 This is a True Texas car. Has been in storage since 1997. Car was restored as a driver sometime before then. Motor had been rebuilt and new paint somewhere prior to 1997. Car still looks good and runs good. When I first got it I had to basically replace everything that took fluid. The following has been done in last year....New gas tank, new fuel pump, rebuilt carburetor, New radiator and new water pump and most hoses, power steering rack and reservoir, New power brake booster and master cylinder ,new brakes and wheel cylinders. new clutch....also has new vintage air/heat assembly brand new and never been charged yet (heat does) Its R34 so pretty easy to charge. Inside the car has new front carpet,new door panels and armrest,new dash,,,,seats,headliner are the factory original I think. They are old, showing some where but plenty good for daily driving and good shape. Instrument cluster and dash trim is yellowed and old but I have all new stuff in the boxes and go with car. Also have new roof rail rubber and maybe other stuff. Interior lights work, all gauges in dash  work like they should,rear dome lights, and even the radio (but has no antennae....no hole for one?) Outside it has a GT hood with working turn signals,new front bumper,new emblems on fenders. Paint looks really nice for nearly 20 years old...has one round paint blemish on cowl pass about size of half dollar...few chips here and there. Rear bumper original. Silver with pewter racing stripes. All turn signals,park lights and brake lights work...wipers work and horn when it wants too. Tires look new but are old and need balanced or replaced. Cragar old school mags. Car has the factory 289....it has heat plugs so has been rebuilt at some time. It runs good and dont smoke or get hot. Trans is borg warner 4 spd and shifts perfect with factory shifter. Has 2.79 hywy gears. Underneath is clean and looks good with normal wear. Body looks good and not wavy and dont think ever wrecked. Inside quarters look good and no bodywork showing anywhere. I bought to make a Shelby clone but everyone yells at me to not screw up this car because its a nice survivor. I drive around here and it fires up instantly and is a fun car.....I would drive it anywhere ( maybe tires if a long ways) Car would make a Shelby GT350 or BULLIT car real easy. This one is nice because has all pwr accessories .   CAR IS 45 YEARS OLD SO NO WARRANTY....AS IS.....CAR IS FOR SALE LOCAL AND WILL PULL AD IF SOLD ....IF RESERVE MET IT RUNS TILL SOLD ON HERE. $500 NON REFUNABLE DEPOSIT TO COVER LISTING.

 I had someone ask me the color and I guessed teal by looking under some rubber, I got a Mart Report and the color is Brittany Blue (Q code )which also explains the blue steering wheel cover. It was built Dec 7th 1967 . 4 speed and other stuff is correct. Had a guy wanted to trade in his Mustang and went to see it. I would take a nice builder in trade.....but I do not want a car wrecked or all the parts lost.....a hull is not worth $10,000 to me. I have a nice 1965 GT350 Shelby so not hard up on Mustangs. If you have a nice 65-68 FASTBACK ONLY that is complete .....I dont care about motor,trans,metal or chrome.....seats and interior must be 100% there and not busted. I might take a convertible 67/68.......I still want to build a Shelby GT 500. My phone is listed...feel free to call about car. Also car has a clear Texas blue Title.


On Feb-12-13 at 13:18:54 PST, seller added the following information:

 I have a standing offer if the car does not sell.....I have lowered the buy it now and reserve price to reflect this. Most mustangs on here are basket cases requiring thousands of work or high end cars requiring thousands more to buy. This car is a nice unmolested basically original car in a medium price range for a 1968 fastback.

Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
