This is "The Car" for you if you're looking for a ready to ride classic.This was the first year of the LTD as its own car. This one is equipped with every option for '66 except front discs, but they are power. It has power windows and power steering but best of all it has air conditioning THAT STILL WORKS WITH R12! Purchased in February of 1966 from Gwaltney Motors in Smithfield Virginia by a little old lady. Garage kept till the mid 70's when my friend's grandpa bought it. He drove it and maintained it till he was unable to drive. It spent the next 12 years under a carport where I found it.

I pulled it out, got it running and went about making it a daily driver again. I found it to be in surprisingly good shape. It passed and has a current VA safety inspection.I have been driving it since June and the A/C kept me comfortable through the hottest Virginia days. It has been an attention getter and a downright pleasure to drive. I lowered it 1.5" and painted the wheels and added chrome lug nuts (I have the OEM hubcaps). I have replaced/repaired the following items; Rebuilt carb(original Holley 4150 4bbl), replaced belts and all water hoses including 11 feet of heater hose, fuel pump, power steering pressure hose, removed radiator and had pressure tested and repaired(had small leak), replaced battery and both cables, replaced alternator, installed radiator overflow bottle, replaced brake booster, master cylinder, all wheel cylinders, brake shoes, rubber hoses(drums were new from 12 yrs ago). Replaced tires with 4 new ones and a new spare tire also(has original bumper jack and lug wrench). Installed new front shocks. Replaced transmission modulator valve. Serviced rear differential and I have changed oil twice(for good measure). The radio stack and cup holder were added by me and are held in by only 3 screws(nothing's butchered). Oem radio does not work but I did not troubleshoot it, could be a simple fix. Doesn't smoke or burn oil.

Car is virtually rust free.Floor pans and all lower fenders are free of rust and no evidence of any repairs. Has a little rust in lower corners of doors(no bondo). Car was repainted in the late 70's and had some dents repaired and some repairs around rear glass. Rear glass needs repair again because it leaks at corners onto package tray and ultimatly into the trunk(trunk is SOLID), hadn't been rained on in over 12 years. Right rear quarter had taken a hit below taillight and was buckled and folded over. A friend at a bodyshop pulled the rear bumper and quarter and it's ready for a final smoothing out. I fixed the right front fender and installed a new headlight bezel/trim piece. This fender had been bent and repaired before as evidenced by the body filler that I popped out when straightning the fender.

Things that I know it needs are; Fuel gauge doesn't work(I used odometer all summer, gets 13.4 mpg), rear quarter glass have not gone down but do exhibit a current draw when switches are toggled so I feel they are just stuck. A/C, heat and defrost all work but slide control is out of sync with actual modes. Trans pan gasket leaks(tightened bolts,helped some). Front seat has been recovered and split again(OEM cover still in place, see pics) Cancun blanket not included. Needs a u-joint at transmission end of driveshaft, vibrates at 70 mph. I greased it but it has a little play in it. Trunk gasket needs replaced. Dash has a crack in center at speaker hole.

US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.

Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.
