      There were 422416 standard Code 65A  Mustang coupes built and 0nly 55000  CodeB  Luxury coupes, as presented here, built in 1966. This Mustang also has paint              code V Emberglow which was only offered in the 1966 model year.  It also is equipped with just about all the options offered in 66.

       The options include the following:

     *Power steering
     *Power drum brakes
     *Dealer installed AC (currently not functioning)
     *Very rare rally pack (includes tachometer & and clock)
     *Full lenght center console
     * 14X6 Style steel chrome wheels

     *Interior Decore  Group, which includes Deluxe Pony seats,Special molded deluxe door panels, Wood grain steering wheel, Courtesy door lights, and pistol grip door          handles.
      
      *Visibility Group, which includes inside day night rear view mirror, outside remote mirror, and 2 speed wipers.

       The door tag also shows this car came equipped from the factory with the following:

       *Paint code V........ Emberglow paint
       *Interior trim code 64....... Emberglow & Parchment
       *Engine code C.......289 V8 2V
       *Transmission code 6........ C4 3 speed dual range automatic
       * rear axle code 6.......280:1
     
 Even though it appears as such,  the C code 289 no longer resides under the hood. The factory engine has been upgraded to a 1993 Mustang 5.0 liter HO roller                       cam engine, however the 289 timing cover, water pump, pulleys, fuel pump, oil pan, intake manifold, and carburetor were retained. The larger 5.0 harmonic                       balancer and transmission  flex plate had to be used for balance reasons. Also chrome try Y headers and Ford Duro Spark ignition with new distributor were                       installed. So you  have the best of both worlds, better performance with the looks of the 289.
 
This Mustang has a very nice straight  rust free and bondo free body with nice fitting hood, doors, and trunk lid.   Very good quality, better than factory,  paint job is about 10 years old and still retains a very nice shine which looks better in person than pictures show. There are however some minor chips that have been touched up, and also some minor bubbling at the lower front corner of both doors, which I hear is very very common for these early Mustangs. The hood has a very minor dent in the center, but no broken paint. Center of the roof also has a paint cut about 1/2" long These blemishes are shown in the photos. None are objectionable enough, or even noticeable enough to detract from the general appearance of this beautiful Mustang. I also have about a half pint of correct color touch up paint that goes with car.

All chrome and bright metal trim is very good. The back bumper is new.

Side and back glass are original and very nice. Windshield appears to have been replaced.
      
 All rubber seals and weather strip is nice and soft and much of it appears to have been replaced.    

Tires are BFG 215/70X14",  Rears are new, fronts are 80-90%. Wheels are in good shape with some wearing of the chrome. Center caps are new.

Interior is fabulous with no tears, splits, or holes. Carpeting is new. The instrument panel, gages, and dash pad and door panels are very nice. Headliner and sun visors are nice with no staining or tears.  Has aftermarket radio with cassette.  Rally pack tachometer works, but reads high. Clock not working. Gas gage has some issues that I am trying to correct and might or might not work properly at auction end. Center console is very nice with new wood grain inserts.

Floors, frame rails and undercarriage are solid with no rust. Front suspension seems nice and tight. Exhaust system  is tight with no leaks.

The transmission, all components of the power steering system, and most components of the power brake system were all rebuilt or replaced very recently. Also the alternator, water pump, and starter recently replaced. Optima Red top battery installed in 6-11

This Mustang runs and drives as good as it looks. It is tight with no rattles.  The 5.0 liter engine provides good torque for responsive takeoffs. The transmission shifts smoothly with no hesitation, and passing gear works as it should. The odometer shows 61700 miles. No idea if this is original or not.

As pictures show the AC compressor is not currently installed, but the original compressor and all brackets will be included with the car. All other under hood AC components such as condenser coil, dryer, hoses, and wiring  are still installed on the car.

I have described this vehicle as I see it, and although unintentional I might have missed something in the description, so please ask specific questions you need answered. I do truly believe it is very nice for a 47 year old car and something anyone would be proud to own and drive to local shows, however it is being offered in AS IS condition with no warranty expressed or implied. It is the buyer's responsibility to read complete description, view all pictures, ask questions, have a third party inspection, or best of all make his or her personal inspection to confirm condition, BEFORE PLACING WINNING BID, ( NOT AFTER!!!!!)  Bidders with 0 feedbck must call Bill @ 502-839-8556 before placing a bid, or bid will be canceled.

ATTENTION TO ALL BIDDERS: Do not bid if you are not very serious and or do not have funds available following close of auction. I am using this site to sell this car, not play games.

Winning bidder must make a $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE  PAY PAL deposit within 48 hrs. of auction ending. The remaining balance of purchase price must be paid within 5 days from close of auction. Acceptable forms of payment include: Certified check, Bank wire transfer, or cash. IF paying by check, check must be cleared by all banks involved in processing of check before vehicle is released. Transferable title with both buyer and seller's names entered will be provided to buyer or shipper upon taking physical possession of vehicle.

If my reserve is not met, I might be willing to work something out with high bidder, if the bid is close enough to the reserve.

2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]

Sat, 28 Jun 2014

When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."

Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.

Revisiting the 2008-09 auto bailout that saved GM and Chrysler

Fri, Sep 2 2016

The Federal Reserve stayed open late on December 31, 2008. There's almost no way you could remember that because barely anyone knew at the time. But General Motors had to pay its bills, and the Fed wired money so GM could still buy things in January. Without those funds, the nation's largest automaker wouldn't have seen much of 2009. It's one of many heart-stopping moments that illustrate just how close Detroit's Big Three came to extinction nearly a decade ago. They're chronicled in a new movie, Live Another Day, premiering in theaters September 16. Filmmakers Bill Burke and Didier Pietri interviewed nearly all of the key executives, federal officials, and union chiefs to recreate the auto industry's most perilous period. The movie begins in the aftermath of Lehman Brothers' demise amid the global financial meltdown. Things looked bleak for American carmakers, and their CEOs were laughed off Capitol Hill when they sought a Wall Street-style bailout. "It was a feeling that it was the end of the world," Pietri told Autoblog in an interview where he and Burke previewed the film. Saved by last-minute loans authorized by the Bush Administration after Congress refused to act, Detroit staggered into 2009 with a faint pulse. Live Another Day illustrates the downward spiral that played out that winter as President Obama and his task force – with little prior knowledge of the auto industry – wrestled over the fate of hundreds of thousands of jobs. GM's longtime CEO Rick Wagoner was fired in March. Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne suddenly appeared as a savior for Chrysler, with his own motives. Obama rejected restructuring plans from the automakers. Chrysler declared bankruptcy on April 30. GM followed June 1. The sequence was very public, but Pietri and Burke showcase lesser-known events that shaped the outcome. They also seek to dispel the notion that the government rescued GM and Chrysler from incompetent leaders. "We never subscribed to the theories that the management structures of the companies were a bunch of idiots who didn't know what is going on," Pietri said. At one point, Chrysler executives were negotiating with Marchionne and Fiat. Unbeknownst to them, the government was having its own talks with the Italian automaker. The filmmakers also cast light on the bankruptcy process, which was shredded to shepherd two of America's industrial icons through reorganizations.
