Original "C" Code (2) Barrel V-8.   1965 Ford Mustang Fastback.  Project car needs Interior, Mechanical i.e. Brakes, Shocks, Drive Train and Motor inspected rebuilt as needed.  The car was purchased in Oklahoma and from all I know and was told it was always a Oklahoma Car. As far as I know and from its apparent solid condition I do not believe it has ever been exposed to salt. It has been stored since 1987 in dry storage, and came out of a garage of the previous owner who had been planning on restoring it for several years, he may have done work on it.   The motor turned by hand last time I tried it approx. (1) year ago.  The car rolls easily.  Note: I purchased and never proceeded to Refurbish/Rebuild as planned. Has some version of 4 speed top loader and some type of 9 inch rear end. I do not know any specifics of the Transmission or Rear End applications.  The car is as I purchased it in the mid 1980's.  It does appear that the drivers side floor pan was replaced/repaired previous to my ownership. Otherwise the body is very solid from all points that I could see. Please review all pictures carefully and ask any questions you have about the car/pictures etc.  As seen in the pictures the floor pan repair probably needs some repair, and it had appears it had traction bars etc at some point.  It has a Lakewood Scatter Shield Bell Housing installed. Like with all projects there could be hidden issues that I am not aware of,  i.e. I never stripped paint etc so I do not know what is under the paint etc.    

Note: 10/14/13  A knowledgeable gentleman looked at car. he said that  both rear quarters have been replaced. probably not from the rear of the door back.  He pointed out welds and a couple seam cracks/missed weld? small short vertical holes in the driver side.  I agree that it appears they were replaced at some point.  I do not know who how when etc.  Thanks for looking. 

In summation, Solid project Car, Stored at least (26) years in dry storage.  Needs total Restoration. Has Interior seats and fold down parts. Also has the original vents and many small parts in the Trunk. Has Motor (no carburetor). Transmission (Not Original), Rear end (Not Original), Tires (Need Replacing). Do not Know if Gas tank is viable or not. Aftermarket bell Housing (Lakewood).    No Carpet, Headliner, or dash pad etc. 

I have a Clear Oklahoma Title.  The car was transported by trailer to Michigan when I went overseas and has been stored at that location since 1986.

It is possible that it could be delivered for small fee within a few hundred miles of central Michigan
The car is being sold as is no warranty expressed or implied.

Ken Block ain't got a care about ruining his wheels

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

During a drifting session at Irwindale Speedway in California, Ken Block made a boo-boo that would send a number of drivers immediately back to the infield. But there's an answer to "What do you do when you bash the wall while drifting and your wheel explodes?" and there's completely different answer when the question begins with the phrase, "When you're Ken Block..."
Instead of us telling you how Block handled the calamity in his Ford Fiesta competition car, you can watch it happen in the video below. You can probably also guess what it is - but it's more fun to watch.

eBay Find Of The Day: 1988 Saleen Ford Mustang General Tire 21R race car

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

Saleen may be making headlines these days for working on the Tesla Model S, but its history and bread-and-butter is all about the Ford Mustang. The rear-wheel-drive Dearborn pony cars singlehandedly put the company on the map in the '80s. Founder Steve Saleen was already a talented American racing driver when he started the venture, and like many auto industry businesses before him, Saleen went to the track to prove his vehicles' worth. Now, there's a chance to buy one of those early racers on eBay Motors.
Saleen Mustangs raced in the Sports Car Club of America Escort Endurance Championship - a series of multi-hour races meant to challenge man and machine. Ostensibly a showroom stock class, the cars had larger wheels, tuned suspensions and other upgrades that stretched the concept slightly. Saleen found major success though, taking the championship for its class in 1987 and winning the 24 Hours of Mosport consecutively from 1986 through 1988.
According to the seller, Saleen only built eight of these cars, and this one carries the #21R serial number. They all started life as new Mustangs from Ford dealers but were immediately stripped and prepped to go racing. Beyond obvious mods like a roll cage, they featured eight-inch wide wheels in front, an inch of additional track width, stiffer suspension bushings and much more.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

Fri, Mar 24 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.  Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.
