Well Labor Day is nearly over so ....continuing the Spring Valley Mustang collection sell off, today we post a 1966 Mustang sedan which is either a parts car or a restoration about to happen; you decide.

The back story; this one was purchased by the current owner / seller about 1994 from the widow of a fellow who had started to restore the car and then died before finishing it. He had rebuilt the V-8 engine and three speed transmission and started stripping and sanding in preparation for painting when his health went south and everything stopped. When purchased it ran and drove but had not been started since, until yesterday, when I put in a hot battery and drizzled some gas down the two barrel carb and cranked er up. It will not run for long or even idle of course but it does fire and for a brief few seconds sounds sweet. The gas tank is long since evaporated and the throttle plate is frozen so there is no revving it.

The pictures speak for themselves but for the record I must say that every exterior panel that could or has collected rain or dew has rust; doors, hood, top, and places in between. See the pictures. The one redeeming thing? The unibody floor pan is 100% original and pretty much rust free. That is to say there are no holes through the floor. There is some minor surface rust but it will clean up easily. The dash is factory original as well with no cutting or drilling trying to make a modern radio fit. The stock AM radio is in place. The shifter and gauges and steering wheel appear to be original as well. The two brackets from the fire wall to the shock towers are missing and look to be recently removed, another reason the sellers are motivated to move these cars and parts out; mysterious disappearances! Though not seen in any of the photos the factory air cleaner is here and comes with the car.

The seats have exploded at the seams and are sun scorched. The chrome is weather pitted. The front bumper is missing, another mysterious disappearance!

All four tires are garbage, only two will hold air, so winner will have to bring some wheels and tires to load it. Or I will assist or load with forklift.

So, is it worth saving and restoring? Or is it a parts car? Buyers Choice!! If you have the time and the skills it absolutely can be saved as the bottom is honest, firm, and square. If all you need is the drive train, bid accordingly. It goes to a new home at the end of the sale. Personal inspection is recommended, no, urged, and I am available most any day, by appointment. Otherwise please ask questions before you bid. The sale is absolute and as - is with no refunds, period. We are here to sell it not send it out "on approval". We can and will hold it for free, once paid for, for thirty days freee while transportation is being arranged otherwise it's $25 per day after that.

Clear California title in Non-Op status so no fees are due. The beginning bid is what we have been offered locally by a family "friend" / fellow collector, who hasn't bought any of those posted yet! And, as before, we are using eBay to offer it to the eBay universe in order to maximize the return for the seller and, despite the inevitable emails, and despite saying so here someone will ask anyway, I absolutely will not end it early. 

For those of you following these sales the past few weeks the next car up will be a rusty 66 Ranchero (V-8 automatic) followed by another 66 Mustang sedan (6 cyl ) with interesting flared front fenders (another great story) and all of the remaining loose parts - bits-  and pieces. So check back in a few days!

2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.

Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio

Thu, 27 Feb 2014


A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.

Ford's cars being held up in Chinese ports in trade tensions with U.S.

Wed, May 9 2018

BEIJING — Ford Motor Co's imported vehicles are being held up at Chinese ports, three people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters, underscoring how U.S. goods are facing increased customs scrutiny in China amid a tense trade standoff. The three people said Ford and Lincoln vehicles were facing unusual delays at customs, with officials asking for extra technical checks. Two of the people said U.S.-made models of some German carmakers, mainly SUVs, being brought into China, were also affected. Ford was being asked to do extra checks on emission components, said a China-based Ford executive familiar with the matter, asking not be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. China's customs agency did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The holdups add to a growing list of American products facing issues at China's borders, as officials try to avert a full-blown trade war. Some trade experts said they believe Beijing is sending a defiant warning to Washington in response to sweeping U.S. trade demands made on China last week. Reuters reported Tuesday that China had ramped up inspections of pork shipped from the United States, after the country's customs agency said it would step up quarantine checks on American apples and logs. The second person, a China-based industry official with knowledge of the matter, said the delays for Ford — as well as some U.S.-made cars from BMW and Mercedes-Benz — had been going on for the last two weeks. "Customs pretends there are technical non-conformities of some nature that won't allow them to clear these U.S.-made cars through customs, but the U.S.-China trade frictions must be the background to this," he said. "Although no one will officially admit it." Responding to a request for comment from Reuters, a BMW spokesman said that "U.S.-made BMW cars have not been delayed at the ports as of last week and before." A Daimler spokeswoman said it was "monitoring the situation closely" regarding ongoing trade talks between China and the United States, but that she could not speculate further on other matters. The third person said the Ford issue, which had been noted by the United States government, and other holdups facing American goods, were clearly related to the trade dispute. A Ford spokeswoman in Shanghai when asked about the matter said: "We are closely monitoring our situation at the port." She declined to comment further.
