 This is a numbers matching clear title fastback. I bought this car from the original family after the owner had passed away. It was a Lucky Seven Mustang promotion, where in 1965 was put into  the Los Olas Casino as a prize option for hitting the lucky 7 slot numbers and Harold the owner had chosen the car which was a brand new 1965 Mustang Fastback with the 777 in the vin stamp over the $2,000 prize money and kept it basically stored away until his son and then his nephew owned it and used it for 15 years then put it away in storage where it stayed until I purchased it. The fastback is raven black with silver pearl stripes and black interior. The engine is the original 289 C code with a factory 4 speed manual transmition. Drivetrain, Floors, Panels. Radio etc all factory original. The drivers front rail had an area weld due to hitting a cement block underneath over 30 years ago and when restored will need some attention but does not affect the drivability of the car. The floors are very solid amd the

 body is very straight. The paint is about a $4,500 job and is a very good drivers quality paint with some flaws as almost all black paint jobs and would benefit greatly from a buffing but looks great as is. It appears in the pictures to have large scratches but that is just reflections there are no significant scratches or dents at all. The car starts right up and has a loud dual exhaust system. The wheels are chrome torque thrusts that have some surface rust that should clean up and tires are about 75%. The engine was also painted along with the engine bay and trunk, which is very solid. The car has been stored for the better part of the last 10 years and could use some tlc to run at its peak,namely a carb rebuild but the brake lines were just done last year along with the starter and solenoid. One could drive as is but should not plan a long trip without thoroughly going through it mechanically first. We spent a good amount getting it up and running but in no way want to guarantee a long drive home! All the glass is original and good, no chips or cracks, the window felt needs to be done and weatherstripping in the trunk should be done also. Basically its a very nice 4 speed fastback that will be an easy restore and should make anyone happy. Where else and when else will you find a factory 4 speed fastback? If you wait you never will. Fastbacks are projected to rise in price and value by 40% over just the next 5 years! Nada (which is a little on the high end) lists this car at a value at $17,800 for a total project to $53,000 totally restored.  This fastback falls somewhere in the middle so is a great value!

This is an amazing investment for a realistic price. I have dozens of pictures so if there is something you want to see please ask before bidding. Good luck!! All bids are binding contracts so only bid if you are serious about buying. We will also be listing its twin (his and hers 65 fast backs) its the same car but an automatic tranny) it's also Raven black and is a good driver. Make an offer on one or even both and we will consider it.  We can help facilitate transport either here or abroad. Thank you and PLEASE only bid if you intend on buying the car. I know there are a lot of dreamers out there but dreamers usually turn into non paying bidders. If you have less than 10 feedback please message us before bidding or your bid will be cancelled. I know the game now, open an eBay account just to ruin someone's auction. We are selling this fastback for a very very reasonable price and have much more into it. The buy it now is only a few hundred more than the reserve so don't wait!!  We want a clean easy sale so any inspections must be done prior to bidding and prior to end of auction. Thanks.

Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.

Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014



Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).

Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.
