1965 Ford Mustang Fastback A Code on 2040-cars
Saint Benedict, Pennsylvania, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : brian.loberg@zoho.com .
1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. This is an "A" Code car which meant it came from the factory with the 289 V8 with 4 Barrel Carb option.
Engine: This engine is a 1965 Ford 289 (not original to this vehicle but correct motor) stroked into a 331 stroker. Bored .30 over and the deck has been leveled. I sent this to a build shop to have it built. It had literally everything done. SCAT 331 Stroker kit installed, Edelbrock Aluminum heads, THUMPER cam (which hits super hard), Holley Double Pumper, and all exterior items such as intake mainfifold, alternator are chrome .
Exhaust: Chrome long tube headers with flowmaster Exhaust with stock style baffles coming out of the rear vallace.
Transmission: I believe this is the original transmission to this car. It is a Toploader Speed with a hurst shifter. All seals etc were replaced on this. After the car is warmed up, it tends to pop out of nd gear unless you hold the shifter down. I never had a problem just holding the shifter down and never investigated the matter further.
Interior: Everything redone on the inside except the headliner and fold down seat. Dash and seats look great. Right rear interior quarter panel has a hole in it from where somebody put a speaker in. I believe it is the orignial panel so I never replaced it. The headliner needs to be replaced as it is ripped in the back. All gauges work properly except the speedometer recently went. I checked it out and the cable was melted by the header. Rear fold down seat is missing some parts. Looks good to me so I never bothered with it. Blower was never hooked up for defrost etc as I never drove this car in the rain or questionable weather.
Body: This car is painted FLAT Black. It is how I got it. All of the exterior chrome is new and I really liked the way it looked with the flat black. You can tell there was not much prepwork done before they painted this. You see marks here and there when looking close. Mainly on the trunk lid and roof. One quarter panel looks like it was reparied around the wheel well. I am INCLUDING Two NOS reproduction quarter panels that I found in a barn. Also including the original hood. This has a fiberglass shelby hood with steel frame. New Floor Pans on this. Underside looks clean.
Suspension: NEW rear leaf springs, shackles, and shocks. NEW Front coils, and shocks. All suspension is factory original spec.
Rear: Factory 8 inch Rear. Restored.
Other NEW Parts: NEW Gas tank, New fuel lines front to back, New brakes all the way around, New brank lines front to back, new resevoir, New american racing 17 inch wheels with performance tires (approx 500 miles on wheels and tires), New Grill , New gas cap, New front and rear valance.

Watch Ken Block's scary Rally America crash from inside the cockpit
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ken Block became famous for his series of Gymkhana videos, but he's a real racer in his own right. Block has competed many rounds in the FIA World Rally Championship and also rallied in the 2013 Rally America series. He nearly won that latter title last year - if not for a massive crash in the final event of the season.
Block and his co-driver Alex Gelsomino went into the Lake Superior Performance Rally needing a win to take the championship. However, missing a clump of dirt on the side of the road and one little word in the pace notes was all it took to catapult Block's Fiesta off the road and into a tumbling accident. Block says his initial reaction was anger because the crash came out of nowhere.
For 2014, Block is joining the FIA World Rallycross Championship for at least three rounds. He'll drive a Ford Fiesta for the Hoonigan Racing Division at the Norwegian, French and Turkish events of the 12-round championship. Former Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve will also compete in the series.
Ford Mustang Mach-E fails Sweden's moose test
Wed, Sep 29 2021The infamous moose test has claimed another casualty. This time it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Long Range, which was tested in an electric four-way alongside the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Skoda Enyaq iV (an electric utility vehicle closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 that is sold in the United States). According to the Swedish testers at Teknikens Varld, Ford's electric car not only failed to hit the speed necessary for a passing grade, it didn't perform well at slower speeds, either. To pass the outlet's moose test, a car has to complete a rapid left-right-straight S-shaped pattern marked by cones at a speed of at least 72 km/h (44.7 miles per hour). The test is designed to mimic the type of avoidance maneuver a driver would have to take in order to avoid hitting something that wandered into the road, which in Sweden may be a moose but could just as easily be a deer or some other member of the animal kingdom elsewhere in the world, or possibly a child or car backing into the motorway. Not only is the maneuver very aggressive, it's also performed with weights belted into each seat and more weight added to the cargo area to hit the vehicle's maximum allowable carrying capacity. The Mustang Mach-E only managed to complete the moose test at 68 km/h (42.3 mph), well below the passing-grade threshold. Even at much lower speeds, Teknikens Varld says the Mach-E (which boasts the highest carrying capacity and was therefore loaded with more weight than the rest of the vehicles tested in this quartet) is "too soft in the chassis" and suffers from "too slow steering." Proving that it is indeed possible to pass the test, the Hyundai and Skoda completed the maneuver at the 44.7-mph figure required for a passing grade and the Tesla did it at 46.6 mph, albeit with less weight in the cargo area. It's not clear whether other versions of the Mustang Mach-E would pass the test. It's also unknown if Ford will make any changes to its chassis tuning or electronic stability control software, as some other automakers have done after a poor performance from Teknikens Varld, to improve its performance in the moose test.

3dCarbon now offering body kit for Ford Fusion
Tue, 01 Oct 2013A factory-backed body kit by 3dCarbon is now available to Ford Fusion owners who want their car to stand out from the crowd while not being too flashy. The body kit adds a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear body trim and spoiler that are, in fact, integrated quite nicely into the Fusion's already-comely styling, just as 3dCarbon claims. All Fusions with the kit also receive dual exhaust ports with the stainless-steel exhaust surrounds usually reserved for the Titanium package Fusion EcoBoost models.
A nice detail of 3dCarbon's injection-molded urethane body kit is that it has undergone crash testing to certify that it can withstand crashes up to five miles per hour. Because of this, the kit is warrantied by 3dCarbon for five years or 50,000 miles, much like Ford's warranty on its own parts. In fact, the kit is available through participating Ford dealers and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit. Buyers can purchase the kit - pre-painted or unpainted - and install it themselves, or it can be purchased with a new Ford Fusion and installed at the dealer, pre-painted to factory specifications. Of course, it can also be ordered directly from the source. Take a look at the press release below for more detailed information on the body kit, and let us know what you think of it in Comments.
