1966 Ford Mustang 289 V-8 Hardtop - North Carolina Car in 

Excellent Condition, Trophy Winning and Rust Free

 

Offering all car collectors, purists,  and lovers of the original and iconic first generation Ford Mustangs a unique opportunity to own this beautiful, show worthy and exceptionally clean 1966 Ford Mustang 289 V-8. One trophy and a plaque (first and second place) won by this Mustang are included with the car. Non-smoker owned this car smells factory fresh.

This beautiful 89,600 mile Mustang needs nothing and is in very good original mechanical and good cosmetic condition. Before I purchased it, nearly eight years ago, this Mustang spent most of its life in the southeast United States and was originally purchased and driven in Charlotte, North Carolina.  The car has always been garage kept and stored winters.

This Mustang is completely stock, has no modifications and  has been cared for in a way that is unusual for vintage Mustangs - never kid owned, modified, or abused. The engine is smooth and strong and the car’s automatic transmission shifts smooth and crisp. The single exhaust is original style and the car is quiet running. The steering is tight and accurate feeling and the car feels and is really solid.

This Mustang shows quite well and is a beautiful shade of it's original “Sahara Beige” color and the paint is shiny and is in good condition.  This car has no rot or rust on the body or frame.  The body is original and solid. The engine compartment is remarkably clean and show worthy - see pictures. The chrome shows quite well - see photos, the bumpers are straight and the wire wheel covers simply glisten in the sunlight while in motion.

The original palomino and parchment colored interior is clean, nice and original - see photos.  The original AM radio (highly desired) works perfectly and will pick up your favorite talk radio station or oldies station or your local ball game station.

This fine classic has a clean underside and although not detailed, is just what you would expect from a solid and well maintained and cared for car.  The trunk on this car is clean and original and the five matching whitewall radial tires, all in excellent condition, have less than 1,500 miles on them.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

One man's love of vintage Honda motorcycles spawns new museum

Mon, Jan 19 2015

In 1977, David Silver got a Honda SS50 moped - it was the last year of unrestricted mopeds for riders just 16 years of age in the UK. That two-wheeler made him a fan, and starting his Honda parts business in 1986 made him a part of the Honda family. He started collecting, with the idea that he'd eventually open a museum. During a visit to another amateur collector's trove in Pennsylvania, the Brit got the chance to purchase the 125 bikes the American had gathered, and his museum aspirations hit the fast-forward button. He's in the process of building a proper home for the bikes in Suffolk, it should open later this year. There will be everything from the first Cub F engine that people could attach to bicycles in 1952, to two examples of the CB92 Benly Super Sport that showed how fast and how good a 125cc bike could be, to the first Fireblade that dropped in 1992 - our CBR 900RR, to the original Honda Dream. Honda says it could be one of the finest collections outside the company's museum in Japan. You can watch Silver tell his story in the video above, and there's more on what's he'll have in an article in Honda's Dream magazine.

Sunday Drive: And now for something completely different

Sun, Dec 17 2017

This past week played host to a wide assortment of automotive news, highlighted by our first drive of the 2018 Volvo XC40. The Swedish crossover is targeted at young, successful Millennials, but it offers cool styling, fun dynamics, and all of today's must-have technology, so we think it ought to appeal to a much wider swath of the automotive marketplace. From there we answer the question, "What are hard on the outside and soft on the inside?" as we take a look at the next Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. We expect the German automaker's flagship luxury SUV to remain boxy on the outside, but the interior is going to be soft, supple, and luxurious. And then there's the Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid, which starts at starts at $34,290 and boasts 212 total system horsepower, 232 pound-feet of torque, 47 miles of electric driving range, and a total range of 340 miles. EPA rates it at 110 MPGe in EV mode, and 44 city/40 highway/42 combined overall. We compare it to other plug-ins like the Chevy Volt and Toyota Prius Prime. And finally we have some more spy photos of the 2019 Ram 1500. It doesn't have a traditional crosshair grille, but it's got plenty of chrome and an attractive upright stance that's sure to tempt future truck buyers looking for some sophistication to go with their work gloves. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week to see all the automotive news that's fit to print. 2018 Volvo XC40 First Drive Review | The Masspirational crossover Mercedes-Benz G-Class gets the luxe, high-tech treatment 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid Review | It's what's on the inside that counts 2019 Ram 1500 shows chrome grille and more production parts Green Honda Mercedes-Benz RAM Volvo Technology Truck Crossover SUV Luxury Performance Sedan volvo xc40 sunday drive
