I am being transferred out of state and have three other Mustangs to deal with, so this one goes.   This is being offered as a great parts source car (a donor for your project) or if so, make yours the donor and build on top of this one.  Since I was raised to be honest,  it must be stated upfront that this car has many, many new parts,  there are a couple of areas that need disclosing:

1.  The front end steering/suspension probably needs lower control arms, ball joints replaced.  (The front end tie rods are new). 

2.  The engine is a 1979 351W with the electronic ignition components in use (computer module is new). However,  this engine has started to display serious sounds that may even be failing main bearings on the crank shaft, along with some smoke now. This is the engine that came with the car so its history is unknown but I do feel it is on the way to necessary rebuild.

3.  Windshild wipers don't work -- as switch needs replacing.

So,  I make no warranties and am offering the car as a parts car.  Please do not ask me to part single parts. I will only ignore such requests.  This car is offered as a whole.

This car stated life in the New York area as a base Copper/Gold Grande with a 302 automatic.

 

Body condition:  Good.

Details:  Hood has one ding in it,  the front quarters are from other cars.  Underside is solid with usual surface rust but no holes or rot.  Rear truck lid has a ding in one corner.

The following are the many new parts:

Most of the interior is new (repro in most cases).  The back seat upholstry has a blemish on the lower seat. 

Includes Kenwood KDC-HD450U radio inside glove box.

New front tie rods.

New tires less than 200 miles use) and  new vintage wheels

New tail lights lens,  and new lens for all parking lights

The entire rear end (8 inch) was swapped with a indentical better condition rear end from another 71 Mustang

New shocks all around,  new rear leaf springs, new mufflers.

Front wheels have new disk brake rotors and wheel bearings.

Door handles, locks are new.

The original Ford AM/FM radio works.

New TCI C4  transmission with less than 100 miles on it.  The drive shaft is new.

Tac and instrutment cluster added by previous owner.

On the engine:  Recent battery,  new altenator, power steering pump, belts, water pump, engine mounts, and harmonic balancer.  New rebuilt autolite 2 Barrel carb., spark wires.

Again, this is being offered as a PARTS Car. The tires and wheels alone are worth the starting price.

Please do not ask me to part single parts. I will ignore all such requests.

Why the 2015 Detroit Auto Show will be the best since The Crisis

Tue, Dec 30 2014

The Detroit Auto Show clearly has its swagger back, and the 2015 edition will be a veritable feast for the enthusiast senses. We're talking serious performance, and it will be exhibited in a variety of forms. Sports cars. Supercars. Muscle-bound luxury cars. They're all set for splashy debuts in January in the Motor City. It's another signpost that companies have recovered from the global economic crisis that gripped the industry from 2008-09. For a while, automakers played it safe at Detroit and other shows. Environmentally friendly cars were important, especially for General Motors and Chrysler that were living on loans from Uncle Sam. Ford, Toyota and other companies generally focused on their best-selling or core models. With a few notable exceptions, recent auto shows have been a bit more buttoned-down than in the past. Boring probably isn't the right word, but austerity has been reality. That's changing. Car companies are making money. Sales are up. Aside from the many nagging recalls – and they are notable – the industry now has the time and energy to make performance cars a priority. That will be offered in hard evidence in Detroit. A year from now when we look back at this auto show, we'll sum it up with one word: Horsepower. But make no mistake, this isn't frivolous. Sports and luxury cars are expensive. They're profitable. They boost images and highlight strengths. With that in mind, here are five significant performance-oriented reveals to watch for when the show kicks off in less than two weeks. 2016 Acura NSX Acura's reborn NSX is a strong bet to earn plenty of votes for our Editors' Choice awards. It's one of the most anticipated – and strung-out – reveals of the year. Think back: we actually saw an NSX concept at the 2012 Detroit show, and Acura has spent the last three years teasing the car in a variety of ways. The slow burn, however, means we know a lot about the NSX. It's will use a mid-mounted twin-turbo hybrid powertrain and run with all-wheel drive. It will also wear an innovative zirconium e-coat paint, a new paint process that Honda says is more environmentally friendly. Honda has also said it will build the new NSX in Ohio, where a large part of the car's development work has been done. The original NSX was produced from 1990-2005 and helped establish Acura's performance credentials in the United States. It was a landmark car and a shot across the bow of Ferrari, Lamborghini and others.

Ford Mustang, F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator recalled

Wed, Apr 27 2016

The Basics: Ford will recall 201,900 examples of the 2011-2012 F-150, 2012 Expedition, 2012 Mustang, and 2012 Lincoln Navigator. The affected vehicles have the 6R80 transmission. Of the total, there are 84,000 of them in the United States and 17,900 in Canada. The Problem: The output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame can force the gearbox to downshift into first gear. If this happens at high speed, it could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. Injuries/Deaths: There are no reported injuries, but Ford know of three accidents related to this problem. The Fix: Dealers will update the powertrain control module software to eliminate the problem, and they'll also replace the transmission lead frame. If You Own One: Ford will begin notifying affected customers by mail on May 23.

Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall and customer satisfaction program for certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles in North America to update powertrain control module software and inspect for certain diagnostic trouble codes Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 202,000 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles for a potential issue with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame. Under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles are equipped with a 6R80 transmission and include certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant and Kansas City Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through March 9, 2012; 2012 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Dec. 19, 2011; Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Feb.

Former Ford CEO Mulally won't run for president

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Alan Mulally will not be following his successful term as president and CEO of Ford Motor Company with a run at an even bigger presidency. Rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would make a run at the White House sprouted after his apparent dodging of a reporter's questions about a potential candidacy during a forum in Indianapolis.
"I really think it's important that we all pull together. We really need to pull together around a compelling vision for our country and a comprehensive strategy to do it and work together. We really need to do it," Mulally said at the conference, according to The Detroit News.
He's since clarified by saying, "[I'm] honored at the suggestion, but that is not a role I am considering."
