Up for sale at No Reserve is a 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible.  The car has been sitting for the past few years and is currently not running although it was a running driving car when parked.  The 289 2v engine as well as the C4 automatic  transmission were rebuilt right before it was parked and they have less than 500 miles on them.  The body is in good shape with no rust through except on the lower passenger door (as seen) and some minor surface rust in areas, nothing a good sanding can't fix.  The floors all appear to be solid.  There is a minor dent on the front drivers fender from backing out of the garage, it can be seen in the pictures.  The black paint you see on the rear on the car is primer and was put on a while back to protect the body from the elements but the car has been sitting inside a tent since parked, when washed some of the primer came off and that is what you see.  The interior is pretty complete although a bit worn from sitting.  The convertible top fabric was old and ripping  from the California dry heat so I removed it, the frame is still there.  All glass is there and in good shape.  Three tires still hold air while the front passenger tire is dry and cracked and does not.  She still wears her original California black and gold license plates.  Included in the auction are an original jack and handles, a/c under dash unit, two a/c compressors, center console, wood grain steering wheel, extra black steering wheel with no cracks, and a 4 barrel carburetor with matching intake manifold.  If you would like to schedule an appointment to inspect the car please call or text me at 714-603-1210.  All interested parties are encouraged to inspect the car before bidding.  Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.  I have the clear CA title in hand. No Reserve, highest bid takes it. Thank You and good luck, Mark.

The pictures of the floors from under carpet shows surface rust, it can be sanded off easily and does not go through the metal.


On May-27-13 at 15:21:04 PDT, seller added the following information:

I added a picture of the engine block date code that says 4G22S.  By my research this breaks down to July 22,1964.

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.

Performance cars overpower the Detroit Auto Show

Tue, Jan 13 2015

At precisely the stroke of noon on Monday, the 2016 Acura NSX rolled on stage at the Detroit Auto Show amid plumes of smoke and dancing lights. The sounds of the powerful engine revving soared to the rafters. It was the second coming of Acura's iconic sports car, and the reveal had all of the expected trappings. Afterwards, champagne corks popped and the bubbly flowed. It was noon in Detroit, but for the green-car movement, it seemed like the clock had struck midnight. That's an exaggeration, but performance was the overwhelming theme of North America's most important show. Ford – which has helped lead the way in smaller displacement engines and early adoption of hybrid powertrains – had more than 1,500 horsepower on stage one point after it revealed the GT concept, the new F-150 Raptor and the Shelby Mustang GT350R. The NSX is technically a hybrid (it has three electric motors), but with 550-plus hp, there's no doubt this Acura was bred on the track. The theme continued throughout the show at nearly every stand. Alfa Romeo showed off the 4C Spider, which is the open-air version of a car that purports to be the spiritual successor of the high-performance 33 Stradale from 1967. On Tuesday, Cadillac is scheduled to reveal the 640-hp CTS-V with the V8 transplanted from the Corvette Z06, and the Lexus was expected to roll out its own V8-powered beast, the 467-hp GS F. For enthusiasts – especially enthusiasts with money – these are halcyon days. But make no mistake, all of this power has a purpose. Ford product chief Raj Nair said the Blue Oval uses high performance cars to develop technologies, like aerodynamics and materials, which are then shared across its lineup. "It's another proof point about how serious we are in developing innovation through performance," he said. Ford, which is rolling out at least 12 performance cars by 2020, said the sporty cars attract younger and more influential buyers to its fold, which can help burnish its image beyond adding sales volume. Toyota is taking a similar approach, senior vice president Bob Carter said, noting the Lexus RC coupe draws people into showrooms and gets them excited about the brand, even if they don't end up buying one. "They provide an aspiration and a halo that provides the attention that gets you noticed in a cluttered market," he said.

Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues

Fri, 09 May 2014

Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.
