----------------LOW RESERVE--------------

You are bidding on a 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback that has been in storage for several years ( about 10 ) .  It was pulled out of storage a few months ago, and now I am selling it on E-bay, because I would like the vehicle to be in the care of someone who can appreciate it more than I can, and give it the love and attention it deserves.  Sadly, I cannot give this car my full attention due to other responsibilities in my life. 

I will be throwing in a Free Car Cover that is 1 month new.  There is one hole in the car cover for the antenna to stick through.
Also 1 Brand New ABC Fire Extinguisher will be given with the vehicle, as well as an old one that came with the car when I bought it.  The original A/C (Air conditioner) Unit will also be sent with the car, it is old. ( hence the reason why I believe it is original)  The California registration is current up to March 18, 2014.  I think it costs about $67 per year for registration.  The trunk contains an old, possibly original jack with lever, and spare tire.  There is also an old mustang leather fender cover for protecting your car from scratches when you work on it.  you will also be getting the car with a full tank of gas, and an empty gas can of about 2 gallon capacity.

I will be including several pictures, and videos can be seen on my youtube channel for as long as this auction is current, which will be about 1 week.  

The battery was purchased brand new about 6-8 months ago.   The paint job on the car is in pretty good shape, but its not perfect. the driver and passenger leather seats are in pretty good shape, they were bought before the car was stored in 2002.  The engine is a 351 Windsor.  Most of the hardware on the top end of the engine if not all of it is in good condition, a top end rebuild was done before it was stored.

List of items that may need work:
*****The engine may require a tune up ( I honestly do not know since I am not a mechanic, but I did take the car to a certified mechanic a few days ago and he can give you more information on his opinion of the vehicle, his number is included at the bottom of this page, if you call them, ask about the red 1969 mustang that was brought in on july 5th.)
***Some minor leaks  ( from my observation the leaks are at a very low rate about 2-3 drops every 20-30 minutes, I was told by the mechanic that all old cars have this issue. )
****on the interior:
dashboard has cracks in the middle and needs replaced,
 guages need work:speedometer adjusted, fuel gauge in-operable, 
steering wheel needs to be rotated 90 degrees to make it look normal, it is off a bit right now should be a simple fix,
 center console missing bracket, and screws should be a cheap and easy fix...see photos/video,
 the wood panel in front of the center console needs to be reglued/epoxied at the base...also see photo/video for this...; 
clock is working, but time needs to be adjusted, 
carpet near passenger seat needs to be fixed...slight gap about 1/2 and inch to 1 inch...see video titled: interior, 
headliner behind driver seat needs to be finished, it never was although I had purchased it new back in 2002. 
12 Disc Cd changer needs to be looked at, it does not seem to be ejecting as it should, this should be a minor fix...although with new technology you might want to get rid of it, and replace it with a smartphone connector.
trunk needs to be cleaned up, possibly new liners etc....see video entitled: trunk

letter "A" missing from the name mustang on the rear of car
minor scratches/chips throughout the car, again see photos/videos.
minor rust on wheels, 
possibly rust under vehicle, ( was told by local mechanic that vehicle was solid body wise, again I am not a car person, so I am not sure what is good/bad etc, I would call it Average wear and tear for a 44 year old vehicle.)

If you have questions, contact me on Ebay, if you want to get specific answers on mechanical questions, please feel free to contact the mechanic shop I used on July 5th, information is below.  I have made every effort to make this as honest as possible, all I ask for is a fair price for the vehicle, whatever current market value is for the condition it is in.    All I ask is that you take a look at the photos and videos, if you like what you see, put in a bid, if not then thank you for your time.  

I am not a very mechanically inclined person, but I did take this car in to a shop to fix an oil gasket leak this past week, and the mechanic stated that if anyone had any questions, he would be more than happy to explain things they wanted to know.  here is the information for the autoshop that I used, which was a very good place to go to if you need auto work done.  



Thank you for looking at my auction.  Happy bidding.

Please note the following:  The tag on the dashboard reads VIN 9R02F105803  .  I checked the door tag and it reads a different number as follows:
9R01L150798---The only possible explanation that I have is that this is in-fact a warranty number, not the VIN number, based on a picture of the tag on this website : http://www.classicponycars.com/69data.html     
the image shows a door tag and reads as follows  
" warranty number, not for title or registration"

Here are the rest of the door tag codes;

BODY- 65A   Coupe w/ Standard Int., Buckets
COLOR- W    Meadowlark Yellow
interior trim- 2G   Ivy Gold, Standard Buckets
date code- 27B   Feb 27, 1969 manufacture date
DSO District Code- 71   Los Angeles
axle-   3  -  2.79:1 Standard Differential
trans-  W-  C-4 Automatic


 Thank you.

Ok, so I checked with the mechanic Nathan at Ken's Auto Repair, and he confirmed that his expert opinion is that the Engine is a 351.  While I was there I got a chance to put the car up on the lift, and get a cool video of the under part of the car which I am currently uploading to the youtube channel. [ it will be done in about 30 minutes, currently 1300 or 1PM PST]  .  Also I responded to a question but it did not get posted on here, so here it is for your information a clarification on the door tag codes VS a Marti Report for the Vehicle, which will be included in the sale when the vehicle ships.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, I was looking through some papers and found that I had a copy a Marti Report already done. The door tags I have posted at the bottom of the link. The marti report will be included in the sale and will be sent along with the car. As far as the engine goes I will double check with the mechanic, but I was always under the impression that it was a 351. You are right though according to the VIN and marti report, the car was manufactured as a 302-2v Engine. I am thinking that somewhere along the line a previous owner converted the vehicle to a 351, that is the only explanation I can come up with at the moment. The Marti report differs from the tags in the following areas:
63A Mustang Sportsroof instead of BODY- 65A Coupe w/ Standard Int., Buckets
4A Black Clarion Knit Vinyl Hi-Back Bucket Seats instead of interior trim- 2G Ivy Gold, Standard Buckets
23J Scheduled for build: Septermber 23, 1968 instead of date code- 27B Feb 27, 1969 manufacture date
72 San Jose Ordering District instead of DSO District Code- 71 Los Angeles

Again the questions and answers is not working properly so I am posting this information as a response to a question.

Good Day, I have some pictures of the top of the engine, and I think thanks to your questions we can finally put to rest once and for all that this is a 351W. The intake is an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap part number 7581. According to the website :
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-7581/applications/?prefilter=1
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-7581/

This part is designed for :
Make:FORD
Beginning Year:1969
Ending Year:1997
Engine Type:V8
Liter:5.8
CID:351
Engine Size:5.8L/351
Engine Family:Ford small block Windsor
Carburetor Mounting:4-barrel square bore
Cylinder Head Style (application):Windsor

So that should confirm that the engine is in fact a 351W for anyone that is asking, sorry about all the confusion, I really wish I would have spent more time as a kid working on cars VS playing sports and working, But I digress. If I recall correctly the car was purchased off of Ebay [Ironic because here it is again] around January of 2001. It was a daily driver for me to go to school and work, I took the best care that I could with the car, but once I graduated High School, I joined the Marine Corp, and the car stayed at home, where it got put into storage. Before it went into storage it had a some work done to it and paint done as well. The paint job is not the greatest or most expensive. There are some minor chips, and different areas that some effects of weathering can be seen, but that being said, I have a 2004 Car that has a worse paint job than the mustang, so overall it was pretty taken care of. The car does shine up pretty nice, which overall seems to take the attention away from any flaws it may have. Also the car seems pretty straight to me. Overall I would say the car will most likely need a new paint job, but I am a perfectionist. The car as it sits now paint job wise is in FAR better condition than when I received the car in 2001. The best I can tell I would call the paint job Average. attached is a photo of the engine and part number.

Amid Mulally rumors, Bill Ford praises company's deep bench

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Bill Ford went on the offensive to combat the rumors that CEO Alan Mulally would leave Dearborn for Steve Ballmer's vacated position leading Microsoft, adding that even if the 68-year-old, former Boeing exec were to depart, the Ford executive team is in a good place.
"I'm happy [Mulally] is going to stick around. But we also feel really good about where we are in terms of succession," Ford told Bloomberg TV, according to Automotive News. Rumors first cropped up about Mulally leaving Ford when AllThingsD speculated that he was in the running, early last month. In that same report, which you can read here, Ford's board of directors reportedly okayed the CEO stepping down ahead of his planned retirement in 2014.
That opened the floodgates, culminating in a report from a few days ago that the rumors over Ballmer's successor just might be true. The story is especially troubling, as Ford hasn't had Mulally under contract, according to AN. "He's here as long as he and I would like it to happen," Ford said, "We're also cognizant of training the next generation and getting them ready to go as well."

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
