----------------LOW RESERVE--------------

You are bidding on a 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback that has been in storage for several years ( about 10 ) .  It was pulled out of storage a few months ago, and now I am selling it on E-bay, because I would like the vehicle to be in the care of someone who can appreciate it more than I can, and give it the love and attention it deserves.  Sadly, I cannot give this car my full attention due to other responsibilities in my life. 

I will be throwing in a Free Car Cover that is 1 month new.  There is one hole in the car cover for the antenna to stick through.
Also 1 Brand New ABC Fire Extinguisher will be given with the vehicle, as well as an old one that came with the car when I bought it.  The original A/C (Air conditioner) Unit will also be sent with the car, it is old. ( hence the reason why I believe it is original)  The California registration is current up to March 18, 2014.  I think it costs about $67 per year for registration.  The trunk contains an old, possibly original jack with lever, and spare tire.  There is also an old mustang leather fender cover for protecting your car from scratches when you work on it.  you will also be getting the car with a full tank of gas, and an empty gas can of about 2 gallon capacity.

I will be including several pictures, and videos can be seen on my youtube channel for as long as this auction is current, which will be about 1 week.  

The battery was purchased brand new about 6-8 months ago.   The paint job on the car is in pretty good shape, but its not perfect. the driver and passenger leather seats are in pretty good shape, they were bought before the car was stored in 2002.  The engine is a 351 Windsor.  Most of the hardware on the top end of the engine if not all of it is in good condition, a top end rebuild was done before it was stored.

List of items that may need work:
*****The engine may require a tune up ( I honestly do not know since I am not a mechanic, but I did take the car to a certified mechanic a few days ago and he can give you more information on his opinion of the vehicle, his number is included at the bottom of this page, if you call them, ask about the red 1969 mustang that was brought in on july 5th.)
***Some minor leaks  ( from my observation the leaks are at a very low rate about 2-3 drops every 20-30 minutes, I was told by the mechanic that all old cars have this issue. )
****on the interior:
dashboard has cracks in the middle and needs replaced,
 guages need work:speedometer adjusted, fuel gauge in-operable, 
steering wheel needs to be rotated 90 degrees to make it look normal, it is off a bit right now should be a simple fix,
 center console missing bracket, and screws should be a cheap and easy fix...see photos/video,
 the wood panel in front of the center console needs to be reglued/epoxied at the base...also see photo/video for this...; 
clock is working, but time needs to be adjusted, 
carpet near passenger seat needs to be fixed...slight gap about 1/2 and inch to 1 inch...see video titled: interior, 
headliner behind driver seat needs to be finished, it never was although I had purchased it new back in 2002. 
12 Disc Cd changer needs to be looked at, it does not seem to be ejecting as it should, this should be a minor fix...although with new technology you might want to get rid of it, and replace it with a smartphone connector.
trunk needs to be cleaned up, possibly new liners etc....see video entitled: trunk

letter "A" missing from the name mustang on the rear of car
minor scratches/chips throughout the car, again see photos/videos.
minor rust on wheels, 
possibly rust under vehicle, ( was told by local mechanic that vehicle was solid body wise, again I am not a car person, so I am not sure what is good/bad etc, I would call it Average wear and tear for a 44 year old vehicle.)

If you have questions, contact me on Ebay, if you want to get specific answers on mechanical questions, please feel free to contact the mechanic shop I used on July 5th, information is below.  I have made every effort to make this as honest as possible, all I ask for is a fair price for the vehicle, whatever current market value is for the condition it is in.    All I ask is that you take a look at the photos and videos, if you like what you see, put in a bid, if not then thank you for your time.  

I am not a very mechanically inclined person, but I did take this car in to a shop to fix an oil gasket leak this past week, and the mechanic stated that if anyone had any questions, he would be more than happy to explain things they wanted to know.  here is the information for the autoshop that I used, which was a very good place to go to if you need auto work done.  



Thank you for looking at my auction.  Happy bidding.

Please note the following:  The tag on the dashboard reads VIN 9R02F105803  .  I checked the door tag and it reads a different number as follows:
9R01L150798---The only possible explanation that I have is that this is in-fact a warranty number, not the VIN number, based on a picture of the tag on this website : http://www.classicponycars.com/69data.html     
the image shows a door tag and reads as follows  
" warranty number, not for title or registration"

Here are the rest of the door tag codes;

BODY- 65A   Coupe w/ Standard Int., Buckets
COLOR- W    Meadowlark Yellow
interior trim- 2G   Ivy Gold, Standard Buckets
date code- 27B   Feb 27, 1969 manufacture date
DSO District Code- 71   Los Angeles
axle-   3  -  2.79:1 Standard Differential
trans-  W-  C-4 Automatic


 Thank you.

