1967 Mustang Convertible Roadster with a Removable Fastback RoofSHOW IT, DRIVE IT, ENJOY IT…AN AWESOME MUSTANGMy name is John. Please call me at 801-680-8447 with any questionsThis is a beautifully restored example of 1967 Mustang Coupe that has been transformed into a convertible roadster with a removable Fastback roof. It runs great, drives great, looks great, and the attention it gets is extreme! No Disappointments: This Mustang is a great investment and a fun car to drive and enjoy. From the engine compartment to the trunk and everywhere in between, this is a clean car. The following will be a description of each area of the car, being as in-depth and accurate as possible. Please keep in mind that this is a classic car that is over 46 years old, and although I will describe everything as best I can, some small items may have been overlooked. BODY:As you can see from the photos, this Mustang has an absolute gorgeous body. The car was professionally painted in the green that you see now. A high-quality prep and application was professionally performed. The underside is all original sheet metal, with great frame rails, strong torque boxes and undercarriage. This is the best undercarriage that I have seen. The panels on this car show great fit and are straight. INTERIOR:
The 289 310 HP engine has been professionally rebuilt. There is 2630 miles on the rebuilt engine and 5 speed transmission. The car runs strong and fast. There are no fluid leaks, or smoke.
This Mustang starts at the flick of the key and runs strong and smooth. The car tracks straight and brakes straight, has good steering response and a nice ride. The 5-Speed transmission shifts very responsive and smooth. The engine compartment is clean, and detailed. Front drum brakes and rear drum brakes. Suspension and is firm and responsive to the touch. The car runs and drive like new. Fly in and drive home this mechanically sound automobile.
TRUNK:The trunk area is very clean, detailed, and looks great. There is not even a hint of rust. No issues here, the pictures of the car speak for themselves.
COMMON ROOF QUESTIONS:· How is the roof attached? Is the roof water-tight? The roof weighs 75 pounds when tried out. the roof comes off with 2 bolts and 2 wing nuts, and can be removed in less than 2 minutes. The top is held on by two bolts in the front and two wing nuts in the rear. (See pictures below) There is a metal header attached to the roof. On this metal header, there are two tinnerman nuts (mustang fender nut clips) The two bolts go thru the mustang convertible sunvisor bracket dowel pin guide hole and thread into the tinnerman nuts, The fiberglass roof up front is built to have a gasket that sits on the windshield stainless steel trim. The back of the roof is held on by two wing nuts. For mounting the back of the roof, two coupe sunvisor bracket rods are secured to the rear seat metal back frame. (Don't laugh . . . it works, its simple and inexpensive.) The sunvisor bracket rods so they could swivel out of the way when the top is in the down position. This keeps the top from tearing or catching the mounting rods. The sunvisor rods are tapped to accept a 5/16 wing nut. The sunvisor bracket is double nutted for a height adjustment of the roof. There is metal reinforcement attached to the roof where the wing nuts attach. The owner can adjust the double nut, thus adjust the roof height. I choose to have the roof sit 1/4 inch off the paint. I do not want to marr the paint. Weatherstripping can be attached to the roof where the roof sits on the convertible boot snap trim (hockey sticks). This weatherstripping will keep most of the water and wind noise out. When the new owner installed the rear glass, rain should not get into the car. However, if this car is taken to a car wash, and the pressure washer is aimed at the roof to body lines, or the window to roof lines, some water will get in, just like any old Mustang. In short, the roof can be as water tight as the new owner wants it to be, but keep in mind that the tighter the roof, the more chance for paint damage. · Where can I buy a roof? We own the mold and make the roof. The roofs price is $2,500 + $150 crate fee + shipping. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. This is for the fiberglass roof only. The back window, drip rail and window trim is not included. · Where can the other parts that are not included in this auction be purchased? Back Mustang Fastback rear glass, drip rail, rear window trim can purchased from any large Mustang Supplier such as: NPD and Mustangs Unlimited. · Can the trunk open with the roof on? The trunk can not be opened with the roof on. I have tried many modifications to make this possible. All of the modifications drastically changed the look of the convertible. OVERALL:The car of course gets lots of looks, it's really what I'd call the perfect collector car: a super desirable 1967 Mustang roadster with a removable Fastback roof. This car is mechanically sound and runs fantastic. The title is free and clear in my hand.

Ford Australia launches Falcon GT F 351, last of its line [w/video]
Sun, 15 Jun 2014It's always best to go out with a bang rather than a whimper, and Ford Performance Vehicles is doing just that in Australia with the Falcon GT F 351. It's the most powerful road car the Aussie performance brand has ever made with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 pumping out 471 horsepower (351 kilowatts) and 420 pound-feet of torque. It's joined by the FPV Pursuit Ute with the same powerplant tuned to 422 hp and 402 lb-ft. Sadly, the last F in this Falcon's name stands for Final.
The GT F 351 is a monumental way to go out, though. It harkens back to the old days of Aussie muscle Fords, and the 351kw output is meant to reference the classic Falcon GT and its 351-cubic-inch V8. In addition to the massive power, the F has the improved suspension from the R-Spec model and Brembo brake calipers.
FPV is building just 500 GT F sedans for Australia and 50 more for New Zealand, plus 120 Pursuit Utes. They feature a blacked-out hood and black stripes over the hood and sides, plus gloss black accents around the headlights, door handles and mirrors.
Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival
Sun, 14 Sep 2014To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.
