This is a True Texas car. Has been in storage since 1997. Car was restored as a driver sometime before then. Motor had been rebuilt and new paint somewhere prior to 1997. Car still looks good and runs good. When I first got it I had to basically replace everything that took fluid. The following has been done in last year....New gas tank, new fuel pump, rebuilt carburetor, New radiator and new water pump and most hoses, power steering rack and reservoir, New power brake booster and master cylinder ,new brakes and wheel cylinders. new clutch....also has new vintage air/heat assembly brand new and never been charged yet (heat does) Its R34 so pretty easy to charge. Inside the car has new front carpet,new door panels and armrest,new dash,,,,seats,headliner are the factory original I think. They are old, showing some where but plenty good for daily driving and good shape. Instrument cluster and dash trim is yellowed and old but I have all new stuff in the boxes and go with car. Also have new roof rail rubber and maybe other stuff. Interior lights work, all gauges in dash work like they should,rear dome lights, and even the radio (but has no antennae....no hole for one?) Outside it has a GT hood with working turn signals,new front bumper,new emblems on fenders. Paint looks really nice for nearly 20 years old...has one round paint blemish on cowl pass about size of half dollar...few chips here and there. Rear bumper original. Silver with pewter racing stripes. All turn signals,park lights and brake lights work...wipers work and horn when it wants too. Tires look new but are old and need balanced or replaced. Cragar old school mags. Car has the factory 289....it has heat plugs so has been rebuilt at some time. It runs good and dont smoke or get hot. Trans is borg warner 4 spd and shifts perfect with factory shifter. Has 2.79 hywy gears. Underneath is clean and looks good with normal wear. Body looks good and not wavy and dont think ever wrecked. Inside quarters look good and no bodywork showing anywhere. I bought to make a Shelby clone but everyone yells at me to not screw up this car because its a nice survivor. I drive around here and it fires up instantly and is a fun car.....I would drive it anywhere ( maybe tires if a long ways) Car would make a Shelby GT350 or BULLIT car real easy. This one is nice because has all pwr accessories . CAR IS 45 YEARS OLD SO NO WARRANTY....AS IS.....CAR IS FOR SALE LOCAL AND WILL PULL AD IF SOLD ....IF RESERVE MET IT RUNS TILL SOLD ON HERE. $500 NON REFUNABLE DEPOSIT TO COVER LISTING. I CAN DELIVER IF NOT TOO FAR AWAY AND CAR IS PAID FOR FIRST.....AMERICAN BANK WIRE TRANSFER OR CASH ONLY.....NO PERSONAL CHECKS OR MONEY ORDERS. FUNDS HAVE TO CLEAR BEFORE CAR LEAVES PERIOD !!!!

I had someone ask me the color and I guessed teal by looking under some rubber, I got a Mart Report and the color is Brittany Blue (Q code )which also explains the blue steering wheel cover. It was built Dec 7th 1967 . 4 speed and other stuff is correct. Had a guy wanted to trade in his Mustang and went to see it. I would take a nice builder in trade.....but I do not want a car wrecked or all the parts lost.....a hull is not worth $10,000 to me. I have a nice 1965 GT350 Shelby so not hard up on Mustangs. If you have a nice 65-68 FASTBACK ONLY that is complete .....I dont care about motor,trans,metal or chrome.....seats and interior must be 100% there and not busted. I might take a convertible 67/68.......I still want to build a Shelby GT 500. My phone is listed...feel free to call about car. Also car has a clear Texas blue Title.

I have a standing offer if the car does not sell.....I have lowered the buy it now and reserve price to reflect this. Most mustangs on here are basket cases requiring thousands of work or high end cars requiring thousands more to buy. This car is a nice unmolested basically original car in a medium price range for a 1968 fastback.

Project Ugly Horse: Part V
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.
Ford dealers offered discounts on tools to fix aluminum
Mon, 27 Jan 2014With the introduction of the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 (and the likely use of aluminum in future Ford products), Ford is looking to help its dealerships reduce costs related to repairing this more labor-intensive material. Automotive News is reporting that Ford dealers with body shops will require an estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in equipment and training to work on aluminum, and to help alleviate the financial burden of the new F-150, Ford has announced a special 20-percent discount on this equipment.
Dealers will be able to save up to $10,000 on tools such as welders, air-filtration systems and rivet guns and to create aluminum-specific work stations. The new F-150 goes on sale in the fourth quarter, and dealers have until October 31 to take advantage of this deal, according to the report.
