1965 Ford Mustang A Code Engine No Reserve on 2040-cars
Madison, Wisconsin, United States
1965 RED Ford Mustang Convertible, 289 V8 Engine Code A, 4 Speed Top Loader, 4 Piston Caliper brakes, and Power
top.
Not only does this Mustang have a V8 289, It is a "A CODE" Engine. Which had 50 more horsepower than the regular 289. Backed with a 4 speed Manual Top loader Trans. It comes with Rally Pac Gauges. You can stop all these Ponies with 4 piston caliper brakes, Which was a
factory upgrade on this vehicle. Back in 1965 they only made 5,338 body code 76B, Which was a convertible with
Luxury Interior. To get this engine/ Trans/ Brake/ Gauge setup..
The interior is done in a beautiful RED which was the original trim code color. It was restored many years ago with
new carpet, dash pad, Front and Rear seat covers, and Door panels. Which are all in great condition, and might show
just some minor wear.
Paint work for the interior is very nice. But, shows some small flaws. The original A.M. Radio appears to work
good, along with the speakers. Speedometer gauge works good, along with the temp gauge, and tachometer. Fuel gage
seems to be intermitted, and is probably nothing more than a simple sensor. The sensor is an easy fix, and the
clock does not work. But, who needs to know the time while driving this beautiful machine..
The oil and alternator indicator lights work as they should. The 2 speed power wipers work on both speeds, along
with the cigarette lighter. The heater and controls appear to work as they should. Moving between the vents and
moving from hot to cold, and the blower seems to work on all speeds. It has good heat. There is a owners manual
located in glove box.
The power top works great up and down, The motor appears to be strong, Sounds healthy while running and the
Hydraulics do not leak. Top was replace a long time ago, with a new rear window replaced recently. The rear window
is clear to see through as you can see in the pictures. The fabric for the top seems to be in great shape! Still is
a brilliant bright white color. Frame appears to be in good shape.. I have moved the top up and down a few times
and it appears to work great, and lines up nicely to the window, and locks in place nicely.
Windows roll up and down well, and appear to be in good shape and clean. I didn't notice any cracks and are
believed to be the original glass. Both doors open and close like a dream, and the door locks work on both doors.
Lock Cylinders work with the keys as well. The trunk and hood both open and close with no issues. Including the
lock cylinder in the trunk. The trunk is equipped with a trunk mat, a spare tire, and matching cover, and matching
tool pouch. The dash shows 25,510 miles on it. it is unknown if these are the actual mileage. There is a
possibility the it has rolled over once before. There are 4 seat belts in the car to make sure you and your family
are safe on those nights to the drive in theater.
The tires have a lot of tread on them and have awesome white walls to compliment the beautiful red paint job. The
tires are old but are holding air like new. The car will look great rolling down the street, and would make anyone
proud to own it. You can drive it as is, or you can restore it to tip top shape if you'd like. But either way..
You will be the envy of the neighborhood. The rims are in good shape, and have what appear to be the original
stainless Mustang hub caps with iconic spinners. All hub caps look like they are in good condition, and are not
missing.
This stunning mustang is equipped with manual brakes and factory 4 piston calipers up front. The pads and rotors
appear to be in good working condition. But would recommend having the vehicle looked over by a professional, as
the car has been sitting in a garage for many years. The rear brakes are drum brakes, and appear to be working as
they should. The brake petal feels firm, and stopped the vehicle nicely. I have not used the parking brake. I just
put it in gear when I park. I am unsure how well it works.
The steering and suspension appear to be good. I only drove the car for a short time around a few blocks. But, the
steering was smooth. I did not notice any noise, and it felt tight. Steering appeared to work as it should, and
returned nicely after turns, which made me believe the alignment is good.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
Facelifted Ford Focus caught testing in the cold
Wed, 18 Dec 2013It's that time in the life of the Ford Focus to get a little work done - a nip-tuck here, some Botox there. Yes, Ford is testing a facelifted version of its global C-segment entry, which first hit markets in Europe and North America in May 2011.
Like the touchup on the Fiesta, expect Ford's gaping grille to make its first appearance on the Focus. Our spy photographers point out that this is likely to be a more comprehensive makeover than previous spy shots suggested, based on the additional camouflage seen here on the front and rear ends of this five-door model. New head and taillights are also likely in order, as are changes to the front and rear fascia.
The interior was also snapped and features a cleaner design with a larger central display. Other than that, it looks like some buttons have been changed, making us think most of the Focus' updates are limited to the exterior.
Feds Probe Power Steering In 938,000 Ford Midsize Cars
Mon, Oct 6 2014U.S. safety regulators are investigating complaints that the power-assisted steering can suddenly fail on three Ford midsize car models. The probe covers 938,000 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars from the 2010 through 2012 model years, as well as the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has received 508 complaints alleging that the cars lost power-assisted steering, causing increased steering effort. Four complaints say the problem caused crashes, but no injuries were reported. The agency says in documents posted Monday on its website that in many cases, a warning message appeared as the failure happened. Restarting the car corrected the problem in some cases, but the problem returned in others. The agency says it will check the scope and frequency of a problem. It could seek a recall. Ford says it's cooperating with the probe. Shares of Ford Motor Co. rose 6 cents to $14.65 in morning trading Monday. Its shares are down 14 percent over the past year.
