1967 Mustang Fastback with a 385 Series 460 Big block mated to a C6 automatic 3-speed transmission and a 8-inch rear end. Non-matching numbers. No power brakes or steering. The body is very solid with very little rust. Raven Black is not the original color as in some areas Lime Green or Dark Green (Bullitt) is visible. I have owned this car for almost seventeen years and it has been a pleasure to drive. It always attracts attention with "Nice Ride!" comments, and gets plenty of thumbs up when out and about. It's a beautiful example of the best (in my opinion) Mustang years '67/'68, which were three inches wider than 64-66 to accommodate larger engines, yet smaller than 69/70, so they still feel like a pony/sports car, not a large land cruiser. And like the '68, has the true Fastback--all the way down the trunk---a beautiful line seen in profile shots.

My son and I started restoration and upgrading some years back and as life changes quickly, we left it unfinished. I have driven it in the summers for a few months, and have done some occasional upgrades such as having the Holley carb rebuilt, adding a high torque-starter with heat shielding and a Petronix ignition. The interior is stripped down to the metal, because we wanted to check for rust and add rust inhibitor from Eastwood. We also replaced the floor pans which were the only really rusty areas. Water used to come in the vent, run down the cowls and drip onto the floors on these models--hence the clear vent/cowl seal you can see in the photos just in front of the windshield. I replaced the cowls years ago, and kept the vent sealed to prevent further dripping, which is not a problem since I do not have the heater connected and drove only in fair weather anyway. So interior is bare and dash gages are disconnected, wiring harness is in place with the battery in the trunk. We didn't install the 4 point roll bar so it is in the New Parts list.

 

As far as issues, with cars this old there are always a few:

There are  three small mounting holes in the trunk lid where the Cougar spoiler was mounted. I removed it last year because it detracted from the Fastback smooth line. As it could use some body work or new paint, this is not a big issue.


Some electrical work needed. Headlamps not working, but Fog Lamps are. I have used lighting harness in used parts.

 

It has always had a drip at the rear seal of the trans, which (the seal) I have had replaced, but it still drips---probably because it's just not driven enough and it dries out.

 

The rear end housing had a hairline crack in it, which I had welded, but it still drips slowly. I'd just replace it as an engine this size needs a 9-inch rear end anyway! 

 

The engine runs well but bogs just a bit at low RPM during take off--probably because I haven't changed the spark plugs for a long time (it's a challenge the way this monster is shoe-horned it), but once past that she will bury the needle on the speedometer and go well beyond the 120 mark mph--easily--which is quite amazing considering it's a three-speed trans. The 460 has incredible torque, activate the line-lock(roll control) button on the Hurst ratchet shifter, hit the accelerator and she will vaporize the rear tires in a cloud of smoke. I never had the rear end ratio checked so I can't say what it is--somewhere in mid-range I think-- as she both accelerates well and has a good high end, as stated.

That's pretty much it with issues.

 

Some miscellaneous comments:

 

The Weld racing wheels need a good polish but are in good condition. The Radial T/A's are in very good condition with maybe 4,000 miles on them.

I was told the Cobra air cleaner is vintage and rare.

It has a Accel SuperCoil, GT style Fog lamps, '69 Cobra Jet hood scoop and shock tower brace and Monte Carlo bar.

 

New Part include: 

                          4-Point roll bar

                          3 inch Simpson Platinum racing belts.

                          Certified Racing fuel cell.

                          Power window and switch kit.

                          Matching Black Vinyl Pro Car front seats.

                          Hardware and track adapters for new seats.

                          Deluxe Black Interior Carpet.

                          Acoustic/heat Matting.

                          Trunk lining/matt.

                          Xenon headlamps.

                          Kick panels.

 

Used Parts include:

                          All seats, front and back.

                          Deluxe interior panels w/brushed Aluminum finish.

                          Extra Rear Window Glass.

                          Extra set Driver/Passenger windows.

                          Various miscellaneous parts (bolts, screws, etc.)

                          Dash panels.

 

Note: Used parts are in fair to good condition but will need some TLC to bring them back to top condition.

 

Also: The Vehicle and all parts are being sold AS IS. I am more than willing to answer any questions you might have. Feel free to contact me with questions or concerns. I will do my best to answer them in a timely fashion either via phone or email. I have more photos if needed or can take specific ones on request.

2015 Ford F-150 gets Power Wheels treatment [w/video]

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

With the introduction of its forthcoming 2015 F-150, Ford is breaking with convention by shifting from steel-intensive construction to aluminum. But what if it weren't made of metal altogether? What if it were made of plastic instead, and packed an electric motor instead of an internal-combustion engine?
Feast your eyes, boys and girls, on the new Power Wheels F-150. Built by Fisher-Price and licensed by Ford, the third-generation ride-on toy started development nine months before the full-size version debuted at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, and is hitting sidewalks and driveways across the country this September.
The Power Wheels F-150 carries a sticker price of $349.99, and there's a special version at Toys R Us with LED headlamps (just like the real F-150) for an extra $10.

Find out if the Ford Fiesta ST can match Europe's latest hot hatches

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

The V8 grunt of the Mustang has defined Ford performance cars in the US for the last 50 years, but in Europe, the Blue Oval has nearly as a long history of building some of the best hot hatches on the market with the Fiesta, Escort and later the Focus. The latest Fiesta ST has just hit the roads on both sides of the pond and has been enthusiastically received thanks to its combination of a peppy, turbocharged engine and hatchback utility.
However, Europe is getting a bumper crop of hot hatches at the moment, including the forthcoming, third-generation Mini Cooper S. Should Ford have waited to launch the ST until it knew how the competition performed? That's the answer that Xcar is after in its latest video, and it took the Fiesta to the track and some very misty, Welsh roads to find out. Scroll down to find out whether the ST stacks up.
