Listing my 65 Bird for auction as I have decided to sell my Birds and get a different toy. I have owned this car for the past dozen years or so and it has been in my family for probably the last 20. Between me and my family we have had over 40 Birds but this is the one that stuck around always. It has been very well taken care of and when I lived in Florida I drove it all the time but since Ive been in NY it is only driven sparingly on short trips and for its yearly state inspection. When the car was restored all the exterior chrome was redone or replaced so in the sun it shines like brand new. During the restoration of the car some of the a/c components were removed and who knows where they ended up, over the years I have purchased the lower bracket , the 2 mounting struts, and I have found most of the hardware for re-install. Quite a few years ago I was able to purchase the Eminger invoice for the car and I have numerous manuals also. This car has the correct factory option vac trunk release, power windows, power antenna, correct 65 am/fm radio (originally was am only car), power door locks, cruise control( bellows need replaced for certain) and dual power seats. I have also located a correct original reclining seat back with headrest that can go with the car if wanted(needs recovered). This car originally had the standard hubcaps(which I still have) but now has the deluxe upgrade hubcaps on it. There has been a ton spent on this car over the years but if you are looking for a excellent example of a 65 Bird then this would be it. I am listing it with a reserve and depending on where this ends I might look at high bid at the end if not met. The car is in my garage in NY and if you are figuring transport costs I am approx. 50 miles from Erie PA and 85 miles from Buffalo NY. If pick-up arrangements need to be made car can sit covered in my garage for no charge till picked up but car will not leave till payment is complete. Check my other auctions as well if your looking to start a collection as I have a 83 listed and will be listing a 80 Silver Anniversary car shortly. If you have any questions just ask and I will get back with you as quick as I can. I am looking at getting a Corvette so I really don't need any trades unless it is one.

2015 Roush Mustang lineup officially revealed
Thu, 02 Oct 2014
Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."
Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."
Rare Ford Mustang ASC McLaren is a piece of '80s history
Wed, Jun 1 2016You can't blame the dealer for advertising this oddball convertible as a "Ford Mustang McLaren." The name certainly rolls off the tongue better than "Ford Mustang ASC McLaren," and it makes the car sound a whole lot more appealing. However, without the 'ASC' in there, you don't get the full picture. And when it comes to the world of strange automotive collaborations—particularly those of the 80s—you most definitely want the full picture. ASC McLaren Mustangs were the result of fortuitous timing, and a project that was already underway between the American Sunroof Company and McLaren (no, not that McLaren). Detroit custom car builder Peter Muscat brought the idea of a Mustang with a tonneau cover to ASC after chopping the top off a Fox body on his own, and in turn ASC founder Heinz Pretcher brought the concept to Ford. Big blue was already in the midst of relaunching a Mustang convertible, which had been absent from the lineup for 10 years, so initially it was the Mercury Capri that got the ASC/McLaren treatment. The result was a car that was more expensive than a Mustang GT, and coupled with declining sales of the Capri overall, the car was discontinued in 1986, paving the way for the ASC McLaren Mustang you see here on eBay. With the change over to the Mustang as their platform for modification in 1987, ASC McLaren were given the opportunity to create something notable. Customizing the Capri was one thing, but the Mustang name carries with it iconic status. So what did ASC McLaren do with their chance to leave their mark on automotive history? They gave the car some visual modifications, both inside and out, but like the Capri, left the powertrain untouched. Also like the Capri, the cars still ended up costing more than $20,000. Between the high price, the economic woes of the late 80s, and disputes between Muscat and Pretcher, the ASC McLaren Mustangs were no more by 1990. During the three year run, 1,806 ASC McLaren conversions were completed, making them quite rare, especially low mileage examples like this one. The 5.0 V8s are known for being stout engines, capable of handling serious modification, and logging lots of miles, so there are no concerns there. The 5-speed Borg-Warner transmission that came in all Mustang GTs is also known for being a durable unit, the '87-'90 versions especially so. The main concern here would be the life the car has lived, and more importantly where it has lived.
