Up for consideration is a very nice restored 1965 Ford Mustang. Factory C code V8 that originally came with a 3 speed transmission. (Now has a really nice T-5 Tremec 5 speed) Tons spent on new parts and labor to get this beauty to the condition it is in. You could not build one for the price of this car for sure!


I have recently acquired this beautiful car and I am not a Mustang expert, but I will do my best to get you the best pictures along with a detailed list of new items used during the restoration of this Mustang.  I will let all the pictures and as well as the obvious hard work put into this car speak for itself. Please ask if you have any questions at all.  If you are interested in the car I highly recommend contacting me and I would be happy to tell you what I know and answer your questions. Please make sure you read my terms and conditions and this will be a great experience for both of us. 

This is a very nice car that is done and ready to enjoy and drive. If you want to take it to another level I am sure that you can find things to do to it. That being said, I am not asking 15k for it. I have a very reasonable reserve and I will sell it. I am open to a " Buy it Now" it you want it. Just contact me and we can figure it out.


Please do not bid if you do not have the cash funds to follow through.

 I am an easy person to deal with and my # is 503-729-4392

 

The car is for sale locally and I do reserve the right to end auction if it sells here. If you want the car contact me. I am very easy to work with and I will be happy to assist you in getting a Mustang.

 

  I will give you a description of the car as I see it;


SEE PHOTOS BELOW!!

 

Engine:

When you open the hood of this car the engine looks fantastic! It is very clean and detailed. It runs as good as it looks. It has many brand new parts and is in near perfect condition. It sounds great and does not seem to have any leaks at all or make any weird noise or smoke.  I am not claiming that it is rebuilt as I do not know, but it has been out and detailed like one would see from a nice rebuilder. The engine bay is very clean and tidy. (Please see all photos and ask if you would like more) New fuel tank installed!

Transmission:

This is where this Mustang has an advantage over most. This car has had the T-5 upgrade to a Rebuilt Tremec 5 speed from a 1993 GT Mustang. I took it to a transmission shop next to my work and they tell me that it was professionally done and it must have cost a significant amount to have completed. The car runs out perfect and shifts nice. The car is a factory 3 speed, you can tell by looking at the tag that came off the door.

Rear End:

The Mustang has a factory 8 inch rear end with a rebuilt unit that has 3:55 gears. The car will come with the factory original gear set.

Suspension:

This Mustang has had all the suspension upgraded using all new components. It has the “Grab a Track” spring and handling kit on the front and rear of the car along with “Grab a Track” shocks. The front steer linkage is all new also using “Grab a Track rebuild kit. This is a manual steering car. The steering wheel is new but smaller. I would change it to a bigger one.

Brakes:

The Mustang has all new brakes. In the front it has SSBC 4 piston disc brakes using all new parts. It has a new master cylinder w/ adj proportional valve all the way to new calipers and rotors. The rear drum brakes are also new. The park brake does "Not" work, not sure why it is all there an looks like new. The front brake system was an upgrade that cost $699.00

Interior:

It is hard to say what the best part of this car is, but I would have to say it could be the interior. It is the Pony Deluxe with all new parts. I do not think that anything was left to chance when they did the interior. It is Excellent!!  Everything inside this car looks new, with very little wear. The entire heater/vent system was replaced/restored and works great. All the gauges and lights seem to work. It has a nice matching console that looks cool. It has a decent stereo system with I pod hook up. (Still looks factory)

Body & Paint:

While this Mustang is very straight and looks fantastic, I would have to say that the paint job could have been a bit better. If you look you can see where there might have been a little better attention to the prep of the car. While it is a fairly recent job, there are some nicks and a few scratches on it. I would definitely say it is a very nice driver quality job, and you don’t have to be afraid of damaging an $8,000 paint job. Don’t get me wrong, this is a very straight car with nice sheet metal. I had a friend that knows Mustangs and owns a shop take a look at it and he told me that it is “a solid car that is worth the asking price all day long” After a close inspection they told me that there was only 2 signs of any previous damage. Under the driver’s seat there was some rust repair and the rear driver’s quarter had been fixed at one time. That is it.

The glass is in good original condition, the only thing I would do is put in a new windshield, it has several scratches and one rock chip. All the windows roll up well. And all the weather strip and felt is new.

 

Exhaust:

Exhaust is new and it goes out the back through a new GT lower valance panel with trumpet tips.

 

Tires and Wheels:

New Grand Am tires with American Racing Torque Thrust wheels. The rear Wheels are Brand New! The front tires are 205/60/15 and the rear tires are 235/60/15

 

Drivability:

The car runs and drives excellent! Starts every time without hesitation, runs strong and shifts great!  With the transmission and overdrive (5th gear) it runs at about 1700 rpm at 65 mph.

 

 

Overall a better than average Mustang and a very decent restoration! A lot of time and money went into this car.

