Well Labor Day is nearly over so ....continuing the Spring Valley Mustang collection sell off, today we post a 1966 Mustang sedan which is either a parts car or a restoration about to happen; you decide. The back story; this one was purchased by the current owner / seller about 1994 from the widow of a fellow who had started to restore the car and then died before finishing it. He had rebuilt the V-8 engine and three speed transmission and started stripping and sanding in preparation for painting when his health went south and everything stopped. When purchased it ran and drove but had not been started since, until yesterday, when I put in a hot battery and drizzled some gas down the two barrel carb and cranked er up. It will not run for long or even idle of course but it does fire and for a brief few seconds sounds sweet. The gas tank is long since evaporated and the throttle plate is frozen so there is no revving it. The pictures speak for themselves but for the record I must say that every exterior panel that could or has collected rain or dew has rust; doors, hood, top, and places in between. See the pictures. The one redeeming thing? The unibody floor pan is 100% original and pretty much rust free. That is to say there are no holes through the floor. There is some minor surface rust but it will clean up easily. The dash is factory original as well with no cutting or drilling trying to make a modern radio fit. The stock AM radio is in place. The shifter and gauges and steering wheel appear to be original as well. The two brackets from the fire wall to the shock towers are missing and look to be recently removed, another reason the sellers are motivated to move these cars and parts out; mysterious disappearances! Though not seen in any of the photos the factory air cleaner is here and comes with the car. The seats have exploded at the seams and are sun scorched. The chrome is weather pitted. The front bumper is missing, another mysterious disappearance! All four tires are garbage, only two will hold air, so winner will have to bring some wheels and tires to load it. Or I will assist or load with forklift. So, is it worth saving and restoring? Or is it a parts car? Buyers Choice!! If you have the time and the skills it absolutely can be saved as the bottom is honest, firm, and square. If all you need is the drive train, bid accordingly. It goes to a new home at the end of the sale. Personal inspection is recommended, no, urged, and I am available most any day, by appointment. Otherwise please ask questions before you bid. The sale is absolute and as - is with no refunds, period. We are here to sell it not send it out "on approval". We can and will hold it for free, once paid for, for thirty days freee while transportation is being arranged otherwise it's $25 per day after that. Clear California title in Non-Op status so no fees are due. The beginning bid is what we have been offered locally by a family "friend" / fellow collector, who hasn't bought any of those posted yet! And, as before, we are using eBay to offer it to the eBay universe in order to maximize the return for the seller and, despite the inevitable emails, and despite saying so here someone will ask anyway, I absolutely will not end it early. For those of you following these sales the past few weeks the next car up will be a rusty 66 Ranchero (V-8 automatic) followed by another 66 Mustang sedan (6 cyl ) with interesting flared front fenders (another great story) and all of the remaining loose parts - bits- and pieces. So check back in a few days! |

Jeremy Clarkson chooses his top 10 cars for 2015 and 2016
Mon, Aug 15 2016Jeremy Clarkson is well-known for his role as co-host on the old Top Gear. But the frontman of the upcoming Amazon Prime Show, The Grand Tour, also has a standing column for The Sunday Times in the UK where he reviews the latest cars. With fall nearing, Clarkson put out a list of his top-10 cars from this year and 2015. Some on the list will surprise you, while others represent everything we've come to love about Clarkson. In order to make his list of star cars, the vehicles must offer what co-host James May calls "the fizz." The vehicles, Clarkson claims, have something that is out of the ordinary. Whether it's the car's looks, the way it gets up to speed, or its high-tech gadgets, Clarkson's top-10 list is made up of items that are more than just tools for getting from point A to B. So which ones made the list? Head over to the column in The Sunday Times.

2013 Ford Mustang V6
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Secretary Trim, Evolved
There was a time not so long ago when opting for a base Ford Mustang meant getting little more than some sheetmetal, an anemic four-cylinder engine and what may very well have been the world's most disappointing automatic transmission. During the Fox Body years, Ford seemed hell-bent on living up to Carroll Shelby's derogatory description of the coupe as little more than a runabout for demure office assistants, and the result was a base model with fewer sporting intentions than a Dilbert day calendar.
Some 20 years later, hopping behind the wheel of an entry-level pony is an entirely different experience. With all of the menacing aesthetics of the brawnier GT, a well-equipped interior and a drivetrain that toes the line between efficiency and power better than few before it, the 2013 Ford Mustang V6 is an attractive option for buyers in the big coupe market. But is it attractive enough to forgo the beastly GT?
Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.
