1965 Mustang
Here is a nice driver quality Mustang. I'd throw some mags or Shelby rims on it to give it some attitude.
It is a 289 A code which was a 289 4 barrel. I have copies of the original title but since the inner fender and door were changed in the body restoration, Maryland MVA assigned the car a new VIN and New ID plate. Copies of the original title and other documents show it is an A code. Maryland Title and Maryland VIN plate match.
The Pony has been partially restored with a rebuilt motor, newer paint and new interior.. The car runs and drives nicely and has power steering. It Cruises right along and turns heads everywhere. I've driven the car for an hour straight on the highway and suburbia roads with no issues. The Mustang does not pull when driving or breaking.
The body-
- Very nice flat very glossy and shiney paint
- Some very minor chips you have to hunt for and a light scratch on rear which look as if it will buff out
- Drivers door window needs adjusted. It hits rear side window slightly. The door does not appear to sag.
- Floors and trunks are incredibly solid
- MInor over spray on some window trim. Should come off with green scuff pad
- Wheel wells are all solid
- Bumpers, light bezels, lights and mirrors are all new
- Much of the chrome has been replaced with new. 1 piece of rear side window trim missing. In photo
- Trunk is incredibly solid and gas tank replaced.
- Windshield has small crack in corner. Not worth replacing
Drive train-
- Motor starts right up with no smoke or leaks - It does cough periodically (not enough to be an issue but want you to know). I'd put some new plugs and plug wires and run a couple tanks of high test through it. The car has been sitting for some time. Everything should be freshen up.
- Runs very good
- Has lots of power
- Engine bay could be detailed or chromed out.
Interior -
- New Pony interior, new carpet, and headliner.
- No wire nests beneath dash
- Dash has a few ripples - not worth replacing. I'd replace the gauge bezel and glove box with the fake wood ones just to give it some accents.
- Door panels in good shape.
Over all, this is a very nice driver quality car with very minor room for improvement. This is not a show car but a decent cruise in car I'd show. The car is sold "As is Where is" and the buyer is responsible for sall shipping arrangements or drive it home. A $500 deposit is due immediately at auction end.

Some additional information - Yesterday the starter gear would spin but wouldn't throw forward to engage the fly wheel (symptomatic of a starter going bad) doing so intermintingly. So I installed a brand new starter and brand new battery this morning. Have receipts. Also - The radiator is brand new with stickers still on it.

European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
2015 Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival
Thu, Aug 13 2015Considered the big kick off of the major festivities surrounding Monterey Car Week, this year's Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival certainly didn't disappoint. For those unable to make it to the California coast, our own Drew Phillips was on hand to snap some of the beautiful vehicles on display for this gorgeous gallery. Held annually at the Monterey Jet Center, the event is always a feast for the eyes by collecting planes, a gang of exotic supercars, and some the top cars crossing the auction block over the coming days, like a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible. The Ford GT both new and old was a major attendee at this year's party. Among them, the Petersen Museum brought along an original racecar and a GT40 MKIII to promote an upcoming exhibit. The classics were complimented by the latest version that has continued to keep tongues wagging. The GT wasn't the only classic with a modern update there. Singer used the posh event for the North American debut of its stunning restoration of the Porsche 911 Targa. Shelby American was also at the revival for the public unveiling of the 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe. On the more modern front, Honda was in attendance with the future NSX and one of the McLaren F1 cars that the company's engine powers. For further proof of the ritzy folks that attend this soiree, Pagani and Koenigsegg both had stands to show off their extremely quick wares.
Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown
Fri, 10 Jan 2014You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."
