1967 Mustang Fastback with a 385 Series 460 Big block mated to a C6 automatic 3-speed transmission and a 8-inch rear end. Non-matching numbers. No power brakes or steering. The body is very solid with very little rust. Raven Black is not the original color as in some areas Lime Green or Dark Green (Bullitt) is visible. I have owned this car for almost seventeen years and it has been a pleasure to drive. It always attracts attention with "Nice Ride!" comments, and gets plenty of thumbs up when out and about. It's a beautiful example of the best (in my opinion) Mustang years '67/'68, which were three inches wider than 64-66 to accommodate larger engines, yet smaller than 69/70, so they still feel like a pony/sports car, not a large land cruiser. And like the '68, has the true Fastback--all the way down the trunk---a beautiful line seen in profile shots.

My son and I started restoration and upgrading some years back and as life changes quickly, we left it unfinished. I have driven it in the summers for a few months, and have done some occasional upgrades such as having the Holley carb rebuilt, adding a high torque-starter with heat shielding and a Petronix ignition. The interior is stripped down to the metal, because we wanted to check for rust and add rust inhibitor from Eastwood. We also replaced the floor pans which were the only really rusty areas. Water used to come in the vent, run down the cowls and drip onto the floors on these models--hence the clear vent/cowl seal you can see in the photos just in front of the windshield. I replaced the cowls years ago, and kept the vent sealed to prevent further dripping, which is not a problem since I do not have the heater connected and drove only in fair weather anyway. So interior is bare and dash gages are disconnected, wiring harness is in place with the battery in the trunk. We didn't install the 4 point roll bar so it is in the New Parts list.

 

As far as issues, with cars this old there are always a few:

There are  three small mounting holes in the trunk lid where the Cougar spoiler was mounted. I removed it last year because it detracted from the Fastback smooth line. As it could use some body work or new paint, this is not a big issue.


Some electrical work needed. Headlamps not working, but Fog Lamps are. I have used lighting harness in used parts.

 

It has always had a drip at the rear seal of the trans, which (the seal) I have had replaced, but it still drips---probably because it's just not driven enough and it dries out.

 

The rear end housing had a hairline crack in it, which I had welded, but it still drips slowly. I'd just replace it as an engine this size needs a 9-inch rear end anyway! 

 

The engine runs well but bogs just a bit at low RPM during take off--probably because I haven't changed the spark plugs for a long time (it's a challenge the way this monster is shoe-horned it), but once past that she will bury the needle on the speedometer and go well beyond the 120 mark mph--easily--which is quite amazing considering it's a three-speed trans. The 460 has incredible torque, activate the line-lock(roll control) button on the Hurst ratchet shifter, hit the accelerator and she will vaporize the rear tires in a cloud of smoke. I never had the rear end ratio checked so I can't say what it is--somewhere in mid-range I think-- as she both accelerates well and has a good high end, as stated.

That's pretty much it with issues.

 

Some miscellaneous comments:

 

The Weld racing wheels need a good polish but are in good condition. The Radial T/A's are in very good condition with maybe 4,000 miles on them.

I was told the Cobra air cleaner is vintage and rare.

It has a Accel SuperCoil, GT style Fog lamps, '69 Cobra Jet hood scoop and shock tower brace and Monte Carlo bar.

 

New Part include: 

                          4-Point roll bar

                          3 inch Simpson Platinum racing belts.

                          Certified Racing fuel cell.

                          Various miscellaneous parts (bolts, screws, etc.)

