Hello and thanks for checking out this nice Mustang.

This car is a recent acquisition for me and I found a fastback that I want more so this one has to go.  This is a very nice original solid car with very little signs of any rust. I will do my best to point out any flaws I have found. I realize it is a worry to buy a car sight unseen online, so I am free to answer any and all questions about the car. I highly recommend coming to look at the car or have someone local look at it but I know that is not always possible so you can be assured that I will provide you all the information you need to make a good decision.

I have a very reasonable reserve and I am open to any offers that are reasonable, just look at something equivalent in shape. I have seen several that are not as nice for more. If it goes the distance I may remove the reserve if it meets what I have in it.

I have owned several Mustangs and I would never buy a rust bucket, or a dog. Every car I buy I ask myself “would I keep it” that is why I could not pass up this one. It is a very solid original car. I will list the items I know about the car along with the allowed pictures. I will have a Photobucket that has over 100 pics. Email me for the link, since eBays crappy system will not let us post a link here.

Please be serious about owning a Mustang and ask questions and call me and we can make this a good experience for all.

Engine:

It has a very clean excellent running 6 cylinder 200cid. I am sure that is original to the car, though I am not sure but I can check the numbers if that matters to you. I looks as if the starter is newer as well as the carburetor. It starts up nicely and runs smooth with no weird noises or smoke. I was told that it was rebuilt but I am not sure and do not have documentation. No major oil leaks or water leaks and it does not overheat at all. It has some chrome dress up items on the engine and it looks great. I have all the original parts in the trunk.

Transmission:

It has an automatic transmission that shifts well and the shifter is factory tight. I will make sure that the transmission gets a service before I sell it. Drive shaft is tight and makes no weird noises at all.

Running Gear:

You can decode the vin if you like, but it has 2.83:1 axle ratio. It works great! No noise or leaks. It has manual steering and it works well and the car drives great down the road. The tires are at least 90% or better and they are in good shape. They were just dirty and I cleaned up the whitewalls. It has the factory hubcaps that are in good shape.

Brakes:

The car has 4 drum brakes with newer parts. I will have them inspected and you will be comfortable knowing that they will work well. It has power brakes with a new booster and master cyl.

 

Interior:

The interior is in excellent shape. All original, code D4 Parchment/Emberglo (maroon). The carpet is very nice, the headliner is perfect as is the rest of the interior. The seats are all original and are in good condition. It has some nice sheepskin covers that cover the front seats and I looked under the covers and the condition is good, there is a couple of small flaws. The dash is nice, but has the wave on the passenger side but I would leave it alone. All the gauges seem to work all the windows work well and it has a remote driver’s mirror. The passenger lock does not work with the key, not sure why. The steering wheel has a couple of cracks in it but it is the original. Lights all work as do the signals. Door panels are good as is the glass. No cracks, there may be a few scratches but you have to be looking for them.

 

Exterior:

This car has a near perfect solid exterior! The factory color is Emberglo Metallic code V. It seems to have one re-paint of a maroon color ( I was told it was a Mustang color) and it is pretty nice. (Driver quality) Looks excellent from 10 feet or so. It is not without flaws, but I am not asking 10k for the car. The doors work well and open and close nicely no door sag. Fit Form and Function work well with this car.

RUST:

 I looked it over very well for rust, since this should be a major concern when buying a Mustang. All the sheet metal is original with the factory coding. No patch panels or quarter patches. I did not try to cover up any patina with paint at all. I wanted you to see the originality. The only rust I found was a very small spot, just a start in the passenger floor pan, and some small bubbles in the lower front corner of the door. The rest of the car and major components are very solid, I do not see them this solid very often! See the pictures for yourself! The car has not had any visible wrecks. Just look at the front core support and rear deck panel! I AM VERY CONFIDENT ABOUT THE SOLIDNESS OF THIS CAR. ALMOST RUST FREE!

I am not looking to hide anything I want  you to appreciate the quality of this car's originality!

Over all this is a very nice original SOLID Mustang. It has obviously been well taken care of and not restored or hacked up. Drive as is with little normal Mustang repairs or have a perfect foundation to take it to the next level show car.

Please call me if you have any questions at all.

