 This is a numbers matching clear title fastback. I bought this car from the original family after the owner had passed away. It was a Lucky Seven Mustang promotion, where in 1965 was put into  the Los Olas Casino as a prize option for hitting the lucky 7 slot numbers and Harold the owner had chosen the car which was a brand new 1965 Mustang Fastback with the 777 in the vin stamp over the $2,000 prize money and kept it basically stored away until his son and then his nephew owned it and used it for 15 years then put it away in storage where it stayed until I purchased it. The fastback is raven black with silver pearl stripes and black interior. The engine is the original 289 C code with a factory 4 speed manual transmition. Drivetrain, Floors, Panels. Radio etc all factory original. The drivers front rail had an area weld due to hitting a cement block underneath over 30 years ago and when restored will need some attention but does not affect the drivability of the car. The floors are very solid amd the

 body is very straight. The paint is about a $4,500 job and is a very good drivers quality paint with some flaws as almost all black paint jobs and would benefit greatly from a buffing but looks great as is. It appears in the pictures to have large scratches but that is just reflections there are no significant scratches or dents at all. The car starts right up and has a loud dual exhaust system. The wheels are chrome torque thrusts that have some surface rust that should clean up and tires are about 75%. The engine was also painted along with the engine bay and trunk, which is very solid. The car has been stored for the better part of the last 10 years and could use some tlc to run at its peak,namely a carb rebuild but the brake lines were just done last year along with the starter and solenoid. One could drive as is but should not plan a long trip without thoroughly going through it mechanically first. We spent a good amount getting it up and running but in no way want to guarantee a long drive home! All the glass is original and good, no chips or cracks, the window felt needs to be done and weatherstripping in the trunk should be done also. Basically its a very nice 4 speed fastback that will be an easy restore and should make anyone happy. Where else and when else will you find a factory 4 speed fastback? If you wait you never will. Fastbacks are projected to rise in price and value by 40% over just the next 5 years! Nada (which is a little on the high end) lists this car at a value at $17,800 for a total project to $53,000 totally restored.  This fastback falls somewhere in the middle so is a great value!

This is an amazing investment for a realistic price. I have dozens of pictures so if there is something you want to see please ask before bidding. Good luck!! All bids are binding contracts so only bid if you are serious about buying. We will also be listing its twin (his and hers 65 fast backs) its the same car but an automatic tranny) it's also Raven black and is a good driver. Make an offer on one or even both and we will consider it.  We can help facilitate transport either here or abroad. Thank you and PLEASE only bid if you intend on buying the car. I know there are a lot of dreamers out there but dreamers usually turn into non paying bidders. If you have less than 10 feedback please message us before bidding or your bid will be cancelled. I know the game now, open an eBay account just to ruin someone's auction. We are selling this fastback for a very very reasonable price and have much more into it. The buy it now is only a few hundred more than the reserve so don't wait!!  We want a clean easy sale so any inspections must be done prior to bidding and prior to end of auction. Thanks.

Ford won't be releasing GT500 lap times for the 'Ring, or any other car

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars - a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo - and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring with its ultra-powerful Shelby GT500.
After posting a Ford-made video of a 2013 GT500 running around the 'Ring, the guys over at SVTPerformance.com (an enthusiasts forum not affiliated with Ford or SVT) wanted more answers. They got in touch with Ford's Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi, who said until there is a way to verify the times and inspect the cars, Ford will not get involved with lap-time wars. In the email, Hameedi pointed out that the 'Ring is a useful tool in that it allows a wide spectrum of track conditions, but until there is a governed way to record times, there is no way to accurately compare cars head-to-head.
And as much as some may not like it, Hameedi speaks the truth. It really isn't possible to compare times from one car to another, unless those cars were lapping the same track at the same time with the same driver. Not that any of this means there won't be continuous wars by fans and manufacturers alike... in other words, feel free to voice your opinions in the Comments below.

Ford Recalls Nearly 700,000 Vehicles

Fri, May 9 2014

Ford is recalling more than 692,000 Escape small SUVs and C-Max gas-electric hybrids in North America to fix two safety problems. The recalls cover vehicles from the 2013 and 2014 model years. Most of the Escapes have both problems. The first case covers 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles. A software glitch can stop the side curtain air bags from inflating in certain types of rollover crashes. The company says it has no reports of crashes or injuries. Dealers will reprogram the air bag control computer for free. About 65,000 of the recalled vehicles are C-Max models, and the rest are Escapes. Roughly 591,000 are in the U.S., with 3,500 more in U.S. territories. About 78,000 are in Canada and another 19,500 are in Mexico, Fordspokeswoman Kelli Felker said in an e-mail. There could be more vehicles affected in other markets, the company said. The affected Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011 through Feb. 14, 2014. The C-Max vehicles were built from Jan. 19, 2012, through Feb. 24, 2014. The second case covers about 692,700 Escapes. Exterior door handles can bind and stop the door from latching properly. This could allow doors to open while the SUVs are in motion. Dealers will inspect the handles and reposition them if needed. No crashes or injuries have been reported. About 583,000 are in the U.S. or its territories, with another 89,500 in Canada and 20,000 in Mexico. Ford said in this case, the problem may affect vehicles in other markets. All the North American Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011, through April 10, 2014. Recalls Ford escape

Watch this lead sled go rallying in Finland

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Custom cars generally fit into neat little boxes in terms of how they are used. For example, you're unlikely to see a modded Corvette going rock crawling; it's just not what it's made for (though we bet it'd look awesome, for a minute). In the same way, chopped, channeled and customized '50s hot rods aren't really meant to go racing. They look great and go fast, but they are generally more cruisers than sports cars.
However, if this video is any indication, the people of Finland don't adhere in these stereotypes, because this rodder is happy to play in the dirt with his lead sled.
According to the video, the driver is a member of the Ford-Freak Club of Finland, and he clearly knows how to have some fun. Possibly inspired by his country's great rally drivers, he gets the tail way out going around this gently curving gravel track. The stunt is somewhat reminiscent of the stock cars races on the sand at Daytona Beach, and this is probably close to what it sounded like too. Scroll down to watch a very cool Finn getting his hot rod a little dirty.
