    I found this mustang locally and I purchased it from the family of the person who ordered it new.   It has been sitting in a garage for years.  I have The Marti Report for the car Ford built 2 Black Jade GT 390 coupes in 1969 and Only one had a Vinyl Roof.  This car is a numbers matching car.

The Body of the car has very little rust, The Floors, frame rails, drop downs, shock towers, torque boxes, cowl, inners and outers. are all very nice.  It needs some small patches on the front fenders and the rear quarters. It will be a very easy restoration jams trunk and hood are nice.  it does have 2 small pin holes in the roof from the vinyl top. the chrome and trim are nice. The glass is all nice.

The interior of the car is complete the headliner has no rips,  The drivers seat has been redone but is cracked,  I don't think the interior has been out of the car so Im betting that the build sheet is still in the car somewhere.

The motor runs great no funny noise and the tranny shifts fine.  It smoked a bit but got better as it ran a while I cleaned the fuel out of it and put a starter in it and it fired up. I drove it around the block but the tires are junk so that's as far as I went.

It has power steering, bower disc brakes, 9" rearend. and I have the correct wheels with caps and rings for it that came on the car.

Please ask any questions you have before bidding. I will answer quickly and honestly.  The car is not cheap but the reserve is realistic please don't ask but if you make the right offer I may add a buy now. Check my feedback only bid if you want the car.  I can help arrange shipping at buyers expense.  Thanks and happy bidding

Watch this lead sled go rallying in Finland

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Custom cars generally fit into neat little boxes in terms of how they are used. For example, you're unlikely to see a modded Corvette going rock crawling; it's just not what it's made for (though we bet it'd look awesome, for a minute). In the same way, chopped, channeled and customized '50s hot rods aren't really meant to go racing. They look great and go fast, but they are generally more cruisers than sports cars.
However, if this video is any indication, the people of Finland don't adhere in these stereotypes, because this rodder is happy to play in the dirt with his lead sled.
According to the video, the driver is a member of the Ford-Freak Club of Finland, and he clearly knows how to have some fun. Possibly inspired by his country's great rally drivers, he gets the tail way out going around this gently curving gravel track. The stunt is somewhat reminiscent of the stock cars races on the sand at Daytona Beach, and this is probably close to what it sounded like too. Scroll down to watch a very cool Finn getting his hot rod a little dirty.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.