U.S. auto sales fall in July, as Detroit dials back on inventory, rental sales

Tue, Aug 1 2017

DETROIT — U.S. carmakers said on Tuesday they continued to slash low-margin sales to daily rental fleets in July as General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles struggled to curb a slide in retail sales. July is on track to be the fifth straight month in which the annual pace of car and light truck sales declined from the same month a year ago, in part because of fewer fleet sales, analysts and industry executives said. July 2016 sales hit a strong 17.9-million-vehicle pace. GM said the seasonally adjusted annual sales rate fell to an estimated 16.9 million vehicles in July. At midmorning on Tuesday, GM shares were down 3.4 percent at $34.77, Ford was down 2.8 percent at $10.91, and Fiat Chrysler shares were down 0.3 percent at $12.05 in New York. GM sales dropped 15 percent from a year ago to 226,107 vehicles, as the company cut rental fleet sales more than 80 percent. The automaker said inventories of unsold vehicles at month's end were 104 days, down from 105 days at the end of June. GM has promised investors to reduce inventories to 70 days by year-end. Ford said its July sales dipped 7.5 percent to 200,212 vehicles, as it cut fleet sales more than 26 percent. Inventories fell to 77 days from 79 the previous month. Fiat Chrysler said sales dropped 10 percent to 161,477, as it also cut back sales to daily rental fleets. Among the top Japanese companies, only Toyota reported a year-to-year gain, with sales up 4 percent to 222,057 — just 4,000 units behind GM. Honda sales were down 1 percent to 150,980 — its first-quarter sales continuing to decline in North America but seeing a big increase in China. And Nissan sales fell 3 percent to 128,295. GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler have cautioned that second-half financial results likely will be lower than first-half results, in part reflecting production cuts in North America and pricing pressures. The automakers this year have been deliberately dialing back sales to rental-car companies, which often generate little to no profit, while struggling to keep retail sales from sagging further, according to industry analysts. Industry consultant LMC cut its full-year forecast for new vehicle sales to 17 million vehicles. Automakers sold a record 17.55 million vehicles in the United States in 2016.

Volkswagen Golf, Ford F-150 named 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Congratulations, Volkswagen Golf/GTI and Ford F-150. You've just been named the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, kicking off the first press day of the Detroit Auto Show. The Golf faced some seriously stiff competition from its runners-up, the Ford Mustang and Hyundai Genesis. But the Golf has been a highly awarded vehicle since its launch, including recently being named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. As for the Truck/Utility award, it wasn't immediately clear that the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 would win the North American honor, topping the Chevrolet Colorado and Lincoln MKC. The Chevy, after all, has been widely praised since arriving this fall, including taking home MT's Truck of the Year award. In 2014, Chevrolet had a sweep of the NACTOY awards, with the Corvette Stingray and Silverado taking top honors. Here's a look at the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year voting breakdown. As you can see, it wasn't exactly neck and neck. Car of the Year Volkswagen Golf/GTI – 256 points Ford Mustang – 204 points Hyundai Genesis – 110 points Truck/Utility of the Year Ford F-150 – 297 points Chevrolet Colorado – 205 points Lincoln MKC – 68 points The winners were determined by the votes of 57 North American jurors who work in all forms of media – magazine, newspaper, television, online and radio, and their ballots were tabulated in secret by accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. Autoblog editors Sharon Carty and Chris Paukert are members of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year jury.

Surprise! More Ford and Lincoln cars found with marijuana

Thu, Jul 27 2017

Ford is starting to have a serious problem on its hands. Today, ABC 7 in Detroit reported that another batch of Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars were found packed with 227 pounds of marijuana. This is a little over a week after Fords in Ohio were found stuffed with marijuana and only about two months after Fords in Minnesota were found full of weed. All of the cars traveled on train from Mexico to their destination. All in, several thousand pounds and several million dollars worth of marijuana has been discovered. According to the report, Immigration and Customs Enforcement found the cars at the Ford Rail Distribution Facility in Woodhaven, Michigan, just south of Ford's world headquarters in Dearborn. ICE became involved after a Ford employee reported the cars to Woodhaven police. It's unclear when and where the cars were packed with marijuana. With the cars in Minnesota, it's believed that the weed was added after leaving the factory but before being loaded on the train. Spare tires were removed and the space was used to smuggle the marijuana. Related Video:
