Nepean, Ontario, Canada

1966 Mustang convertible, purchased in Arizona 20 years ago.
Over $ 25,000.00 in receipts ( more than $40,000.00 spent).
This car is entirely original, Floors, Frame rails, Rocker
panels, Rear quarter panels etc. This is a true survivor and you can still see
the original primer from the factory under the car. It was built in the San
Jose Plant in California.
Nine years was spent completing the restoration: engine
was rebuilt, carburetor, power steering, power brakes, distributor and the
radiator. Also, new tires, brakes, exhaust, gas tank,rear shocks, tie rod ends,
completely new Pony interior, completely detailed engine compartment, new
Fomoco windshield, Fomoco hoses, Fomoco belts, Fomoco headlights, Autolite
ignition set. All of the weatherstrip has been replaced. The convertible top is
Power.
The car was repainted, stripped to bare metal and was
prepped using PPG products. DP40 Epoxy primer and painted in the original color
Tahoe Turquoise in basecoat/clearcoat. The body was blocked completely
straight and extremely good gap lines.
All of the chrome has been replaced or polished to a show
quality standard. The stainless was also polished. The majority of the
parts used were genuine Fomoco parts.
The only
items were not addressed in the restoration: project were: the transmission -
due to the fact this was done approximately 20,000 miles before the car was
purchased in 1994 and the convertible Top which was new at the time of purchase
and did not need to be replaced. As well the differential was not touched
The car also has air conditioning but requires R12 or
conversion to 134A. The seat belts are original and should be re-webbed.
This car was driven approximately 2,000 miles in 20 yrs.

Suzuki considering Cappuccino revival?
Tue, 13 Aug 2013It's not a secret that a few of us here at Autoblog have a crush on Japanese Kei cars. The diminutive sizes and cheeky looks of most of the segment are certainly endearing factors, but it was the sporting Kei cars of the 1990s that made for the most delicious forbidden fruit.
Suzuki's entry in that time and market space was the Cappuccino, a rear-wheel-drive coupe with a removable roof and roll bar, powered by a 657cc three-cylinder motor. The car hung around the Japanese market until 1997 (and was booted up in Gran Turismo form for years after that). Now, rumor has it that the little coupe could be getting a reboot around 2016.
The reports are still a bit short on detail; some indicate that a new Cappuccino could be built up on an existing Kei platform from Suzuki. If the new car were to keep the RWD layout of the original, however, that would mean building up the model on the live-rear-axle bones of the Suzuki Jimny or Carry.
Suzuki Kizashi recalled due to pesky spiders
Wed, 27 Aug 2014Spiders seem to love the fuel tanks of Japanese sedans. Mazda had to recall its Mazda6 twice for arachnid webs blocking their car's vent lines. Now, the Suzuki Kizashi is also being called in because spiders can block the car's evaporative canister vent hose, a condition which could cause excessive negative pressure in the tank, eventually leading to a crack and fuel leak. The campaign covers about 19,249 examples of the 2010-2013 model year Kizashi built from October 2009 through July 2012.
According to the automaker's defect notice released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the first report of a spiderweb blocking a vent line was in 2011. It began monitoring field data and found six more incidents from 2011 to 2013. In 2014, there was one more case, and with further investigation, Suzuki decided to initiate a recall. There are no reports of accidents or injuries of the webs causing accidents or injuries in the US.
In a similar move to Mazda, Suzuki is replacing the evaporative canister vent line with one that has a filter in place to keep the spiders out. Also, if the lines are obstructed by webs in a specific vehicle, the fuel tank will also get swapped. Scroll down to read the full recall announcement from NHTSA.
Suzuki previews new S-Cross compact CUV ahead of Paris debut
Fri, 10 Aug 2012Despite having one heck of a lackluster presence here in the United States, Suzuki still manages to do well in other markets. That in mind, the automaker continually releases new products and concept cars at international auto shows that aren't destined for U.S. consumption, but this might not be one of those times.
The aging SX4 crossover is in need of replacement, and if Suzuki is still committed to selling passenger cars in the States, something fresh like this S-Cross concept could be just the ticket. Suzuki has, after all, confirmed that the S-Cross will eventually make its way into production.
We have no other details to divulge about the S-Cross, except that it's a small crossover concept and that it will make its public debut at the Paris Motor Show in September. Suzuki says that the S-Cross has a "Emotion x Quality x Aerodynamics" design theme that uses "distinctive dynamic lines that start on the front bumper, sweep across the doors, and continue to the rear of the body." No offense, Suzuki, but we've heard that before.
