buying cars there have a very different set of standards than shoppers in many other markets around the globe. While we all drool over hot metal with bold designs, and while we appreciate automakers going an extra step to inject even their cheapest offerings with aggressive and interesting cues, that sort of sheetmetal sex appeal doesn't always sell in the People's Republic. Case in point is Jaguar, which may be designing a more traditional-looking version of its XJ for the Chinese market, or more to the point of this story, Ford currently sells the less-exciting, last-generation Focus compact in China right alongside the new one.
So consider this new Shanghai-bound C-segment concept a preview of what's to come for that more traditional, budget-minded, less-sexy market. More proof of this pudding: Ford's even calling this concept the Escort - a nod to the Blue Oval's compact car days of yore, and a name that stirs up thoughts of basic, affordable transportation rather than great driving dynamics or bold design. "Customers in China described seeking a vehicle that is stylish - but not one that is arrogant or pretentious," Ford states. And this new Escort concept previews a possibility of providing exactly that for this rapidly expanding automotive market.
What you're looking at, then, is one of the most simple Ford designs we've seen of late, though it still incorporates all of the automaker's latest DNA. The signature hexagonal grille is front and center, flanked by attractive LED headlamps and chrome-rimmed foglamp housings. The entire car's design focuses on clean, smooth surfaces, with one strong character line flowing from front to back just below the beltline. We will say that the car looks decidedly more premium from the rear view, where narrow, horizontal taillamps with an LED accent give the car added visual width. Bland as it may be, it's a handsome little concept, though fear what would likely happen if all of the conceptual details get dumbed down for a production model.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
