Engine is a 1965 Buick 401 Nailhead fitted with progressive Rochester 2gc tri power.  (Center carb line is a little twisted from a roadside repair but is not restrictive on the fuel).   Donner car had 69,000 miles on the odometer when
I purchased it. Did no internal work other than new timing chain, new gaskets 15,000 miles ago.  Still runs strong and smooth.
Stock distributer fitted with Pertronix ignition.
Finned valley cover, valve covers, and plug wire covers.
Custom made Lake style headers fitted with 4" stainless turnouts.  Headers are also fitted with real mufflers not sheet metal and holes.

Transmission is a TH400, also from the same doner car.
Driveshaft was fitted with a conversion u-joint to fit the 1967 Ford Mustang 8" rear end with stock highway gears.  (we often drive on the highway around 65 m.p.h. just fine)
Mustang steering box
Traditional buggy spring suspension with reverse eye front leaf and 4" drop I-beam axle.
Frame is a stock model a, boxed, z'd in the front 4" and stepped 16" in the rear with custom made cross member. Split bone and traditional buggy spring suspension.
ALL frame work done with T.I.G welds.
Brakes: Chrome 1965 Chevelle master cylinder, 1956 Ford pickup front drum brakes, 1967 Ford Mustang rear drum brakes.  Never had an issue with stopping.
Also has fully functional emergency brake.
Body is nicely chopped 3 1/2".  NOT channeled.  All new lower patch panels were replaced during build as well as the wood kit.
Top was fitted with the roof from the 1965 doner car.  All sheet metal and chop work was T.I.G. welded. 
Front grill shell is a 1934 Ford Commercial Truck grill fitted with custom insert with Pontiac Starchief star emblems. 
Radiator is newer 4 core with the original tanks with no leaks.
Real Guide 682-c headlights.
Tail lights are from a 1949 Hudson shaved down to fit with the rear panel.  Tail lights, brake light and headlights are functional.  Also has dash switch working interior dome light.
Steering wheel and column are from a 1975 Malibu.
Custom made stainless steel brake and gas pedal.
Custom made step drilled stainless shifter with tiki head shift knob.
Interior is not finished but has mildly worn black carpet and blanket seat cover. 
The metal seat wrap was the rear seat from a 1934 Chevrolet sedan sectioned to fit the coupe.
Seat cushion were fitted from newer van seat foam.   Moon lap belts installed and tuck nicely behind the seat cushion when not in use.
1934 International dash fitted with BEEDE 5" speedo and cluster gauge.
CD player is hidden under the dash on the passenger side in a custom hinge that latches with an old seat belt latch
to keep it neat and clean at the shows but still have some tunes.
6" mid range speakers in the cab and 8" sub in the trunk. 
Custom made 15 gallon gas tank mounted behind the seat with the filler neck in the trunk.  Tank also fitted with vent and roll over valve.
Red top battery mounted in the trunk still as dependable as it was 15k miles ago.   
Tires are newer (about 200 miles on them) Firestone 8.20 - 15 and the fronts are Firestone 5.60 - 15.  Front need to be replaced. 
Note: if auction goes over 15k for the selling price I will put brand new tires on the front before shipping the vehicle.

Here's the bad:  Took some rocks on the visor driving on the highway that cracked the paint.
Paint is older so it's not trophy winning show quality but good for a driver as it was intended.
Body has full glass with functioning door windows and the windshield slides "A/C" work great.  Windshield has very minor pitting from driving but doesn't impair view.
Note: Year of manufacturer license plate is not included in the sale. 

 Ask any and all questions prior to bidding.  Winning bidder is responsible for all shipping arrangements and fees associated.

Note:  I just went on a test drive with a local interest and the oil pressure sender stopped working.  I mechanically checked the oil pressure and it still shows about 40 psi.  So it will neede a new electronic sensor.

More 2015 Ford Mustang pricing information leaks [UPDATE]

Tue, 20 May 2014

The big news this morning was that the 2015 Ford Mustang would start at $24,425, including its destination pricing. The big news this afternoon is, well, bigger.
Mustang6G.com has come up with what it claims is pricing info for the entire Mustang line, rather than just the V6. That means we know all about the EcoBoost and GT prices now, which, when combined with the dealer order sheets we reported on last week, gives us our clearest look yet at how the Mustang can be outfitted (we're still a bit short on pricing info for some standalone options, like paint premiums and such).
The base EcoBoost starts at $25,995, while the GT rings up at $32,925.

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.

More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags

Thu, Jan 12 2017

The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.
