 SHOW IT, DRIVE IT, ENJOY IT…AN AWESOME MUSTANG


My name is John.  Please call me at 801-680-8447 with any questions

 

This is a beautifully restored example of 1967 Mustang Coupe that has been transformed into a convertible roadster with a removable Fastback roof. It runs great, drives great, looks great, and the attention it gets is extreme!

No Disappointments: This Mustang is a great investment and a fun car to drive and enjoy. From the engine compartment to the trunk and everywhere in between, this is a clean car. 

The following will be a description of each area of the car, being as in-depth and accurate as possible. Please keep in mind that this is a classic car that is over 46 years old, and although I will describe everything as best I can, some small items may have been overlooked.

BODY:

As you can see from the photos, this Mustang has an absolute gorgeous body.  The car was professionally painted in the green that you see now. A high-quality prep and application was professionally performed. The underside is all original sheet metal, with great frame rails, strong torque boxes and undercarriage.   This is the best undercarriage that I have seen. The panels on this car show great fit and are straight. 

INTERIOR:

  • The interior is also professionally restored with all new soft trim including:      

  • Upholstery

  • Dash Pad

  • Door Panels

  • Headliner

  • Carpeting: 


  • ENGINE / MECHANICS:

The 289 310 HP engine has been professionally rebuilt.  There is  2630 miles on the rebuilt engine and 5 speed transmission.  The car runs strong and fast.  There are no fluid leaks, or smoke. 

  • 1" Front sway bar

  • KYB Gas-A-Just Shocks front and rear

  • Ceramic silver coated long tube headers

  • 2 1/2' Flowmaster Dual Exhaust with Pipe (sounds aggressively amazing)

  • Cable type clutch conversion

  • Optima Ret Top deep cycle battery

  • Delta HID headlights

  • Sony XPLOD stereo CD player with IPOD Hookup

  • Sony 6" front speakers and 6X9 rear speakers with 2 8" 800watt subwoofers with custom sealed enclosures

  • Sound Storm 1,000 watt amplifier with remote gain adjust

  • Center Console

  • Custom Auto Meter Sport Comp Gauges

This Mustang starts at the flick of the key and runs strong and smooth.  The car tracks straight and brakes straight, has good steering response and a nice ride. The 5-Speed transmission shifts very responsive and smooth. The engine compartment is clean, and detailed. Front drum brakes and rear drum brakes.  Suspension and is firm and responsive to the touch.  The car runs and drive like new.  Fly in and drive home this mechanically sound automobile.

 

TRUNK:

The trunk area is very clean, detailed, and looks great. There is not even a hint of rust.  No issues here, the pictures of the car speak for themselves.

 

COMMON ROOF QUESTIONS:

·     How is the roof attached?  Is the roof water-tight?



The roof weighs 75 pounds when tried out.  the roof comes off with 2 bolts and 2 wing nuts, and can be removed in less than 2 minutes.    The top is held on by two bolts in the front and two wing nuts in the rear.   (See pictures below) There is a metal header attached to the roof.  On this metal header, there are two tinnerman nuts (mustang fender nut clips)  The two bolts go thru the mustang convertible sunvisor bracket dowel pin guide hole and thread into the tinnerman nuts,  The fiberglass roof up front is built to have a gasket that sits on the windshield stainless steel trim.  The back of the roof is held on by two wing nuts.  For mounting the back of the roof, two coupe sunvisor bracket rods are secured to the rear seat metal back frame. (Don't laugh . . . it works, its simple and inexpensive.)  The sunvisor bracket rods so they could swivel out of the way when the top is in the down position.  This keeps the top from tearing or catching the mounting rods.   The sunvisor rods are tapped to accept a 5/16 wing nut.  The sunvisor bracket is double nutted for  a height adjustment of the roof.  There is metal reinforcement attached to the roof where the wing nuts attach.  The owner can adjust the double nut, thus adjust the roof height.   I choose to have the roof sit 1/4 inch off the paint.  I do not want to marr the paint.  Weatherstripping can be attached to the roof where the roof sits on the convertible boot snap trim (hockey sticks).  This weatherstripping will keep most of the water and wind  noise out.  When the new owner installed the rear glass, rain should not get into the car.  However,  if this car is taken to a car wash, and the pressure washer is aimed at the roof to body lines, or the window to roof lines, some water will get in, just like any old Mustang.   In short, the roof can be as water tight as the new owner wants it to be, but keep in mind that the tighter the roof, the more chance for paint damage. 

·     Where can I buy a roof?

 We own the mold and make the roof.  The roofs price is $2,500 + $150 crate fee + shipping.   Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.  This is for the fiberglass roof only.    The back window, drip rail and window trim is not included. 

 ·      Where can the other parts that are not included in this auction be purchased?

 Back Mustang Fastback rear glass, drip rail, rear window trim can purchased from any large Mustang Supplier such as:  NPD and Mustangs Unlimited.

·     Can the trunk open with the roof on?

 The trunk can not be opened with the roof on.  I have tried many modifications to make this possible.  All of the modifications drastically changed the look of the convertible. 

OVERALL:

The car of course gets lots of looks, it's really what I'd call the perfect collector car: a super desirable 1967 Mustang roadster with a removable Fastback roof.  This car is mechanically sound and runs fantastic.  The title is free and clear in my hand.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:

Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial

Wed, 28 May 2014

How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.

Ford rolls out Vignale Mondeo for upscale European buyers

Tue, Apr 21 2015

North American buyers looking for a luxury automobile from Dearborn know to turn to Lincoln, but overseas, the Ford brand itself appeals to upscale customers with its own products. The Blue Oval automaker unveiled a premium take on the Taurus for the Chinese market at the Shanghai Motor Show this weekend, and in Europe it's rolling out the Vignale sub-brand with the model you see here. Previewed in concept form a year and a half ago at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Vignale line revives the name of a storied Italian coachbuilder that Ford acquired (together with Ghia) back in 1973. Now ready for production, the first Vignale model upgrades on the Mondeo (which we know as the Fusion) with a number of high-end features. The cabin space is altogether more luxurious, featuring high-end, laser-cut leather trim with hexagonal quilting and "tuxedo" stitching. The multi-contour front seats have a massage function, and occupants are better isolated from the road via upgraded sound insulation and active noise cancellation. The Ford Vignale Mondeo benefits from all the latest safety-convenience and infotainment technologies, including an optional Sony digital audio system with twelve speakers. The exterior is made to look more upscale as well, with unique metallic paint finishes, special chrome trim, 18-inch alloys and the requisite special badging to set it apart from ordinary Mondeos. Buyers will be able to choose between sedan or wagon body styles, front- or all-wheel drive and from a number of engine options. There's a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four with 237 horsepower, a 2.0-liter turbodiesel available with 177 or 207 hp, and a gasoline-electric hybrid system with 184 hp. Each vehicle is hand-finished and individually inspected at the Vignale Centre at Ford's plant in Valencia, Spain, and will be offered through select dealerships outfitted with premium Vignale Lounges. Customers will also benefit from access to a dedicated "relationship manager," customer assistance operators on call 24 hours a day and a companion app, but of course none of these features come cheap: At around GBP30k in the UK, the price of a Vignale Mondeo comes close to that of an Audi A6 or Jaguar XF, and it'll be up to individual buyers to decide whether the spruced-up Fusion is worth the premium. Look for a Vignale version of the S-Max to follow.
