1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Black With 429/460 Big Block And Ton Of Extras on 2040-cars
Fennville, Michigan, United States
For Sale:
My son and I started restoration and upgrading some years back and as life changes quickly, we left it unfinished. I have driven it in the summers for a few months, and have done some occasional upgrades such as having the Holley carb rebuilt, adding a high torque-starter with heat shielding and a Petronix ignition. The interior is stripped down to the metal, because we wanted to check for rust and add rust inhibitor from Eastwood. We also replaced the floor pans which were the only really rusty areas. Water used to come in the vent, run down the cowls and drip onto the floors on these models--hence the clear vent/cowl seal you can see in the photos just in front of the windshield. I replaced the cowls years ago, and kept the vent sealed to prevent further dripping, which is not a problem since I do not have the heater connected and drove only in fair weather anyway. So interior is bare and dash gages are disconnected, wiring harness is in place with the battery in the trunk. We didn't install the 4 point roll bar so it is in the New Parts list.
As far as issues, with cars this old there are always a few: There are three small mounting holes in the trunk lid where the Cougar spoiler was mounted. I removed it last year because it detracted from the Fastback smooth line. As it could use some body work or new paint, this is not a big issue.
It has always had a drip at the rear seal of the trans, which (the seal) I have had replaced, but it still drips---probably because it's just not driven enough and it dries out.
The rear end housing had a hairline crack in it, which I had welded, but it still drips slowly. I'd just replace it as an engine this size needs a 9-inch rear end anyway!
The engine runs well but bogs just a bit at low RPM during take off--probably because I haven't changed the spark plugs for a long time (it's a challenge the way this monster is shoe-horned it), but once past that she will bury the needle on the speedometer and go well beyond the 120 mark mph--easily--which is quite amazing considering it's a three-speed trans. The 460 has incredible torque, activate the line-lock(roll control) button on the Hurst ratchet shifter, hit the accelerator and she will vaporize the rear tires in a cloud of smoke. I never had the rear end ratio checked so I can't say what it is--somewhere in mid-range I think-- as she both accelerates well and has a good high end, as stated. That's pretty much it with issues.
Some miscellaneous comments:
The Weld racing wheels need a good polish but are in good condition. The Radial T/A's are in very good condition with maybe 4,000 miles on them. I was told the Cobra air cleaner is vintage and rare. It has a Accel SuperCoil, GT style Fog lamps, '69 Cobra Jet hood scoop and shock tower brace and Monte Carlo bar.
New Part include: 4-Point roll bar 3 inch Simpson Platinum racing belts. Certified Racing fuel cell. Power window and switch kit. Matching Black Vinyl Pro Car front seats. Hardware and track adapters for new seats. Deluxe Black Interior Carpet. Acoustic/heat Matting. Trunk lining/matt. Xenon headlamps. Kick panels.
Used Parts include: All seats, front and back. Deluxe interior panels w/brushed Aluminum finish. Extra Rear Window Glass. Extra set Driver/Passenger windows. Various miscellaneous parts (bolts, screws, etc.) Dash panels.
Note: Used parts are in fair to good condition but will need some TLC to bring them back to top condition.
Also: The Vehicle and all parts are being sold AS IS. I am more than willing to answer any questions you might have. Feel free to contact me with questions or concerns. I will do my best to answer them in a timely fashion either via phone or email. I have more photos if needed or can take specific ones on request. You are welcome to come and see it in person. I want a satisfied buyer, someone who will bring this beautiful Classic back to it's full glory! Thanks for viewing and taking the time to look! |

Swedish car mag says Ford Mondeo is dangerously, illegally overweight [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Sweden's Teknikens Varld has a reputation for being very persnickety when it comes to auto safety testing, and its latest catch is the Mondeo Titanium Estate 2.0 TDCi 150 bhp S6 MPS (basically a station wagon variant of the Fusion). In addition to the model's mile-long name, it has another problem according to the Swedes, because its weight on the scales does not equal the official numbers for the vehicle. Teknikens Varld claims the wagon is dangerously overweight because it weighs in 4,145 pounds, while Ford officially lists its weight at 3,530 pounds. That 615-pound disparity means that if a family loads it to what they think is the model's gross vehicle weight, it will actually be too heavy, and therefore illegal to drive in Sweden. According to the magazine, when it tried doing this, the rear wheels scraped against the wells, and the estate failed the mag's legendary moose test. However, at 220 pounds over the limit, it passed the test. When reached for comment by Autoblog, Jay Ward, Senior Manager at Ford of Europe Product Communications, explained the reason for the deviation between the official numbers and the magazine's test: "We are aware of this, but this is not an issue that relates specifically to the safety of the Mondeo, but is in fact related to the way in which the cars are tested by the authorities. We provided an Ambiente model for the testing but the car that featured in the magazine test was a Titanium model which has a different weight. We are in discussion with the Swedish Transport Agency to change the framework so the real weight of the Titanium model is reported instead of the Ambiente model which will resolve the issue." Teknikens Varld is well-known for calling out automakers for perceived transgressions. Most recently it leveled criticisms against the all-wheel drive system in the Honda CR-V, and both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Porsche Macan failed its moose test.

Manage Settings. The new Ford Mondeo is dangerously overweight The new Ford Mondeo is a great car, which Teknikens Varld's test shows, but there is one problem – the weight. Mondeo weighs 279 kg more than Ford claims. With big load (ie family plus luggage) the car therefore becomes illegal to drive.
A hybrid and electric Corvette, plus we drive the Ioniq 5 | Autoblog Podcast #728
Fri, May 6 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. Zac drove the electric 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Greg drove the fire-breathing 2022 Maserati Levante Trofeo. The two dive deep into the relatively heavy news week by starting off with a discussion about the upcoming hybrid Corvette before chatting about what the electric Corvette might be like. They have a chat about the possibility of Porsche and Audi officially joining the Formula 1 field. Then, Greg and Zac get into some quick-hitting news to round out the segment by dissecting the updated Kia Soul (now without a turbo), the 30th Anniversary Edition Land Rover Defender and the new CEO at Aston Martin. Following the news and drive reviews, they rope in Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder to give them a quick download of what went down at the first drive for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning. Finally, they reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from someone who is less than pleased about infotainment systems in some new cars. And lastly, the gang hears back from someone they helped out in a prior Spend My Money segment on the podcast. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5
Tue, Oct 4 2016We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.