Honda poised for growth, Detroit to hold steady, Car Wars study says

Fri, Jun 5 2015

The automotive industry is expected to keep booming in the US over the next several years, but the train might start running out of steam in the long term, according to 2015's Car Wars report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. The forecast focuses on changes between the 2016 and 2019 model years, and the latest trends appear similar in some cases to the past predictions. Sales are expected to keep growing and reach a peak of 20 million in 2018, according to the Detroit Free Press. The expansion is projected to come from a quick pace of vehicle launches, with an average of 48 introductions a year – 26 percent more than in 1996. Crossovers are expected to make up a third of these, maintaining their strong popularity. However, Murphy predicts a decline, as well. By 2025, total sales could fall to around 15 million units. As of May 2015, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for this year stands at 17.71 million. Like last year, Honda is predicted to be a big winner in the future thanks to products like the next-gen Civic. "Honda should be the biggest market share gainer," Murphy said when presenting the report, according to Free Press. Meanwhile, in a situation similar to Car Wars from 2012, a lack of many new vehicles is expected to cause a drop for Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. Based on this forecast, Ford, General Motors, and FCA US will all generally maintain market share for the coming years. The report does make some future product predictions, though. The next Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra might come in 2019, which is earlier than expected. Also, Lincoln could get a Mustang-based coupe for 2017, a compact sedan for 2018 and an Explorer-based model in 2019, according to the Free Press.

Rising aluminum costs cut into Ford's profit

Wed, Jan 24 2018

When Ford reports fourth-quarter results on Wednesday afternoon, it is expected to fret that rising metals costs have cut into profits, even as rivals say they have the problem under control. Aluminum prices have risen 20 percent in the last year and nearly 11 percent since Dec. 11. Steel prices have risen just over 9 percent in the last year. Ford uses more aluminum in its vehicles than its rivals. Aluminum is lighter but far more expensive than steel, closing at $2,229 per tonne on Tuesday. U.S. steel futures closed at $677 per ton (0.91 metric tonnes). Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is weighing whether to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which could push prices even higher. Ford gave a disappointing earnings estimate for 2017 and 2018 last week, saying the higher costs for steel, aluminum and other metals, as well as currency volatility, could cost the company $1.6 billion in 2018. Ford shares took a dive after the announcement. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told analysts at a conference in Detroit last week that while the company benefited from low commodity prices in 2016, rising steel prices were now the main cause of higher costs, followed by aluminum. Shanks said the automaker at times relies on foreign currencies as a "natural hedge" for some commodities but those are now going in the opposite direction, so they are not working. A Ford spokesman added that the automaker also uses a mix of contracts, hedges and indexed buying. Industry analysts point to the spike in aluminum versus steel prices as a plausible reason for Ford's problems, especially since it uses far more of the expensive metal than other major automakers. "When you look at Ford in the context of the other automakers, aluminum drives a lot of their volume and I think that is the cause" of their rising costs, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at auto consultancy LMC Automotive. Other major automakers say rising commodity costs are not much of a problem. At last week's Detroit auto show, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reiterated its earnings guidance for 2018 and held forth on a number of topics, but did not mention metals prices. General Motors Co gave a well-received profit outlook last week and did not mention the subject. "We view changes in raw material costs as something that is manageable," a GM spokesman said in an email.

Ford's Farley will challenge dealers to cut EV cost to customers by $2,000

Fri, Sep 9 2022

DETROIT — Ford Motor Co Chief Executive Jim Farley will go to Las Vegas next week to roll the dice on a strategy to convince dealers to cut as much as $2,000 from the cost of delivering an electric vehicle to a customer. Ford has told dealers that one key topic for the meetings will be a discussion of new agreements that would govern how dealers sell Ford's expanding lineup of electric vehicles. Farley told analysts in July that Ford needs to cut $2,000 a vehicle out of selling and distribution costs to be competitive with Tesla Inc and other electric vehicle startups that sell directly to consumers without franchised dealers. About a third of those savings could come from what Farley called a "low inventory model," where customers order a vehicle and Ford ships it to the customer, rather than stocking vehicles on dealer lots for weeks or months. "We think that's about -- worth maybe $600, $700 in our system," Farley told analysts. Tesla can also adjust prices rapidly on its website, and keep most of the gain from a price increase. Ford declined to comment other than to say “we are excited to meet next week with our North America dealers to grow and win together.” Dealers said they expect Ford to outline minimum investments for charging stations and other equipment to support electric vehicle customers. A key question will be how quickly dealers will be required to install chargers, which dealers said can cost as much as $500,000. "The manufacturers so far have let us scale into it and I think Ford will hopefully do the same thing. You just can't say, 'Listen, we're going to sell 2 million electric cars five years from now and we expect you to put in five superchargers,'" said Rhett Ricart, owner of Ricart Ford, a large dealership in Columbus, Ohio. Tesla's success at selling electric vehicles without franchised dealers is putting pressure on all established automakers to overhaul their retail networks. A shift by Ford to a Tesla-style build to order system could come with caps on the profit margins dealers can earn on a new vehicle sale, some dealers said. "I see dealer margins still being very competitive, but they are going to shift," Farley said in July. Ford intends to put more emphasis on selling products and services after the initial vehicle sale, he said. Dealers said state franchise laws could give dealers leverage to resist efforts by Ford to set fixed prices or fixed fees for delivering electric vehicles.
