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.

Ford offering factory-spec EcoBoost reflashes that don't void warranty*
Sat, Dec 27 2014Buy a supercharger or cold-air kit from Ford Racing and a Performance Calibration handset comes with it to reset the ECU for the upgrade. Now Ford Racing is offering the ProCal handset a la carte for $595, allowing you to reflash the ECU on your EcoBoost-equipped ride to extract more of its inherent capabilities without any additional upgrades. It gives you control of variables such as throttle response, idle speed and turbo wastegate control, among others. As for that warranty asterisk, the press release says enthusiasts can up the power "while maintaining the Ford-backed limited warranty." However Ford Motor Co. and Ford Racing are separate entities, and, best we can tell, when you reflash the ECU, your Ford warranty gets supplanted by the Ford Racing warranty. Say you bought a 2014 Ford, that means your five-year, 60,000-mile warranty becomes Ford Racing's three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, if we're reading the fine print correctly. If you have an older car and have driven more than 36,000 miles, then your warranty options are kaput, at least as far as a Ford in-house option. If have warranty concerns, you might also want to consider having a dealer perform the reflash, or at least ask about it. Once you've got past the small print, what about the numbers? At the moment Ford Racing offers tunes for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost in the Focus ST and the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the Fiesta ST, and we're told there's a 90-pound-foot boost in torque at the crank after you've pressed the right buttons. Anecdotal evidence from a commenter at Road & Track says he went from 252 horsepower at the flywheel to 254 hp at the wheels, and 272 lb-ft at the flywheel to 354 lb-ft at the wheels, but we can't be sure that his adjustments were within Ford Racing specs. Your mileage, naturally, may vary. What about custom numbers for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the 2015 Ford Mustang? They aren't ready yet, but we're told we'll get something by the end of next year.

Leno talks racing with NASCAR racer Joey Logano
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Jay Leno has to be under significant pressure knowing the appetite his fans have for a new Jay Leno's Garage video every week. This time, Jay takes a break from his usual format (something he's been doing with some frequency as of late) and goes back to his roots as a talk show host. There's no classic in the garage his episode with an interesting story to tell and a sumptuous exhaust note. Instead, the focus is purely on interviewing 23-year-old NASCAR racer Joey Logano about what it's like to be a racecar driver in his Ford Fusion.
Logano started racing at the tender age of six and has risen up the circle-track ranks to the big show of the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The two of them talk about what it's like to compete in the sport today compared to yesteryear, and Logano shares some racing anecdotes. Of course, they also get into what it's like to be on the racetrack controlling a car with about 850 horsepower, a four-speed manual transmission and brakes without any power boost. Scroll down to watch the video.
New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
