1965 Ford Mustang Fastback

Up for auction is a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback.  This mustang features a rebuilt 289, 4-speed, with power steering, power brakes and A/C. 

This fastback received a complete restoration 5 years ago. 

The metal work is as follows:  New front floor pans as well as a new cowl & firewall patch.  All patch work was welded both sides, ground and filed, resulting in a very nice finishNew left and right full quarters, new left and right door shells and new left and right fenders.  New wiring harness throughout the car (under-dash harness, engine harness, headlight harness and complete pigtail harness, etc.).  New back-up lights, headlights, tail and side marker lights.  New interior, head liner, and seats, etc.

All courtesy lights and guages work.  I prefer mechanical oil and temp guages so I have aftermarket oil and temp located in the console.  The electric harnesses are still in the engine bay and could easily be hooked up to respective sending units and used if preferred, as both electric oil and temp dash guages do work.

The engine (original to the car) was rebuilt, bored .30 over with all basic requirements that come with a rebuild, but not an overhaul.  The original transmission (c-4) was used for a boat anchor and replaced with a Borg Warner t-10 with new linkage and shifter.  The new flywheel was balanced with the engine rotating assembly at the time of the engine rebuild.  The original 8" rear end (2:78-1) was re-geared with new 3.25-1 open, which is more in line with the 4-speed transmission.  Drum brakes were replaced with power disc brakes from a late model mustang.  Front brakes are Granada power disc with re-designed new spindels to eliminate "bump-steer" which is common on 65-66 Granada swaps.  During the rebuild, I welded in Shelby over-ride bars to rear torque boxes.  This was fine for road racing but the ride was too harsh so I cut them out and a couple years later and replaced them with Lakewood traction bars.

As the pics show, the car was down to bare bones with all new lines (brakes/fuel) and weather stripping added.  I used the trim and stainless pieces that were in good shape and replaced the remaining pieces with aftermarket as needed.  I replaced the heat and air with Classic Auto Air so all the duct and related controls/wiring was new.  New radio and speakers with input and USB jacks for an Ipod.  The doors shut and the windows roll up and down easily.  After 2 years of driving this car, I decided to improve the cars performance, so I pulled the engine and put a Pro-Comp aluminum head and intake, and a Erson cam and lifters.  (Cam is Erson E212421 / lobe separation 108 / lift .504 / duration 296).  The carb is a Holly 600 CMF Double Pump / mechanical secondary-manual choke with a 66 primary and a 73 secondary.  Large aluminum radiator, 180 degree thermostat (with no overheat problems in heavy traffic with the A/C going).

Overall the car is user friendly and is a beautiful vehicle for a daily-drive (as it occasionally goes to Wal-mart).  Minimum scratches with no road rash to the tires or wheels.  Exterior trim is nice.  Car is not Barrett/Jackson caliber but is a very high-end driver. 

I personally built this car (welding, paint, interior, motor work, etc.) so I can answer all questions, so please email me if you would like to know any other specifics.  I'm the old guy in the pics.  


On Mar-22-13 at 11:57:47 PDT, seller added the following information:

I forgot to mention, from the time of build, the exhaust is new stock replacements from the exhaust manifolds to the tailpipes.

I've also uploaded 112 build photos to my Photobucket website.  Please email me for a link to my web page as EBay will not allow me to post it on this listing.  Thanks.

The next-generation wearable will be your car

Fri, Jan 8 2016

This year's CES has had a heavy emphasis on the class of device known as the "wearable" – think about the Apple Watch, or Fitbit, if that's helpful. These devices usually piggyback off of a smartphone's hardware or some other data connection and utilize various onboard sensors and feedback devices to interact with the wearer. In the case of the Fitbit, it's health tracking through sensors that monitor your pulse and movement; for the Apple Watch and similar devices, it's all that and some more. Manufacturers seem to be developing a consensus that vehicles should be taking on some of a wearable's functionality. As evidenced by Volvo's newly announced tie-up with the Microsoft Band 2 fitness tracking wearable, car manufacturers are starting to explore how wearable devices will help drivers. The On Call app brings voice commands, spoken into the Band 2, into the mix. It'll allow you to pass an address from your smartphone's agenda right to your Volvo's nav system, or to preheat your car. Eventually, Volvo would like your car to learn things about your routines, and communicate back to you – or even, improvise to help you wake up earlier to avoid that traffic that might make you late. Do you need to buy a device, like the $249 Band 2, and always wear it to have these sorts of interactions with your car? Despite the emphasis on wearables, CES 2016 has also given us a glimmer of a vehicle future that cuts out the wearable middleman entirely. Take Audi's new Fit Driver project. The goal is to reduce driver stress levels, prevent driver fatigue, and provide a relaxing interior environment by adjusting cabin elements like seat massage, climate control, and even the interior lighting. While it focuses on a wearable device to monitor heart rate and skin temperature, the Audi itself will use on-board sensors to examine driving style and breathing rate as well as external conditions – the weather, traffic, that sort of thing. Could the seats measure skin temperature? Could the seatbelt measure heart rate? Seems like Audi might not need the wearable at all – the car's already doing most of the work. Whether there's a device on a driver's wrist or not, manufacturers seem to be developing a consensus that vehicles should be taking on some of a wearable's functionality.

Watch this Ford F-150 SVT Raptor fly like an eagle [UPDATE]

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is a very capable truck right out of the box, but "capable" has never translated into "invincible." Just ask the owner of the machine in this video. In it, the driver gets frisky with an aggressive jump with plenty of speed on his hands. The result is enough air to make Vaughn Gittin Jr. blush. As always, it's not the launch that's painful, but the re-entry. Gravity eventually asserts its dominance over the $43,630 pickup in a big way, and when it comes crashing down, it does so with a vengeance.
The impact was hard enough to set off both the alarm and multiple airbags inside the cabin. It's unclear if anyone was injured in the stunt, but we certainly wouldn't be surprised to hear that was the case. You can check out the stunt in the video below, and remember, when in doubt, back out of the throttle. Be warned, there may be some explicit/NSFW language in the clip.
UPDATE: Second video added with an even better look at the jump added below.

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
