Up for sale from The Mustang Ranch in Golden, Colorado. This 1965 Ford Hipo 289 K code Mustang Vin #5R09K174889
has a DSO of 75 (Phoenix AZ) built Jan 15th 1965 and color "O" Tropical Turquoise. I believe the car was in Arizona
for half it's life then the rest up here in Colorado. As you know both dry climates and that is why the car is in
such good condition. The original Hipo 289 which still retains the Hipo K code vin number on the block was rebuilt
about 5 years ago. Hipo 289 heads, intake manifold, exhaust manifolds and distributor are still there.
Unfortunately the carb was replaced with a later model Holley. Also the transmission has been replace with a later
model 4 speed top loader. She still has the Ford 9 inch rear end, big sway bar and disc brakes. And as you can see
a previous owner added some GT parts. This is a very clean shell. The original paint is underneath the black primer
and the body is in great condition. All original metal except for the hood and both rear lower quarter skirts.
There is a little rust the size of a dime in the drivers floor pan and a section in the toe kick area of the
passengers side (nothing catastrophic). There is no exhaust past the manifolds so I have only yard driven it. The
motor starts right up no noises, leaks or smoke. The two things that I have found to be molested on the car are the
radio panel was cut out and a previous owner attached sub frame connectors under the chassis

Ford and GM link bonus checks to quality scores
Tue, 29 Apr 2014The poor first quarter earnings of Ford and General Motors are having an effect all the way up the food chain. Both automakers struggled with recalls in the first three months of the year, and, according to The Detroit News, they have responded by increasing the percentage of bonuses tied to vehicle quality for salaried workers, including top executives.
GM announced that 25 percent of bonuses (up from 10 percent) for all salaried workers would be tied to its vehicle quality standards. The automaker revealed in its financial report that it spent $1.3 billion on recall-related repairs in the first quarter, and net income was down 86 percent.
Ford also increased the quality proportion of bonuses for about 26,000 salaried workers all the way up to CEO Alan Mulally from 10 percent to 20 percent. The company announced in its report that the amount paid out in warranty and recall claims was about $400 million higher than expected in the first quarter. Its net income fell 39 percent from the previous year. "The change reflects how critical quality is to our overall business," said spokesperson Todd Nissen speaking to Autoblog.
Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
