289 HIPO
4 Speed
VIN Matching Engine and Trans
Cobra 2x4 Intake
Will turn 7500 RPM
You are looking at a super cool 1964.5 Ford Mustang K Code 289 High Performance coupe that was built by Holman
Moody in the late 1960’s. This car has been garage kept its entire life and is solid as a rock top and bottom.
The car is an absolute beast with a 289 HIPO that will rev to 7500 RPM thanks to the Holman Moody built engine,
Lemans Camshaft, 2x4 Cobra Intake, and a 3.89 rear gear ratio.
Holman Moody rebuilt the engine, installed a 2x4 Cobra intake, Lemans Cam, oil cooler, 3.89 gear, new gauges, oil temp sending unit, lowered the car, and other performance stooping and going items such as bigger brake booster, proportioning valve etc.
The car is wearing its factory color combination of Praire Bronze with palamino interior. The car came stock with
the rally pac 8k tach gauges from the factory.
The engine sounds great and has tons of power.
The engine block has the matching K code VIN stamp.
The 4 speed toploader also has its matching K Code VIN stamp on the bottom.
Factory 9” reared with the tapered tubes specific to the HIPO cars.
The car has been painted before and has a driver quality paint job. The underneath is very dry with no patches or
panels that have ever been replaced in the floor. Very clean undercarriage.
The trunk floor is extremely nice and original also. Frame rails front and rear are clean and dry.
The interior is very original and in great condition. Extra gauges were added by Holman Moody in the glove box door
and they are functional. Oil cooler is currently not hooked up, and the car needs a heater core as its bypassed.
The tires have flat spots from where the car isn’t driven very much so either it will need tires or driven to try
and work the flat spots out.

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford
Thu, 22 May 2014It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.
Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
