 This is a factory "A" Code 4 Speed GT car in Poppy Red. VIN # 5F07A692233 is clearly on the drivers side shock tower (see picture). The VIN plate is missing on the dash and drivers side door. It has a clear Delaware title under the previous owners name which I will be getting put in to my name sometime this week. The car was last tagged in 02 and has sat since then. We drained the gas tank,had the Holley single pump professionally rebuilt locally by Stinger Engines,new Autolite plugs installed,changed the oil and filter and put a new fuel filter in(canister type). It runs a little rough before it warms up but idles smoothly once warm.I never adjusted the points or put a dwell meter on it,just set the timing.It does not knock or smoke. The engine is stock with the exception it has a Holley 600 CFM Single pumper Carburetor with a low rise old school aluminum intake. There is also a Lakewood blow proof bell housing with stock cast iron exhaust manifolds and dual exhaust with the trumpets coming out the back.As far as I know the engine has never been apart and it still has the 65 style canister type fuel filter.The exhaust is quiet and there are no tapping lifters .The clutch has some travel before releasing but it is not slipping or chattering.It has the factory T Handle shifter and will drive down the road. It stops and steers and has the factory Kelsey Hayes 4 piston brakes up front. The car is very solid along with the frame rails and floors,shock towers,quarter panels both inside and out and the trunk floor. If you have restored one you know this is where the problem areas are. The right front fender is bubbled on the lower end (see picture) and should be replaced.There is also some surface rust under the rear window molding (see picture). The car looks great from 20 feet away, although it does need waxed and could use a paint job. There is a big scrape on the drivers side top fender and hood and part of the cowl panel where something must of fell on it (not dented). The wheels are rusty from sitting,I had to repair one flat tire and amazingly it had a original center cap not a repo. There is an extra styled steel wheel with tire in excellent condition in the trunk. Missing jack and hold down. The tires do hold air but have some cracking from age and should be replaced along with the wheels. The odometer reads 91,509 which I believe to be original since the title I had when last registered on 6/8/02 had 87,283 on it.The interior will need the carpet replaced since it is faded and torn. Also the drivers seat needs recovered.It has the deluxe wood grain 140 MPH speedometer and wood grain glove box. Standard seats and door panels with deluxe door handles.Aftermarket steering wheel (I have the original black wheel with horn ring included) and power steering.It has aftermarket seat belts and the back deck panel just below the rear window is cut and has aftermarket 6X9 speakers in it. There is a aftermarket Mustang cassette radio in it with some wires hanging from under the dash from the radio. I also have the original AM Radio included. Has the original Fog light switch under the dash (pictured). Will need some wiring work turn signals not working as well as some other things. This would be a very easy restoration on a very desireable solid car which is hard to find. Would make a great father son project. Once again this is a car that needs restored and needs mostly cosmetics such as outside door handles, gas cap, back up lamps that have pitting and are a easy fix. The bumpers are decent driver quality as well as the fog lamps that say fog on them and are not cracked. I put new tail light doors on with Ford part #s and one of the lenses is a little faded.E-Mail me with any questions before bidding or you can reach me on my cell at (302)222-5881.Please ask your wife ,husband partner or whoever before bidding and only bid if you have the money.We take our auctions seriosely and have a 100% feedback.A $500 pay-pal deposit is due 5 days after auction end with the balance being wired to our account within 10 days of auction end.We will provide you with a routing number and account number after auction ends.

How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be

Fri, 20 Sep 2013

Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.

Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.

2015 Ford Mustang production to begin on July 14? Not quite, says Ford

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Mustang6g.com believes that it has unlocked start date for 2015 Ford Mustang production citing a Ford dealer communiqué. According to the report, job one on the 2015 hardtop will allegedly start in just a few days, on July 14, although units that are known as "OK to Buy" won't enter production until September 9. The cars built between those dates are most likely final pre-production cars for the executive test fleet, and will likely include the cars we'll be driving at the media launch.
Sun worshippers, meanwhile, would seem to have a longer wait. Job one on the droptop supposedly isn't slated to start until September 14, with production models starting on October 27. As is the case with the hardtop, these final pre-pros are for the execs and media to test, while actual dealer orders will come from vehicles made after the October date.
After speaking to Ford, though, we wouldn't put a great deal of stock in those dates as reported. We reached out to Said Deep, Ford's North American Product Communications Manager.
