1965 Ford Mustang Convertible with factory Air Conditioning, 49,525 original miles, 3rd owner, no rust ever!
State Auto Leasing bought this car new and leased it to Superior Package Boiler and Equipment Co. on 6/7/65.
The car was sold to James B. Strup on 10/14/68 for $900.00 (see pictures for bill of sale).
The car remained with Mr. Strup for the next 47 years (1968 - 2015). Upon Mr. Strup's passing the car was sold to
me on 10/1/2015. At that time the car had 49,450 miles and was sold to me by Mr. Strup's wife (Mary Rose Strup).
9/3/64 - 6,000 mile service at 6,200 miles
4/6/66 - 12,000 service at 15,077 miles
11/30/66 - 20,000 mile service at 26,155 miles
5/16/68 - 48,000 mile service at 45,379 miles
The car was driven less than 4,000 miles between 10/14/68 and 10/1/15!
I have the original keys, build sheet, I.D. Card, owners manual, and several receipts from the past 50 years. The
car was repainted once by Mr. Strup in the original color, silver smoke gray. It was painted by Rice's Auto
Painting in West Hepstead, N.Y. in 1977 I believe. I believe but cannot be sure as the work order does not show
the date. I think it was 1977 because I do have the receipt for a new convertible top dated 9/15/77 and it is
believed Mr. Strup had the new top put on and the car repainted at he same time. When repainted neither the engine
compartment, door jams nor trunk were repainted, they still retain their original silver smoke gray paint.
The timing chain and gas tank were replaced 10/7/09. Some of the other work that was done on the car that I do not
have receipts for are: cherry bomb mufflers, power brakes, wheels as shown (I do have the steel wheels and full
hubcaps), intake manifold and carburetor. The interior is original except for the passenger door panel which I
replaced as the original was less than perfect. The original door panel is dated 3/1/65 and will be included with
the sale. At some point the radio was replaced with an after market model, I do not have the original.
Everything on the car works as it should. The air blows cold, the power top works correctly, horn works, wipers
work, all lights and directionals work.

Ford talking unibody Ranger replacement
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Now here's some welcome news. Car and Driver reports Ford is seriously mulling a replacement for the recently deceased Ranger, but the successor to the compact pickup's throne may not look anything like what we've seen from the nameplate in the past.
While speaking at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Doug Scott, marketing manager for Ford Trucks, said there's still a market for a smaller pickup, but that buyers expect to see a larger differentiation between the smaller utility vehicles and their full size counterparts in price, capability and fuel economy.
According to Scott, that means a vehicle with a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds paired with a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and "a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption." But the biggest piece of that recipe is the price tag, and Scott says to keep the MSRP far enough away from the already cheap F-150, the answer could come in the form of a unibody design. Scott says target customers in this market don't care whether the truck has a traditional frame or not, so long as it's tough enough to do the job and has the capability they need.
Ford's Troller introduces even more rugged T4 SUVs in Sao Paulo
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Bronco may be long gone from Ford dealerships back home, but down in Brazil its spirit lives on in the Troller brand. Founded independently in 1995, Ford do Brasil took over Troller in 2007 and has been teasing us with its rough-and-tumble SUVs ever since. So with the Sao Paulo Motor Show coming up, Troller has revealed this special version of the T4.
Looking even more rugged than the existing three-door sport-ute, this special T4 packs a snorkel, winch, upgraded bumpers and knobbier tires. We're not sure what to make of the "sophisticated" brown and tan paint job, but send it north and the Jeep Wrangler would have a new challenger on its hands... especially since the Toyota FJ Cruiser was discontinued.
Alongside the version seen here, Troller will also exhibit another T4 outfitted for rescue workers. Scope out initial details of both in the press release below, enclosed in both its original Portuguese and auto-translated into English.
Ford UK exec says EVs are a good way to lose a fortune
Wed, Mar 19 2014Stateside, Ford execs are quick to point out the automaker's expansion in the plug-in sector. And despite a minimal presence in the pure EV space, the Blue Oval has been promoting its plug-in vehicles as part of an overall effort to boost fleetwide fuel economy. Too bad the company's UK chief didn't get the memo. There's "no point in us getting behind [EVs] and losing a fortune" - Ford's Mark Ovenden Mark Ovenden, speaking rather frankly at the Geneva Motor Show recently, said he didn't have real high hopes for substantial electric-vehicle adoption and said the company's money was better spent on smaller gas- and diesel-powered engines, the UK's Daily Mail says. Ovenden said of EV development that there was "no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune," adding that his goal was to have variants of Ford's EcoBoost engine in 40 percent of the company's vehicles. Ford has about a 15-percent market share in the UK. The UK doesn't appear to be as kind to the EV as the US. Nissan last year cut the price of its all-electric Leaf there last year by about $4,000, while the company rolled out a promotion for the Leaf late last year, including allowing Leaf drivers to borrow a gas- or diesel-powered Nissan for free for as long as two weeks a year during the first three years of Leaf ownership. In the US, Ford sold just 229 Ford Focus Electrics during the first two months of the year after moving 1,738 units in 2013.
