Up for auction is my 1966 Ford Mustang project car. The vehicle is an original 289 car. I brought it home and began deconstruction on it to see what kind of hidden damage it had.


The driver side quarter panel has been braised in with an original Ford part at some point. Much better than the replacement 

The floor pans, passenger side quarter, radiator support, battery apron, and tail light panel have been replaced. The only spot that I know of that would require any further welding is about the size of a business card on the passenger side roof rail, as can be seen in the pics. Car has a new steel hood to bolt on once its painted. The fenders look good. The passenger side had some slight bondo repair on it. I would honestly just reskim it and use them as opposed to buying the aftermarket parts.

The car has a completely reworked suspension and steering linkage. I put Gas a just shocks all the way around, 1" lowering springs on the front, new leaf springs in the back and everything has prothane bushings on it. I sprayed a truck bedliner on the inner fenders and was planning on doing so on the interior floor pans as well, just the weather has not been right for awhile.

I still have all of the glass from the vehicle, but the windshield does have a crack in it and should be replaced.

Here is a list pf parts and prices that have been bought for the car so far:

I did not mention, the frame rails are solid. I smacked them with a small hammer when I bought the car all around to make sure they were not rusted out. VERY solid car guys, contact me with any questions, offers, etc

MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.

Want to buy a brand-new 1964 Ford Mustang? [w/video]

Even in its current iteration, the Ford Mustang is not without its share of heritage design cues. But if it's a more classic look of the first-gen pony car you're after, combined with modern levels of equipment, Revology just might have the answer. The Orlando-based company makes what you might call "continuation" Mustangs, using replica steel bodies made by Dynacorn and licensed by Ford to give it that classic look, but with modern technology. Under the skin you'll find a 5.0-liter fuel-injected V8 with 265 horsepower and either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, but the powertrain is just the start. It's also got a MacPherson strut suspension, disc brakes, power steering and a cabin equipped with such modern accoutrements as power door locks and seats, keyless entry, intermittent wipers, even Bluetooth connectivity. And it's all covered by a one-year, unlimited-milage warranty, plus five-year corrosion protection and three-year powertrain warranty. Of course none of that comes cheap, as a turnkey Revology Mustang will set you back at least $119,500, in the buyer's choice of fastback or convertible body-styles. The first example was unveiled at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance this past weekend, with the first customer examples set for delivery next year. This content is hosted by a third party.
