1965 Ford Mustang Fastback
Up for auction is a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. This mustang features a rebuilt 289, 4-speed, with power steering, power brakes and A/C.
This fastback received a complete restoration 5 years ago.
The metal work is as follows: New front floor pans as well as a new cowl & firewall patch. All patch work was welded both sides, ground and filed, resulting in a very nice finish. New left and right full quarters, new left and right door shells and new left and right fenders. New wiring harness throughout the car (under-dash harness, engine harness, headlight harness and complete pigtail harness, etc.). New back-up lights, headlights, tail and side marker lights. New interior, head liner, and seats, etc.
All courtesy lights and guages work. I prefer mechanical oil and temp guages so I have aftermarket oil and temp located in the console. The electric harnesses are still in the engine bay and could easily be hooked up to respective sending units and used if preferred, as both electric oil and temp dash guages do work.
The engine (original to the car) was rebuilt, bored .30 over with all basic requirements that come with a rebuild, but not an overhaul. The original transmission (c-4) was used for a boat anchor and replaced with a Borg Warner t-10 with new linkage and shifter. The new flywheel was balanced with the engine rotating assembly at the time of the engine rebuild. The original 8" rear end (2:78-1) was re-geared with new 3.25-1 open, which is more in line with the 4-speed transmission. Drum brakes were replaced with power disc brakes from a late model mustang. Front brakes are Granada power disc with re-designed new spindels to eliminate "bump-steer" which is common on 65-66 Granada swaps. During the rebuild, I welded in Shelby over-ride bars to rear torque boxes. This was fine for road racing but the ride was too harsh so I cut them out and a couple years later and replaced them with Lakewood traction bars.
As the pics show, the car was down to bare bones with all new lines (brakes/fuel) and weather stripping added. I used the trim and stainless pieces that were in good shape and replaced the remaining pieces with aftermarket as needed. I replaced the heat and air with Classic Auto Air so all the duct and related controls/wiring was new. New radio and speakers with input and USB jacks for an Ipod. The doors shut and the windows roll up and down easily. After 2 years of driving this car, I decided to improve the cars performance, so I pulled the engine and put a Pro-Comp aluminum head and intake, and a Erson cam and lifters. (Cam is Erson E212421 / lobe separation 108 / lift .504 / duration 296). The carb is a Holly 600 CMF Double Pump / mechanical secondary-manual choke with a 66 primary and a 73 secondary. Large aluminum radiator, 180 degree thermostat (with no overheat problems in heavy traffic with the A/C going).
Overall the car is user friendly and is a beautiful vehicle for a daily-drive (as it occasionally goes to Wal-mart). Minimum scratches with no road rash to the tires or wheels. Exterior trim is nice. Car is not Barrett/Jackson caliber but is a very high-end driver.
I personally built this car (welding, paint, interior, motor work, etc.) so I can answer all questions, so please email me if you would like to know any other specifics. I'm the old guy in the pics.
On Mar-22-13 at 11:57:47 PDT, seller added the following information:
I forgot to mention, from the time of build, the exhaust is new stock replacements from the exhaust manifolds to the tailpipes.
I've also uploaded 112 build photos to my Photobucket website. Please email me for a link to my web page as EBay will not allow me to post it on this listing. Thanks.

Seinfeld's Porsches, '61 Ferrari lead the way at Gooding Amelia Island sale
Tue, Mar 1 2016If you're in the market for a sports car with celebrity provenance or just an incredibly well-preserved high-performance machine, then you'll want to check out Gooding & Company's Amelia Island auction in Florida on March 11. The highlight of the sale is likely 18 cars, mostly Porsches, from Jerry Seinfeld's collection, but there's more to see than just the comedian's sporting metal. While several of Seinfeld's cars carry auction estimates in the millions, they aren't the most valuable at the sale. That honor falls on a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, which could sell for between $15 million and $17 million. This one is among the 37 examples with covered headlights, and it has some theatrical provenance after appearing in the Sophia Loren film Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. If your tastes skew more American, then one of 31 Ford GT40 MKI road cars is also among the lots. Gooding expects the rare coupe to sell for between $3.2 million and $3.6 million. Ford originally used this GT40 for dealer promotions, but it eventually fell into private hands. Even today, its multiple owners have only covered around 3,200 miles in it. Gooding also expects a 1931 Duesenberg Model J Disappearing-Top Convertible Coupe with a body by Murphy to bring $2.5 million to $3 million. The auction house claims this might be the "most original" example left because of a history of owners who kept it for long periods – and the vehicle never needed a complete restoration. Some lots carry more attainable estimates like $35,000 for a 1962 MGA. You can check out all the listings on Gooding's online catalog and some of the highlights in the gallery above. You've probably read the news about Seinfeld's Porsches, but here's a refresher: The collection includes amazing cars like a 550 Spyder, 917/30 Can-Am Spyder, and a 718 RSK. Related Video:
Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move
Tue, Dec 6 2016With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]
Tue, 14 Jan 2014With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.
