Up for bids is this 1966 ford mustang coupe. This is a great project for someone wanting to build a mustang and does not want to start with just a body or one that is not running. This is a running 66 coupe that basically needs a cosmetic restoration. The drivetrain in this car is pretty hot. It has a 289 with a c-4 green dot automatic transmission. The motor is not stock. It has a cam in it. It has a good sounding exhaust system. It has a aluminum intake. It has a remanufactured 650 edelbrock 4 barrel carburator. It has headers. From what I was told it has a positive trac rear end in it. I think it has gears in the rear end to but not sure what size. This car will get it. It has a special built brace across the shock towers and some bracing and traction bars under the leaf springs. This is one of those cars when you pull up to the red light you will turn heads either sitting still or taking off because it will go. This car sat up for about 10 years before I got it. I had to get another carburator, put some different tires on it because the old ones were dry rotted beyond use. I had to put another gas tank in it and clean the whole fuel system out. As far as mechanically The motor and transmission seem to be real good. The brakes work and it stops good but I am sure the brakes would need a little fine tunning. Mechanically this car would need little work. The tires are to big so it would need smaller tires on the front before it could be driven much. They are to wide and rub the fenders when you turn it. The glass is good in the car. As for the body this is where the major work will need to be done on the car. I am including a pair of doors, a front passenger side fender, and a hood in the auction that I took pics of that would be easy to do a little work to and just swap out the body panels or the ones on it could be fixed but it is just quicker and cheaper to unbolt parts and put other ones on. The main thing that will have to be cut out and welded in is the floor pans. It will need floor pans. The frame sections are all good on it. The roof and trunk lid are good. The hood is good but when you let one sit up for a length of time the hood hinges will want to seize up and are hard to pull down unless you oil them so when someone pulled down on it they bent it a little on the drivers side. It could be fixed but I am including a extra hood anyway incase you just want to change it out. The doors are shot. The drivers door is trash. There is not fixing it. The passenger side is rusted underneath where you can't see so it could be fixed or changed out that will be up to you. The front passenger fender is the same way. It is rusted at the bottom and can be fixed or changed out. The rear quarters will need a little work but are fixable. Unless you find a car that sat in a garage or in a barn all these years you are going to have a hard time finding a rust free car. These are typical rust places for a 66 mustang. The interior is all there just needs restoring. The kit is pretty cheap to do this. I have a cd player that I will let go with it as well. I have a clear title to it. I also have a rear bumper for it. I don't think I took a pic of it. This would make a good project or a father son project. This is one of those cars you can drive and work on it a little along. I live in Jonesboro Louisiana and the car will have to be picked up here. I will require full payment be made within seven days of the end of auction. If you are a serious buyer and want to talk to me and ask questions email me or call me at 318-278-1069. The car runs and drives fine but due to the tires and brakes needing a little work I would recommend bringing a trailer. Again if you are in question about something or need more pics just let me know. Also please it cost money and time to list these auctions so be sure you are 100% sure you want it before you bid.

Detroit 3 and UAW set for showdown over tiered wages
Mon, Mar 23 2015This week, thousands of United Auto Workers will converge on Cobo Center in Detroit for the Special Convention on Collective Bargaining, an every-four-year event that lets members tell UAW leaders what the negotiating priorities should be during contract negotiations. This is where a lot of sand and a lot of lines start coming together in preparation for contract negotiations between the UAW and the Detroit 3 automakers, which will happen later this year. Number one on the UAW agenda is the end of the two-tier wage system created in 2007 to help the automakers get through bankruptcy; veteran workers are paid the Tier 1 rate of around $29.00 per hour, new hires are paid the Tier 2 rate of between $15 and $20 and get about half the benefits of Tier 1. Tier 2 hiring has been an undoubted success for the automakers, allowing them to keep factories in the US and hire more workers. By agreement, it is capped at a certain percentage of each automaker's workforce, and while the union's ultimate position is to get rid of the dual-scale system entirely; one leader said Ford could easily afford the $335 million it would take to convert all its workers to Tier 1 out of its $6.9 billion in 2014 North American profit, and General Motors could do the same out of the $5 billion it is handing to investors through the (admittedly forced) share buyback. Other delegates say that at the very least they'd be happy with enforcement of the current caps in the new contract. The automakers, conversely, would welcome expansion of the Tier 2 ranks. Including benefits, import automakers pay workers "in the high $40 range" per hour, according to an analyst, while Ford and GM pay about $59 in wages and benefits per hour. More Tier 2 workers on the rolls would let those two companies get labor cost parity with the competition. Fiat-Chrysler pays wages closer to the imports because of special exceptions in its UAW contract that allow unlimited Tier 2 hiring; those exceptions will end on September 14 and bring FCA into line with the other domestics, unless the new contract maintains them. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne is opposed to the two-tier system, having called it "almost offensive." One analyst says the UAW might win a sizable pay raise for Tier 2 and a small increase for Tier 1, but the keystone issue will be how the hiring matrix can help the automakers keep overall wages in line with the imports.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year
Mon, Nov 9 2015With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

"With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love."

Ford going bonkers at SEMA with 57 showcars
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Ford always shows up in force at the SEMA Show, but this year's tally of 57 custom-tuned cars, trucks and vans is more than we can ever recall the Blue Oval bringing. Ford will introduce 28 of its project vehicles in its "Dreamcase" ahead of next month's show. The first batch of eight you'll find here with the remaining vehicles trickling into public view over the next couple of weeks.
This first group of cars includes a Fiesta, four Fiesta ST hatchbacks and a trio of Mustang show cars styled and tuned to varying degrees all by different aftermarket companies. Tanner Foust, Nitto Tire, 3dCarbon and Ice Nine Group are some of the more familiar names affixed to these cars. Our favorite so far is the Hollywood Hot Rods Mustang convertible (shown above) with its removable aluminum top and methanol-injected, 750-horsepower 5.0-liter V8.
Scroll down for all the details on these Fiestas and Mustangs, and stay tuned for more info on Ford's SEMA line, which will include custom versions of the Focus ST, Fusion, Transit Connect, F-150 and Super Duty.
