VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): 5F09C362312
Year: 1965
Make: Ford
Drive Type: 3 Speed
Model: Mustang
Mileage: 121,863
Trim: Fastback 2+2

The former owner of this 1965 2+2 fastback had intended on restoring it. He finely came to the conclusion that it will not happen. He sold the car to me with the understanding that I would be reselling it to someone who would want to restore it. The car has been outside in the elements for many years. I removed the front brake shoes and rear brake drums so the car could be rolled.

The drivers door has been change at some point and the original door tag is gone. The following is what I could find:

5: 1965
Assembly Code: "F" Dearborn, Michigan 
Body Code: "09" Fastback 2+2
Engine Code: "C" 289 2v 
Sequential Unit Number: 362312
Date: Estimated to be built mid December 1964
Exterior Color: Midnight or Twilight Turquoise
Interior Color: "D6" White With Black Trim 
Axle: Tag is missing, but ratio seems to be 2.80-Open 
Transmission: ID Tag Code "HEH-BK"-- 3 Speed
**Additional options include: A/C, Console, Styled Steel Wheels and Visibility Group. 

The motor has an ID tag on the intake with a 1967 date so I believe the motor is not original. The motor is not set, but must have some rust on the top of some of the cylinders as I can turn the motor over by hand about 180 degrees. The engine is missing the a/c pump & brackets and the carburetor is frozen. 

The front frame rails will need to be repaired from the shock towers forward which includes the strut rod supports. The front rails also need repair at the joint where the rail meets the floor. The top of the engine bay looks very good. The battery tray area needs a repair. The drivers shock tower has some rot through at the very bottom. The floors were poorly replace once and have rusted out again. I am sure the cowl is rotted out too. The floor under the rear seat is rusted and will need to be repaired. The rear frame rails have rusted through at the torque boxes and at the front leaf spring eyes. The trunk floors are rusted and the rear frame rails will need new rear extensions. There is rust in the door jams in the latch catch pin panel. There is also some rust through at the front base of the drip rail on the passengers side. With all of the replacement sheet metal available now it may be quicker and safer to replace entire sections of the frames and floors. 

The interior needs to be completely redone, but is mostly complete. The front seats, rear seat bottom and door panels do not appear to be the originals to the car. The dash was cut for an aftermarket radio-am/fm/8 track. 

The exterior will need a hood, trunk lid, fenders, doors, quarters and valances. The roof skin and taillight panel may be save-able, but they are both questionable. The glass is all intact, but the windshield will need to be replaced. The stainless trim is all intact, but has a fair amount of dings in the rear moldings.

This car looks to have been last registered in 1983 and it was not by the former owner. There is no title or registration with this car. Ebay requires me to list the type of title that accompanies this car so I listed it as salvage. Some states only require a bill of sale to register a car of this age while others require a registration or title. I will provide a bill of sale only with the sale of this car. You will be responsible for any other paper work that is needed to register this car in your state.   

This car is being sold as is where is with no warranty expressed or implied. A $500.00 deposit must be received within 48 hours from end of sale or I reserve the right to sell to another bidder or re-list it. The Balance must be paid within 7 days in the form of a cashier's check or cash. Checks will have to clear my bank before the car will be released-NO EXCEPTIONS. The sale is final and is not open to negotiations after the sale. I can store the car for up to 30 days after the sale while transportation is arranged.  

I have given a fair and honest description of the car, but my opinions of condition may vary from someone else's. Please look at all of the pictures carefully and ask questions if you need more information. The car can be viewed by appointment only and I will not discuss a cash sale. I will not disclose the reserve and I will NOT end the auction early for a cash offer. This keeps the auction real and open to all.  Thanks Ken

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon

Tue, Jan 3 2017

The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.

North American Car, Truck and SUV of the Year finalists revealed

Thu, Nov 17 2022

The finalists for the 2023 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards were announced Thursday at the L.A. Auto Show. — The Acura Integra, Genesis Electrified G80 and Nissan Z made the cut in the car category. — The Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Lordstown Endurance advanced in trucks. — And the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 advanced among utilities.  The winners will be announced Jan. 11 in Detroit.  The finalists underscored the industryÂ’s shift to electric vehicles, as all three utilities and two of the three trucks are EVs. The finalists were culled from a list of 26 semifinalists made up of three trucks, 10 cars and 16 utility vehicles that are new this year.  Notables that missed the cut include the Mercedes EQE, Subaru WRX and Toyota GR Corolla in cars; while the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Rivian R1S were among the utes that did not advance. The three trucks are the only ones eligible this year and have advanced through the voting.  50 jurors who work for media outlets across North America vote three times over the course of the year to whittle down the field, which was originally 47 vehicles. Jurors also test the semifinalists at an October group event in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility vehicle) were the 2022 winners.
