Get a jump on summer and get a great convertible! I recently spent around $5000 getting it ready to roll. Priced below what I have in it. Odometer reads 112,000 and I believe it to be accurate. The car has the original transmission and 390 engine that was rebuilt about ten years ago. Just shipped it up from Alabama and have a clear Minnesota title.

The heads were not rebuilt with the engine, but I just replaced them (0 miles) with a set of rebuilt 1966 R heads which provide better flow and power. The car also came stock with a 2 barrel intake and carb which I just replaced with a ford intake and edelbrock four barrel carb. The original factory a/c is installed and worked before I changed the heads, but it needs to be charged.

The top is brand new, the old one was ok but the cross bows were bad so it looked like a bubble going down the road. Unfortunately that's one unit, so a costly replacement. I saved back glass window and re used. The top is the high quality cloth type. The cylinders and hydraulic lines have been replaced and it works fantastic. Other new items include new carpet, steering gear, brake master cylinder, water pump, intake gasket, exhaust gaskets, heater hose, antifreeze, valve cover gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, exhaust pipe gaskets.

The exterior looks really nice. The paint shows little wear. There is some minor surface rust areas in the door jam areas. The bumper's do have some pitting and cracking up close, 5 foot range and would have to be re- chromed for show quality. The rest of the chrome is good. Hide away lights perform perfectly. The trunk does not have a spare tire, it does have jack, etc. The original rim/hubcaps cleaned up great. Very minor pitting, you could fill in black accents where desired.

The interior really looks good. The seats are older covered, still look good, I repaired/replaced several rips and re padded drivers sagging area. The carpet is new. It has black rubber mat covers. The original am/fm radio in dash turns on but no sound. The glass running vertically over original radio is cracked.

The best thing done to make this car look fantastic was I found a great interior guy who recovered the dash pad. Unique dash that would be nearly impossible to replace. The original was good with typical non pleasing cracks over time. All lights and signals work; dash board instruments work well and clock even works sometimes. I've replace most of the rubber molding where I could as needed.

I live in Minnesota and would like to get a 1964-1974 hardtop vehicle that I can enjoy. The convertible I have to place in storage for half the year. May be interested in even trade or trading down (your car plus cash). Email me with any offers.

2015 Ford Mustang leaked in Autoweek

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

We would have to imagine that Ford knew it couldn't keep its 2015 Mustang under wraps for too long, and with only days to go before the pony car's official unveiling, the dam seems to be cracking. SVTPerformance.com member Screamin 40th just posted some images taken of the sixth-gen Mustang prominently featured in and on the cover of the December 9 issue of Autoweek magazine.
These images show that recent renderings we saw weren't too far off. The face is just like what we saw in spy shots a few months back, but the rear of the car features some of its more striking cues. Starting with the pronounced haunches and hidden B-pillars, the rear view of the new Mustang might be its best with the ridged, three-bar taillights, a rear diffuser and the lack of a faux gas cap, which allows the galloping pony to be an even more prominent element against the black trim.
The images also reveal a small portion of the updated interior carrying over retro themes like the deep-dish steering wheel and dual-gauge instrument cluster, but it also adds some modern tech with a big infotainment displays and a clean center stack layout. No official word on powertrain or other specs, but while we can't make out most of the magazine's text, our eyes did catch mentions of an independent rear suspension and a 200-pound weight reduction.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.
