More infos regarding my car at: evelyne.toro@expressmail.dk .

I have the Elite Marti Report. I have the title.

This mustang is one of Ford's "Color of the Month" promotional cars. The original color is "Coral". (This is
documented on the Marti Report as special paint. Also there is no paint code on the door plate).

This car was originally purchased by Marck Motors in El Cajon, CA to be used as a Thrifty Automotive Group (TAG)
Rent-a-Car. (This is documented on the Marti Report original window sticker).

This car is stock with the exception of a mild transmission shift kit and "Classis Auto Air" A/C compressor.


Driven a little over 300 Miles on professionally restored / rebuilt, new mechanicals. The engine was ran on a
Dyno to break it in prior to install in the car. (I have the paperwork)

Numbers matching, engine and transmission with stamped VIN. Engine, Transmission and Rear Axle metal tags match
components. (I personally verified this).

Over $23,000 spent on restoration projects. I have the receipts and an outlined spreadsheet which show detailed
costs.

All of the mechanicals were professionally restored / rebuilt and assembled. Paperwork on request.

Here are a few items that were professionally restored / rebuilt or factory style installed new. Engine,
Original carburetor, radiator, Original distributor(with Pertronix), voltage regulator, starter solenoid, Autolite
battery, transmission, front and rear complete brakes including the master cylinder and booster, front and rear
suspension including shocks, Original driveline, rear axle bearings and seals, complete exhaust system which is
factory style dual. Complete "Classic Auto Air" Heat and A/C system minus the dash control which is original.
Classic Auto Air restored the heater A/C box. Power steering pump and alternator. Carpet, with no rust underneath.
Starter, torque converter and flywheel.

The paint is in good condition but dated. If I kept it, I would have it painted.

The glass appears original by the markings. The door felt is new and all of the window mechanisms have been
reworked/fixed. The rear window seal is new. The front windshield seal needs replaced, which I have the seal, just
needs done.

All interior, exterior and dash lights/dummy lights work.

All Gauges work.

AM Radio works.

No rust, solid body car.

It's believed that the cars mileage of 68,100 is correct. The person who appraised it (Aldridge Motorsports)
felt it was probably correct based on the condition.

Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.

NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights

Sat, Aug 15 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.

Project Ugly Horse: Part V

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
