I bought this car 3 years ago. For the past 33 years this has been only a show car, winning a room full of trophies. Always garaged. Used only in shows and parades. No dents or dings. No rust or other corrosion. Runs, drives and shows impressively. The yellow paint is probably enamel and does not have the same high luster as today's urethanes and epoxies. It could be improved with a clearcoat or by repainting. The chrome and stainless steel trim, bumpers and interior parts are excellent. The convertible top has a plastic weld seam repair 1 inch long. It is nearly invisible. The interior is excellent. Everything works as it should including locks, switches, instruments, lights and accessories. When I got the car, I had it thoroughly inspected for mechanicals and hidden damage. The front ball joints and steering bushings showed some wear and I had them replaced. Front end was then aligned and certified. At that time I replaced the stock steel wheels and hubcaps with Thunderbird wire wheels and radial tires by Coker. The Coker wire wheels accommodate tubeless tires and these are tubeless. Greatly improved ride and handling. Complete brake job with new wheel cylinder kits, brake shoes, turned drums. 250 miles on the new tires.

Engine is 352 ci, originally with a 2 barrel carb. It got poor mileage and I replaced it with a Road Demon, progressive 4 barrel. Much improved performance and mileage. In order to retain the stock appearance of the engine, the 4 barrel intake manifold is a Ford cast iron part (really hard to find). With the stock air cleaner on, you can't tell that the carb was changed. Dual exhaust includes Cherry Bomb glasspack mufflers that sound strong without being annoying.

Transmission: Ford Cruise-O-Matic. Power steering. Non-power brakes. I kept the original steel wheels with mounted tires and hubcaps. They go with the car if you want them. Original keys. Original owner's manual, spare tire, jack, lug wrench.

It is difficult for a buyer to get complete answers to questions by emal through a third party. I welcome your questions directly to me by phone or email or through E-Bay. Brian: 505-573-7024, malpais25@msn.com. If you have a general interest question, post it on E-Bay.

This car is a rare and unusual find. It turns heads wherever it goes. Bet you can't find another one in this excellent condition.

Payment: $500 down through Paypal and balance by bank ACH.

Delivery: You pick it up (Albuquerque area) or you arrange shipping and I will assist in any way I can.

2016 Ford Mustang GT bringing back hood turn signals

Sat, May 9 2015

The 2016 Ford Mustang is being teased again, this time with a short video. And what you're looking at here is a nod back to Mustangs of the 1960s. Ford is bringing back a hood with turn signals in the vents. In 1967, Ford offered an optional hood on the Mustang with two heat extraction vents that faced the windscreen. Inside those vents were amber turn signals, so, you know, drivers could see their own blinkers blinking. A novelty feature, sure, but a nice historical cue that Ford is bringing back for its updated 2016 'Stang. We also know that Ford will offer a California Special pack on the 2016 Mustang GT. Beyond that, we don't expect too many more changes, seeing as how the Mustang was just completely redesigned for 2015. Stay tuned for the full details on Monday, May 11. Related Video:

Ford Mustang Mach-E fails Sweden's moose test

Wed, Sep 29 2021

The infamous moose test has claimed another casualty. This time it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Long Range, which was tested in an electric four-way alongside the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Skoda Enyaq iV (an electric utility vehicle closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 that is sold in the United States). According to the Swedish testers at Teknikens Varld, Ford's electric car not only failed to hit the speed necessary for a passing grade, it didn't perform well at slower speeds, either. To pass the outlet's moose test, a car has to complete a rapid left-right-straight S-shaped pattern marked by cones at a speed of at least 72 km/h (44.7 miles per hour). The test is designed to mimic the type of avoidance maneuver a driver would have to take in order to avoid hitting something that wandered into the road, which in Sweden may be a moose but could just as easily be a deer or some other member of the animal kingdom elsewhere in the world, or possibly a child or car backing into the motorway. Not only is the maneuver very aggressive, it's also performed with weights belted into each seat and more weight added to the cargo area to hit the vehicle's maximum allowable carrying capacity. The Mustang Mach-E only managed to complete the moose test at 68 km/h (42.3 mph), well below the passing-grade threshold. Even at much lower speeds, Teknikens Varld says the Mach-E (which boasts the highest carrying capacity and was therefore loaded with more weight than the rest of the vehicles tested in this quartet) is "too soft in the chassis" and suffers from "too slow steering." Proving that it is indeed possible to pass the test, the Hyundai and Skoda completed the maneuver at the 44.7-mph figure required for a passing grade and the Tesla did it at 46.6 mph, albeit with less weight in the cargo area. It's not clear whether other versions of the Mustang Mach-E would pass the test. It's also unknown if Ford will make any changes to its chassis tuning or electronic stability control software, as some other automakers have done after a poor performance from Teknikens Varld, to improve its performance in the moose test.

Here are the best-selling cars and trucks from January 2015

Fri, Feb 6 2015

Every month, Autoblog slogs through all the sales figures reported by automakers that do business in the United States, and, after a little bit of sorting, we put it into an easy-to-read chart in an attempt to make it as easy as possible to follow the ins and outs of sales and shipments. But that only covers the brands themselves, not the individual models they sell. And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. Â– and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.
