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 finish. New 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.

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24
Tue, 01 Oct 2013It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.
Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers
Wed, 30 Apr 2014Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.
Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.
