Original "C" Code (2) Barrel V-8. 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. Project car needs Interior, Mechanical i.e. Brakes, Shocks, Drive Train and Motor inspected rebuilt as needed. The car was purchased in Oklahoma and from all I know and was told it was always a Oklahoma Car. As far as I know and from its apparent solid condition I do not believe it has ever been exposed to salt. It has been stored since 1987 in dry storage, and came out of a garage of the previous owner who had been planning on restoring it for several years, he may have done work on it. The motor turned by hand last time I tried it approx. (1) year ago. The car rolls easily. Note: I purchased and never proceeded to Refurbish/Rebuild as planned. Has some version of 4 speed top loader and some type of 9 inch rear end. I do not know any specifics of the Transmission or Rear End applications. The car is as I purchased it in the mid 1980's. It does appear that the drivers side floor pan was replaced/repaired previous to my ownership. Otherwise the body is very solid from all points that I could see. Please review all pictures carefully and ask any questions you have about the car/pictures etc. As seen in the pictures the floor pan repair probably needs some repair, and it had appears it had traction bars etc at some point. It has a Lakewood Scatter Shield Bell Housing installed. Like with all projects there could be hidden issues that I am not aware of, i.e. I never stripped paint etc so I do not know what is under the paint etc.
In summation, Solid project Car, Stored at least (26) years in dry storage. Needs total Restoration. Has Interior seats and fold down parts. Also has the original vents and many small parts in the Trunk. Has Motor (no carburetor). Transmission (Not Original), Rear end (Not Original), Tires (Need Replacing). Do not Know if Gas tank is viable or not. Aftermarket bell Housing (Lakewood). No Carpet, Headliner, or dash pad etc.
I have a Clear Oklahoma Title. The car was transported by trailer to Michigan when I went overseas and has been stored at that location since 1986.
It is possible that it could be delivered for small fee within a few hundred miles of central Michigan
The car is being sold as is no warranty expressed or implied.

First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne
Fri, 12 Apr 2013You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.
Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
Meet Floyd Pullin, 102-year-old honorary president of Ford trucks [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013When we talk about trucks we often talk about how loyal truck owners are; it's men like Floyd Pullin who provide the proof. The 102-year-old man from Confluence, Pennsylvania has only owned Ford products since the 1920s, and he's done so well by Ford Trucks that the division named him honorary president for a day, not long after he took delivery of his latest ride, a 2013 F-150 STX.
That's the 16th Ford he's owned. If he bought his first when he was 16, he'd have flipped into a new car or truck about every five years. For 86 years. Not a bad run of business for either side.
Ford Trucks made a video to wish Pullin a happy birthday, which was celebrated at his local Ford dealership and was visited by a Pennsylvania state senator. You can watch it below.
