1966 Mustang Coupe, 4-Speed Top Loader


This beautifully ground up restored Mustang was purchased in 1966 for the first owner's daughter as a highschool gift.  It began as a C-4 automatic and the A/C system you see in the pics was dealer installed in 1966.  A product of the San Jose factory, California car its entire life.  It was sold to my buddy in 1976 where he fully intended to restore someday.  Well, I purchased the vehicle from him after sitting for 37 years untouched, his wife drove the vehicle 1976 - 1980 and then they parked it in their backyard.  They unfortunately left the windows cracked to make sure it would always be aired out which resulted in me having to replace the floor boards which was the only rust in the car.  The trunk was perfect and the rest of the vehicle was nice as well.

We stripped the car which was in original faded Raven Black down to metal and were pleasantly surprised to find ZERO rust or bondo anywhere on the whole body and frame.  This project turned out to be a Frame Up restoration, the bodywork and paint was performed by Rick Flanders an autobody veteran and his comments are that he has never seen a car so straight with no damage or rust at all.

The 289 original motor was pulled and disassembled, bottom end and top end were extremely tight and clean, we installed a new timing chain and total gasket kit, had all exterior motor parts powder coated, including timing cover, all a/c and alternator brackets and reassembled.  The original valve covers were painted in mustang dark blue.

I will be purchasing a new steering wheel, (Choice of Grant GT black or wood wheel, Buyer can choose).  Will install all the floor body plugs, I have them just haven't installed yet.  You may notice an oil drip on the bottom of the bell housing, my oil sending unit was leaking prior to the pic's, I didn't notice it until I already shot the pic's.  It has been fixed and there are no leaks.

The Paint Job is 4 weeks old, PPG Raven Black Base Coat (factory matching color)
PPG Clear Coat, Color sanded, buffed three stages and final polish blue pad to create a beautiful original Raven Black finish.  As you can see from the pic's, this paint job turns heads.  There was one booboo while the buffing was taking place, the buffer handle knicked the driver top fender so the painter had to touch it up, I didn't include a pic but I am addressing the only flaw I know of in the paint itself.  Other than that, this was a $9,300.00 paint job and took them 6 working days to complete.

The total restoration includes in excess of 500 man hours with meticulous detail work throughout the project.  Receipts alone for the total restoration exceed $18,000.00 not including the purchase of the Straight Factory Black on Black Mustang Coupe.  My buddy I purchased the mustang from installed a three speed in 1976 which I quickly pulled, then purchased a factory Top Loader along with a factory Hurst shifter and upgraded to a four-speed. 
I pulled the cover off, all gears are perfect and in tact, Tranny shifts perfectly, tight, smooth. The shifter nob is a vintage nob with the correct shift pattern engraved on the top.  The engine had a two barrel intake which I also removed, purchased an original 4v intake and installed along with the 4-Barrel 650cfm Edlebrock.  I had the air cleaner powder coated and I do have the snorkel as well, just not installed but will go with the sale.

We test drove the Mustang and it runs purrrrr-fect, very strong and responsive, turns well, brakes well and overall is a blast to drive.  A/C is installed but not operating, all parts are there if you need a/c in your area.  Original radio, stations come in with tuner but buttons do not engage.  This is one excellent 1966 Mustang 4-Speed and whoever wins this auction will be very pleased.....Enjoy the pics and if you require more pics, I took over 200 shots of the entire restoration but ebay only allows 24 pics when they host the auction.  Send your email address if you'd like more pics, I have shots of the body when sanded down to bare metal, then shot in primer sealer, base coat, clear coat all the way through....

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.

Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe revealed; Buick Envista, BMW M4 CSL driven | Autoblog Podcast #790

Fri, Jul 21 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder. After some banter, including the discussion of an excellent tomato sauce recipe, they get into car reviews. Greg has been driving the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, while John has been testing the BMW M4 CSL and Buick's new Envista crossover. There's lots of interesting news this week. Chevy revealed the 2024 Traverse with new looks, a new engine and on off-road(ish) trim. Hyundai gave us a glimpse at the wild styling of the next Santa Fe. Dodge might bring back the Stealth nameplate as an SUV, and that has implications for the Durango as well. Ford, after repeatedly raising prices, has turned around and significantly discounted the F-150 Lightning across all trims. The first Tesla Cybertruck has rolled off the line as a pre-production prototype. Finally, we reach in to the mailbag and help a listener decide what to do with cars for himself and his kids in this week's Spend My Money segment.
