VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): 5F09C362312
Year: 1965
Make: Ford
Drive Type: 3 Speed
Model: Mustang
Mileage: 121,863
Trim: Fastback 2+2

The former owner of this 1965 2+2 fastback had intended on restoring it. He finely came to the conclusion that it will not happen. He sold the car to me with the understanding that I would be reselling it to someone who would want to restore it. The car has been outside in the elements for many years. I removed the front brake shoes and rear brake drums so the car could be rolled.

The drivers door has been change at some point and the original door tag is gone. The following is what I could find:

5: 1965

Assembly Code: "F" Dearborn, Michigan

Body Code: "09" Fastback 2+2

Engine Code: "C" 289 2v

Sequential Unit Number: 362312

Date: Estimated to be built mid December 1964

Exterior Color: Midnight or Twilight Turquoise

Interior Color: "D6" White With Black Trim

Axle: Tag is missing, but ratio seems to be 2.80-Open

Transmission: ID Tag Code "HEH-BK"-- 3 Speed

**Additional options include: A/C, Console, Styled Steel Wheels and Visibility Group.

The motor has an ID tag on the intake with a 1967 date so I believe the motor is not original. The motor is not set, but must have some rust on the top of some of the cylinders as I can turn the motor over by hand about 180 degrees. The engine is missing the a/c pump & brackets and the carburetor is frozen.

The front frame rails will need to be repaired from the shock towers forward which includes the strut rod supports. The front rails also need repair at the joint where the rail meets the floor. The top of the engine bay looks very good. The battery tray area needs a repair. The drivers shock tower has some rot through at the very bottom. The floors were poorly replace once and have rusted out again. I am sure the cowl is rotted out too. The floor under the rear seat is rusted and will need to be repaired. The rear frame rails have rusted through at the torque boxes and at the front leaf spring eyes. The trunk floors are rusted and the rear frame rails will need new rear extensions. There is rust in the door jams in the latch catch pin panel. There is also some rust through at the front base of the drip rail on the passengers side. With all of the replacement sheet metal available now it may be quicker and safer to replace entire sections of the frames and floors.

The interior needs to be completely redone, but is mostly complete. The front seats, rear seat bottom and door panels do not appear to be the originals to the car. The dash was cut for an aftermarket radio-am/fm/8 track.

The exterior will need a hood, trunk lid, fenders, doors, quarters and valances. The roof skin and taillight panel may be save-able, but they are both questionable. The glass is all intact, but the windshield will need to be replaced. The stainless trim is all intact, but has a fair amount of dings in the rear moldings.

This car looks to have been last registered in 1983 and it was not by the former owner. There is no title or registration with this car. Ebay requires me to list the type of title that accompanies this car so I listed it as salvage. Some states only require a bill of sale to register a car of this age while others require a registration or title. I will provide a bill of sale only with the sale of this car. You will be responsible for any other paper work that is needed to register this car in your state.

This car is being sold as is where is with no warranty expressed or implied. A $500.00 deposit must be received within 48 hours from end of sale or I reserve the right to sell to another bidder or re-list it. The Balance must be paid within 7 days in the form of a cashier's check or cash. Checks will have to clear my bank before the car will be released-NO EXCEPTIONS. The sale is final and is not open to negotiations after the sale. I can store the car for up to 30 days after the sale while transportation is arranged.

I have given a fair and honest description of the car, but my opinions of condition may vary from someone else's. Please look at all of the pictures carefully and ask questions if you need more information. The car can be viewed by appointment only and I will not discuss a cash sale. I will not disclose the reserve and I will NOT end the auction early for a cash offer. This keeps the auction real and open to all. Thanks Ken

Ford builds USAF Thunderbirds Edition Mustang for charity

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Each year since 2008, Ford has created a one-off Mustang to celebrate military aviation, and the cars have been auctioned off at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles charity event to raise money to inspire the next generation of aviators. This year's charity car is the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, which also helps celebrate 60 years of Thunderbirds air show excellence.
Of all the EAA charity cars, this Thunderbirds Edition is the most in depth. Painted to match the F-16 Tomcat fighter jets used by Thunderbirds, this Mustang also gets a widebody kit and 22-inch Forgiato wheels to go with the cockpit's Recaro bucket seats, rear-seat delete and modified navigation screen and gauge cluster. Even the Mustang's projector puddle lights have been changed to show an aircraft silhouette - rather than the Mustang's galloping horse logo - when the doors are open.
Themes for previous EAA charity cars include the Blue Angels, SR-71 Blackbird and the Red Tails as well as the F-22 Raptor-inspired AV8R and AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" models. Scroll down for the press release for the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, and be sure to check out our galleries for all six aviation-themed Mustangs.

Ford is going to begin the celebrations at this week's New York Auto Show and continue them throughout the year, but April 17 is the official birthday of the the pony car that just won't quit. You can expect to start seeing anniversary merchandise in the next couple of weeks.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
