Up for bids is this original 1969 ford mustang convertible. It is in need of a full restoration but is very buildable. It would be a good candidate for a shelby clone or just a good original convertible. It has seen better days but is still very buildable. It has its good points and bad points. It has a clear title. The car has factory disc brakes. It looks to be the original color still with the original interior. I will start with the good and end with the bad. I will start with the body. The body panels are all pretty much repairable. The rear quarters will need a little body work but are not rusted out and are repairable. The doors could be fixed. The passenger door has some rust on the bottom side of it. The fenders are okay. The hood is okay. I have the headlight buckets and they are okay. The top frame is okay. The windshield and trim arouond it are okay. It will need a new taillight panel. I have the grille and the front pieces. The trunk lid is okay. The rear frame rails are okay. The outer rockers are okay. The drivers frame rails are all good. What it needs. The floors have already been cut out and need replacing which is normal in a convertible. The inner rockers have some rust in them. They are not completely gone. The passenger one is worse than the drivers. They could be patched and used but that will be up to the buyer. The passenger torque box is crusty. The front rail under the battery box has a little place that will need some work. The trunk also has some places around where the gas tank goes on the passenger side. I took pics of everything. They are all easy fixes if you know how to weld. This car is still structurly sound. It does not sag like some convertibles do. It is still very buildable. The dash and all that stuff is still in it. I have the keys to it. The motor and transmission is still in it but I am sure it will need rebuilding. It has the style steel wheels on it. I have all the seats to it. The only other bad thing about it is the door glass and quarter glass are missing. The windshield is good but the door and quarter glasses are gone. I have a clear title to it. This is a project car as advertised but it very buildable. It rolls ans steers fine. It is easy to load on a trailer. If you have any other questions or need more info just let me know. I can store it as long as needed but will require full payment within seven days of the end of auction. I will accept cash in person, bank wire transfer, or certified bank check as payment. The car will have to be picked up in Jonesboro Louisiana. Please ask all questions before bidding if you need to know something or are not sure of something.

Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
Next-gen Ford Taurus spotted in China
Fri, Jan 2 2015We're getting our first look at the next-generation Ford Taurus thanks to some spy shooters in China. While the camouflage and angle of the photo keep changes to the body a secret, there's no hiding the massive hexagonal, chrome grille up front. It lends a look very similar to the Fusion. Beyond the eye-grabbing grille, the headlights are reshaped, but are still quite squinty. There's also a new lower air dam that runs the width of the front with LEDs at the top corners. The hexagonal grille fits the design of the Fusion well, but this single image makes it look a little too big and disproportionate for the fullsize Ford sedan. Maybe the integration works better from a different angle, though. The next-gen Taurus is rumored debut for the 2016 model year and reportedly rides on a stretched and widened version of the Fusion's platform. Ford's big goal for the new model is allegedly to shed as many pounds from the scales as possible. The sedan also may get a nine-speed automatic to boost fuel economy. The engine range is still a mystery, but EcoBoost options are practically a sure thing, possibly even making up the whole model lineup.
Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers
Wed, 30 Apr 2014Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.
