Engine:289
Drive Type: Rear
Make: Ford
Mileage: 100,000
Model: Mustang
Trim: Fastback
Power Options: Power steering
1968 Mustang is a C code 289 2V, C4 Auto on the floor, 8 inch Rear End. It has a great color combination with a Maroon exterior and a red interior.
This Fastback however is very rusty and will need everything from Front Frame Rails, Torque Boxes, Floor Pans, Inner and Outer Rockers, Rear Frame Rails, Trunk Floor, Rear Wheel Wells, Tail Light Panel, Hood, Fenders, Doors, Quarters and Deck Lid.
The car comes with most of the parts to make a complete motor "I cant be sure but I believe that the block is original to the car" The Block, Crank, Heads and 2V intake have a heavy coat of surface rust and will need machined to be usable.
It will also come with what I believe to be the original C4 Trans. and Drive Shaft.
For you Car Guys, You probably already know that every part for the 68 Mustang is available through Dynacorn and other Mustang parts providers. Although, they all have to be tweaked to fit the car, most of today's aftermarket parts are fitting better than ever before witch makes the 68 Mustang a very restorable car!
I have a few parts that are not on the car that will go with it, such as the Gas Tank, Jack and lug wrench/handle, front turn Signal assembely's and a few other odds and ends.
The car comes with a clear title.
This auction will end approximately at 9:30pm Central time on 2/25 so dont miss out on the last couple of minutes of this auction.
Thanks!
You are welcome to call me with any questions about the car, Shawn @ 217-523-two one five seven.
THE WINNING BIDDER IS TO PAY FOR AND PICK UP THE CAR WITHIN ONE WEEK OF AUCTIONS END! ALTHOUGH I DO HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE CASH TO AVOID THE PAYPAL FEES. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, THE FINAL AUCTION PRICE IS THE PRICE OF THE CAR AND (NON NEGOTIABLE) IN PERSON!!!

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
The big dune jump and the damage done
Mon, 20 May 2013The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
