I am being transferred out of state and have three other Mustangs to deal with, so this one goes. This is being offered as a great parts source car (a donor for your project) or if so, make yours the donor and build on top of this one. Since I was raised to be honest, it must be stated upfront that this car has many, many new parts, there are a couple of areas that need disclosing:
1. The front end steering/suspension probably needs lower control arms, ball joints replaced. (The front end tie rods are new).
2. The engine is a 1979 351W with the electronic ignition components in use (computer module is new). However, this engine has started to display serious sounds that may even be failing main bearings on the crank shaft, along with some smoke now. This is the engine that came with the car so its history is unknown but I do feel it is on the way to necessary rebuild.
3. Windshild wipers don't work -- as switch needs replacing.
So, I make no warranties and am offering the car as a parts car. Please do not ask me to part single parts. I will only ignore such requests. This car is offered as a whole.
This car stated life in the New York area as a base Copper/Gold Grande with a 302 automatic.
Body condition: Good.
Details: Hood has one ding in it, the front quarters are from other cars. Underside is solid with usual surface rust but no holes or rot. Rear truck lid has a ding in one corner.
The following are the many new parts:
Most of the interior is new (repro in most cases). The back seat upholstry has a blemish on the lower seat.
Includes Kenwood KDC-HD450U radio inside glove box.
New front tie rods.
New tires less than 200 miles use) and new vintage wheels
New tail lights lens, and new lens for all parking lights
The entire rear end (8 inch) was swapped with a indentical better condition rear end from another 71 Mustang
New shocks all around, new rear leaf springs, new mufflers.
Front wheels have new disk brake rotors and wheel bearings.
Door handles, locks are new.
The original Ford AM/FM radio works.
New TCI C4 transmission with less than 100 miles on it. The drive shaft is new.
Tac and instrutment cluster added by previous owner.
On the engine: Recent battery, new altenator, power steering pump, belts, water pump, engine mounts, and harmonic balancer. New rebuilt autolite 2 Barrel carb., spark wires.
Again, this is being offered as a PARTS Car. The tires and wheels alone are worth the starting price.
Please do not ask me to part single parts. I will ignore all such requests.

2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).

Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here
Fri, 07 Mar 2014A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.
