See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"1 of 7 known to exist factory Sidewinder Mustangs in show condition"
Sidewinder Mustangs have beed described as the 'Bigfoot Mustang', meaning everyone has heard of them but very few have ever seen one. If you are not familar with them there is a whole website dedicated to them with a registry, google it and it will tell you all the history better then me. Here is one that is registered in the Sidewinder registry as of 1 of 7 cars known to exist, total production was 44 cars all made in the same sequence of VIN numbers. These VIN #'s are a closely held secret so I won't be releasing the full VIN so don't ask, this helps to prevent clones of anyone with a Mustang that is close to these VIN's although there are quite a few 'box's' that would need to be checked in order for it to be considered a Sidewinder.
When I bought this car it came to me as a fully 'restored orignal' car that had been painted from its original yellow to the orange you see on it now. The car came complete with oversized tires on the rear, a nice fresh coat of dealer installed rubber undercoating, and Hooker headers and exhaust to name a few things. I decided to do the car properly by starting with what I couldn't see, underneath. I scrapped off all the gooey undercoat to see what I was dealing with. The car had new pans in the front, everything else was original. I proceeded to strip everything off which included all fuel lines, brake lines, diff, transmission, driveshaft, I even cut out the torque box's and replaced them with new. The color I found on the underside is the color you see on it now, apparently Ford used a slop barrel (all left over paint from their production line went into this barrel and used as primer on the underside of their cars) and not red oxide or black as what is commonly done. After cleaning the driveshaft I returned it back to original colors found underneath including the 'white dot' which indicated that is was the 4th pipe cut off the line which told the workers that it had to be balanced individually.
Undercarriage: Everything new or restored, transmission (original Ford 4spd toploader), diff. (original Ford 3:50 traction lock), completely rebuilt. New torque box's coated individually on all sides with POR 15. Pans cleaned down to bare metal, primed and coated to a computer match of the existing paint but with Devoe Bar Rust (they will last forever now), new fuel lines, brake lines, u-joints, brakes (discs in the front drums in the back), leaf springs, shocks, clips, e-brakes cables + springs etc., rubber grommets, correct exhaust manifolds, fuel tank and factory style exhaust + hangers from The Mustang Shop. There is nothing left to do underneath.
Interior: Is original and as I found it, no rips, tears, cracks or worn spots on dash, seats or headliner. Carpet is excellant, door panels are excellant, nothing you can do to make it better.
Engine bay: Orginal 351 Cleveland is how I found it. I don't know what was done to it in the past but it runs strong, pulls hard and has a nice idle. No leaks, electronic ignition. Engine bay is clean, nice and tidy.
Body + paint: Again the body and paint is how I got it, I don't know what if any sheet metal was replaced but the paint is clean and looks good. Color change was done well, the only place I could find showing the original color is underneath the rear deck inside the trunk which can only be seen when the gas tank is out. (That's how I saw it) No dents and no scratches, gaps are good and paint has a good shine. In my opinion though not show quality but very nice. Glass is all good, all lights work.
If I keep the car I plan to strip the body and return it back to its original color of yellow (it's the nice Ford yellow not the washed out looking one). So if I still have it I plan to add it to my list of winter projects in the next month or so. Original DSO was Omaha. Car breaks down to 1 of 2,989 with 351-4v, 1 of 62 yellow, 1 of 51 black vinyl, 1 of 3 3:50 traction lock, 1 of 2 color keyed sport mirrors, and 1 of 1 with power steering for those of you that like that kind of thing.
Conditons: car is sold as is, please bid only if you are serious and actually have the funds to purchase a super rare factory Mustang. However, I'm not going to tell you all that crap about the legality of the winning bid and how you have to buy the car and I'm going to keep your deposit (money which is not mine). If you win, i need a deposit of $2000 after the end of the auction. Then fly out, have somone ispect it or simply pay for it. Doesn't matter to me, but once the car is paid for and shipped you own it so due your own dilegence. I will assist in shipping in whatever way I can. If you do inspect the car and findout its not to your liking I will refund your deposit except for Ebay fee's.
I do have a collection of cars but I find I am leaning more to the european specifically British. I like rare and unusal cars. Cars on my bucket list include a 100-4, E-type, 60's-70's Lotus, '62 MGA's etc., other then that I'm not really interested in trades. Reserve is set fairly for a car this rare but will not be released. Email any questions.

