1965 RED Ford Mustang Convertible, 289 V8 Engine Code A, 4 Speed Top Loader, 4 Piston Caliper brakes, and Power
top.

Not only does this Mustang have a V8 289, It is a "A CODE" Engine. Which had 50 more horsepower than the regular 289. Backed with a 4 speed Manual Top loader Trans. It comes with Rally Pac Gauges. You can stop all these Ponies with 4 piston caliper brakes, Which was a
factory upgrade on this vehicle. Back in 1965 they only made 5,338 body code 76B, Which was a convertible with
Luxury Interior. To get this engine/ Trans/ Brake/ Gauge setup..

The interior is done in a beautiful RED which was the original trim code color. It was restored many years ago with
new carpet, dash pad, Front and Rear seat covers, and Door panels. Which are all in great condition, and might show
just some minor wear.
Paint work for the interior is very nice. But, shows some small flaws. The original A.M. Radio appears to work
good, along with the speakers. Speedometer gauge works good, along with the temp gauge, and tachometer. Fuel gage
seems to be intermitted, and is probably nothing more than a simple sensor. The sensor is an easy fix, and the
clock does not work. But, who needs to know the time while driving this beautiful machine..
The oil and alternator indicator lights work as they should. The 2 speed power wipers work on both speeds, along
with the cigarette lighter. The heater and controls appear to work as they should. Moving between the vents and
moving from hot to cold, and the blower seems to work on all speeds. It has good heat. There is a owners manual
located in glove box.

The power top works great up and down, The motor appears to be strong, Sounds healthy while running and the
Hydraulics do not leak. Top was replace a long time ago, with a new rear window replaced recently. The rear window
is clear to see through as you can see in the pictures. The fabric for the top seems to be in great shape! Still is
a brilliant bright white color. Frame appears to be in good shape.. I have moved the top up and down a few times
and it appears to work great, and lines up nicely to the window, and locks in place nicely.

Windows roll up and down well, and appear to be in good shape and clean. I didn't notice any cracks and are
believed to be the original glass. Both doors open and close like a dream, and the door locks work on both doors.
Lock Cylinders work with the keys as well. The trunk and hood both open and close with no issues. Including the
lock cylinder in the trunk. The trunk is equipped with a trunk mat, a spare tire, and matching cover, and matching
tool pouch. The dash shows 25,510 miles on it. it is unknown if these are the actual mileage. There is a
possibility the it has rolled over once before. There are 4 seat belts in the car to make sure you and your family
are safe on those nights to the drive in theater.

The tires have a lot of tread on them and have awesome white walls to compliment the beautiful red paint job. The
tires are old but are holding air like new. The car will look great rolling down the street, and would make anyone
proud to own it. You can drive it as is, or you can restore it to tip top shape if you'd like. But either way..
You will be the envy of the neighborhood. The rims are in good shape, and have what appear to be the original
stainless Mustang hub caps with iconic spinners. All hub caps look like they are in good condition, and are not
missing.

This stunning mustang is equipped with manual brakes and factory 4 piston calipers up front. The pads and rotors
appear to be in good working condition. But would recommend having the vehicle looked over by a professional, as
the car has been sitting in a garage for many years. The rear brakes are drum brakes, and appear to be working as
they should. The brake petal feels firm, and stopped the vehicle nicely. I have not used the parking brake. I just
put it in gear when I park. I am unsure how well it works.

The steering and suspension appear to be good. I only drove the car for a short time around a few blocks. But, the
steering was smooth. I did not notice any noise, and it felt tight. Steering appeared to work as it should, and
returned nicely after turns, which made me believe the alignment is good.

Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.

Production Ford Escort heading for Beijing

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Ford's long-dormant Escort nameplate returned affixed to a sedan concept at last year's Shanghai Motor Show. While not exactly a beauty, it showed a clean, straightforward take on Ford's current styling. The Blue Oval said at the time that it wanted to create a model that was stylish "but not one that is arrogant or pretentious." Job done. A year later, it looks like the minimalist vehicle might make its production debut at the Beijing Motor Show.
Autocar claims that the streetgoing version has been confirmed to it for the upcoming show, but so far, Ford isn't saying. If unveiled, the Escort is likely to be produced locally for the Chinese market with a domestic partner. Powertrain details remain a secret, but it seems highly likely that any production model would use a small three- or four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. Sales in other major world markets like ours are unlikely, but a test car was recently spotted in Europe.
Autoblog contacted Ford for confirmation, but the automaker demurred, with a spokesperson saying only, "At the moment, we are not confirming any vehicles planned for the show." It looks like we will have to wait to know for sure.

Ford's Mulally makes shortlist for Microsoft CEO

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Ford CEO Alan Mulally has made the short list to take over tech giant Microsoft, lending further credence to rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would ditch Dearborn and move to Redmond.
The report comes from Reuters, which claims that alongside Mulally, former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and three candidates from within Microsoft are on the short list to succeed Steve Ballmer at the company's helm, although previous reports claim the Ford exec is the number one candidate. Mulally is currently working without a contract, although Bill Ford seems to believe that he isn't likely to depart. Despite this belief, Ford was quoted just last month talking about the depth of talent on the Blue Oval's executive team.
"There is no change from what we announced last November. Alan remains fully focused on continuing to make progress on our One Ford plan. We do not engage in speculation," said Ford spokesman Jay Cooney.
