1968 ford mustang coupe base model. No air conditioning. Front wheel disc brakes. 289 motor.

Has been parked, and not started since 1987. It is a non running car. Motor does turn over.

Would love to restore the car myself. But time, money, and a little bit more work than I am capable of. So have decided to sell the car. Donating proceeds to "love without boundaries" and "Holt international".

Will try to cover everything I know about the car from the past 4 months:

Has been sitting since 1987.

Car is very original, and a very restorable project. Has original paint on car- except drivers rear quarter panel area. Can see it in picture.

Overall undercarriage very intact. All surface rust, except a seam at drivers side floor panel. Did not show up too well in pictures.

Rust on body. Pictures should give you an idea of what is there. Looks like all major body work is back part of car.

If have an area you need a better picture, let me know. What you see is what you get.

Have original keys, owners manual, and a few misc receipts, a a lot of history told to me of car from my neighbor.

Note: adding pictures shortly- iPad giving me problems...

Interior is in excellent shape, with a little cracking on side of drivers seat.

Shoulder belt straps were cut out of the car at some point. Small cut in headliner.

Fading, aging on plastic chrome trim around gauges.

Trunk lid is rusted on inner lip and needs to be replaced.

Both front and rear bumpers are damaged, and need to be replaced.

The back of car hit hard enough to damage drivers side quarter panel by taillight.

Also hit hard enough from back to push gas filler/taillight panel in about an inch. Can see when looking from side view.

All tires are bad. Do hold are for transporting.

Fuel tank probably shot. Gas looks like watered down pancake syrup.

Needs battery, and battery tray( rusted)

No spark at spark plugs when Turning motor over.

Car is for sale locally. Have right to end auction early.

Will answer any questions posted.

Or call

Ford EcoBoost V6 hits the dyno before hitting the track

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Ford Racing just unveiled the Riley Daytona Prototype that will make its racing in the United SportsCar Racing Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, and now it has released a video showing development of twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that powers the car. Using the same block and heads that can be found on a production Ford Taurus SHO, this new racecar benefits from the collaboration between Ford Racing and Ford powertrain engineers.
While we still don't know what kind of power this engine is putting out, it has definitely gotten a workout at Ford's 17G dyno. This area deep within Ford allows the automaker's racing program to work hand-in-hand with production engine programs, which can be a benefit to racing operations and production cars alike. Scroll down to hear a few people from Ford talk about the crosspollination between its racing and engine teams and watch the EcoBoost get red hot on the dyno.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Production Ford Escort heading for Beijing

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Ford's long-dormant Escort nameplate returned affixed to a sedan concept at last year's Shanghai Motor Show. While not exactly a beauty, it showed a clean, straightforward take on Ford's current styling. The Blue Oval said at the time that it wanted to create a model that was stylish "but not one that is arrogant or pretentious." Job done. A year later, it looks like the minimalist vehicle might make its production debut at the Beijing Motor Show.
Autocar claims that the streetgoing version has been confirmed to it for the upcoming show, but so far, Ford isn't saying. If unveiled, the Escort is likely to be produced locally for the Chinese market with a domestic partner. Powertrain details remain a secret, but it seems highly likely that any production model would use a small three- or four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. Sales in other major world markets like ours are unlikely, but a test car was recently spotted in Europe.
Autoblog contacted Ford for confirmation, but the automaker demurred, with a spokesperson saying only, "At the moment, we are not confirming any vehicles planned for the show." It looks like we will have to wait to know for sure.
