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.

If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.

Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.

What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
