Make: Ford
Mileage: 104,000
Model: Mustang
Trim: Fastback
What an awesome candidate for restoration. This is a nice 1966 Mustang fastback that will be an easy project for someone to finish. It is equipped from the factory with its original 289 rebuilt motor and manual transmition. Dual exhaust, drum brakes all redone last summer. Mechanically sound, this fastback is a good driver as is. It is its original color of Nightmist Blue, with all original unrestored interior in Parchment. A very attractive combo and nice and cool, unlike all the black interiors out there. The paint was redone at some point in the last decade and only has some minor flaws. But anyone that buys this car is obviously going to want to restore it. Its very very straight. No filler that I can find. The front floor has 2 spots as I have tried to capture in the pictures, they are about 3-4 inches long. The car will come with the 2 front floor sections new in the box. It also has a spot of rust in the rear passenger side floor, again about 3 inches or so.. The floors are original as you can see in the pictures and other than those areas are very solid. The frame is very solid and so is the cowl. If I were keeping the car I would just put a new floor in, just because im a perfectionist and I like the look of a new floor as opposed to sections welded in. But it could certainly just have the sections welded in for a driver fastback. The interior is all original and all complete down to the factory radio that still works! The only thing missing is the carpet, which was taken out to get better pics of the floor. It obviously will need some restoring as well but is all there. The back seat and all the assembly, trim and all is in very good shape. The door tag is present and all numbers match. Decodes just as it sits now. New magnum 500 wheels and newer tires. good chrome bumpers. Engine runs well and shows well. Some new and old parts come with car. Title is clear. Just turned 100k miles!! This is a car you can be proud of driving now while you restore. It gets a lot of attention now and will command even more when done. I am sure I am forgetting a few things so pls ask any questions you may have. I will also be selling my 1965 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE c code SHELBY clone soon, It is also a restoration in process, if you have any questions about either just ask! I am able to assist in transport at buyers cost. Thank you.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar
Thu, Feb 25 2021We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste. When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled. Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes. "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass. Related Video:
Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines
Sat, 23 Feb 2013
It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.
