1965 Ford Mustang Fastback

Up for auction is a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback.  This mustang features a rebuilt 289, 4-speed, with power steering, power brakes and A/C. 

This fastback received a complete restoration 5 years ago. 

The metal work is as follows:  New front floor pans as well as a new cowl & firewall patch.  All patch work was welded both sides, ground and filed, resulting in a very nice finishNew left and right full quarters, new left and right door shells and new left and right fenders.  New wiring harness throughout the car (under-dash harness, engine harness, headlight harness and complete pigtail harness, etc.).  New back-up lights, headlights, tail and side marker lights.  New interior, head liner, and seats, etc.

All courtesy lights and guages work.  I prefer mechanical oil and temp guages so I have aftermarket oil and temp located in the console.  The electric harnesses are still in the engine bay and could easily be hooked up to respective sending units and used if preferred, as both electric oil and temp dash guages do work.

The engine (original to the car) was rebuilt, bored .30 over with all basic requirements that come with a rebuild, but not an overhaul.  The original transmission (c-4) was used for a boat anchor and replaced with a Borg Warner t-10 with new linkage and shifter.  The new flywheel was balanced with the engine rotating assembly at the time of the engine rebuild.  The original 8" rear end (2:78-1) was re-geared with new 3.25-1 open, which is more in line with the 4-speed transmission.  Drum brakes were replaced with power disc brakes from a late model mustang.  Front brakes are Granada power disc with re-designed new spindels to eliminate "bump-steer" which is common on 65-66 Granada swaps.  During the rebuild, I welded in Shelby over-ride bars to rear torque boxes.  This was fine for road racing but the ride was too harsh so I cut them out and a couple years later and replaced them with Lakewood traction bars.

As the pics show, the car was down to bare bones with all new lines (brakes/fuel) and weather stripping added.  I used the trim and stainless pieces that were in good shape and replaced the remaining pieces with aftermarket as needed.  I replaced the heat and air with Classic Auto Air so all the duct and related controls/wiring was new.  New radio and speakers with input and USB jacks for an Ipod.  The doors shut and the windows roll up and down easily.  After 2 years of driving this car, I decided to improve the cars performance, so I pulled the engine and put a Pro-Comp aluminum head and intake, and a Erson cam and lifters.  (Cam is Erson E212421 / lobe separation 108 / lift .504 / duration 296).  The carb is a Holly 600 CMF Double Pump / mechanical secondary-manual choke with a 66 primary and a 73 secondary.  Large aluminum radiator, 180 degree thermostat (with no overheat problems in heavy traffic with the A/C going).

Overall the car is user friendly and is a beautiful vehicle for a daily-drive (as it occasionally goes to Wal-mart).  Minimum scratches with no road rash to the tires or wheels.  Exterior trim is nice.  Car is not Barrett/Jackson caliber but is a very high-end driver. 

I personally built this car (welding, paint, interior, motor work, etc.) so I can answer all questions, so please email me if you would like to know any other specifics.  I'm the old guy in the pics.  


On Mar-22-13 at 11:57:47 PDT, seller added the following information:

I forgot to mention, from the time of build, the exhaust is new stock replacements from the exhaust manifolds to the tailpipes.

I've also uploaded 112 build photos to my Photobucket website.  Please email me for a link to my web page as EBay will not allow me to post it on this listing.  Thanks.

Autoblog Minute: Ford Ranger, UK Mustang, Hyundai Hybrid

Fri, Aug 28 2015

Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over the Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of the Toyota Prius and a new Hyundai. Autoblog's senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the weekly recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of Prius and a new Hyundai. I'm Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. 2011 was the last time we saw Ford's midsize pickup in the US but according to a report from the Detroit News we could see production of the Ranger at the [00:00:30] Dearborn automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant as early as 2018. Ranger could compete with the Chevy Colorado and perhaps revive the compact and midsize pickup market for Ford, but the future of Ranger in the US depends a lot on Ford's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. About 2,000 orders for the 2015 Mustang were placed in the UK, tying up production of the pony car until July 2016. According to details in a press release from Ford UK, [00:01:00] it looks like Brits are a lot like their American cousins, opting for the 5.0 liter V8, with Race Red as the popular color of choice. Photos of the 2016 Toyota Prius leaked generating a lot of buzz over the styling. This fourth generation Prius will have some new competition as spy shots of a new Hyundai also surfaced this week. The car is said to be a hybrid and a bonafide "Prius fighter." Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, [00:01:30] including the latest in FCA rumors for 2016. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS

Sat, Jan 21 2023

Ford's now-defunct Mercury Division first began using the Marquis name in 1967, on a sporty full-size hardtop based on the Ford LTD, then began offering the Grand Marquis beginning in the 1979 model year. These big, boxy luxury sedans were replaced by big, curvy luxury sedans (on the same platform) starting with the 1992 model year, so today's Junkyard Gem is one of the very last squared-off Grand Marquises ever built. The 1991 Grand Marquis (or "Grandma Keith," as many refer to it today) looks nearly identical to its 1979 predecessor at a glance, just as the 2011 model doesn't differ much from the 1992 model. Ford saw no reason to follow short-lived fashion trends with its simple, sturdy rear-wheel-drive sedan. Only two Grand Marquis trim levels were available for 1991: the base GS and the (somewhat) upscale LS. The former listed at $18,741 and the latter at $19,241, which comes to about $41,494 and $42,601, respectively, in inflated 2022 dollars). This interior would have seemed comfortingly familiar to a 1968 (or even 1958) Mercury owner time-traveling to 1991.  This is the optional "full grain leather seating surface," which cost an extra $489 (about $1,083 today). Dig those opera lights! Air conditioning was standard equipment in the 1991 Grand Marquis and its wagon counterpart, the Colony Park. The engine is the good old pushrod 5.0-liter Windsor V8, which would be replaced by a far more modern 4.6-liter SOHC mill in the '92 Grand Marquis. This engine was rated at 180 horsepower. A four-speed automatic was the only transmission available. The early 1990s ended up being the last gasp for padded vinyl roofs being considered mainstream equipment on new Detroit cars; this one was called the "Formal Coach" roof and cost an additional 725 bucks ($1,605 now). Such roofs were still available on a few cars later in the decade, but their time had passed. Why would such a clean Grandma Keith end up in a place like this? That's easy: it got T-boned directly into the right front wheel, mangling the body and bending up the suspension. This damage might have been worth fixing when the car was five years old, but it's a write-off when it happens to a 31-year-old Ford Panther. 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Commercial - Savings Ad The granddaddy of them all, and on sale in South Texas!

Ford to auction Mustang Cobra Jet prototype for charity [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Prototypes developed by major automakers typically remain in said company's custody, but every once in a while, one trickles out into private hands. And that's just what we have here. Ford is donating a one-of-a-kind factory prototype for the 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet that will be auctioned off later this month by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 mated to a T4 competition gearbox, this rare Cobra Jet prototype includes a wheelie bar, chromoly roll cage, Weld wheels, three-link rear suspension, racing brakes, 9-inch rear axle and more. It's painted in a unique satin orange with reflective gray striping scheme, bears the serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1 and is fully ready for NHRA competition on the drag strip.
To be offered with no reserve on Saturday, September 28, 2013, the Cobra Jet prototype's winning bidder will also receive tutelage at Roy Hill's Drag Racing School in Sophia, NC, along with tours of the Ford Product Development Center, Ford Racing headquarters and Ford Design Studios with Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Scope out the video and details below for what could be the ultimate Mustang experience for a good cause.
