66 Mustang White Rust Colored Project Or Parts Car Free Rust V 8 Engine 3 Speed on 2040-cars
El Cajon, California, United States
Well Labor Day is nearly over so ....continuing the Spring Valley Mustang collection sell off, today we post a 1966 Mustang sedan which is either a parts car or a restoration about to happen; you decide. The back story; this one was purchased by the current owner / seller about 1994 from the widow of a fellow who had started to restore the car and then died before finishing it. He had rebuilt the V-8 engine and three speed transmission and started stripping and sanding in preparation for painting when his health went south and everything stopped. When purchased it ran and drove but had not been started since, until yesterday, when I put in a hot battery and drizzled some gas down the two barrel carb and cranked er up. It will not run for long or even idle of course but it does fire and for a brief few seconds sounds sweet. The gas tank is long since evaporated and the throttle plate is frozen so there is no revving it. The pictures speak for themselves but for the record I must say that every exterior panel that could or has collected rain or dew has rust; doors, hood, top, and places in between. See the pictures. The one redeeming thing? The unibody floor pan is 100% original and pretty much rust free. That is to say there are no holes through the floor. There is some minor surface rust but it will clean up easily. The dash is factory original as well with no cutting or drilling trying to make a modern radio fit. The stock AM radio is in place. The shifter and gauges and steering wheel appear to be original as well. The two brackets from the fire wall to the shock towers are missing and look to be recently removed, another reason the sellers are motivated to move these cars and parts out; mysterious disappearances! Though not seen in any of the photos the factory air cleaner is here and comes with the car. The seats have exploded at the seams and are sun scorched. The chrome is weather pitted. The front bumper is missing, another mysterious disappearance! All four tires are garbage, only two will hold air, so winner will have to bring some wheels and tires to load it. Or I will assist or load with forklift. So, is it worth saving and restoring? Or is it a parts car? Buyers Choice!! If you have the time and the skills it absolutely can be saved as the bottom is honest, firm, and square. If all you need is the drive train, bid accordingly. It goes to a new home at the end of the sale. Personal inspection is recommended, no, urged, and I am available most any day, by appointment. Otherwise please ask questions before you bid. The sale is absolute and as - is with no refunds, period. We are here to sell it not send it out "on approval". We can and will hold it for free, once paid for, for thirty days freee while transportation is being arranged otherwise it's $25 per day after that. Clear California title in Non-Op status so no fees are due. The beginning bid is what we have been offered locally by a family "friend" / fellow collector, who hasn't bought any of those posted yet! And, as before, we are using eBay to offer it to the eBay universe in order to maximize the return for the seller and, despite the inevitable emails, and despite saying so here someone will ask anyway, I absolutely will not end it early. For those of you following these sales the past few weeks the next car up will be a rusty 66 Ranchero (V-8 automatic) followed by another 66 Mustang sedan (6 cyl ) with interesting flared front fenders (another great story) and all of the remaining loose parts - bits- and pieces. So check back in a few days! |

Autoblog joins Elon Musk and Danica Patrick in accepting ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Unless you've been living in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods for the last couple of weeks or abstain entirely from social media activities, you've probably seen someone you know dump a bucket of ice and water over their own head recently. While the origins of the so-called Ice Bucket Challenge are shrouded in a history typical of Internet memes, its effectiveness in raising money and awareness for the ALS Association has been astonishing.
Celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sports, technology and more have generated untold millions of video views in support of the organization that is helping patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), and generated a much needed influx of cash, as well. Recent reports have some $15.6M raised in the last two weeks.
Of course, the big-hearted world of automotive celebrities has taken part in the drenching charity effort as well. Follow on below for some of the biggest names on four wheels getting iced for charity, with a smattering of your favorite Autobloggers thrown in for good measure.
Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.
Ford Mustang challenges Lamborghini in amazing drift battle
Fri, Dec 18 2015Engines scream and tires billow with smoke as Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Daigo Saito stage a drift battle through an abandoned Japanese resort that looks like a Russian village in this stunning clip. The high-performance ballet of these amazing machines sliding around makes this one of the best videos of the year. To fight this duel, Gittin straps into his 550-horsepower Ford Mustang, and Saito meets the pony car's challenge with a drift-prepped Lamborghini Murcielago. The drivers hit a curving road and show expert car control as the men slide these very different vehicles just inches from each other. Eventually, night descends, and they add some fire to the scene to give the stunts a more apocalyptic look. The production values for this short clip are phenomenal, and the editing makes the viewer feel right in the middle of the action. If you want to get behind the scenes of this impressive display of drifting, Speedhunters did a great job capturing the event in photos. Related Video:
