Up for Auction is my 1967 Mustang convertible, No Reserve
Great Color combination and popular power train.
Here is the car by the numbers:
C-code 289 2bbl V-8
76A- Conv
W- Clearwater Aqua
2K- Aqua Standard bucket seats
35- Build Oct141966
0- 2.79 Rear axle
W- C-4 automatic trans
The Marti Report has the options listed including Am Radio Exterior Group and tinted glass. (all the green tinted glass looks in nice condition with all the window parts and scissors included)
The car has had a lot of metal work done already.and there more welding to be done. It is a project.
Here is a list of how solid the bases of the car is. Even though the metal work was done before I got the car, It has new battery tray. front aprons on the left and right are new. The right rear apron needs a repair patch on top behind the shock tower. The shock towers are great on both sides. The front rails are great. The floor boards are new and the frame supports. The rear rails, inner wheel wells, rear drops, and rear floors are new and welded in. The gas tank seems new. This sheet metal listed is all welded securely in place. Now I do not know how perfectly straight it is because I did not have the car at the time it was welded. It seem close, . Yet to be welded will be the outer rear wheel wells. The door latch posts need to be welded back in ( I have those original ones). Then the back panels need to be put in. The inner and outer rockers are great. Missing the rocker chrome trim. The doors are original and in wonderful conditioned and primed. The rear full quarters and front fenders are new aftermarket parts. The rear panel is new. front and rear lower valances are original and are in usable condition. I have bolted the car together for a few of the pictures so that you can get an idea of the car as a whole. You can see which of the original pieces are good and which might need to be replaced. I have also taken pictures of the car with the quarters not on so you can see all that still needs to be done.
The frame for the convertible top works well. The canvas will need to be replaced of course. I left the material on the frame so that the original items would not be disturbed.
The Original hood might needs to be replaced or worked because there is rust through in the corners. near the window. I have a couple of rear deck lids that come with the car. The best deck lid was not original to the car, but it is an great very little surface rust on it that will work better than an aftermarket decklid.
I did get under the dash to look at the cowl vent which looks like the divers side should be repaired
In the engine bay it looks wonderful, I dropped the engine back into the car for easy transport. The engine will need to be rebuilt most likely. I do not think it is the original engine because the date codes seems to be a few months earlier that the car. It still is a 289 and the C-4 transmission seem in great shape, and the torque converter is in great condition. ( the fly wheel and torque converter are not in the car). I was told the crank in the engine was not good. There is also a engine block with the correct date code that goes with the car. ( maybe that block has a good crank). The car has Power steering, you can see the pump in one of the pictures I think. The car has been equipment with front disc brake, I have no idea if the brakes works, the lines are all hooked up. the car rolls around and steers wonderfully. It will have to be pushed up onto a car hauler. The transmission is not hooked up, so you will have to use tie downs so the car does not roll
I have taken pictures of all the items that go with this original car. One of the only thing that I can tell is missing are the interior rear quarter trim-those are the rear arm rests. You'll need to recover cover the original seats most likely. Most of the parts are usable as is, or you can replace them with shiney new bits.
I will unclip the rear quarter for transportation and put them inside the car. The doors do not latch shut yet because the latch pillars are not welded back in yet, but I will secure the door shut. The front fenders have a few bolts in them so they will be fine for transport. I will take off the front grill and headlight buckets and put them in the car, because they are just zipped tied to the fenders for the pictures.
The seats are bolted in and the dash is secured and hasn't been taken out, so it will travel fine. the Marti Report will come with the car along with the CLEAN and CLEAR TITLE
The car has been under restoration for many years now. I got the car a little while ago, but I have other more pressing things to go. I do not weld, and my welding friend just moved, and I do not want to send the car to body shop and pay those prices. So the wife says sell the car. My lose could be your gain. I do know that the original C-code V-8 cars are the ones to invest time and money into because they bring the better money. I love this highly sought after color combination. These car sell for $25,000-30,000 when done nicely. This car already has had most of the back breaking work done already. there is still a lot of fit and finishing work to do, and lot more welding, but this is a VERY SOLID car, don't waste time on some old rust bucket.
I have taken a lot of pictures. Email if you would like me to send any other pictures directly to you email of specific areas of the cars of different parts.
Serious buyers are welcome and encouraged to see the car in person and take their own measurements, and see all the parts before the end of the auction, because at the end of the auction the last bidder is the winner and that is exactly what I will take for the car. The car is selling at no reserve
and is being sold as is.
I need a $500 deposit within 2 days of the end of the auction. And the balance in cash or Bank transfer with-in 7 days and before pick-up.
Shipping and transportation is totally up to the buyer.
I will sell the car internationally. but the money needs to be in my hand before I release the car or the title. I can help talk to talk to your transportation company to help with timing of delivery.
I think I described the car the best I could and I'm sure I forgot something , but the pictures should help. ask me any questions you want.
Thank you for looking and bidding

Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.

The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:

The a la carte menu for the 2016 Ford Explorer is ready for your... umm... exploring. The first page of the refreshed model's configurator reveals the lineup, including the new Platinum trim, and price increases for three of the carryover models. The base Explorer doesn't change by one red cent: it can still be had for $30,700. The XLT needs $33,400 (a $400 price bump), the Limited goes for $41,300 (a not insignificant $2,900 price increase), and the Sport requires $43,300 (a $200 increase). That new Platinum model goes where no Explorer MSRP has gone before, beginning at $52,600 (*all prices are subject to an $895 destination charge). However, since Ford has put almost everything in it, you can't jack the price up too much further unless you lose your mind in the accessories catalog. You can quickly head that way lower down the order, though. The Limited's price jump appears to be due to the voice-activated navigation system, which comes standard; it was formerly part of a $2,600 option package. The Limited goes up by just $995 when specced with the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost, which raises the power over the 2.0-liter EcoBoost it replaces to 270 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, but doesn't incur any fuel economy penalty. All-wheel drive tacks on another $2,000, safety features like active park assist and lane departure warning come as part of $3,000 Equipment Group A, and you'll still have another three pages of options to get through. On the other hand, if you just want to get your family bundle into an Explorer without spending a bundle, the base model doesn't offer any packages and only has one option over $200. Let the research begin.