Man chases down truck thief and steams it all on Facebook

Thu, Oct 13 2016

A Washington man chased down a truck stolen from his family's dealership last Saturday and livestreamed the event on Facebook. According to KOMO, a 2005 Ford F-250 was stolen from Sunrise Auto Sales in Eatonville, Washington on the morning of October 8. Aaron Babcock, who co-owns the small dealership with his father David, told reporters that after reviewing surveillance footage, he later spotted the truck while riding his motorcycle on Webster Road East. "I watched my cameras and found the video of a man lurking around and ending up taking off with my truck," Babcock told KOMO. "Cops came and made a case. Three hours later I was on my motorcycle in Graham, and they drove by me oncoming. It still had dealer stickers on it. It said diesel on the window and it had our dealer plate on it. It stuck out like a sore thumb. It was really easy to see." Once he spotted the stolen Super Duty, he wheeled his bike around and gave chase. He attempted to call 911, but was unsure if the dispatcher heard him due to noise from the wind and the bike's engine. So he fired up Facebook live and started streaming his chase, giving running commentary and updating his location as he chased the slow-moving truck. "I wasn't going to let him get away. I was going to try follow him down. I had no idea what to do," Babcock said. "Nobody could hear me on the phone so I just figured the first thing to do is pull up Facebook live." Babcock's Facebook friends pitched in by calling 911 to report the chase and even jumping in their own cars to follow the truck. At one point, he pulled alongside the truck and recognized both men in the cab. The driver was the man seen lurking around the dealer lot in the surveillance video, and the passenger was an old friend of Babcock's. "I know who you are!" he shouted at them, but the hunkered down and kept driving. Eventually, Babcock lost cell phone signal and the livestream ended. Eatonville police, who by this point were well aware of the incident, caught up with the truck in the 8400 block of 356th Street South in Eatonville. The driver was arrested and the passenger was questioned and released. Both denied stealing the vehicle or knowing it was stolen. Two sets of keys from Sunrise Auto Sales and a stolen credit card were also recovered from the truck. Related Video

Jeremy Clarkson chooses his top 10 cars for 2015 and 2016

Mon, Aug 15 2016

Jeremy Clarkson is well-known for his role as co-host on the old Top Gear. But the frontman of the upcoming Amazon Prime Show, The Grand Tour, also has a standing column for The Sunday Times in the UK where he reviews the latest cars. With fall nearing, Clarkson put out a list of his top-10 cars from this year and 2015. Some on the list will surprise you, while others represent everything we've come to love about Clarkson. In order to make his list of star cars, the vehicles must offer what co-host James May calls "the fizz." The vehicles, Clarkson claims, have something that is out of the ordinary. Whether it's the car's looks, the way it gets up to speed, or its high-tech gadgets, Clarkson's top-10 list is made up of items that are more than just tools for getting from point A to B. So which ones made the list? Head over to the column in The Sunday Times.

Should heavy-duty pickup trucks have window stickers with fuel mileage estimates?

Sat, Sep 23 2017

If you were to stroll into your nearest Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan, or Ram dealership, you'd find a bunch of pickup trucks. Most of those would have proper window stickers labeled with things like base prices, options prices, location of manufacture, and, crucially, fuel economy estimates. But you'd also run across a number of heavy-duty trucks with no such fuel mileage data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA doesn't require automakers to publish the valuable miles-per-gallon measurement for vehicles with gross weight ratings that exceed 8,500 pounds. That makes it difficult for consumers to compare behemoths powered by turbocharged diesel engines – between one another, and between smaller, gasoline-fueled trucks. Consumer Reports doesn't think it should be this way, and it's spearheading an effort (PDF link) to get the government to require manufacturers to publish fuel economy estimates. In its own testing, CR found that heavy-duty pickups powered by Ford's Power Stroke, GM's Duramax, and FCA's Cummins diesel engines (which doesn't include the Ram's EcoDiesel) get worse fuel mileage than their lighter-duty gas-powered siblings. We're not so sure HD-truck buyers are unaware of this fact – big diesels don't really come into their own until big loads are placed in their beds or attached to their trailer hitches. Under heavy workloads, the diesel trucks will almost certainly return greater efficiency than a similar gas-powered truck. What's more, HD trucks with lumbering diesels in general make the driver feel more confident while towing due to greater torque at low engine RPM than gas trucks. They also offer greater max-weight limits. Still, we agree EPA fuel mileage estimates should be offered for heavy-duty pickups. And we think the comparisons provided by Consumer Reports might be interesting to potential buyers. Click here to see the results of CR's tests, and let us know what you think using the poll below.
