Up for bids is this 1966 ford mustang coupe. This is a great project for someone wanting to build a mustang and does not want to start with just a body or one that is not running. This is a running 66 coupe that basically needs a cosmetic restoration. The drivetrain in this car is pretty hot. It has a 289 with a c-4 green dot automatic transmission. The motor is not stock. It has a cam in it. It has a good sounding exhaust system. It has a aluminum intake. It has a remanufactured 650 edelbrock 4 barrel carburator. It has headers. From what I was told it has a positive trac rear end in it. I think it has gears in the rear end to but not sure what size. This car will get it. It has a special built brace across the shock towers and some bracing and traction bars under the leaf springs. This is one of those cars when you pull up to the red light you will turn heads either sitting still or taking off because it will go. This car sat up for about 10 years before I got it. I had to get another carburator, put some different tires on it because the old ones were dry rotted beyond use. I had to put another gas tank in it and clean the whole fuel system out. As far as mechanically The motor and transmission seem to be real good. The brakes work and it stops good but I am sure the brakes would need a little fine tunning. Mechanically this car would need little work. The tires are to big so it would need smaller tires on the front before it could be driven much. They are to wide and rub the fenders when you turn it. The glass is good in the car. As for the body this is where the major work will need to be done on the car. I am including a pair of doors, a front passenger side fender, and a hood in the auction that I took pics of that would be easy to do a little work to and just swap out the body panels or the ones on it could be fixed but it is just quicker and cheaper to unbolt parts and put other ones on. The main thing that will have to be cut out and welded in is the floor pans. It will need floor pans. The frame sections are all good on it. The roof and trunk lid are good. The hood is good but when you let one sit up for a length of time the hood hinges will want to seize up and are hard to pull down unless you oil them so when someone pulled down on it they bent it a little on the drivers side. It could be fixed but I am including a extra hood anyway incase you just want to change it out. The doors are shot. The drivers door is trash. There is not fixing it. The passenger side is rusted underneath where you can't see so it could be fixed or changed out that will be up to you. The front passenger fender is the same way. It is rusted at the bottom and can be fixed or changed out. The rear quarters will need a little work but are fixable. Unless you find a car that sat in a garage or in a barn all these years you are going to have a hard time finding a rust free car. These are typical rust places for a 66 mustang. The interior is all there just needs restoring. The kit is pretty cheap to do this. I have a cd player that I will let go with it as well. I have a clear title to it. I also have a rear bumper for it. I don't think I took a pic of it. This would make a good project or a father son project. This is one of those cars you can drive and work on it a little along. I live in Jonesboro Louisiana and the car will have to be picked up here. I will require full payment be made within seven days of the end of auction. If you are a serious buyer and want to talk to me and ask questions email me or call me at 318-278-1069. The car runs and drives fine but due to the tires and brakes needing a little work I would recommend bringing a trailer. Again if you are in question about something or need more pics just let me know. Also please it cost money and time to list these auctions so be sure you are 100% sure you want it before you bid.

Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.
Ford barely edges surging Chrysler for Canadian sales crown in best year ever
Thu, Jan 8 2015The auto industry in the US showed strong results through much of 2014 with sales regularly growing year-over-year for many brands. That same trend carried over in the Great White North, as well. Canada posted its best numbers ever with 1.85 million units sold, up about 100,000 vehicles over 2013. The country nearly had a new market leader, too. The big winner among our neighbors to the north in 2014 was Ford with 291,951 vehicles sold, up 3 percent from 2013, according to Reuters. That success also handed the company the sales crown for the fifth consecutive year. In large part, the strong result came from the company's popular trucks, which represented about 80 percent of overall sales. "Ford moved into the number one position in September and didn't look back," said a note to clients by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants quoted by Reuters. However, the Blue Oval didn't exactly take an overwhelming lead for the year. The company nearly had to hand over the sales trophy to FCA after the company rallied in the latter part of the year. The Italian-American conglomerate had its best results ever to nip at the Ford's heels and move 290,004 units for 2014, a 12-percent improvement from last year. Jeep especially helped the bottom line with over 50-percent growth, according to Reuters. Only two other brands were able to break the 200,000-vehicle barrier in Canada for 2014. General Motors came in third place overall with 249,800 sales, up 6.3 percent. The combined Toyota and Lexus also barely jumped the hurdle with 200,851 units moved, a 2.8 percent improvement.
