I have had this for about a year,  gradually repaired everything that was wrong with it, with the exception of a few things left

  Car has... New trunk floor from C2C, rear quarters under what was the washboards have been replaced with metal patch panels welded in,
 New Gas Tank, New fuel pump, new fuel lines, new water pump, a rebuilt Holley 4 bbl carb, new plugs, points, condensor, wires and cap. a New 1 wire alternator. New ignition switch,

 I have changed the leaky original slave cylinder style power steering with a new Borgeson power steering conversion box, new flaming river steering column and a new Flaming river waterfall steering wheel.
  Also changed the original drum brakes on the front to Power disc kit from Scarebird industries. 

The interior has been updated with 65 Thunderbird seats, non power, and the original rear seat,  The console is from a 1972 Oldsmobile 442 with the Oldsmobile floor shifter connected to the cruise-omatic trans.
New Carpet kit all new interior in very good quality vinyl. done by a locally famous upholstery shop here in Grants Pass Oregon.
 The car has new 15" tires with a one inch whitewall, wheels had to be up sized from the original 14" to clear the disc brake calipers,  it has a full set of spider center covers and beauty rings  
   A nice set of original Starliner fender skirts and I will also include a pair of new dummy spotlights.
  
Starliner has been brought to the first step towards paint,  it is a epoxy primer on top of 80 grit final sanding,  It will need blocking and final paint
     
It has a new heater core and temp control for the heater.  Original radio I did not bother to re connect,  The dash and all interior pieces has been removed and painted Flame red,  it also has a brand new
Padded dash cap. No speaker was installed when I put the dash back in the car. 
 The passengers side front fender had to be repaired (Not a real good fit)  but I now have a stamped repair panel when it does get replaced.
There is NO rust in the floors, trunk or body panels anywhere that I found.  at least not any more.
  
  The windshield and passengers door glass are both cracked.  I have a new windshield rubber seal and a new back glass window seal.  both need to be replaced. 

 The 352 is the original engine and purrs like a kitten with almost instant starts,  trans shifts like it is supposed to.   Right now the only things left are replacing the seals and glass, straightening the little dents in the fender stainless, rechrome the bumpers and have the new headliner installed. ( If I receive the rear seal before it sells I will have the new headliner installed as it evidently has to go under the front and rear seals.
   It has 2" lowering blocks in the rear and `1 coil removed from the front.
 Any questions , just ask, I will answer as soon as I can
'
I reserve the right to remove this auction at any time as it is for sale locally

I added some more photo's...  Remember this is an original motor and drivetrain,  I WAS going to just clean it up a bit and drive it as a survivor,   I did not do any cleaning or painting under the hood with the exception of the Borgeson steering box and the new Master cylinder/booster, of course the new brake lines, new fuel pump and water pump etc.  Trunk is dusty from the epoxy overspray.

2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
