1968 ford mustang coupe base model. No air conditioning. Front wheel disc brakes. 289 motor.

Has been parked, and not started since 1987. It is a non running car. Motor does turn over. 
Would love to restore the car myself. But time, money, and a little bit more work than I am capable of. So have decided to sell the car. Donating proceeds to "love without boundaries" and "Holt international".

Will try to cover everything I know about the car from the past 4 months:
Has been sitting since 1987.
Car is very original, and a very restorable project. Has original paint on car- except drivers rear quarter panel area. Can see it in picture.
Overall undercarriage very intact. All surface rust, except a seam at drivers side floor panel. Did not show up too well in pictures.
Rust on body. Pictures should give you an idea of what is there.  Looks like all major body work is back part of car.
If have an area you need a better picture, let me know. What you see is what you get. 
Have original keys, owners manual, and a few misc receipts, a a lot of history told to me of car from my neighbor. Download photo 2.JPG (880.1 KB)Download photo 3.JPG (531.3 KB)Download photo 2.JPG (602.9 KB)

Shoulder belt straps were cut out of the car at some point. Small cut in headliner.
Fading, aging on plastic chrome trim around gauges.
Trunk lid is rusted on inner lip and needs to be replaced.
Both front and rear bumpers  are damaged, and need to be replaced.Download photo 3.JPG (858.8 KB)Download photo 1.JPG (870.7 KB)Download photo 3.JPG (848.4 KB)
The back of car hit hard enough to damage drivers side quarter panel by taillight.
 Also hit hard enough from back to push gas filler/taillight panel in about an inch. Can see when looking from side view.
All tires are bad. Do hold are for transporting.
Fuel tank probably shot. Gas looks like watered down pancake syrup.
Needs battery, and battery tray( rusted)
No spark at spark plugs when Turning motor over.Download photo 3.JPG (615.1 KB)Download photo 1.JPG (587.2 KB)Download photo 2.JPG (618.3 KB)

Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.

And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.

Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.
