1966 Ford Mustang GT coupe with pony interior. I have owned this car for the last 15 years, I purchased it with the intentions of doing a ground up restoration but just never got around to it so I have decided to offer it for sale. This Mustang is a true GT from the light bar grill to the exhaust trumpets. This car has all of it's original metal from the ground up and has never been modified, wrecked, restored, or molested in any way. The only rust that I am aware of is in the driver door front in the wide white stripe and it could be covered with two quarters. This car was purchased new in California and remained there the first 22 years of it's life. In 1988 the original owner gave it to his son for a wedding present and it was driven back to Kansas where it sat in a garage for approximately 10 years. I purchased the Mustang in 1998 from the son and it has sat in a garage for the last 15 years.  This is an amazing survivor, to be 47 years old, with 79,067 actual miles, still wearing it's original emberglow paint and emberglow and parchment pony interior. The paint is worn through in spots from washing and buffing, and the interior is starting to show wear. A few years back I purchased a complete set of new pony seat covers because I was concerned that this color would be discontinued. These covers were never installed and will go with the car. The body over all is very straight, the worst place is on the driver front fender and looks like something fell against it and left a crease. There are a few other minor scrapes, scratches and dings one would expect on a car that was on the road for 22 years. All of the glass is in excellent condition and appears to be factory tinted. On the interior, the headliner has a hole in it, the original dash pad does not have any cracks, the door panels do not have any cracks, the carpets still look very good, both bucket seats have seams that have opened up, and the back seat looks like it has never been sat in. The dash is complete with all the gauges still intact and the original AM radio still in place. As you can tell from the pictures this car has a full console and a Rally Pac (tachometer and clock). The pony wood grain steering wheel does not have any separation from setting in the sun. The car still has it's original styled steel factory wheels with trim rings and centers. As you can tell from the pictures, the underside of this car is in great condition including the frame rails, trunk drops, floor pans, shock towers, trunk floors, battery area, and the car has never been undercoated. This Mustang is still powered by it's original 289CI / 225HP 4 barrel engine and it's C-4 automatic transmission. The carburetor is still the 4100 Ford  original. Through the years the engine has been started at least once a year. Due to long term storage the car is currently not road worthy. I can start it with a can of starting fluid and a jump box so potential buyers can hear it run, but it will not pull itself onto a trailer. The brakes are not working, and the tires are over 15 years old, and the mufflers are starting to show their age.  This is an excellent example of an early GT equipped original Mustang with a very rare low production color combination that with very little effort can be returned to it's original legendary showroom condition. I have tried to describe this Mustang to the best of my ability but have probably missed something that you need to know, if so just ask. If you would like to inspect this car prior to the end of the auction, again, just ask and arrangements will be made.  Please do not ask if I have a buy it now price, because I do not. Since I do not know how much this car is worth I am hoping Ebay will help determine that. This car has a good Missouri title. The winning bidder will not be disappointed. The buyer will be responsible for all transportation costs if required.

Ford demonstrates Mustang's new Line Lock burnout feature

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Been saving your pennies for a 2015 Ford Mustang? Put in a few extra shifts or some overtime? Got a great down payment ready? Well, however much you saved for your new pony car, start saving more - you'll need the extra money to spend on tires.
That's because the Mustang will come with a system called Line Lock, which can lock the front brakes electronically, allowing drivers to perform big, dumb, smoky burnouts without moving so much as an inch. It's sort of like launch control, only the average driver might actually use it.
Now, line locks aren't uncommon, particularly in drag racing. Usually, a flip of the switch locks the front brakes. The Mustang, besides offering the system from the factory which is unique in and of itself, looks a bit more involved.

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.

Jay Leno drives postcard-perfect '32 Ford Highboy Roadster

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

At the turn of the century, it was arguably the Honda Civic that best defined inexpensive performance tuning, and in the '50s it was the Tri-5 Chevys. One of the earliest platforms to gain a huge following among young people looking for a cheap way to go fast was the classic '32 Ford Highboy Roadster. This week, Jay Leno's Garage looks at one of the very first vehicles that defined the look of the hot rod heyday.
This '32 Ford was built in the '40s and graced the cover of the fourth issue of Hot Rod Magazine back in 1948. All of the hot rods that you see shining at car shows today owe a serious debt of gratitude to this roadster. It bears all of the cues that define the look, including a notched frame and hidden door hinges. Under the three-piece hood is a flathead V8 boasting all sorts of period modifications, including copper cylinder heads. It was seriously fast in its era too, and proved it by reaching 112.21 miles per hour on a dry lakebed in 1947.
These days, this hot rod is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Although, if you can't make it to California to see it, the United States Postal Service is celebrating this Ford with one of its two hot rod Forever stamps. Like Jay says in the video, in terms of hot rodding, "it all comes back to this." Check out the video to learn more about this rolling piece of tuning history.
