Available is a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. It needs to be restored, but it's all there, including the original keys. All the FB interior pieces, fold down rear seat. All the glass and stainless is good, the doors close tight, the windows roll up and down good. The dash pad is original and nice for it's age. The original AM radio is still in place. The lights, wipers and heater blower all work. The entire interior is original...tired, but original (good headliner)! The trunk lid and hood don't have any rust. There is a dent in the passenger door in the center by the door fender gap.
It's a C Code with the original 289. Everything under the hood is original except the 4bbl and aluminum intake. The Mustang runs and drives good, it's quick. The brakes pull a little to the right. The manifold on the driver's side is cracked so there is an exhaust leak. It starts right up, doesn't seem to leak or burn any oil. The transmission shifts good, even the light works on the indicator. It has a decent set of magnums. The floors and rockers are in good condition. The rear quarter are rusted, so are the rear drop offs, torque boxes and front frame rails. The bottoms of the front quarters have some rust lower by the rocker trim. They are okay for a driver, but will need to be worked or replaced if the car gets the restoration it deserves. Every body panel appears to be original. The best I can tell it's only been repainted once. Comes with new pair of front frame rails, and a new left repop quarter skin, and a bag of misc parts.
The reason I bought it is because it's a Red fastback with matching fender stamp, door tag, and title...and it's all there!!! There really isn't anything in this price range. It's the cheapest running FB on Ebay. Almost everything is restored and expen$ive, or it's a non running project, a turd, or coupe conversion. It's a running-driving vehicle you can play with and work on at the same time. I'm sorry the pictures suck, it was getting dark and a front was blowing in.
Ask questions before you bid. All questions will be answered. Sold as is with no warranty. It has a clear title. No or negative feedback bidders will be retracted. I reserve the right to end the auction early because I plan to list locally as well. Send me your number if you want to talk. Thanks. Also, I had to relist because someone hit the buy it now an hour after I listed it.

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
Ford Fusion demand outstripping supply
Sat, 15 Jun 2013The attractive new 2013 Ford Fusion has done wonders for the brand in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment - the vehicle is up nearly 22 percent compared to last year. But that sales momentum may soon hold steady due to low inventory levels of the new Fusion across the United States.
According to a report in The Detroit News, citing automotive data and Ward's Auto, Ford currently has a 39-day supply of the Fusion. That might sound fine, but a normally healthy average is about a 60-day supply. If Ford were to stop production on the Fusion today, there would only be enough vehicles available to get through another five weeks of sales, according to the News.
Currently, Ford produces the Fusion at its three-shift assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, and will add production at its facility in Flat Rock, MI later this year. A Ford spokesperson told The Detroit News that when Flat Rock production comes online, the automaker will need to rush new stock out to the regions with the most demand for the Fusion. Ford has doubled its coastal retail market share, with huge amounts of growth in areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, the News reports.
Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
