Available is a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. It needs to be restored, but it's all there, including the original keys. All the FB interior pieces, fold down rear seat. All the glass and stainless is good, the doors close tight, the windows roll up and down good. The dash pad is original and nice for it's age. The original AM radio is still in place. The lights, wipers and heater blower all work. The entire interior is original...tired, but original (good headliner)! The trunk lid and hood don't have any rust. There is a dent in the passenger door in the center by the door fender gap.
It's a C Code with the original 289. Everything under the hood is original except the 4bbl and aluminum intake. The Mustang runs and drives good, it's quick. The brakes pull a little to the right. The manifold on the driver's side is cracked so there is an exhaust leak. It starts right up, doesn't seem to leak or burn any oil. The transmission shifts good, even the light works on the indicator. It has a decent set of magnums. The floors and rockers are in good condition. The rear quarter are rusted, so are the rear drop offs, torque boxes and front frame rails. The bottoms of the front quarters have some rust lower by the rocker trim. They are okay for a driver, but will need to be worked or replaced if the car gets the restoration it deserves. Every body panel appears to be original. The best I can tell it's only been repainted once. Comes with new pair of front frame rails, and a new left repop quarter skin, and a bag of misc parts.
The reason I bought it is because it's a Red fastback with matching fender stamp, door tag, and title...and it's all there!!! There really isn't anything in this price range. It's the cheapest running FB on Ebay. Almost everything is restored and expen$ive, or it's a non running project, a turd, or coupe conversion. It's a running-driving vehicle you can play with and work on at the same time. I'm sorry the pictures suck, it was getting dark and a front was blowing in.
Ask questions before you bid. All questions will be answered. Sold as is with no warranty. It has a clear title. No or negative feedback bidders will be retracted. I reserve the right to end the auction early because I plan to list locally as well. Send me your number if you want to talk. Thanks. Also, I had to relist because someone hit the buy it now an hour after I listed it.

Project Ugly Horse: Part IX
Thu, 20 Jun 2013One Step at a Time
Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another.
Chuck Schwynoch had been patiently listening to my ramblings on the other end of the phone for a solid half hour. I'm not too big of a man to know when to ask for help, and at this point, I desperately needed some assistance. The truth is, working on a machine like a Fox Body Mustang is as easy as breathing thanks to the wealth of information available on the web. Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another, and odds are the sorry souls behind those builds shared the highs and lows of their torment with the internet community.
Ford Tourneo ready for duty in Connect, Courier and Custom flavors [w/videos]
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Ford was relatively quiet at the Geneva Motor Show, but it did take the opportunity to roll out its new family of Tourneo vans: the Courier, Connect, Grand Connect and Custom. As the passenger version of the Transit cargo vans, the new range of Tourneo models vary from the B-segment Courier up to the fullsize Custom. The Connect and Grand Connect are based on the redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect.
With an overall length just three inches longer than the Fiesta hatchback, the Tourneo Courier seats four to five passengers, and it offers a choice of three engines: the 1.0-liter EcoBoost or two small diesels. Like the 2014 Transit Connect was saw in Paris last year, the Tourneo Connect comes in a five-seat configuration while the Grand Connect can seat seven. Finally, the Tourneo Custom seats up to nine passengers, and it is available in two lengths up to 210 inches long putting it just six inches shorter than a standard-length E-Series van and about a foot longer than the Explorer.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
Sat, Jan 21 2023Ford's now-defunct Mercury Division first began using the Marquis name in 1967, on a sporty full-size hardtop based on the Ford LTD, then began offering the Grand Marquis beginning in the 1979 model year. These big, boxy luxury sedans were replaced by big, curvy luxury sedans (on the same platform) starting with the 1992 model year, so today's Junkyard Gem is one of the very last squared-off Grand Marquises ever built. The 1991 Grand Marquis (or "Grandma Keith," as many refer to it today) looks nearly identical to its 1979 predecessor at a glance, just as the 2011 model doesn't differ much from the 1992 model. Ford saw no reason to follow short-lived fashion trends with its simple, sturdy rear-wheel-drive sedan. Only two Grand Marquis trim levels were available for 1991: the base GS and the (somewhat) upscale LS. The former listed at $18,741 and the latter at $19,241, which comes to about $41,494 and $42,601, respectively, in inflated 2022 dollars). This interior would have seemed comfortingly familiar to a 1968 (or even 1958) Mercury owner time-traveling to 1991. This is the optional "full grain leather seating surface," which cost an extra $489 (about $1,083 today). Dig those opera lights! Air conditioning was standard equipment in the 1991 Grand Marquis and its wagon counterpart, the Colony Park. The engine is the good old pushrod 5.0-liter Windsor V8, which would be replaced by a far more modern 4.6-liter SOHC mill in the '92 Grand Marquis. This engine was rated at 180 horsepower. A four-speed automatic was the only transmission available. The early 1990s ended up being the last gasp for padded vinyl roofs being considered mainstream equipment on new Detroit cars; this one was called the "Formal Coach" roof and cost an additional 725 bucks ($1,605 now). Such roofs were still available on a few cars later in the decade, but their time had passed. Why would such a clean Grandma Keith end up in a place like this? That's easy: it got T-boned directly into the right front wheel, mangling the body and bending up the suspension. This damage might have been worth fixing when the car was five years old, but it's a write-off when it happens to a 31-year-old Ford Panther. 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Commercial - Savings Ad The granddaddy of them all, and on sale in South Texas!
