See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"1 of 7 known to exist factory Sidewinder Mustangs in show condition"

Sidewinder Mustangs have beed described as the 'Bigfoot Mustang', meaning everyone has heard of them but very few have ever seen one. If you are not familar with them there is a whole website dedicated to them with a registry, google it and it will tell you all the history better then me. Here is one that is registered in the Sidewinder registry as of 1 of 7 cars known to exist, total production was 44 cars all made in the same sequence of VIN numbers. These VIN #'s are a closely held secret so I won't be releasing the full VIN so don't ask, this helps to prevent clones of anyone with a Mustang that is close to these VIN's although there are quite a few 'box's' that would need to be checked in order for it to be considered a Sidewinder.

When I bought this car it came to me as a fully 'restored orignal' car that had been painted from its original yellow to the orange you see on it now. The car came complete with oversized tires on the rear, a nice fresh coat of dealer installed rubber undercoating, and Hooker headers and exhaust to name a few things. I decided to do the car properly by starting with what I couldn't see, underneath. I scrapped off all the gooey undercoat to see what I was dealing with. The car had new pans in the front, everything else was original. I proceeded to strip everything off which included all fuel lines, brake lines, diff, transmission, driveshaft, I even cut out the torque box's and replaced them with new. The color I found on the underside is the color you see on it now, apparently Ford used a slop barrel (all left over paint from their production line went into this barrel and used as primer on the underside of their cars) and not red oxide or black as what is commonly done. After cleaning the driveshaft I returned it back to original colors found underneath including the 'white dot' which indicated that is was the 4th pipe cut off the line which told the workers that it had to be balanced individually.

Undercarriage: Everything new or restored, transmission (original Ford 4spd toploader), diff. (original Ford 3:50 traction lock), completely rebuilt. New torque box's coated individually on all sides with POR 15. Pans cleaned down to bare metal, primed and coated to a computer match of the existing paint but with Devoe Bar Rust (they will last forever now), new fuel lines, brake lines, u-joints, brakes (discs in the front drums in the back), leaf springs, shocks, clips, e-brakes cables + springs etc., rubber grommets, correct exhaust manifolds, fuel tank and factory style exhaust + hangers from The Mustang Shop. There is nothing left to do underneath.

Interior: Is original and as I found it, no rips, tears, cracks or worn spots on dash, seats or headliner. Carpet is excellant, door panels are excellant, nothing you can do to make it better.

Engine bay: Orginal 351 Cleveland is how I found it. I don't know what was done to it in the past but it runs strong, pulls hard and has a nice idle. No leaks, electronic ignition. Engine bay is clean, nice and tidy.

Body + paint: Again the body and paint is how I got it, I don't know what if any sheet metal was replaced but the paint is clean and looks good. Color change was done well, the only place I could find showing the original color is underneath the rear deck inside the trunk which can only be seen when the gas tank is out. (That's how I saw it) No dents and no scratches, gaps are good and paint has a good shine. In my opinion though not show quality but very nice. Glass is all good, all lights work.

If I keep the car I plan to strip the body and return it back to its original color of yellow (it's the nice Ford yellow not the washed out looking one). So if I still have it I plan to add it to my list of winter projects in the next month or so. Original DSO was Omaha. Car breaks down to 1 of 2,989 with 351-4v, 1 of 62 yellow, 1 of 51 black vinyl, 1 of 3 3:50 traction lock, 1 of 2 color keyed sport mirrors, and 1 of 1 with power steering for those of you that like that kind of thing.

Conditons: car is sold as is, please bid only if you are serious and actually have the funds to purchase a super rare factory Mustang. However, I'm not going to tell you all that crap about the legality of the winning bid and how you have to buy the car and I'm going to keep your deposit (money which is not mine). If you win, i need a deposit of $2000 after the end of the auction. Then fly out, have somone ispect it or simply pay for it. Doesn't matter to me, but once the car is paid for and shipped you own it so due your own dilegence. I will assist in shipping in whatever way I can. If you do inspect the car and findout its not to your liking I will refund your deposit except for Ebay fee's.

I do have a collection of cars but I find I am leaning more to the european specifically British. I like rare and unusal cars. Cars on my bucket list include a 100-4, E-type, 60's-70's Lotus, '62 MGA's etc., other then that I'm not really interested in trades. Reserve is set fairly for a car this rare but will not be released. Email any questions.

Ford Fusion getting substantial refresh for 2017

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

It's only been a couple of years since Ford rolled out the current Fusion, but if these spy shots are anything to go by, it's already planning what appears to be a substantial update for the mid-size sedan.
According to our paparazzi on the ground, the new Fusion is being prepared for launch late in 2016 or early 2017. Although heavily camouflaged to keep it from prying eyes such as ours, it appears that the updated Fusion will tone down the Aston Martin-style grille, ditch the small corner window with revised front side glass and tweak the vehicle's overall shape. But there's more to the new Fusion than a styling adjustment, and our spy photographers have caught a glimpse inside and taken us along.
Apparently the new Fusion is to get a completely overhauled interior with soft-touch surfaces and matte wood trim to make it seem more upscale. There's an all-new rotary gear selector (like you'd find on a Jaguar, for example) hinting at the implementation of a new nine-speed automatic transmission. The prototype appears to be packing the Microsoft SYNC system, suggesting that the new Blackberry QNX system isn't ready quite yet - though that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be ready by the time the new Fusion is.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

Ford overlooks the Big Apple in the 2015 Mustang Convertible [w/video]

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Ford has done it again. Like in April of 1964, there is once again an all-new Mustang Convertible sitting on the observation deck of New York City's Empire State Building. This has been in the making for a little while, with the first report that Ford would recreate the sky-high publicity stunt coming out a few weeks back.
The process of getting the Mustang up there wasn't exactly easy. A Troy, MI-based company chopped up the new droptop, a necessary evil to get the Mustang on the Empire State Building's only freight elevator that runs to the 86th floor observation deck. But it was slightly more involved than just taking the car apart. The company, DST, built a mockup of the ESB's freight elevators, and then practiced its cuts on a second pre-production Mustang Convertible (measure twice, cut once).
The result of all this work are the images you see above. Yes, sitting in the crisp, morning air of midtown Manhattan, over 1,000 feet up, is this brilliant, Triple Yellow Mustang. Take a look up top for our gallery of images from today's event. You can also scroll down for videos and images of the process leading up to the ESB debut.
