Trim: Fastback
What an awesome candidate for restoration. This is a nice 1966 Mustang fastback that will be an easy project for someone to finish. It is equipped from the factory with its original 289 rebuilt motor and manual transmition. Dual exhaust, drum brakes all redone last summer. Mechanically sound, this fastback is a good driver as is. It is its original color of Nightmist Blue, with all original unrestored interior in Parchment. A very attractive combo and nice and cool, unlike all the black interiors out there. The paint was redone at some point in the last decade and only has some minor flaws. But anyone that buys this car is obviously going to want to restore it. Its very very straight. No filler that I can find. The front floor has 2 spots as I have tried to capture in the pictures, they are about 3-4 inches long. The car will come with the 2 front floor sections new in the box. It also has a spot of rust in the rear passenger side floor, again about 3 inches or so.. The floors are original as you can see in the pictures and other than those areas are very solid. The frame is very solid and so is the cowl. If I were keeping the car I would just put a new floor in, just because im a perfectionist and I like the look of a new floor as opposed to sections welded in. But it could certainly just have the sections welded in for a driver fastback. The interior is all original and all complete down to the factory radio that still works! The only thing missing is the carpet, which was taken out to get better pics of the floor. It obviously will need some restoring as well but is all there. The back seat and all the assembly, trim and all is in very good shape. The door tag is present and all numbers match. Decodes just as it sits now. New magnum 500 wheels and newer tires. good chrome bumpers. Engine runs well and shows well. Some new and old parts come with car. Title is clear. Just turned 100k miles!! This is a car you can be proud of driving now while you restore. It gets a lot of attention now and will command even more when done. I am sure I am forgetting a few things so pls ask any questions you may have. I will also be selling my 1965 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE c code SHELBY clone soon, It is also a restoration in process, if you have any questions about either just ask! I am able to assist in transport at buyers cost. Thank you.

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.
NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights
Sat, Aug 15 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.
Mazda Turnpike in Japan shut down for racing
Mon, Dec 29 2014The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.
