We had to swap some hard to find Mustang parts and a wad of cash, but we got the deal done on this very neat old Ford. The only problem is; unlike most of our local semi-arid vehicles, this one was out of Denver and has some normal rust. Unlike most people; we are protecting our 100% feedback by showing you all the bad we found, along with the good. There is a lot of good. This is the 300 horse 390. We are told they checked the numbers when they put the $2,533 in parts in the car. At that time it got a full engine rebuild, new brakes, tires, new exhaust, and a full engine compartment detail including correct decals. Car starts, runs, and drives as you would expect the end result of a correct job. Engine is quiet and very strong. Carb functions correctly and the non-power brakes stop fine. This car has the correct 500 XL pieces inside and out, including buckets and console with shift. This is a good straight start, but will need the $3,500 interior kit, rear quarters, passenger front floor, and other misc. rust repairs, but it is 99% there and nice trim and hubcaps on a pretty darn straight body. Windshield has a crack up through the middle and the top and boot are in fair to good condition. It is missing the XL emblem on right front fender and we only have half of the letters for the trunk. We have seen much worse than this bring a lot of money because they totally misrepresented the car. We would rather take less and have you get what you thought you were buying. The car is fun to drive and presents itself well as it is. Do a total restoration or slowly bring it back to new. Either way these are $30-45,000 units when finished. It is rare and '63's are fine looking cars. Car is stored inside and there is not a great hurry in picking it up. Insure it when you buy it. We do not charge extra to help load. If car goes over a month for pickup, it might get moved outside. Thanks for looking. $500 down is due within 48 hours of auction end unless prior arrangements have been made. Remainder is cashiers check or bank wire or? within 7 days. We will work with you. Allow cashiers checks 2 weeks to clear our bank. Add $100 to end of auction price to help pay for Ebay and Paypal charges. If you have under 5 feedback contact us before you bid, or your bid will be cancelled. This is NO RESERVE!! Every bid counts, so don't play here. We have a bored county attorney. We ship worldwide to confirmed addresses. As for us: We are Dodson Motors, Inc. at 219 N. Pennsylvania Ave., PO Box 206, in Venango, Nebraska 69168.

2015 Ford Mustang GT [w/video]
Fri, 19 Sep 2014At 50 years old, the object of fantasies, a tuner's dream, a movie star and more than nine million strong, it couldn't be truer to say that the Ford Mustang needs no introduction. This newest Mustang, however - making the biggest changes we've seen to the pony car since perhaps 1964.5 - is something Ford has been introducing all year.
We went on a Deep Dive, covered the way it looks when it was revealed, detailed the engine specs, got a ride in the EcoBoost and listened to the V8, got rolling footage and watched it do a standard-feature burnout.
The only thing left to do? Drive it. Having now done so for a few hours around Los Angeles, what we can tell you is to forget everything you know about the Mustang. This new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment.
Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.
2015 Ford Mustang to make world debut on Dec. 5 [w/video]
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.