Ford brings FPV Falcon production in house [w/video]
Thu, 21 Feb 2013For the first time since 1976, Ford of Australia is bringing the assembly of its stonking Ford Performance Vehicle line back in-house to the company's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. That's a point of pride for FPV, which builds high-performance versions of the Australian Falcon model like the F6, GS and the heroic GT seen here.
In the video below, we hear FPV employees talking in hushed tones about the important legacy that cars like the GT have for Australian gearheads of all stripes, and how proud they are to say that hand-built machines like this GT R-Spec with its Boss 355 engine are now rolling out of their home base. For our part, we're just dying to drive this version of the Coyote V8; the engine is rocking a "Miami" supercharger from Harrop and makes some 450 horsepower.
Continue on below for the video, or you can check out some images of the new FPV at the facility, as well as a gallery of the GT R-Spec car.
2015 Saleen 302 Black Label Mustang unveiled with 730 horsepower
Mon, Mar 23 2015The last time Saleen made these pages it was to report that the firm was out of money. However, just before that announcement, the tuning specialist told us about the three Saleen 302 Mustangs it was developing at three levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label, with those latter two trims to put out 640 horsepower and 565 pound-feet of torque. Well, the Black Label is here - don't let the California Sunset paint fool you - and it's more powerful than planned, with 730 hp and 600 lb-ft blasted out of a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 hooked up to a twin-screw supercharger. Saleen says it's the most powerful, refined, and advanced Mustang it has ever built. Keeping all that power on the road is the increase in downforce that comes from a body that's been extended one inch in front and two inches in the back, and the wing suspended over the decklid. The stock suspension is refitted with Saleen S4 springs, shocks, swaybars and bushings, and the 20-inch wheels on 275-section rubber hide 15-inch dimpled rotors. The interior gets the requisite frills in leather and contrasting stitches, as well as new gauges and badging. It'll take $73,214 to open the door, but just $2,015 to put down a deposit. For more info, check out the press release below. Related Video: 2015 Saleen 302 Black Label Mustang March 15, 2015 -- Earlier this year, Saleen Automotive released their 2015 White and Yellow Label 302 Mustangs to much fanfare. To round out their fleet, Saleen pulled out all the stops and developed one of the best Mustangs to date. This car is set to change the way pony cars are looked at from here on out. At a one-of-a-kind event in Downtown LA, Saleen raised the curtain on the latest pony car out of their Corona, CA headquarters. "Since I started building cars in 1984 my goal has always been to go above and beyond where anybody has been before", said Steve Saleen. "This will by far be the most refined and advanced Mustang we have built to date." With over 30 years of experience in both racing and manufacturing vehicles, it was only a matter of time before Saleen built a Mustang as comprehensive and technologically advanced as the 2015 302 Black Label. Power Saleen combined the reliability and potency of the 5.0L Coyote motor with a twin-screw supercharger. The pair produces the most power from a production Mustang yet at 730 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque on 91 octane gas.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R-C set to storm Watkins Glen
Wed, Jun 24 2015Ford is bringing its latest high-performance Mustang back to the track with the new 2016 GT350R-C, which will debut and race in this weekend's IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge race at Watkins Glen. The spiritual successor to the Boss 302R that's still taking part in the Continental Tire series today, the first GT350R-C will be campaigned by Multimatic Motorsports. It's had its fully independent suspension completely revised for the track, and it gets everything from new spring rates to new anti-roll bars to a lowered ride height. Like the road-going GT350, a 5.2-liter, flat-plane-crank V8 sits under the hood, although Ford didn't release any specifics on power output. In fact, details are in short supply. We're expecting some sort of sequential racing transmission, wildly enhanced brakes, and a thoroughly race-prepared cabin, although Ford hasn't released any info on that stuff. The Blue Oval also hasn't said anything about the aerodynamic package, but strangely, it looks more or less like what's featured on the standard GT350R. The front fascia and rear wing are pretty much identical, and even the side sills seem roughly similar to the production model. "Like so many Mustangs before it, the Shelby GT350R is a car born to race," Ford's director of global performance, Dave Pericak, said in the attached press release. "We're taking it to the track as the GT350R-C and we're ready to see what it can do against the best competition in the world." Scroll down for the official press release from Ford. And if you're so inclined, you can check out the GT350R-C's debut race this weekend at IMSA.com, with coverage starting at 12:25 P.M. If you prefer normal TV, Fox Sports 1 will get around to re-broadcasting the race on July 5 at 10:00 A.M.
