1965 Ford Mustang Fastback

Up for auction is a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. This mustang features a rebuilt 289, 4-speed, with power steering, power brakes and A/C.

This fastback received a complete restoration 5 years ago.

The metal work is as follows: New front floor pans as well as a new cowl & firewall patch. All patch work was welded both sides, ground and filed, resulting in a very nice finish. New left and right full quarters, new left and right door shells and new left and right fenders. New wiring harness throughout the car (under-dash harness, engine harness, headlight harness and complete pigtail harness, etc.). New back-up lights, headlights, tail and side marker lights. New interior, head liner, and seats, etc.

All courtesy lights and guages work. I prefer mechanical oil and temp guages so I have aftermarket oil and temp located in the console. The electric harnesses are still in the engine bay and could easily be hooked up to respective sending units and used if preferred, as both electric oil and temp dash guages do work.

The engine (original to the car) was rebuilt, bored .30 over with all basic requirements that come with a rebuild, but not an overhaul. The original transmission (c-4) was used for a boat anchor and replaced with a Borg Warner t-10 with new linkage and shifter. The new flywheel was balanced with the engine rotating assembly at the time of the engine rebuild. The original 8" rear end (2:78-1) was re-geared with new 3.25-1 open, which is more in line with the 4-speed transmission. Drum brakes were replaced with power disc brakes from a late model mustang. Front brakes are Granada power disc with re-designed new spindels to eliminate "bump-steer" which is common on 65-66 Granada swaps. During the rebuild, I welded in Shelby over-ride bars to rear torque boxes. This was fine for road racing but the ride was too harsh so I cut them out and a couple years later and replaced them with Lakewood traction bars.

As the pics show, the car was down to bare bones with all new lines (brakes/fuel) and weather stripping added. I used the trim and stainless pieces that were in good shape and replaced the remaining pieces with aftermarket as needed. I replaced the heat and air with Classic Auto Air so all the duct and related controls/wiring was new. New radio and speakers with input and USB jacks for an Ipod. The doors shut and the windows roll up and down easily. After 2 years of driving this car, I decided to improve the cars performance, so I pulled the engine and put a Pro-Comp aluminum head and intake, and a Erson cam and lifters. (Cam is Erson E212421 / lobe separation 108 / lift .504 / duration 296). The carb is a Holly 600 CMF Double Pump / mechanical secondary-manual choke with a 66 primary and a 73 secondary. Large aluminum radiator, 180 degree thermostat (with no overheat problems in heavy traffic with the A/C going).

Overall the car is user friendly and is a beautiful vehicle for a daily-drive (as it occasionally goes to Wal-mart). Minimum scratches with no road rash to the tires or wheels. Exterior trim is nice. Car is not Barrett/Jackson caliber but is a very high-end driver.

I personally built this car (welding, paint, interior, motor work, etc.) so I can answer all questions, so please email me if you would like to know any other specifics. I'm the old guy in the pics.

On Mar-22-13 at 11:57:47 PDT, seller added the following information:

I forgot to mention, from the time of build, the exhaust is new stock replacements from the exhaust manifolds to the tailpipes.

I've also uploaded 112 build photos to my Photobucket website. Please email me for a link to my web page as EBay will not allow me to post it on this listing. Thanks.

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains

Wed, 21 May 2014

If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.
