This car belonged to my Father who I bought it new in 1965. It was always garage kept its entire life and only driven in good weather to parades and special events and occasionally on Sundays.It has 59,231 origional miles on it. It was in perfect running condition when last used in 1982 which was the last time it was inspected in Pennsylvania. He was the only one to drive it and he always babied it. He had the repair manual and always maintained it properly. As far as I remember only the mufflers were replaced at Midas at one time with a Life Time Guarantee. The only thing I did when I removed it from his garage was to clean it off, change the oil and filter. The gas tank had to be cleaned out completly from sitting so long and to get it to run properly. I cleaned the carburator and plugs. The car runs and drives properly now. It has an automatic transmission. 430 V8 engine with air conditioning, clock, 6 way power seats, power steering (steers with one finger) Power brakes, Power windows and vent windows.Padded instrument panel with NO cracks or tears. Remote mirror, Origional Radio and retractable power antenna. The tires are bias from the 80s and need replacing but still stay up. There is NO rot anywhere on the car and it is solid. It has NEVER been in an accident. The chrome is very good and not pitted. There are only several small dents and one in the left rear bumperette. The top is extremely good and has no tears or discoloration. The Leather Seats are in excellent condition and are Not cracked or dried out. I have NOT attempted to drive it very much but the grounds and seals would have to be checked as expected from a car that has sit that long in storage. I do know everything worked when it was origionally parked. This would be a Great car to Restore or use everyday with a good going over. He also had the exact same 1965 LIndoln Continental Hard Top that he had the rocker panels welded in (NO bondo didnt beleive in it) and repainted a sort or cream color. He planned to have the convertible repainted to match and use in weddings for the bride and the hard top for the family. I intend to list the hard top as soon as I can get it running. It was storred in the same garage with the convertible. I have not checked it out completly. I can be reached at (570) 825-7789 between 6 and 8pm Eastern standard time ONLY for anyone who would like to set up an appointment to see it or needs additional information. Please ask for Herb. Thank You for looking. Have a Great Day.

The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different

Fri, May 8 2020

The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.
