1966 Ford Mustang GT coupe with pony interior. I have owned this car for the last 15 years, I purchased it with the intentions of doing a ground up restoration but just never got around to it so I have decided to offer it for sale. This Mustang is a true GT from the light bar grill to the exhaust trumpets. This car has all of it's original metal from the ground up and has never been modified, wrecked, restored, or molested in any way. The only rust that I am aware of is in the driver door front in the wide white stripe and it could be covered with two quarters. This car was purchased new in California and remained there the first 22 years of it's life. In 1988 the original owner gave it to his son for a wedding present and it was driven back to Kansas where it sat in a garage for approximately 10 years. I purchased the Mustang in 1998 from the son and it has sat in a garage for the last 15 years.  This is an amazing survivor, to be 47 years old, with 79,067 actual miles, still wearing it's original emberglow paint and emberglow and parchment pony interior. The paint is worn through in spots from washing and buffing, and the interior is starting to show wear. A few years back I purchased a complete set of new pony seat covers because I was concerned that this color would be discontinued. These covers were never installed and will go with the car. The body over all is very straight, the worst place is on the driver front fender and looks like something fell against it and left a crease. There are a few other minor scrapes, scratches and dings one would expect on a car that was on the road for 22 years. All of the glass is in excellent condition and appears to be factory tinted. On the interior, the headliner has a hole in it, the original dash pad does not have any cracks, the door panels do not have any cracks, the carpets still look very good, both bucket seats have seams that have opened up, and the back seat looks like it has never been sat in. The dash is complete with all the gauges still intact and the original AM radio still in place. As you can tell from the pictures this car has a full console and a Rally Pac (tachometer and clock). The pony wood grain steering wheel does not have any separation from setting in the sun. The car still has it's original styled steel factory wheels with trim rings and centers. As you can tell from the pictures, the underside of this car is in great condition including the frame rails, trunk drops, floor pans, shock towers, trunk floors, battery area, and the car has never been undercoated. This Mustang is still powered by it's original 289CI / 225HP 4 barrel engine and it's C-4 automatic transmission. The carburetor is still the 4100 Ford  original. Through the years the engine has been started at least once a year. Due to long term storage the car is currently not road worthy. I can start it with a can of starting fluid and a jump box so potential buyers can hear it run, but it will not pull itself onto a trailer. The brakes are not working, and the tires are over 15 years old, and the mufflers are starting to show their age.  This is an excellent example of an early GT equipped original Mustang with a very rare low production color combination that with very little effort can be returned to it's original legendary showroom condition. I have tried to describe this Mustang to the best of my ability but have probably missed something that you need to know, if so just ask. If you would like to inspect this car prior to the end of the auction, again, just ask and arrangements will be made.  Please do not ask if I have a buy it now price, because I do not. Since I do not know how much this car is worth I am hoping Ebay will help determine that. This car has a good Missouri title. The winning bidder will not be disappointed. The buyer will be responsible for all transportation costs if required.

Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams

Sun, 11 Aug 2013

As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.

Ford recalls over 953,000 vehicles to replace Takata airbag inflators

Fri, Jan 4 2019

DETROIT — Ford is recalling more than 953,000 vehicles worldwide to replace Takata passenger airbag inflators that can explode and hurl shrapnel. The move includes over 782,000 vehicles in the U.S. and is part of the largest series of recalls in U.S. history. Included are the 2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX, the 2010 and 2011 Ford Ranger, the 2010 to 2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan, and the 2010 to 2014 Ford Mustang. Some of the recalls may be limited to specific geographic areas of the U.S. Takata used the chemical ammonium nitrate to create an explosion to inflate airbags. But it can deteriorate over time due to heat and humidity and explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister designed to contain the explosion. At least 23 people have been killed worldwide and hundreds injured by the inflators. Ford says it doesn't know of any injuries in vehicles included in this recall. Dealers will replace the inflators. Ford will notify owners about the recall starting on Feb. 18, and the company has replacement parts available for dealers to order, said spokeswoman Monique Brentley. In previous Takata recalls, parts availability had been an issue. Owners can go to this Ford website and key in their vehicle identification number to see if their cars and SUVs are being recalled. The same information will be available soon at the NHTSA recall website. More than three years after the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration took over management of recalls involving Takata inflators, one third of the recalled inflators still have not been replaced, according to an annual report from the government and a court-appointed monitor. The report says 16.7 million faulty inflators out of 50 million under recall have yet to be replaced. And 10 million more inflators are scheduled to be recalled this month, including the Ford vehicles. Safety advocates said the completion rate should be far higher given the danger associated with the inflators. The recalls forced Takata of Japan to seek bankruptcy protection and sell most of its assets to pay for the fixes. The inflators grow more dangerous as they get older because ammonium nitrate deteriorates due to high humidity and cycles from hot temperatures to cold. The most dangerous inflators are in areas of the South along the Gulf of Mexico that have high humidity. Related Video:

Petersen Museum celebrates 50 years of Ford Mustang with special exhibit

Mon, May 5 2014

If you're a pony-car enthusiast, this is your year. Not only has Ford introduced an all-new Mustang, but it's also the 50th anniversary of the original. Celebrations and commemorations have been scheduled throughout the year, and not the least of them is the latest exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Called "Mustangs Forever: 50 Years of a Legend", the exhibit includes Mustangs from every generation of the iconic pony car, including the 1965 convertible Ronald Reagan drove during his California gubernatorial campaign, a 1971 Mach 1 Cobra Jet, a 1974 Mustang II, 1993 SVT Cobra, 2000 Cobra R and a 2006 Shelby GT-H. Special sections focus on motorsports, aftermarket modifiers and limited-edition models. The display opened on Sunday with the Mustang Madness spectacular and will run for the next six months, but if you're not heading to Southern California within the coming half-year then you can scope out all the action in our live gallery of photos above.
