I HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT TRACES THE OWNERSHIP BACK TO 1970 IN SAN ANTONIO, AND BELIEVED TO BE AN ORIGINAL SAN ANTONIO VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 1991 FROM A LADY IN SAN ANTONIO.. THE 1990 TEXAS SAFETY INSPECTION STICKER IS STILL ON THE WINDSHIELD (SEE PHOTOS). THE BODY WAS STRIPPED DOWN TO THE METAL AND RE-PAINTED WHEN IT WAS RESTORED, AND I HAVE PHOTOS SHOWING THE PROCESS.

THE CAR IS NOT PERFECT, BUT A VERY PRESENTABLE REPRESENTATION OF A 60 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN LIGHTLY USED AND WELL MAINTAINED. AS WITH MOST OLDER VEHICLES, THE CAR LEAKS A LITTLE OIL. THERE IS A SCRATCH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT APPEARS TO BE FROM A WIPER BLADE. IT WAS THERE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 1991. JUST NEVER HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED, AS I CONSIDERED MINOR. CAR IS SOLD "AS IS, WHERE IS". SHIPPING IS UP TO THE BUYER TO ARRANGE, AT BUYER'S COST. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY.

Ford builds USAF Thunderbirds Edition Mustang for charity
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Each year since 2008, Ford has created a one-off Mustang to celebrate military aviation, and the cars have been auctioned off at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles charity event to raise money to inspire the next generation of aviators. This year's charity car is the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, which also helps celebrate 60 years of Thunderbirds air show excellence.
Of all the EAA charity cars, this Thunderbirds Edition is the most in depth. Painted to match the F-16 Tomcat fighter jets used by Thunderbirds, this Mustang also gets a widebody kit and 22-inch Forgiato wheels to go with the cockpit's Recaro bucket seats, rear-seat delete and modified navigation screen and gauge cluster. Even the Mustang's projector puddle lights have been changed to show an aircraft silhouette - rather than the Mustang's galloping horse logo - when the doors are open.
Themes for previous EAA charity cars include the Blue Angels, SR-71 Blackbird and the Red Tails as well as the F-22 Raptor-inspired AV8R and AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" models. Scroll down for the press release for the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, and be sure to check out our galleries for all six aviation-themed Mustangs.
Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.
Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
