1965 Ford Mustang Convertible with factory Air Conditioning, 49,525 original miles, 3rd owner, no rust ever!
State Auto Leasing bought this car new and leased it to Superior Package Boiler and Equipment Co. on 6/7/65.
The car was sold to James B. Strup on 10/14/68 for $900.00 (see pictures for bill of sale).
The car remained with Mr. Strup for the next 47 years (1968 - 2015). Upon Mr. Strup's passing the car was sold to
me on 10/1/2015. At that time the car had 49,450 miles and was sold to me by Mr. Strup's wife (Mary Rose Strup).
9/3/64 - 6,000 mile service at 6,200 miles
4/6/66 - 12,000 service at 15,077 miles
11/30/66 - 20,000 mile service at 26,155 miles
5/16/68 - 48,000 mile service at 45,379 miles
The car was driven less than 4,000 miles between 10/14/68 and 10/1/15!
I have the original keys, build sheet, I.D. Card, owners manual, and several receipts from the past 50 years. The
car was repainted once by Mr. Strup in the original color, silver smoke gray. It was painted by Rice's Auto
Painting in West Hepstead, N.Y. in 1977 I believe. I believe but cannot be sure as the work order does not show
the date. I think it was 1977 because I do have the receipt for a new convertible top dated 9/15/77 and it is
believed Mr. Strup had the new top put on and the car repainted at he same time. When repainted neither the engine
compartment, door jams nor trunk were repainted, they still retain their original silver smoke gray paint.
The timing chain and gas tank were replaced 10/7/09. Some of the other work that was done on the car that I do not
have receipts for are: cherry bomb mufflers, power brakes, wheels as shown (I do have the steel wheels and full
hubcaps), intake manifold and carburetor. The interior is original except for the passenger door panel which I
replaced as the original was less than perfect. The original door panel is dated 3/1/65 and will be included with
the sale. At some point the radio was replaced with an after market model, I do not have the original.
Everything on the car works as it should. The air blows cold, the power top works correctly, horn works, wipers
work, all lights and directionals work.

Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response
Fri, Jan 25 2019Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story.

Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list
Tue, 09 Jul 2013The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.
Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
