1965 Ford Mustang Restomod

Car has been family owned since 1993 and was rebuilt in 2010. I built this car because it was my mothers. When passed away, I remembered how for years she always said how she wanted it restored, so in her memory I did just that. This car was a great project and has since been a hell of a ride, but my sister and I are moving and sadly it has to go. It is a daily driver and a long distance driver. I state this because during my move from Portland, OR to Taos, NM I drove this car and it did great the entire trip with no issues. It was hardly driven in Portland and for the 2 years that I've lived in Taos, I'd drive it a little bit more, but the town here is so small I never really had to and mostly rode my bike. Recently, I have moved from Taos, NM back to Wichita, KS for a short stint and drove the Mustang. It did fantastic the entire time as expected!


 

Here's all that was done to it upon rebuild:

- Everything was removed, car was stripped down to bare metal, POR-15 all along the bottom
- Installed new driver and passenger side floorboards
- Placed in a rebuilt 302 V8 which only has 4-6,000 miles on it maybe and still has the Fomoco 2 barrel carb 
- New aluminum radiator
- Installed front disc brakes from a '68 Mustang.
- Cleaned up and installed original console and air conditioner 
- Placed it new interior inside car and trunk as well as installed a new dash, door panels, carpet, front seat and back seat covers and headliner
- Installed exterior oil & temp gauges underneath air conditioner 
- New rubber lining and felts for windows
- New Mustang door plates and front kicker panels
- Installed new brake lines and gave it new American Racing aluminum wheels along with 30,000 mile Ventus HRII tires (only have 4-6,000 miles on them as well and tread is still excellent) (215 50R 16's on front and 225 50R 16's on rear)
- Installed a new gas tank
- Placed new shackles for leaf springs
- Installed green LEDs inside instrument panel and LED intermittent lights for the rear blinkers
- Painted the car with base coat/clear coat C3P0 color
- New hood (not fiberglass)
- Kept the manual steering
- Gaps for doors, hood, and trunk were meticulously placed to make sure all gaps were straight and even (you would've thought we were OCD about it)
- Installed a Custom Sound USA-230 AM/FM player with an MP3 hookup (auxillary wire sits in ashtray for easy hookup to ipod/mp3 module)
- Installed used speakers with new Eclipse speaker covers (speakers sound great and can get loud)
- New Mustang side emblems
- New chrome valve covers
- New Grant wood steering wheel
- New rear and front bumper
- New front splash shield/rock guard
- All original glass still in place except front windshield which is new

Now here's the bad:

- Minor chip in windshield above passenger side wiper (pretty deep and will need to be fixed)
- Some rock chips  on the paint from driving it, but have been covered by C3P0 touch-up paint
- Paint could probably use a good buffing
- Driver side seat cover is starting to show a gap between one of the seams where you place your back
- Center piece of Grant wood steering wheel (Mustang emblem) doesn't stay on all the time and sometimes pops off
- Rear passenger quarter window has to be slightly pulled up when closing window
- One of the bearings in the air conditioner clutch is bad (other than that, the A/C is top notch! just don't have time to fix it due to the move)
  
 
        Even with these nitches, car is mechanically sound and title is free and clear!!!

After project was finished, car got appraised at $17,500 Here's the document that was placed by Charles Carver of Pride Autoplaza:

This is a nice appearing freshly restored Mustang that can serve the dual purpose of being a show worthy car but also a car that could be practical to use as a daily driver.  Its strong features include its good history and its good planning and workmanship resulting in a very appealing and attractive finished product.  Factors that limit the cars value are its non originality.  Based on this information, I would place this 1965 Ford Mustang 2 Door Coupe is Fair Market Value at $17,500.00.

Car comes with extras along with appraisal paperwork if you want it.

Extras with the car:

- Front bumper guards and clips (never installed bumper guards cause I liked the look without them)
- Chilton manual
- Original valve covers
- Outer passenger side door & an inner door handle
- Bunches of glass fuses for the fuse box
- Blue enamel paint I used for the motor (and yes it still sprays good)

And Last But Certainly Not Least:

There is a reserve price for this item. However if the reserve isn't met at the end of the ad, I will personally e-mail the last/highest bidder if it's close to the reserve and work with you on the price so that we can find a happy median. Now since I am doing this, I will not inform you what the reserve price is so don't bother asking. If you have any other questions though, please don't hesitate to ask. And if you're serious about the ad, please keep checking the description every so often. 

