ITEM  You are bidding on a customized 1965 Ford Falcon hardtop.  The car has won numerous awards including 1st place in the Modified category at the 2010 Falcon Club of America National meeting in Dearborn, MI.

The car was built in SW North Carolina and has been driven less than 5000 miles since the restoration was completed.  I've owned the car about 4 years and am the second owner since the completion of the build.  The car is a great driver but is usually trailered on long trips to minimize damage to the paint.

The car is powered by a rebuilt 302 CID SBF engine with a 4 barrel Edelbrock carb, a Dan Williams top-loader 4 speed transmission and a Hurst shifter.  The engine breathes through Doug's full length headers, Flowmaster mufflers with the pipes exiting ahead of the rear tires.  A narrowed 8" Ford open rear completes the drive-train.

The exterior features a Crites fiberglass T-bolt style hood, side and rear trim and factory emblems have been removed and custom pin-stripping has been applied to the sides and rear.  Paint is a Sherwin-Williams BC/CC.  A stock steel hood painted to match the car is included with the auction.

The build included a new radiator and hoses and an electric pusher fan mounted in front of the radiator.  The fan has not been connected, but the sale includes a Ron Francis electric fan wiring kit and relay.  The factory wiring harness was removed and a Ron Francis Bare-Bonz wiring harness was installed.  The fuse and relay panel is mounted above the driver's side kick panel and the wiring harness is completely color keyed and labeled.

The interior features Mustang bucket seats with custom upholstery, custom headliner, an engine turned Haneline instrument cluster with TPI instruments, a custom aluminum dash insert on the passenger's side, new carpet with dynamat underlayment, a Pioneer radio, a custom console and a Grant steering wheel.

The windshield was replaced with the build and all new window seals, weatherstripping and window fuzzies were installed.  The rear window has a blemish and another used rear window is included with the sale.

The car rides on 17" Billet Specialties Fast Lane wheels and BFG G-Sport tires.  Front tires are 205/50-17R and the rears are 245/45-17R.

The rear wheel wells have been mini-tubbed and the rear springs have been relocated inside the rear frame rails. Subframe connectors have been installed.  At one point, the car was being built as a drag racer but the prior owner purchased it and built it as a pro-touring style street car. The stock fuel tank had been removed, the trunk floor filled, a 14 gallon fuel cell installed and braces were installed in the trunk in anticipation of drag racing the car. The braces and fuel cell could be removed, a stock type gas tank could be installed and the trunk could be finished to match the custom interior if a future owner wishes.

The prior owner had the car appraised in 2009 and it was valued at $35,000.  Since owning the car, I have installed a new Optima red-top battery, a reproduction 5 blade fan and heavy duty shroud, both emergency brake cables, Beam seat belts, reproduction hood hinges, a new clutch kit, pressure plate, TOB, dual reservoir master cylinder and a Wilwood proportioning valve and had the car pin-stripped.

The only issues with the car is a slight water leak on the driver's side, the blemish on the rear window, the passenger side courtesy light switch needs to be replaced ($10 part) and the heater fan has quit working recently.  The heater fan has just quit working and I have not had a chance to locate the problem. 

I have a clear Virginia title for the car.  The car is located in Richmond, Virginia.  I've described the car as best as I can and I would urge interested bidders to inspect the car in person.  Weather permitting, the car will be at the Ford Fever Classic show at Budd's Creek Dragway (Maryland International Raceway) on Saturday, November 9th for your inspection.  Send me a message if you plan to see the car there and I will give you my cell phone number.

The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  I have listed the car with a reserve and I will not reveal what the reserve price is.  I will say that the reserve price is considerably less than the apprised value.

Check my eBay rating and bid with confidence.

SHIPPING  If the successful bidder does not want to drive the car home, he will be responsible for selecting a shipper and for all costs associated with shipping the car to a new location.  I will work with the shipper of your choice to coordinate pick-up.

PAYMENT  A $1000 deposit is required via PayPal within 24 hours of the close of the auction.  Please don't bid if you must arrange financing or if you do not have permission from your wife to buy the car.  Final payment is due within 7 days of the close of the auction.  Final payment must be made with cash or a wire transfer to my bank account.  If using a wire transfer, the car and title will not be released until my bank notifies me that the money has been credited to my account.

Over the past two decades, machines like the Viper Venom 550, Ford GT 1000 Twin Turbo, HPE 700 LS9 Camaro and the almighty Venom GT have emerged from the Hennessey Performance garage.

2015 Ford Mustang gets pricing, configurator and less weight than expected

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

It's here; it's finally here. No more speculating or looking at dealer order guides, the configurator for the 2015 Ford Mustang is finally online. That means you should put down whatever you're doing and build your new 'Stang. Weight data for the new model has also leaked out, and while there is an increase, it's less than previously rumored.
The basic V6 coupe carries a base price of $23,600, plus an additional $825 destination charge for all models. Upgrading to the 2.3-liter Ecoboost costs $25,170, and the Ecoboost Premium is $29,170. If you need a V8 in your life, the Mustang GT is $32,100 or $36,100 with the Premium package. That puts the starting price up about $1,000 over the previous generation for the V6, but the turbocharged four-cylinder starts about $1,400 less than the V6 Premium, which is no longer available. Prices for both V8 models jumped about $1,000, as well.
If you need the convertible Mustang, the V6 starts at $29,100, excluding destination, $1,590 more than last year. The Ecoboost Premium 'vert is $34,670, and the GT droptop is $41,600.

2015 Ford Mustang renders reveal look of the real thing

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

This is, according to the pony-car obsessed kids over at Mustang6G.com, the closest, most accurate rendering of the new, 2015 Ford Mustang to date. Artis Chazcron used a combination of Ford CAD images and information from assorted spy shots to assemble a fairly handsome car, albeit one that conforms to the tired cliché of being more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Now, it's very important to note that these are still speculative renders, and that they only represent the base car - that could explain the lack of the Mustang's vestigial side scoops, along with other, newer styling cues that Mustang6G seems to think will arrive on production models. Those items include a new, double-bubble roof, although the Mustang aficionados claim that even if it were present, it'd barely be visible from these angles.
The front end is pretty spot on, compared to what we've seen from earlier spy shots, while the tail, with its interesting light design is something new. The louvered taillights look quite different from the current version, obviously, though Mustang has gone the whimsical route with taillights before. Also, note the new rear diffuser uses an integrated reverse light and rear foglight, the latter of which is required for sale in Europe.
