They make TV shows about "pickers" finding things like this in the back of some rancher's barn. Now it is your turn to find dusty gold.
Farm fresh, stored for about 10 years. The 10 years before that I drove it less than ten times. This is a very straight Mustang convertible.
Let me try to answer the questions before they are asked:
- I am the second owner of this car. My name is currently on the title. I have owned it for about 30 years. For the last 10 years, I kept it under cover. I put less than 30k miles on it in 30 years. The odometer does not show 100ks but I am certain it has over 100k but less than 200k.
- I live in the central valley, an area that is dry and dusty. That is great for storing vehicles because no rust and no salt on the roads. As far as I know, it has never left California. It was made in the Bay Area and the original owners lived in the central valley.
- It runs. I started it but only ran it for about 15 seconds. I believe the carb will need a little work and fresh gas in the tank. I just wanted to be certain it would run. It is a 250 straight 6. It will take a little work to make this a daily driver.
- It is a 3 speed on the floor.
- The body is straight. As far as I know, the body is all original. It is not a patchwork quilt of different parts. I had it painted 30 years ago and it needs a paint job again. (The car is very photogenic.) There is surface rust (easily sanded off) where the paint has chipped or cracked. Some small pitting on the chrome. I washed the car before the pictures and that is the only rust I found.
- The fabric of the top is a loss. It will need a new top. It is an automatic top but it has never worked the entire time I have owned it. All the steel frame is straight and ready for a new skin.
- The interior is in very good shape. The seats have no rips. The carpet is in good shape. Dusty and musty from storage. (I did not detail the interior before the pictures. That is straight from storage.) The dash has a crack. It does not have the original radio, I was young and stupid and put in a Sparkomatic. I did not cut any sheet metal or interior pieces so putting a stock radio back in will be very easy.
- The driver side door will not open. It feels like it will not unlock. I believe it is a linkage issue.
- I have another wiring harness for this car, spare, jack, and the original hubcaps. (Also, 4 additional hubcaps for Mustangs.) Those will go with the car. The tires are older. I would suggest replacing them before driving.
- I will try to answer any questions. If I miss your question, do not assume.
- I do not offer shipping or delivery. You are 100% responsible. It is offered where is and as is. You will be expected to move the car 10 business days after payment.
- I do not accept money orders, personal checks, or other easily forged forms of payment. I do accept cash and paypal. A $500 deposit is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction. Full payment is expected within 10 days of the close of the auction.
- I reserve the right to cancel this auction before any bids are placed.

Gary Cooper's 1935 Duesenberg SSJ fetches record price at Pebble Beach
Mon, Aug 27 2018The 1935 Duesenberg SSJ formerly owned by Gary Cooper sold for a jaw-dropping $22 million over the weekend at the Gooding & Co. Pebble Beach auction, setting a record for the most valuable pre-war car ever sold at auction. It also appears to have become the most expensive American collector car ever sold at auction, eclipsing the very first Shelby Cobra ever made, which sold for $13.75 million in 2016. The Duesenberg was also the lone American-made entrant in the list of top 10 sellers, which was crowded with the names Ferrari and Porsche. You have to go all the way down the list to No. 21 to find the next American car: a 1930 Packard 734 Speedster Phaeton, which sold for a mere $1.127 million. All told, Gooding & Co. said it realized more than $116.5 million in auction sales over the weekend, with a whopping 25 cars sold for north of $1 million, an 84 percent sales rate and an average transaction price of $947,174. Clearly this is how the other half 1 percent lives. Gooding & Co. said there were five world-record sales at the auction. Joining the Duesenberg were a 1955 Ferrari 500 Mondial Series II, which sold for $5.005 million; a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta, $6.6 million; a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale, $3.41 million; and a one-of-two 1966 Ferrari Dino Berlinetta GT, $3.08 million. Oh, and that 1969 Ford Bronco test vehicle we told you about? The one that was rebadged by Holman & Moody as a Bronco Hunter? It sold for $121,000, which was well below the expected range of $180,000 to $220,000. Perhaps it was the presence of all those gorgeous Porsche Spyders and Ferraris that meant collectors weren't interested in boxy, utilitarian off-roaders. View 24 Photos Gooding and Co. had expected the convertible Duesenberg coupe to go for more than $10 million. It was one of only two of its kind built by Duesenberg — the other having gone to Clark Gable — with a specially shortened, 125-inch wheelbase and a supercharged straight-eight with double overhead cams, able to produce around 400 horsepower and a top speed of 140 miles per hour. It features a lightweight open-roadster bobtail body produced by LaGrande out of Connersville, Ind. The car was also owned at one point by race driver Briggs Cunningham.
Ford confirms launch of new Tourneo vans and Ecosport in Europe for Geneva
Sun, 24 Feb 2013We've already seen plenty of what the Geneva Motor Show will have in store for us in less than two weeks, but most of the confirmed debuts that were announced so far have generally been luxury or performance cars. Ford, on the other hand, will be showing off a couple of its new family-friendly models for European buyers to enjoy.
On the larger side of things, the full range of Tourneo vans (shown above) will be on display, including the introduction of the new Tourneo Courier model, but Ford will also be showing off the all-new EcoSport crossover, which is based on the automaker's Global B platform and will be positioned beneath the Kuga, better known here as the Escape. The subcompact EcoSport was originally unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show last April.
Ford builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.
