I'm listing my 66 Mustang for sale. I will give a very honest description listing the good and the bad.
I would classify this car as a very good to excellent driver quality car. It has a base 289 2bbl and C4 automatic trans. Exterior color is Springtime Yellow the interior is Parchment with black accents. Differential is the standard 8 inch open 3.00:1 ratio.
This car has the majority of it's original sheetmetal, the passenger door is not original and the drivers door has had a lower skin repair. Other than that I believe the rest of the sheetmetal and undercarriage to be all ford. The car is extremely solid. The floorpans, frame rails etc all rust free and that means no previous rust repairs. There is a small rust whole in the passenger rear wheel well. All the inner fenders are original also. The under side has not been restored and as such shows the dirt of 40 plus years. The paint is an older enamel finish that still shows well but has multiple minor nicks and scratches. There are paint adhesion problems in the door jamb hinge area and also under the hood on the lips were the fenders bolt are. Looks like improper prep in those areas. There is a crease in the left front fender behind the extension ear of the front bumper and a small ding in the passenger door. The rear valance panel is not a good paint match to the rest of the car. It is a few shades off, it was added when the duals were put on. Most all of the chrome and stainless shows very well, I have been replacing small things as I went along. The doors open and close as they should.
When I purchased the car it had black pony interior. The door tag decoded it as parchment with black accents and I have restored it as such and it presnts very nicely indeed. The car originally had a manual top, I purchased a used complete power setup from another Mustang and installed it completely using all Ford parts. The top is not new but it is in excellent shape with no exterior damage. Everything works electrically with the car.
Mechanically the car has also been gone through, new fuel tank, rebuilt carburetor (professional rebuilt) , new brakes and wheel cylinders, car uses pertronix ignition. The car has several leaks, small leaks from engine (oil) and power steering (very small) and from the automatic transmission. I intend to pull the drivetrain this winter if the vehicle does not sell to reseal the trans and freshen the engine and engine compartment as it also has never been restored /detailed and looks tired. The car has new Hankook Radials.
The car is an excellent driver. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. I took it to a local show today and rolled off at least 70 miles round trip. It is unusually smooth at speed and very easily cruises at 70/75 mph. The transmission shifts as smooth as butter, there are no unusual noises, rumbles or rattles. It is a pleasure to drive. It has factory AC, last year I did charge the system to see if it functioned and in did indeed work well, I have barely used the car this summer and have not used it since. The steering is tight, no loose suspension componets, the car tracks straight as an arrow, handles well and does not exhibit any unusual tire wear. Starts right up and does not smoke or use any oil to speak of. I recently installed factory style dual exhuast with the trumpets etc. Very quiet system, nothing offensive. Other than addressing the leaks the car needs nothing, and even the leaks are optional, the trans leaks the worst if the car sits for long periods of time unused.
I can provide other pictures as needed, you can call my cell to talk about the car. 732 599 8774, starting the bid at 100.00 and the reserve is 25,000.00 so no need to ask. I do not end end auctions early. I encourage inspections from yourself or qualified inspectors. Call me to make arrangements. My name is Dan.

Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang debuts at Lagun Seca
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Saleen used the occasion of the race-fueled Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to announce its new Heritage Collection Lineup. The event was punctuated with the debut of the collection's first member, the 2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang.
Follmer's name will likely sound familiar to fans of American racing in the 1960s and '70s. The driver competed in Formula One with the Shadow team in 1973, ran the Indianapolis 500, was the Can-Am champion in 1972 and drove stock cars in NASCAR's Winston Cup as well. The multi-disciplined driver is now one of three -the other two being Mark Donohue and Swede Savage - with the honor of upcoming, limited edition Saleen-tuned vehicles..

Lincoln MKC recalled because start button located too close to touchscreen [UPDATE]
Wed, Dec 31 2014UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker responded to our questions and let us know that the fix for the push-button start on the 2015 MKC has the switch moved to the top of the of the column of gear shift buttons instead of the bottom. Owners should be notified about both campaigns "toward the end of February." After massive campaigns from General Motors and to fix Takata airbag inflators, 2014 will undoubtedly go down as The Year Of The Recall. And with little time to spare, Ford is getting in just under the wire to adding two more to its yearly total. The larger of the campaigns is actually one of the most bizarre campaigns we've heard of all year. Lincoln is recalling 13,574 units of its 2015 MKC compact crossover in North America to move the location of the push-button ignition switch on the dashboard. According to the automaker's announcement: "Due to the switch's close proximity to other controls, occupants are inadvertently shutting off the engine while driving." The button is located near the bottom of the touchscreen, which can apparently make it possible to hit by mistake. Back when Autoblog first drove the new MKC in June, we came away very impressed, but noted: "... we're still not completely sold on the aforementioned pushbutton transmission selector ... it still seems somewhat gimmicky and it can't be operated by feel alone, as you might when shifting a traditional console-mounted lever from Park to Drive." According to Lincoln, there have been no reported accidents or injuries stemming from this button misapplication. Of the affected vehicles, there are 11,144 in the US, 2,033 in Canada and 397 in Mexico. To fix the problem, dealers are moving the button to a different location and reprogramming the powertrain control module. According to Automotive News, models built since September already have a different layout. The change was reportedly done to match the rest of the Lincoln lineup. The second recall covers 12,205 units of the 2014 Ford Escape (2015 model year pictured below) and 2015 Lincoln MKC in North America because of a problem with nickel plating on the fuel pump. The issue can cause the pump to seize, which can cause the crossovers not to start or stall while driving. The automaker is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this fault. Dealers are replacing the fuel deliver module to fix the situation. Of the affected vehicles, there are 9,038 in the US, 3,074 in Canada and 93 in Mexico.
