This is a great car to restore. The sheet metal is great -but it has been sand blasted in the past and not primed. As a result, it is covered with surface rust.
Some comments:
---Title - a clear Minnesota title.
---Front fenders - great - no weld, no breaks, no rust thru, and I found no dents.
---Rear fenders - very nice, no weld, no breaks, I found no dents, but there is some rust holes ins the area where the fender attaches to the body, right above the running board splash aprons. I believe these can be easily covered and
hidden.
---Hood - also very nice - no weld, no breaks, no dents, all surfaces look straight.
---Doors - nice - no dents, no holes in the bottoms -- applies to both doors.
---Cowl - very nice, no rust out, no weld, , solid - two holes drilled cleanly thru on both sides. Looks like there may have been an aerial attached at one time.
---Running Board splash aprons. - again, very nice - no weld, no rust out, I found no dents.
---Windshield frame - solid, no weld, no bends, no rust out on the bottom,
---Gas tank - nice - solid, no rust out, no dents that I could see, no weld.
---Body - some rust out on the lower part of the rear panel, near where the spare tire hanger sits - it is largely hidden by this bracket.
Otherwise, both side panels, the back panel, the two roof panels appear dent free, no weld, no holes
---Body parts behind rear wheels - there are frequently rust outs in these areas. On this car, I found none.
---Radiator cover - would be okay for a driver, but not for a show car, as there is significant rust. Recommend a replacement.
---Splash apron under radiator - pained, looks okay, no rust out or weld.
---Firewall - significant hole - could be where someone had a manifold heater. Needs a piece of metal welded, or bolted, in.
---Running boards -solid - will need new rubber covering, and new edge strips.
---Glass - all glass is present and looks ok. The windshield is some imperfections, and should be replaced for safety reasons alone as original Model A glass is very dangerous.
On all the other glass, I personally replaced all of it on the Tudor I restored because of safety reasons, but you make your own decision.
---Interior trim - looks like most, if not all, of the window trim is present. Only a couple of door and window handles present for the outside of the car.
---Dash rail - present, surface rust, but no extra holes. - very use able.
---Speedometer, amp meter, ignition cable, key - not present.
----Windshield wiper - vacuum wiper is present.
---Wood - is surprisingly solid - some/most of it may be useable, but the roof bows, one is warped.
----Seats - two front seats, and one rear seat is included. - The wood frames may be useable.
----Radiator - looks good, may be an original ( I'm not sure) but no serious gouges on it.
--- Motor - is stuck
---Generator, starter, carb, distributor, tranny, rear end, all are present, but need rebuilding.
---Horn - no horn present
---Tires - shot, all need replacing.
---Chassis - complete but rusted, needs sandblasting.
----Shocks - 4 shock bodies (stuck) and a couple of arms.
---Headlights - nice lenses, but the buckets may, or may not, be useable. I've seen worse, and I've seen better.
---Tail light - should be replaced
---Rear bumper bracket is broken, but there is a replacement bracket that goes with the car.
This would be an excellent car to restore. The chassis and motor should be all gone thru but the sheet metal is unbelieveably nice, for original items.
Typically, you would have to replace all 4 fenders and the hood, at a cost of $1500 +, but here there is no reed to replace them ( in my opinion)
Use the buy-it-now, or bid high, and get a good restoration project.

Ford shares falling on news of lower-than-expected profits next year
Wed, 18 Dec 2013Ford has released projections for its 2013 profits, along with predictions of its 2014 earnings, and the news has forced the company's stock to stumble, falling over seven percent as of this writing. The Blue Oval is expecting earnings of $8.34 billion for 2013, although the bulk of that is coming largely from its North American operations, as troubles abroad continue to take a toll.
Calling 2013 an "outstanding" year, Ford expects its revenue to be up about 10 percent, thanks to gains in market share everywhere but Europe. But it's 2014 predictions that are causing stock prices to fall, as the Dearborn-based manufacturer expects pre-tax profits to fall to $7 to $8 billion, because of troubles in both Europe and South America, according to a report from Reuters. This is despite an expansion plan that will see it open an additional factory in the southern hemisphere, as well as two plants in China, all in a bid to launch 23 new or refreshed products next year.
The issues in South America aren't so much related to a fall in sales - Ford expects improved profits in Brazil and Argentina - but because of currency devaluations in Venezuela that are projected to cost it around $350 million. While that would still allow it to break even with 2013, Ford cites continued economic risks that could push losses even higher.
How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made
Tue, 06 Aug 2013We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.
Ford reflects on radical Mustang concept that never reached showrooms
Tue, 25 Jun 2013The Ford Mustang that we all know and love made major waves in the auto industry way back in 1964 by offering style and reasonable pricing with optional V8 power. Its long hood and short rear deck, combined with a low-slung and sporty cockpit, made a lasting impression in the minds of consumers and car designers alike, and its basic shape has so endured the test of time that it's still in use today.
This being the case, you may be interested to know that the first Mustang of 1964.5 wasn't actually the first Mustang at all, being preceded by a concept car that made its public debut in 1962. This concept was nothing like the car that would eventually make it into production, with a radical wedge shape and a small V4 engine sitting behind the car's two occupants, driving the rear wheels. In other words, the conceptual Mustang was pretty much the complete opposite of the production Mustang besides the name.
Ford has kindly decided go through its massive archive to bring the original Mustang concept back into the public eye. The company goes so far as to pose this question to fans of the pony car: "Should we borrow a few of these style elements for the next iteration of the Mustang?"
