They make TV shows about "pickers" finding things like this in the back of some rancher's barn. Now it is your turn to find dusty gold.
Farm fresh, stored for about 10 years. The 10 years before that I drove it less than ten times. This is a very straight Mustang convertible.
Let me try to answer the questions before they are asked:
- I am the second owner of this car. My name is currently on the title. I have owned it for about 30 years. For the last 10 years, I kept it under cover. I put less than 30k miles on it in 30 years. The odometer does not show 100ks but I am certain it has over 100k but less than 200k.
- I live in the central valley, an area that is dry and dusty. That is great for storing vehicles because no rust and no salt on the roads. As far as I know, it has never left California. It was made in the Bay Area and the original owners lived in the central valley.
- It runs. I started it but only ran it for about 15 seconds. I believe the carb will need a little work and fresh gas in the tank. I just wanted to be certain it would run. It is a 250 straight 6. It will take a little work to make this a daily driver.
- It is a 3 speed on the floor.
- The body is straight. As far as I know, the body is all original. It is not a patchwork quilt of different parts. I had it painted 30 years ago and it needs a paint job again. (The car is very photogenic.) There is surface rust (easily sanded off) where the paint has chipped or cracked. Some small pitting on the chrome. I washed the car before the pictures and that is the only rust I found.
- The fabric of the top is a loss. It will need a new top. It is an automatic top but it has never worked the entire time I have owned it. All the steel frame is straight and ready for a new skin.
- The interior is in very good shape. The seats have no rips. The carpet is in good shape. Dusty and musty from storage. (I did not detail the interior before the pictures. That is straight from storage.) The dash has a crack. It does not have the original radio, I was young and stupid and put in a Sparkomatic. I did not cut any sheet metal or interior pieces so putting a stock radio back in will be very easy.
- The driver side door will not open. It feels like it will not unlock. I believe it is a linkage issue.
- I have another wiring harness for this car, spare, jack, and the original hubcaps. (Also, 4 additional hubcaps for Mustangs.) Those will go with the car. The tires are older. I would suggest replacing them before driving.
- I will try to answer any questions. If I miss your question, do not assume.
- I do not offer shipping or delivery. You are 100% responsible. It is offered where is and as is. You will be expected to move the car 10 business days after payment.
- I do not accept money orders, personal checks, or other easily forged forms of payment. I do accept cash and paypal. A $500 deposit is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction. Full payment is expected within 10 days of the close of the auction.
- I reserve the right to cancel this auction before any bids are placed.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
Ford looks to space robots to improve car-to-car communications [w/video]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Ford has partnered with St. Petersburg Polytechnic University for three years to research various kinds of connected vehicle communications. The university tie-up is part of its study of space robots, NASA systems created to enable space-to-Earth communication, and the university's own development of systems that enable communication between the International Space State and Earth.
The objective is for Ford to engineer layers of robust networks and redundancy systems that will allow your car to speak to other cars, to emergency vehicles, to infrastructure like traffic lights and buildings, and to the cloud. Benefits would come in just about every area of transit, from avoiding accidents, to getting medical workers to an accident more quickly, to improving the flow of traffic during rush hour.
Check out the press release below for details on what Ford wants to learn from the JUSTIN Humanoid and NASA Robonaut R2, and a video of technical leader Oleg Gusikhin discussing his interest in the project.
Recharge Wrap-up: BMW tests AdBlue pumps, Drivr is a Tesla taxi service
Thu, Jan 22 2015BMW is testing AdBlue pumps in Germany. AdBlue fluid is used to remove NOx from diesel exhaust, and it is stored in its own tank within the vehicle. Filling AdBlue is easy enough for drivers to do it themselves, and with the proliferation of diesel vehicles in Europe, a pump filling system could make more sense than using the current hand-held containers. BMW is testing AdBlue pumps at three fueling stations in Munich and Berlin to help develop further AdBlue dispenser technology. Read more at Green Car Congress. Drivr Green Personal Transportation is a Tesla taxi service in Cincinnati. Two former employees of Tesla Motors founded the startup, which bills itself alongside ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. Customers book a ride online, and are picked up by a Tesla Model S. The ride costs $2.50 per mile with a $15 minimum. Drivr currently operates three cars with seven drivers, with plans to lease another 10 Teslas and employ up to 30 drivers. The service will also be expanding to Denver soon, according to the website. Learn more at the Drivr website, or read more at Clean Technica. Ford is opening a research and development facility in Silicon Valley. The Ford Research & Innovation Center, which will be located less than three miles from Tesla Motors headquarters in Palo Alto, California, is expected to be one of the automotive industry's largest R&D facilities. "We're driving to be both a product and a mobility company, and ultimately to change the way the world moves," says Ford CEO Mark Fields. Read more at Automotive News. Law firms advising Fisker Automotive have been denied a $2.50-million fee enhancement in the car company's bankruptcy. Brown Rudnick LLP and Saul Ewing LLP were denied the extra fees, as a Delaware bankruptcy judge ruled there is "no evidence" that the firms provided anything more than what they originally expected. In denying the fee enhancement, the judge cited a "very high bar" for such awards. Read more at Law360.
