'67 Mustang Coupe 302 Project Car
I purchased this Mustang last October, and had it shipped from California. I have worked on cars all my life, and was looking forward to restoring this basically solid car, but my personal circumstances have changed, and I need to sell. This car needs a lot of work, but it is a nice starting point for a rewarding project. It is just what I was looking for. I'll start with a brief overview description, then go on to some further details. Please contact me if you have any questions, and I'll be glad to answer them. I have a reasonable reserve, and if this is what you are looking for, you should get a nice price. This is not a rot box, like some of these cars I have seen from the north and east of the U.S. It is a basically solid foundation for a fun project.
The car has sat for most of the last ten years, as far as I can tell. Someone started to take it apart, and never finished. I got the car running last fall. I changed the oil and antifreeze, replaced the gas filter, and put a new battery in it. I was able to run the car to full warm-up, and it sounded great. There was no blue tailpipe smoke, and the engine sounded strong. This spring, I can't get fuel to the carb. The new fuel pump that the previous owner put in may be bad, or something may be blocking the fuel line. In any case, it won't run, and it's because the fuel is not reaching the carb. I don't have time to investigate further. I ran the car for the video by putting gas directly in the carb. This is gas for my leafblower, so it has oil in it. This, and the fact the carb bowl is not full, accounts for the smoke you see in the video, but I wanted you to hear the car run. Please see the video on YouTube on my channel: JJMcKinnon1 http://www.youtube.com/user/JJMcKinnon1
The transmission makes a scary rotational noise sometimes when in gear, the fluid is not burnt. Not sure what is wrong there. For shipping purposes consider this car a "roller" that will need a winch or something to get loaded on the truck or trailer. I will ship with the battery disconnected.
I was told by the previous owner that the motor is a 302, and transmission an FMX automatic. The car was originally a 289 2v with 3 speed manual. The motor has an Edelbrock "Performance 289" intake, Weber/Edelbrock 4v Carb (8867), and headers with full and intact dual exhaust with 3" tips. It likely has a performance cam of some sort, not sure what else. It also has a rear sway bar.
The car has the original door tag. I can give you the details if you are interested. It is a San Jose car, originally Springtime Yellow, but was painted red at least two times as far as I can tell, from nosing around. I have not been able to do anything to the car, other than getting it running the one day last Fall.
This car will need a lot of work, but the parts are readily available, and reasonably priced. I include some nice Mustang books as pictured. I include a shop manual, and wiring diagram to aid you on your project. Thanks for looking. Email me with any questions, and then we can talk on the phone as well if you would rather, for more details.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.
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.
