    We had to swap some hard to find Mustang parts and a wad of cash, but we got the deal done on this very neat old Ford.  The only problem is; unlike most of our local semi-arid vehicles, this one was out of Denver and has some normal rust.

     Unlike most people; we are protecting our 100% feedback by showing you all the bad we found, along with the good.  There is a lot of good.

     This is the 300 horse 390.  We are told they checked the numbers when they put the $2,533 in parts in the car.  At that time it got a full engine rebuild, new brakes, tires, new exhaust, and a full engine compartment detail including correct decals.

     Car starts, runs, and drives as you would expect the end result of a correct job.  Engine is quiet and very strong.  Carb functions correctly and the non-power brakes stop fine.

     This car has the correct 500 XL pieces inside and out, including buckets and console with shift.

      This is a good straight start, but will need the $3,500 interior kit, rear quarters, passenger front floor, and other misc. rust repairs, but it is 99% there and nice trim and hubcaps on a pretty darn straight body.  Windshield has a crack up through the middle and the top and boot are in fair to good condition.  It is missing the XL emblem on right front fender and we only have half of the letters for the trunk.

     We have seen much worse than this bring a lot of money because they totally misrepresented the car.  We would rather take less and have you get what you thought you were buying.

     The car is fun to drive and presents itself well as it is.  Do a total restoration or slowly bring it back to new.  Either way these are $30-45,000 units when finished.  It is rare and '63's are fine looking cars.

      Car is stored inside and there is not a great hurry in picking it up.   Insure it when you buy it.   We do not charge extra to help load. 

      If car goes over a month for pickup, it might get moved outside.

      Thanks for looking.  

      $500 down is due within 48 hours of auction end unless prior arrangements have been made.  Remainder is cashiers check or bank wire or? within 7 days.  We will work with you.  Allow cashiers checks 2 weeks to clear our bank.

     Add $100 to end of auction price to help pay for Ebay and Paypal charges.

Ford Mustang challenges Lamborghini in amazing drift battle

Fri, Dec 18 2015

Engines scream and tires billow with smoke as Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Daigo Saito stage a drift battle through an abandoned Japanese resort that looks like a Russian village in this stunning clip. The high-performance ballet of these amazing machines sliding around makes this one of the best videos of the year. To fight this duel, Gittin straps into his 550-horsepower Ford Mustang, and Saito meets the pony car's challenge with a drift-prepped Lamborghini Murcielago. The drivers hit a curving road and show expert car control as the men slide these very different vehicles just inches from each other. Eventually, night descends, and they add some fire to the scene to give the stunts a more apocalyptic look. The production values for this short clip are phenomenal, and the editing makes the viewer feel right in the middle of the action. If you want to get behind the scenes of this impressive display of drifting, Speedhunters did a great job capturing the event in photos. Related Video:

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a track-day weapon with 500 hp

Mon, 17 Nov 2014



Ford promises more than 500 horsepower and a torque peak above 400 lb-ft.
The wait is finally over. After months of spy shots, rumor and innuendo, Ford has officially pulled the wraps off its new Shelby GT350. Judging by the spec sheet and the promises being made - especially that the Shelby GT350 will be "an all-day track car that's also street legal" - the wait appears to have been worth it.
