This is a 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback being offered for sale from an estate. The owner had just finished this resto-mod when he passed away. He built it to look like a 1969 Boss 302. It comes with an spare flat hood and cowl already painted like the 69 Boss cars. He never added the 69 Boss side stripes. It has undergone a complete rotisserie restoration with many correct Boss styling points. Everything is new or rebuilt. It is done in a champagne silver poly base/clear with black stripes and red deluxe interior. Its options include: A fresh built 408 stroker engine with a Skat crank, hydraulic roller cam, roller rockers, AFR aluminum heads,ceramic coated headers, aluminized exhaust, 4-speed transmission, 9-inch rear with 3:50 gears, power steering, power disc brakes, new deluxe red interior, rear spoiler, rear slats, and custom 17-inch wheels with Pirelli tires. He just finished this car and had only run it for testing purposes. The one bad point about the car is that the gentleman painted the car himself, and with the high pearl content, it turned out cloudy in areas. It would be considered driver quality paint. If you wanted it to be a show car, the exterior would have to be repainted. It looks great from a distance and in photos, but it is cloudy when looking at it up close. With that being said, the reserve is set low and the buyer will have plenty of room if they decide to repaint. The car is available for inspection anytime during normal business hours. You can fly into XNA regional airport, where I will be glad to pick you up to take a look. There are no written or implied warranties for this item. The buyer is responsible for all transport costs. The payment is to be made within 7 days of auction's end and payment must be made with bank certified funds or wire transfer. Thanks, and good luck bidding.

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
Watch this lead sled go rallying in Finland
Thu, 19 Jun 2014Custom 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.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