***This item is listed locally and do have the right to end the sale before the end of the auction date if purchased***

Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

2020 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator reportedly facing numerous QC issues

Mon, Sep 16 2019

A lengthy report in the Detroit Free Press delves into a range of quality control issues confronting the 2020 Ford Explorer and its luxury platform sibling, the 2020 Lincoln Aviator. Freep says it's been following the issue for two months, tapping various unnamed sources for information on the automaker's unorthodox route to resolution. Seems the problem is Explorers and Aviators leaving the production line at the Chicago Assembly Plant with flaws in areas like the chassis, transmission and suspension, said vehicles trucked to Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant (FRAP) outside of Detroit for repair. The estimates range from 10,000 to 18,000 vehicles affected, numbers so high that Ford has sought help from Roush Engineering in nearby Allen Park, and brought workers and managers from other plants in the Midwest to FRAP to get vehicles repaired and shipped to dealers. Ford hasn't shared the nature of the problems with anyone outside the company, including dealers and customers. Freep's sources are said to include workers who have provided photos of certain vehicles and of tents used to house parts at the FRAP repair site. The Explorer chassis allegedly has an unidentified problem that engineers are using X-rays to diagnose, and the transmission is having problems sensing when it's in park or going into park. Both the Explorer and Aviator have come off the line with HVAC units that only blow hot air. And the Aviator's height-adjustable suspension enters failure mode for unknown reasons. These come on top of quotidian mishaps common to every new vehicle, but that are meant to be sorted in pre-production, like missing emblems and trim pieces. They also come on top of a recall in early August issued for the Explorer and Aviator concerning the instrument cluster and parking brake, and another at the end of August over rear seatbacks that could collapse in a crash. An automaker spokesperson told Freep, "Making updates to preproduction models based on all-new platforms as they roll off the assembly line – is standard industry practice." Except these aren't pre-production, these are early production vehicles that paying customers and dealers are waiting for, and some of the affected vehicles have been pulled off dealer lots. Dealers say they are fine waiting for the trucks to get sorted out, and they'd rather have Ford fix the problems before the SUVs go to customers.

Ford previews updated Police Interceptor Utility for Chicago debut

Tue, Feb 3 2015

With more law enforcement agencies across the United States alone than we'd care to count (or ever encounter), selling police cars means big business for American automakers, with Ford, Chevy and Dodge competing to fill the motorpools of every police department, sheriff's office and government agency in the land. For its part, Ford offers the Taurus-based Police Interceptor sedan and the Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility, and it's preparing to unveil a revised version of the latter at the upcoming Chicago Auto Show in the same city where it's built. Dearborn hasn't given us much to go on with this teaser, showing just a darkened front shot of the vehicle in question with its emergency lighting all aglow. But it's fairly clear that the Interceptor Utility has been given many of the same updates applied recently to the Explorer on which it's based. That starts with the revised sheet metal, but considering that the Interceptor Utility exclusively packs V6 power, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four that was one of the biggest updates to the civilian Explorer isn't likely to carry over. Ford does, however, promise that the revised Police Interceptor Utility will be "even better" than the model it replaces" and pack "more high-tech features." Related Video:

Ford pranks unsuspecting blind dates with Mustang GT and stunt driver

Thu, Feb 12 2015

There's 'speed dating,' that ludicrous get-to-know-you ritual devised by The Inquisition of Mating, and then there's 'dating at ludicrous speed,' which is a better description of what Ford has done in this latest video for the 2015 Mustang GT for your Valentine's Day enjoyment. The Blue Oval used a professional stunt driver to hook six guys into going on a little car trip, but the setup is the key – she pretends she's not that good at driving, until she's really good at it. You can check it out above. Kudos to the guy who goes from "You might want to shift again" to "That's what I'm talking about!" without any question. And the ninja.
