1965 Ford Mustang A Code Engine No Reserve on 2040-cars
Madison, Wisconsin, United States
1965 RED Ford Mustang Convertible, 289 V8 Engine Code A, 4 Speed Top Loader, 4 Piston Caliper brakes, and Power
top.
Not only does this Mustang have a V8 289, It is a "A CODE" Engine. Which had 50 more horsepower than the regular 289. Backed with a 4 speed Manual Top loader Trans. It comes with Rally Pac Gauges. You can stop all these Ponies with 4 piston caliper brakes, Which was a
factory upgrade on this vehicle. Back in 1965 they only made 5,338 body code 76B, Which was a convertible with
Luxury Interior. To get this engine/ Trans/ Brake/ Gauge setup..
The interior is done in a beautiful RED which was the original trim code color. It was restored many years ago with
new carpet, dash pad, Front and Rear seat covers, and Door panels. Which are all in great condition, and might show
just some minor wear.
Paint work for the interior is very nice. But, shows some small flaws. The original A.M. Radio appears to work
good, along with the speakers. Speedometer gauge works good, along with the temp gauge, and tachometer. Fuel gage
seems to be intermitted, and is probably nothing more than a simple sensor. The sensor is an easy fix, and the
clock does not work. But, who needs to know the time while driving this beautiful machine..
The oil and alternator indicator lights work as they should. The 2 speed power wipers work on both speeds, along
with the cigarette lighter. The heater and controls appear to work as they should. Moving between the vents and
moving from hot to cold, and the blower seems to work on all speeds. It has good heat. There is a owners manual
located in glove box.
The power top works great up and down, The motor appears to be strong, Sounds healthy while running and the
Hydraulics do not leak. Top was replace a long time ago, with a new rear window replaced recently. The rear window
is clear to see through as you can see in the pictures. The fabric for the top seems to be in great shape! Still is
a brilliant bright white color. Frame appears to be in good shape.. I have moved the top up and down a few times
and it appears to work great, and lines up nicely to the window, and locks in place nicely.
Windows roll up and down well, and appear to be in good shape and clean. I didn't notice any cracks and are
believed to be the original glass. Both doors open and close like a dream, and the door locks work on both doors.
Lock Cylinders work with the keys as well. The trunk and hood both open and close with no issues. Including the
lock cylinder in the trunk. The trunk is equipped with a trunk mat, a spare tire, and matching cover, and matching
tool pouch. The dash shows 25,510 miles on it. it is unknown if these are the actual mileage. There is a
possibility the it has rolled over once before. There are 4 seat belts in the car to make sure you and your family
are safe on those nights to the drive in theater.
The tires have a lot of tread on them and have awesome white walls to compliment the beautiful red paint job. The
tires are old but are holding air like new. The car will look great rolling down the street, and would make anyone
proud to own it. You can drive it as is, or you can restore it to tip top shape if you'd like. But either way..
You will be the envy of the neighborhood. The rims are in good shape, and have what appear to be the original
stainless Mustang hub caps with iconic spinners. All hub caps look like they are in good condition, and are not
missing.
This stunning mustang is equipped with manual brakes and factory 4 piston calipers up front. The pads and rotors
appear to be in good working condition. But would recommend having the vehicle looked over by a professional, as
the car has been sitting in a garage for many years. The rear brakes are drum brakes, and appear to be working as
they should. The brake petal feels firm, and stopped the vehicle nicely. I have not used the parking brake. I just
put it in gear when I park. I am unsure how well it works.
The steering and suspension appear to be good. I only drove the car for a short time around a few blocks. But, the
steering was smooth. I did not notice any noise, and it felt tight. Steering appeared to work as it should, and
returned nicely after turns, which made me believe the alignment is good.

2016 Ford Explorer configurator reveals $30,700* base price, Platinum starts at $52,600*
Wed, Nov 26 2014The a la carte menu for the 2016 Ford Explorer is ready for your... umm... exploring. The first page of the refreshed model's configurator reveals the lineup, including the new Platinum trim, and price increases for three of the carryover models. The base Explorer doesn't change by one red cent: it can still be had for $30,700. The XLT needs $33,400 (a $400 price bump), the Limited goes for $41,300 (a not insignificant $2,900 price increase), and the Sport requires $43,300 (a $200 increase). That new Platinum model goes where no Explorer MSRP has gone before, beginning at $52,600 (*all prices are subject to an $895 destination charge). However, since Ford has put almost everything in it, you can't jack the price up too much further unless you lose your mind in the accessories catalog. You can quickly head that way lower down the order, though. The Limited's price jump appears to be due to the voice-activated navigation system, which comes standard; it was formerly part of a $2,600 option package. The Limited goes up by just $995 when specced with the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost, which raises the power over the 2.0-liter EcoBoost it replaces to 270 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, but doesn't incur any fuel economy penalty. All-wheel drive tacks on another $2,000, safety features like active park assist and lane departure warning come as part of $3,000 Equipment Group A, and you'll still have another three pages of options to get through. On the other hand, if you just want to get your family bundle into an Explorer without spending a bundle, the base model doesn't offer any packages and only has one option over $200. Let the research begin.

Ford profits soar as problems mount
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."
