1965 - Ford Mustang on 2040-cars
Kissimmee, Florida, United States
Up for sale is a beautiful 1965 Mustang with removable fastback roof. You will be the talk of the town and the center of attention at car shows. The body is very solid with no signs of any accidents over the years. The front aprons are original and also have never been damaged. Every single item in the front suspension is new, it has new shocks, springs(two sets) , upper and lower control arms, pitman arm, idler arm and center drag link. I had the spindles, strut arms and cross member professionally sand blasted and powder coated. I upgraded the sway bar from the original 11/16" to a 1-1/8" powder coated bar. T he floors were replaced in the past as well. The paint is fresh base coat Classic White/Sonic Blue stripes, the clear coat has been cut and buffed to a beautiful shine. The interior carpet, seats, seatbelts, B&M Shifter, dash pad, door panels, gauge bezels and steering wheel are all new. The engine is a super strong 289 CID V-8 with many upgrades including a 4 Barrel Holley Carburetor and throaty sounding dual exhaust. This car starts with the flick of a key and really moves! Most of the chrome and stainless is new or in very good shape. 17" Riddler wheels with new Sumitomo low profile tires, (front - 215/45 R17 & rear - 225/45 R17). a Custom Autosound USA-66 deck was also installed. It looks very close to the original but has more current circuitry with CD changer capabilities, AUX input and station pre-sets. I installed a pair of Infinity Kappa 6x9s in the rear and a Retrosound R410N 4x10 in the dash. I mounted a 4 channel amplifier in the trunk to power the higher quality speakers. Invested around $700 total in the stereo. Feel free to come and visit and take it for a spin, it won't disappoint. Here are some common questions I get about the removable top:· How is the roof attached? Is the roof water-tight? The roof weighs approx. 75 pounds and can be removed in less than 2 minutes. The top is secured by two bolts in the front and two wing nuts in the rear. There is a metal header attached to the roof. On this metal header, there are two tinnerman nuts (mustang fender nut clips) - the two bolts go thru the mustang convertible sun visor bracket dowel pin guide hole and thread into the tinnerman nuts, The fiberglass roof (up front) has a gasket that sits on the windshield stainless steel trim.

Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.
Ford fights back against patent trolls
Fri, Feb 13 2015Some people are just awful. Some organizations are just as awful. And when those people join those organizations, we get stories like this one, where Ford has spent the past several years combatting so-called patent trolls. According to Automotive News, these malicious organizations have filed over a dozen lawsuits against the company since 2012. They work by purchasing patents, only to later accuse companies of misusing intellectual property, despite the fact that the so-called patent assertion companies never actually, you know, do anything with said intellectual property. AN reports that both Hyundai and Toyota have been victimized by these companies, with the former forced to pay $11.5 million to a company called Clear With Computers. Toyota, meanwhile, settled with Paice LLC, over its hybrid tech. The world's largest automaker agreed to pay $5 million, on top of $98 for every hybrid it sold (if the terms of the deal included each of the roughly 1.5 million hybrids Toyota sold since 2000, the company would have owed $147 million). Including the previous couple of examples, AN reports 107 suits were filed against automakers last year alone. But Ford is taking action to prevent further troubles... kind of. The company has signed on with a firm called RPX, in what sounds strangely like a protection racket. Automakers like Ford pay RPX around $1.5 million each year for access to its catalog of patents, which it spent nearly $1 billion building. "We take the protection and licensing of patented innovations very seriously," Ford told AN via email. "And as many smart businesses are doing, we are taking proactive steps to protect against those seeking patent infringement litigation." What are your thoughts on this? Should this patent business be better managed? Is it reasonable that companies purchase patents only to file suit against the companies that build actual products? Have your say in Comments.
