1966 Ford Mustang Automatic 302~needs Restoration~runs Strong! ***see Details*** on 2040-cars
Maryville, Tennessee, United States
This is a nice car that has already had some restoration. I got it thinking I would finish it one day, but never had the time. Now I just need money, so this would be a great project for somebody who has the time and money to invest in it.
In the pictures this car looks fantastic but some of the pictures fail to show the minor damage on the body. Most of the panels have been replaced previously except the door skins. They are bubbling up with rust. I have one new replacement door skin that just needs to be put on and painted. I also had the paint matched so that the whole car wouldn't need to be repainted. (Paint included). There are a few other areas that have some damage and need repair. The driver door needed a spring so that it wouldn't open out so far. We replaced the door spring but it did cause a spot where the door opened too far and hit the door (which will be repaired when you replace the door skin). Also there's several scratches on the rear panel where someone rubbed along a fence. There are several other nicks in the paint that need to be retouched. The interior has also been replaced previously. Still looks great the carpet is fading though. The car is kept under a carport because it leaks water in around the windshield or cowl, not sure where it's coming in at. The floorboards are solid as I said before they were replaced previously also. This is an automatic 302. I believe originally it was a 6-cylinder. This was a basic car with no options originally. When it was restored it had top-of-the-line engine parts put in! The engine looks great and runs strong. I noticed the engine has a little vibration when running not sure why. It runs good though. We drove it for an entire weekend at a car show 45 minute drive to and from, and it didn't give us any trouble at all! It might need a carburetor. Sometimes it's slow to start. But once it's warmed up it's fine. It needs shocks and/or struts because if anyone sits in the backseat if you go over a bump it rubs the tires. This car has nice aluminum Torque Thrust wheels! The tires still have plenty of tread. This car doesn't have an air conditioner. But the heat works. The radio doesn't work. I don't think the mileage is correct. Needs a turn signal handle. Some of the gauges don't don't work. This car doesn't have seat belts, it never had them. I can't think of anything else to say right now, but please ask any questions you may have. I described this car to the best of my knowledge. Due to the age of this car it is being sold as-is. Please see full description and all photos before purchasing. I am not liable for any repairs. Any repairs that need to be done will be the buyers responsibility. If I failed to list something that is found wrong after purchase, I cannot be held liable. Please understand that this is an old vehicle and although it was fully restored some time ago (not sure exactly when) it needs some work. I can send more photos on request through email. Will deliver car up to 200 miles. |

Ford Mustang challenges Lamborghini in amazing drift battle
Fri, Dec 18 2015Engines scream and tires billow with smoke as Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Daigo Saito stage a drift battle through an abandoned Japanese resort that looks like a Russian village in this stunning clip. The high-performance ballet of these amazing machines sliding around makes this one of the best videos of the year. To fight this duel, Gittin straps into his 550-horsepower Ford Mustang, and Saito meets the pony car's challenge with a drift-prepped Lamborghini Murcielago. The drivers hit a curving road and show expert car control as the men slide these very different vehicles just inches from each other. Eventually, night descends, and they add some fire to the scene to give the stunts a more apocalyptic look. The production values for this short clip are phenomenal, and the editing makes the viewer feel right in the middle of the action. If you want to get behind the scenes of this impressive display of drifting, Speedhunters did a great job capturing the event in photos. Related Video:
Ford Shelby GT350R, GT successor, F-150 Raptor and more rumored for Detroit debut
Mon, Dec 1 2014According to a pair of reports from Hearst's car mags, Car and Driver and Road & Track, Ford has a whole mess of good stuff on deck for the Detroit Auto Show in January. And it all sounds awesome. First, expect to see a hotter version of the Shelby GT350 in Detroit, likely called GT350R. Think of this as the already-hot Shelby with even more track-focused bits baked in – brakes, tires, aero, etc. Everything about the GT350 sounds great, so expect this R variant to be something seriously fierce. As R&T suggests, if the GT350 is the company's new Boss 302, the R is the Laguna Seca. But that's not even close to the biggest news. Road & Track believes a proper Ford GT replacement will debut in Detroit – a road-going version of the Le Mans GTE-class car the Blue Oval is working on for 2016. We've heard about this before, but having the street-legal car debut in Detroit would be absolutely huge news. The performance story continues, though, with R&T suggesting that the next-gen Ford F-150 Raptor will bow in Detroit. Details are scarce about what, exactly, the aluminum-bodied desert stormer will hold, but we expect good things. Finally, Ford's hot hatches might make some news in the Motor City, too. Car and Driver seems to think the all-wheel-drive Focus RS will bow in The D, and that an updated version of the Fiesta ST will also show its face. Road & Track, meanwhile, believes the Focus RS showing will be saved for a European auto show – think Geneva – and our gut feeling is to agree with the R&T theory. All of these rumors point to Ford officially announcing its dedicated performance division – like Mercedes-AMG, BMW M, and so on. We've heard reports of a new, global performance brand from the company already, with the name 999 thrown out as a possibility. In any case, if these rumblings prove to be true, there's going to be a ton to drool over from Ford in January. Stay tuned.
Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.
