1965 Ford Mustang Fastback on 2040-cars
Bristol, Georgia, United States
The Car restoration was done 3 years ago and garage kept since with less than 60 miles since restoration. I disassembled
the car and had the body soda blasted back to bare metal. Less than a pint of body filler was used. Painted with
DuPont Chromamax base and 4 coats of DuPont clear. All chrome on the car was replaced new. The original hood was
replaced with a steel/fiberglass GT350 hood and side scoops added. Added the factory fog lights in the grille with
the factory switch in dash. All new weatherstripping and rubber. New windshield. Stripes were painted Guardsman
Blue using stencil kit for accurate size and placement. All new lights and lenses. The interior was replaced with
new seats, door panels, and carpet. Has fold down rear seat. I replaced the rear seat trap door with one which
holds 6x9 MB Quart speakers. Has new kick panels which holds MB Quart speakers as well. Has Kenwood stereo which
I had planned on replacing with Bluetooth retro sounds. Has new console with Hurst shifter and knob. Has factory
a/c which was working before restoration. Never hooked hoses back up after engine was replaced. The factory 289
was replaced with a new 347 stroker and transmission replaced with a T5 manual. I do still have the perfect
running 289 and trans that was removed. Has Holley 650 double pumper carb. Engine has Shelby dress up kit. Very
strong running! New aluminum radiator. New Flowmaster exhaust which sounds tough. Has new fuel tank and sending
unit. All gauges it the car works perfectly. I added an oil pressure and temp gauge also which is tucked under
the dash somewhat hidden.

Watch live as Mark Fields is officially named Ford's next CEO
Thu, 01 May 2014We've heard rumblings of a changing of the guard at Ford, and this live stream from The Blue Oval itself is set to confirm the rumors: Alan Mulally will be succeeded by the automaker's current Chief Operating Officer, Mark Fields.
Mulally, who is 68 years old, has served at the head of Ford for eight years, and his official retirement date will be July 1st, 2014. Fields, who is 53 this year, has been with Ford for 25 years and has been groomed to take the helm from Mulally for the last several of those years.
There's an official press release that you can read, but if you're more of a visual person, you're welcome to watch the live video feed of the announcement down below.
VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.