Ok, so I checked with the mechanic Nathan at Ken's Auto Repair, and he confirmed that his expert opinion is that the Engine is a 351.  While I was there I got a chance to put the car up on the lift, and get a cool video of the under part of the car which I am currently uploading to the youtube channel. [ it will be done in about 30 minutes, currently 1300 or 1PM PST]  .  Also I responded to a question but it did not get posted on here, so here it is for your information a clarification on the door tag codes VS a Marti Report for the Vehicle, which will be included in the sale when the vehicle ships.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, I was looking through some papers and found that I had a copy a Marti Report already done. The door tags I have posted at the bottom of the link. The marti report will be included in the sale and will be sent along with the car. As far as the engine goes I will double check with the mechanic, but I was always under the impression that it was a 351. You are right though according to the VIN and marti report, the car was manufactured as a 302-2v Engine. I am thinking that somewhere along the line a previous owner converted the vehicle to a 351, that is the only explanation I can come up with at the moment. The Marti report differs from the tags in the following areas:
63A Mustang Sportsroof instead of BODY- 65A Coupe w/ Standard Int., Buckets
4A Black Clarion Knit Vinyl Hi-Back Bucket Seats instead of interior trim- 2G Ivy Gold, Standard Buckets
23J Scheduled for build: Septermber 23, 1968 instead of date code- 27B Feb 27, 1969 manufacture date
72 San Jose Ordering District instead of DSO District Code- 71 Los Angeles


On Jul-12-13 at 20:32:53 PDT, seller added the following information:

Again the questions and answers is not working properly so I am posting this information as a response to a question.

Good Day, I have some pictures of the top of the engine, and I think thanks to your questions we can finally put to rest once and for all that this is a 351W. The intake is an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap part number 7581. According to the website :
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-7581/applications/?prefilter=1
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-7581/

This part is designed for :
Make:FORD
Beginning Year:1969
Ending Year:1997
Engine Type:V8
Liter:5.8
CID:351
Engine Size:5.8L/351
Engine Family:Ford small block Windsor
Carburetor Mounting:4-barrel square bore
Cylinder Head Style (application):Windsor

So that should confirm that the engine is in fact a 351W for anyone that is asking, sorry about all the confusion, I really wish I would have spent more time as a kid working on cars VS playing sports and working, But I digress. If I recall correctly the car was purchased off of Ebay [Ironic because here it is again] around January of 2001. It was a daily driver for me to go to school and work, I took the best care that I could with the car, but once I graduated High School, I joined the Marine Corp, and the car stayed at home, where it got put into storage. Before it went into storage it had a some work done to it and paint done as well. The paint job is not the greatest or most expensive. There are some minor chips, and different areas that some effects of weathering can be seen, but that being said, I have a 2004 Car that has a worse paint job than the mustang, so overall it was pretty taken care of. The car does shine up pretty nice, which overall seems to take the attention away from any flaws it may have. Also the car seems pretty straight to me. Overall I would say the car will most likely need a new paint job, but I am a perfectionist. The car as it sits now paint job wise is in FAR better condition than when I received the car in 2001. The best I can tell I would call the paint job Average. attached is a photo of the engine and part number.

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.

2022 Rivian R1T vs. 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning vs. GMC Hummer EV Pickup | How they compare on paper

Tue, Sep 28 2021

The 2022 Rivian R1T has arrived, ushering in the era of the production electric pickup truck. The Rivian reviews are in, and spoiler alert: They're pretty good. Curious how the new battery-powered truck stacks up to its forthcoming competitors? Well, you've come to the right place. Rivian beat all of Detroit's big automakers to market in the half-ton segment, but probably not by the margin the startup would have liked. Ford's answer is the F-150 Lightning, which is due to enter production early next year, coming hot on the heels of GM's first entry into the space – the GMC Hummer EV pickup – which is scheduled to come off the line late this fall. While all three are pickups, they're aimed at distinctly different buyers, as a perusal of their specifications will reveal. Let's have a look, shall we?   Disclaimer: Before we dive in on this one, we'd like to note that while we've made our best effort to verify the specs provided, the Rivian is brand-new and the others are still in the prototype phase. Some of these figures may be inaccurate or may simply change before production. This is all hypothetical until you can actually cross-shop them anyway, right? Cool. End disclaimer. Let's start with the powertrains. They're all battery-electric trucks engineered on a modular rear-wheel-drive configuration engineered to accommodate (theoretically, anyway) up to four electric drive units. Rivian actually makes the most use of this with a quad-motor setup producing 835 horsepower and 908 pound-feet of torque with its high-output initial model. GMC's three-motor Hummer has the R1T beat with its estimated 1,000-horsepower output, while Ford's (also three-motor) comes in with a far more modest 563 horses. This is an excellent illustration of our above point that these are not all engineered for the same crowd. Ford's F-150, which comes in at a lower price point, is meant to be far more mainstream, as its power output suggests.  This theme continues when we look at the dimensions. Despite the image "Hummer" may conjure, GMC's entry actually needs the shallowest parking space. The Rivian is right behind it, with the work-truck-spec Ford extending more than a foot longer than either. What the Hummer lacks in length, it makes up for in girth. It's the widest by a good 5 inches. The Rivian is only slightly pudgier than the F-150, but it's much closer at that end of the scale.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
