1966 GT350 replica
Based on very nice A code 1966 mustang fastback that was built in NJ plant and then at some point vehicle relocated
to California (documented) where it was restored and then purchased by previous owner an air force mechanic. I
purchased vehicle as a very nice car that was extremely well kept (right down to logging all miles driven and all
maintenance) from the Air Force mechanic in Virginia in 2011 from a Hemmings listing. It was my starting point to
bring the vehicle to the level that it is in currently.
Since I have owned the car I have done a lot of professionally installed upgrades and maintenance most through
Carolina Automotive Restoration Services and have receipts.
Engine:
289 that has been confirmed and decoded but not original
Performance:
Has been rebuilt and has a mild comp cam (have receipts for the cam) done with previous owner. Rebuilt at some
point prior to our ownership and maintained properly.
I do not have any specs on the rebuild but runs extremely well on pump gas 91 octane with excellent power and no
smoking, excellent oil pressure and cylinder pressure.

NEW Correct finned oil pan – Shelby Cobra model from Branda Performance
NEW Cobra valve covers
Mallory electronic ignition (new replaced rotor and cap) with matching new Mallory coil and new wires from as well

New aluminum radiator with top portion painted correct engine black to blend in well with the period correct
components but keeps us running cool on hot Carolina days with confidence.
The entire cooling system has been recently flushed/ new antifreeze and new hoses. The thermostat was replaced at
the time. New 13 psi cap.
The braking system is stock drum brakes x 4 corners with single reservoir. The brakes have been recently redone
with new components and fluid and adjusted correctly and the vehicle stops without any pulling.
Disc brakes (front or front/rear) can be added easily at an additional cost and could be discussed at time of
purchase.

Very nice overall interior
Exterior and paint
Under my ownership repainted Base Coat/Clear Coat correct Wimbeldon White with LeMans Blue stripe (the stripes were
painted first so that there is no ridge in the paint) and paint has been color sanded to a deep finish.
The stripes were painted with the correct measurements per the original vehicle specifications.
I am really pleased with the paint: door jams as well as trunk were painted correctly at the time. My local shop
has confirmed to me how well preserved this vehicle is when they could be looking for more work which is a nice
vote of confidence.
Body lines and pans are very nice.

underside from Branda Perfomance
Correct stainless steel hood pins with hidden traditional hood latch for extra safety (I know too many folks who

New U joints and the driveshaft still has a sticker on it from when it was restored prior to my purchase.
The front and rear suspension components appear to have been replaced at time of original restoration.

No pulling or wandering.
Title:
Clear
Overall package a very nice and well sorted unique GT350 clone, tribute or replica (whatever your choose to call a
copy)
The vehicle looks like a well kept 2 year old car despite being 50 years old. This car was purposefully and
thoughtfully put together for driving and enjoyment and is extremely close to the original.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack
Sat, May 30 2015With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...
F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.
