1965 Mustang
Here is a nice driver quality Mustang. I'd throw some mags or Shelby rims on it to give it some attitude.
It is a 289 A code which was a 289 4 barrel. I have copies of the original title but since the inner fender and door were changed in the body restoration, Maryland MVA assigned the car a new VIN and New ID plate. Copies of the original title and other documents show it is an A code. Maryland Title and Maryland VIN plate match.
The Pony has been partially restored with a rebuilt motor, newer paint and new interior.. The car runs and drives nicely and has power steering. It Cruises right along and turns heads everywhere. I've driven the car for an hour straight on the highway and suburbia roads with no issues. The Mustang does not pull when driving or breaking.
The body-
- Very nice flat very glossy and shiney paint
- Some very minor chips you have to hunt for and a light scratch on rear which look as if it will buff out
- Drivers door window needs adjusted. It hits rear side window slightly. The door does not appear to sag.
- Floors and trunks are incredibly solid
- MInor over spray on some window trim. Should come off with green scuff pad
- Wheel wells are all solid
- Bumpers, light bezels, lights and mirrors are all new
- Much of the chrome has been replaced with new. 1 piece of rear side window trim missing. In photo
- Trunk is incredibly solid and gas tank replaced.
- Windshield has small crack in corner. Not worth replacing
Drive train-
- Motor starts right up with no smoke or leaks - It does cough periodically (not enough to be an issue but want you to know). I'd put some new plugs and plug wires and run a couple tanks of high test through it. The car has been sitting for some time. Everything should be freshen up.
- Runs very good
- Has lots of power
- Engine bay could be detailed or chromed out.
Interior -
- New Pony interior, new carpet, and headliner.
- No wire nests beneath dash
- Dash has a few ripples - not worth replacing. I'd replace the gauge bezel and glove box with the fake wood ones just to give it some accents.
- Door panels in good shape.
Over all, this is a very nice driver quality car with very minor room for improvement. This is not a show car but a decent cruise in car I'd show. The car is sold "As is Where is" and the buyer is responsible for sall shipping arrangements or drive it home. A $500 deposit is due immediately at auction end.

Some additional information - Yesterday the starter gear would spin but wouldn't throw forward to engage the fly wheel (symptomatic of a starter going bad) doing so intermintingly. So I installed a brand new starter and brand new battery this morning. Have receipts. Also - The radiator is brand new with stickers still on it.

Why the 2015 Detroit Auto Show will be the best since The Crisis
Tue, Dec 30 2014The Detroit Auto Show clearly has its swagger back, and the 2015 edition will be a veritable feast for the enthusiast senses. We're talking serious performance, and it will be exhibited in a variety of forms. Sports cars. Supercars. Muscle-bound luxury cars. They're all set for splashy debuts in January in the Motor City. It's another signpost that companies have recovered from the global economic crisis that gripped the industry from 2008-09. For a while, automakers played it safe at Detroit and other shows. Environmentally friendly cars were important, especially for General Motors and Chrysler that were living on loans from Uncle Sam. Ford, Toyota and other companies generally focused on their best-selling or core models. With a few notable exceptions, recent auto shows have been a bit more buttoned-down than in the past. Boring probably isn't the right word, but austerity has been reality. That's changing. Car companies are making money. Sales are up. Aside from the many nagging recalls – and they are notable – the industry now has the time and energy to make performance cars a priority. That will be offered in hard evidence in Detroit. A year from now when we look back at this auto show, we'll sum it up with one word: Horsepower. But make no mistake, this isn't frivolous. Sports and luxury cars are expensive. They're profitable. They boost images and highlight strengths. With that in mind, here are five significant performance-oriented reveals to watch for when the show kicks off in less than two weeks. 2016 Acura NSX Acura's reborn NSX is a strong bet to earn plenty of votes for our Editors' Choice awards. It's one of the most anticipated – and strung-out – reveals of the year. Think back: we actually saw an NSX concept at the 2012 Detroit show, and Acura has spent the last three years teasing the car in a variety of ways. The slow burn, however, means we know a lot about the NSX. It's will use a mid-mounted twin-turbo hybrid powertrain and run with all-wheel drive. It will also wear an innovative zirconium e-coat paint, a new paint process that Honda says is more environmentally friendly. Honda has also said it will build the new NSX in Ohio, where a large part of the car's development work has been done. The original NSX was produced from 1990-2005 and helped establish Acura's performance credentials in the United States. It was a landmark car and a shot across the bow of Ferrari, Lamborghini and others.
Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.
American automakers fall in latest Fortune 500 rankings
Fri, 10 May 2013Not that it means anything beyond bragging rights, but if you're fixated on the positions of domestic automakers on the annual Fortune 500 list, both General Motors and Ford are still on it but they've slipped a couple of notches. The list ranks American companies and they're ordered solely by revenue. GM, fifth last year, came in seventh, while Ford fell from ninth to tenth even though both companies saw small gains in annual revenue.
GM's $152.3 billion in revenue was less than a third of that of the first company on the list: Wal-Mart, which regained the title from Exxon Mobil. Berkshire Hathaway and Apple are the firms that moved GM down. Ford, displaced by energy company Valero, had $134.3 billion in revenue.
On a side note, profitability isn't a factor, but both GM and Ford were down in this year's list compared to last year's: GM declined from $9.2 billion to $6.2 billion, Ford fell from $20.2 billion to $5.6 billion. If profits were included, Exxon Mobil would probably still be king: although the energy company made almost $20 billion less in revenue than Wal-Mart's $469.2 billion, it posted $44.9 billion in profit compared to Wal-Mart's $17 billion.
