Great Foundation for your next Project - Classic Cruiser with super straight and clean original body.
The car is now a roller but I have the original C5AE block, crank, pistons and rods. Engine is presently unassembled and
will need rebuilding. The body only has 34,330 original miles and the condition of the body shows this. Every panel is
lazer straight and I could only find 3 areas with rust. One small area in trunk lip under rubber seal, front of trunk pan, and small
area in passenger floorpan. The rest of the body and structure are amazingly solid and original. Radiator support excellent as well
as all framerails. Radiator and shroud included - radiator may need to be repaired. Tires are brand new whitewall radials with
all 4 hubcaps in excellent condition.
The interior is possibly this car's best attribute. The stainless is in great shape, headliner nice, bucklet seats good the driver seat will need a little repair.
We spent many hours on the electrical and the following function work: Radio, Heater, power antenae, hi and low beams, window washer pump, dome lights,
courtesy lights, brake lights, sequential turn signals, power windows will work with some tinkering, dash rheostat, hi beam indicator and even the clock works!
Rebuild the included 390 short block, source the top-end of the motor (heads, intake manifold, cam ETC not included) source an MX or C6 transmission and you will have an easy winter project that will
turn many heads in the spring! I reserve the right to end the auction at any time due to the car being for sale locally. Please ask any and all questions. Very reasonable reserve. Thank you.
T - Bird is a project that will need work, assembly, some parts, and TLC before its ready for the road. Sold as is where is with no warrantly whatsoever.
Buyer must pick up vehicle within 7 days of auction close unless previously arranged.

Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
