1968 Mustang Coupe
This car was in my family since 1968. i will try to make it short. Dad took it off the road in 1984 to begin restoration. He had it sandblasted in new rear quarters leaded in ( he is a tinsmith by trade). well he got too old and she sat in a barn for the next 22 years. I got it from him in 07 and picked up where he left off. I put all new everything on it. from suspension to brakes. i will add what i did when time permits but just know it was a labor of love. well my interests have changed Im 50 now and 11 grandchildren and camping/fishing is on my list of prioritys. so im going to let her go to someone to finish up and enjoy.
I did have it Pennsylvania state inspected and licensed and insured for about 2 years. i let it run out and she just sits in my garage now.
On Feb-28-13 at 12:55:06 PST, seller added the following information:
Ok i will attempt to itemize things ive done over the years as follows.
Underneath i coated by brush entirely with POR15. (what a mess)
I installed new gas tank and fuel lines, all new brake lines front to back (kit from Laurel Mustang), all new wheel cylinders, brake drums rear, and new brake lining and hardware. new wheel bearings and seals, Rear end pulled and painted with new pinion seal, axle seals, synthetic gear oil.
New 5 leaf rear suspension, New 750 lb front coil springs, new shocks(4). new upper and lower A-arms with grease fittings. all new steering components including pitman arm and idler arm. Original manual steering gearbox (repacked).
Interior new light blue moon crater headliner, new insulation on roof and sail panel area. new dome light and door switches. Dad did repair the floor pans previously. they are solid as well. original material is still under blue seat covers (original is torn and ratty). New dash pad, new instrument bezel and dash (camera case). am-fm philco radio. all glass is original except windshield original was cracked , I used a donor and it is Carlite.
Engine is a late model 5.0 gt roller cam engine. with B303 cam and 68 J-code 4 bbl cast iron intake, with Holley 600 cfm show carburetor w/electric choke. Pertronix dizzy with flame thrower coil. new water pump. 50 .0z harmonic balance wheel (performance products). New radiator, hoses, etc....

I do have the original #s matching 289 engine to go along too.
Like i said this is running and driving mustang I had it inspected and tagged. but never took it out hardly. (i put 40 miles on the car on the last inspection).
The wheels are Keystone Classics with running horse centers.
this car can sit a month and i hit the pedal once and it fires right up. it will not require any tinkering. it will however need finish sanding and painted. I just ran out of steam..Any additional questions please feel free to ask. Yes you can drive this car home ( i dont know if i would go from Pennsylvania to California but you get my drift). I was always planning on the original Presidential Blue paint but that would be your call. Good luck bidding thanks for looking and God Bless

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains
Wed, 21 May 2014If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.
DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock
Fri, Jun 12 2015Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.
