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.

FIA introduces 'Hypercar Concept' for World Endurance Championship
Sun, Jun 10 2018One of the most common jabs at hypercars is the question, "Where can you drive them to their potential?" Imagine the answer being: to the checkered flag in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. We're not there yet, but the FIA World Motor Sport Council took a step closer to the possibility during its second annual meeting in Manila, the Philippines. One of three initiatives the WSMC announced for the 2020 World Endurance Championship was "Freedom of design for brands based on a 'Hypercar' concept." This "Hypercar concept" would replace LMP1 as the premier class in the WEC. The dream, of course, would be seeing racing versions of the AMG Project One, Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg Regera, McLaren Senna GTR, Pagani Huara BC, and the rest of the gang trading paint and carbon fiber through Dunlop in a heinously expensive version of "Buy on Sunday, sell on Monday." The reality is that we don't have all the details yet on the set of regulations called "GTP," but the FIA wants race cars more closely tied to road cars, albeit with the performance level of today's LMP1 cars. Exterior design freedom would shelter internals designed to reduce costs, the FIA planning to mandate less complex hybrid systems and allow the purchase of spec systems. One of the FIA's primary goals is lowering LMP1 budgets to a quarter of their present levels. Audi and Porsche budgets exceeded $200 million, while Toyota - the only factory LMP1 entry this year and next - is assumed to have a budget hovering around $100 million. Reports indicated that Aston Martin, Ferrari, Ford, McLaren, and Toyota sat in on the development of the proposed class. If the FIA can get costs down to around $25 million, that would compare running a top IndyCar team and have to be hugely appealing to the assembled carmakers. The initiative represents another cycle of the roughly once-a-decade reboot of sports car racing to counter power or cost concerns. The FIA shut down Group 5 Special Production Sports Car class in 1982 to halt worrying power hikes, and introduced Group C. In 1993, Group C came to an ignoble end over costs; manufacturers were spending $15 million on a season, back when that was real money and not one-fifth of a Ferrari 250 GTO. Then came the BPR Global GT Series that morphed into the FIA GT Championship, which would see the last not-really-a-road car take overall Le Mans victory in 1998, the Porsche 911 GT1. That era would be most aligned with a future hypercar class.
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.
