Trim: Fastback 2+2

The former owner of this 1965 2+2 fastback had intended on restoring it. He finely came to the conclusion that it will not happen. He sold the car to me with the understanding that I would be reselling it to someone who would want to restore it. The car has been outside in the elements for many years. I removed the front brake shoes and rear brake drums so the car could be rolled.

The drivers door has been change at some point and the original door tag is gone. The following is what I could find:

5: 1965

Assembly Code: "F" Dearborn, Michigan

Body Code: "09" Fastback 2+2

Engine Code: "C" 289 2v

Sequential Unit Number: 362312

Date: Estimated to be built mid December 1964

Exterior Color: Midnight or Twilight Turquoise

Interior Color: "D6" White With Black Trim

Axle: Tag is missing, but ratio seems to be 2.80-Open

Transmission: ID Tag Code "HEH-BK"-- 3 Speed

**Additional options include: A/C, Console, Styled Steel Wheels and Visibility Group.

The motor has an ID tag on the intake with a 1967 date so I believe the motor is not original. The motor is not set, but must have some rust on the top of some of the cylinders as I can turn the motor over by hand about 180 degrees. The engine is missing the a/c pump & brackets and the carburetor is frozen.

The front frame rails will need to be repaired from the shock towers forward which includes the strut rod supports. The front rails also need repair at the joint where the rail meets the floor. The top of the engine bay looks very good. The battery tray area needs a repair. The drivers shock tower has some rot through at the very bottom. The floors were poorly replace once and have rusted out again. I am sure the cowl is rotted out too. The floor under the rear seat is rusted and will need to be repaired. The rear frame rails have rusted through at the torque boxes and at the front leaf spring eyes. The trunk floors are rusted and the rear frame rails will need new rear extensions. There is rust in the door jams in the latch catch pin panel. There is also some rust through at the front base of the drip rail on the passengers side. With all of the replacement sheet metal available now it may be quicker and safer to replace entire sections of the frames and floors.

The interior needs to be completely redone, but is mostly complete. The front seats, rear seat bottom and door panels do not appear to be the originals to the car. The dash was cut for an aftermarket radio-am/fm/8 track.

The exterior will need a hood, trunk lid, fenders, doors, quarters and valances. The roof skin and taillight panel may be save-able, but they are both questionable. The glass is all intact, but the windshield will need to be replaced. The stainless trim is all intact, but has a fair amount of dings in the rear moldings.

This car looks to have been last registered in 1983 and it was not by the former owner. There is no title or registration with this car. Ebay requires me to list the type of title that accompanies this car so I listed it as salvage. Some states only require a bill of sale to register a car of this age while others require a registration or title. I will provide a bill of sale only with the sale of this car. You will be responsible for any other paper work that is needed to register this car in your state.

This car is being sold as is where is with no warranty expressed or implied. A $500.00 deposit must be received within 48 hours from end of sale or I reserve the right to sell to another bidder or re-list it. The Balance must be paid within 7 days in the form of a cashier's check or cash. Checks will have to clear my bank before the car will be released-NO EXCEPTIONS. The sale is final and is not open to negotiations after the sale. I can store the car for up to 30 days after the sale while transportation is arranged.

I have given a fair and honest description of the car, but my opinions of condition may vary from someone else's. Please look at all of the pictures carefully and ask questions if you need more information. The car can be viewed by appointment only and I will not discuss a cash sale. I will not disclose the reserve and I will NOT end the auction early for a cash offer. This keeps the auction real and open to all. Thanks Ken

Editors’ Picks October 2022 | Electric trucks and some excellent SUVs

Wed, Nov 2 2022

This month sees a bevy of totally new or totally redesigned cars gain Editors’ Pick status. Important EVs like the F-150 Lightning and GMC Hummer EV quickly jump into the list, and they do so with authority, as all our editors love these trucks. The Range Rover is always a superb experience, and this generation proves to be no different. Plus, the new generation of Kia Sportage continues to surprise and impress. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in October that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 GMC Hummer EV The Four-Wheel-Steer system lets the 2022 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup m View 17 Photos Quick take:Â The Hummer amazes as an electric supertruck with its wild acceleration, incredible off-road capability, luxuriousness and epic utility. It's far from a "green" eco-friendly vehicle, but that's not the point of this technological powerhouse. Score:Â 8.5 What it competes with: Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Raptor R, Ram 1500 TRX Pros:Â Stupid quick, tons of tech, off-road capability in spades Cons:Â Not efficient, annoying in tight spaces, price From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer Â— "I don't think I've driven a more ridiculous vehicle this year, but that's sort of the point with the Hummer. There's a great argument against this sort of EV in that it doesn't live up to being an efficient and planet-friendly vehicle, but hey, that's not the point. The Hummer EV is a supertruck and wild technological masterpiece for off-roading in the same way that a mid-engine supercar is to track performance. It's not meant to be the EV everybody drives to work and back (mostly because few can afford it), but it serves as a line in the sand of what can be done with electric off-road trucks. This pickup rules, and if you can afford one, you're going to love it." Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder Â— "This Hummer revival is a showcase of technology and capability on the part of GM, making it an absolute blast to drive and a joy to use.

Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial

Sat, 01 Feb 2014

Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.
