1965 Ford Mustang on 2040-cars
Canyon, Texas, United States
I am always available by mail at: carmelmangieri@juno.com .
You are looking at an exceptional, very special car. It is listed in the official K Code Registry. Here is my
story. In the fall of 1964, I was 18 years old and I purchased my first new car from Gene Hamon Ford Dealership in
Texas City, Texas. I special ordered the 289 High Performance model with 4 speed transmission. I became the proud
owner of the only K code, hipo Mustang in Galveston County. There are so many memories wrapped up in my car, it is
one of the hardest decisions I have ever made to now offer it for sale. I was 18 years old when I bought it and now
I am close to my 70th birthday.
If you know Mustang history, and I hope you do, you will appreciate the special place an original K Code car holds
in the 50 year history of Mustangs. Of all the Million plus Mustangs produced during the first generation 1965-67,
less than 1% were the high performance model. It came with the Special 289/271 horse, 4 barrel carb, solid lifter
engine.This the the engine Carroll Shelby used in creating the first racing Shelby Mustangs and the Cobras. When I
ordered it, in addition to the High Performance engine, in 1965 it only came with a 4 speed transmission, the
famous 9 inch Ford rear end, Mine has the 3.89:1 gear ratio. You could not get AC, power steering, windows,
brakes. It only came with a radio and heater. That was all I needed.
This car has no rust whatsoever. I went through a long slow process of restoration which was completed in 2009.
Since that time, It only gets out of the garage for an occasional car show or Mustang Club events. I have won my
class numerous times in judged shows.
The car is painted in its original color, which is also a very rare Phoenician Yellow as it came from factory, I
installed Tri-Y headers, a Hurst 4 speed shifter and added the new rims within the last 2 years, other than that,
she is a stock K Code.even down to the mechanical choke on the 4100 autolite 1:12 four barrel carb.
I know what my car is, I know what it's value is in the collector car market. You can look for a long time and will
not find a K code with this history. I only know of 2 other original 65 Mustang owners and neither one has a K
code.

Ford previews new C-Max ahead of upcoming debut
Mon, 15 Sep 2014Looking at a Ford Focus? These days you can get it as a five-door hatch, a four-door sedan, or... that's all. European buyers don't even get our sedan, but they do get a wagon. And while the three-door hatch, two-door coupe and two-door cabrio have long since ended production, buyers around the world can also get the company's larger C-Max. And now, like the Focus upon which it's based, Ford is preparing to roll out a new version.
The tall wagon (or small minivan, depending on your perspective) is being treated to what Ford says is "an extreme makeover." Details to accompany the teaser image above remain few and far between, but following the spy shots we recently posted, it looks destined for some of the same visual updates as Ford rolled out on the 2015 Focus, with "even more refinement, practicality and technology."
Like the Mercedes B-Class, which is only available Stateside as an EV, American buyers can only get the C-Max in electrified form, either as the C-Max Hybrid or C-Max Energi. Overseas buyers, however, will be able to choose from a range of powertrain options and two wheelbase lengths - the longer of which boasts seven seats and the Grand C-Max name. (Remember when Chrysler did the same with its minivans?) Both are set to debut on September 17, so watch this space. After that, we'll expect to see it on display at the Paris Motor Show.
Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
2013 Ford F-150 Limited
Mon, 28 Jan 2013The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.
