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.

First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne
Fri, 12 Apr 2013You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.
Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.
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.
