For sale is a 1969 Mustang Mach 1.  I have owned for 20 years.  It has all the original panels and had a complete rotisserie restoration about 8 years ago. This car originally came from Georgia in the mid 80's so had very little rust which has all been professionally repaired. This is an original very rare 1969 Champane Gold Mach 1 with a 351 Windsor and a manual transmission. Over $19,000 was spent on parts which I have receipts for. All wearable parts were replaced.  After it was completed it won several first place awards at local shows.  The body had about 75,000 miles on it before it was restored. The odometer was set back to zero when everything was rebuilt. It has about 6,000 miles on it since it was completely rebuilt. 

I am the owner of a Mustang restoration business and this is my personal car.  Our website is "Mustangcraftsmen.com".  There are more pictures of the car on that site.  I am also a mechanical engineer and a Master Certified Ford Service Manager. This car was restored as a driver and the chassis is painted with POR 15 which is not concourse correct but provides a durable coating for a driven car and seals out rust.  All internal seams have been rustproofed.  The engine is original and numbers matching. The original manual transmission has been replaced with a Tremec T5 5-speed. The 5 speed conversion and hydraulic clutch cost over $5,000.00. There are some minor modifications to make the car easier to drive and improve power which can be removed if desired. I have been a judge for several Mustang shows and have noticed a lot of '69 Mustang's for sale are not detailed correctly, however this one is.

The following is a list of pertinent information.

Body- All original panels, media blasted and repainted in it's original Champagne Gold in base with clear coat, rotisserie nut and bolt restoration, front spoiler, rear wing, rear window louvers, LED sequential tail lights, Magnum 500 wheels..

Engine - Original 351 W bored .030 over, larger valves, hand ported heads, comp cams extreme energy cam (gives increased power but retains a smooth idle), Pertronix ignitor, Edelbrock 600 CFM carburetor with electic choke, Edelbrok aluminum intake manifold, short Headman headers, Dynomax mufflers and a larger radiator designed for an AC car (avoids overheating).

Transmission - Tremec T5 5-speed, Hurst shift handle, Centerforce clutch and hydraulic clutch mechanism.

Rear Axle - Original 9 inch rebuilt with Ford traction loc, 3.25:1 ratio.

Suspension - All new with grease fittings, larger front sway bar, rear sway bar added and KYB gas shocks.

Interior - All vinyl and carpeting replaced, new chrome plating of plastic on dash and clock bezel (cost $500), modern CD player and stereo (can be replaced with original radio if desired), tachometer on column, and bolt in door glass.

I restored this car to be a reliable driver and it has been driven enough to get all the problems resolved. I have taken it on several 300 mile trips.  This is a 9 out of 10 car.  This was restored to be enjoyed and used as a driver and not a concours show car.  There are minor imperfections in the paint and it shows the use of being driven on summer weekends for the past several years. It could be brought to concours level but would require more detailing.  I rebuilt this to drive and not have to be trailered everywere.  This is a reliable classic Mustang that turns heads but does not require constant repairs like many other classic cars.  When it is stored for the winter it starts right up every spring and is ready to go.  The 5 speed transmission is a joy to drive, the 351 is much faster than stock, and the exhaust has a deep tone without being too loud. 

If you would like any more information please email me at beardpa@aol.com or call Paul at 989-860-3948. I also have a car trailer and would consider delivering the car a reasonable distance for an additional fee.

Ford spotted testing new Focus RS at the Nurburgring

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford is expected to be launching a revised version of the Focus ST soon, but the latest snapshots from our spy photographers at the Nürburgring suggest that the Blue Oval is already working on an even more potent example: the new Focus RS.
Though the partially disguised test mule is wearing an ST badge (along with a Dewey sticker that makes us wonder what adventures Huey and Louie are up to and what manner of duck-tail rear spoiler they may be wearing), there are several tell-tale signs that something else is afoot here. There's a larger front air dam, bigger brake calipers, dual exhaust tips (instead of the central exhaust on the ST) and a reshaped wing protruding from the trailing edge of the roof.
That may all be well and fine, but what's under the hood? We don't know yet for sure, but word has it that Ford is preparing to port over the 2.3-liter turbo four offered in the new Mustang, where it packs 305 horsepower and almost as much torque - potentially retuned to produce even more for the top-of-the-line Focus, which could channel it all to the front wheels like the last model or pack an all-wheel drive system. The Global C platform on which the Focus is based does, after all, also underpin AWD models like the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC.

All the details on Plug In 2014 electric vehicle conference you could ever want

Wed, Aug 6 2014

One of the best parts of the Plug In 2014 Conference in San Jose, CA last week was getting to listen in on thoughts about the state of the plug-in vehicle industry from people who have been involved with it for ages. They bristle when you call them the "Old Guard" (learned that one the hard way), but these are the people who have been through a number of ups and downs with plug-in vehicles, so they've got what we call perspective. Their knowledge was on full display in the three plenary sessions, which the Plug In Conference organizers have given us permission to share with you. Each is at least 90 minutes long, so make sure to set some time aside to enjoy the discussions after you download them (any help with making them streamable would be appreciated). Follow us below to see what we've got to offer. Opening Plenary (audio link). "The Road Ahead – Delivering on a Vision for Sustainable Transportation." Moderated by Mark Duvall (director of energy utilization at EPRI, the Electric Power Research Institute, and a long-time EV advocate), this panel featured: Jack Broadbent, Executive Officer / APCO, Bay Area Air Quality Management District Pat Romano, President & Chief Executive Officer, ChargePoint, Inc. Aaron Johnson, Senior Director, Customer Programs, Pacific Gas and Electric Company Brendan Jones, Director, EV Sales Operations & Infrastructure Deployment, Nissan North America, Inc. David W. Cash, Commissioner, MassDEP Dan Sperling, Director, Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Davis Highlights: Educating drivers to "get over the gas station" is a key strategy, how Level 2 and DC Fast Charging are really "a new paradigm," that there have been well over 214,000 EVs sold in US as of July 2014 and where Nissan sees huge potential for more EV sales (Northeast US and medium-size cities like St. Louis and Pittsburgh). Wednesday Morning Plenary (audio link). "Getting to the Mass Market – A Discussion of Ideas for Widespread PEV Adoption." Moderated by John Gartner, research director for smart transportation at Navigant Research.

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction

Sat, Sep 9 2023

Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics
