Original "C" Code (2) Barrel V-8. 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. Project car needs Interior, Mechanical i.e. Brakes, Shocks, Drive Train and Motor inspected rebuilt as needed. The car was purchased in Oklahoma and from all I know and was told it was always a Oklahoma Car. As far as I know and from its apparent solid condition I do not believe it has ever been exposed to salt. It has been stored since 1987 in dry storage, and came out of a garage of the previous owner who had been planning on restoring it for several years, he may have done work on it. The motor turned by hand last time I tried it approx. (1) year ago. The car rolls easily. Note: I purchased and never proceeded to Refurbish/Rebuild as planned. Has some version of 4 speed top loader and some type of 9 inch rear end. I do not know any specifics of the Transmission or Rear End applications. The car is as I purchased it in the mid 1980's. It does appear that the drivers side floor pan was replaced/repaired previous to my ownership. Otherwise the body is very solid from all points that I could see. Please review all pictures carefully and ask any questions you have about the car/pictures etc. As seen in the pictures the floor pan repair probably needs some repair, and it had appears it had traction bars etc at some point. It has a Lakewood Scatter Shield Bell Housing installed. Like with all projects there could be hidden issues that I am not aware of, i.e. I never stripped paint etc so I do not know what is under the paint etc.
In summation, Solid project Car, Stored at least (26) years in dry storage. Needs total Restoration. Has Interior seats and fold down parts. Also has the original vents and many small parts in the Trunk. Has Motor (no carburetor). Transmission (Not Original), Rear end (Not Original), Tires (Need Replacing). Do not Know if Gas tank is viable or not. Aftermarket bell Housing (Lakewood). No Carpet, Headliner, or dash pad etc.
I have a Clear Oklahoma Title. The car was transported by trailer to Michigan when I went overseas and has been stored at that location since 1986.
It is possible that it could be delivered for small fee within a few hundred miles of central Michigan
The car is being sold as is no warranty expressed or implied.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers
Wed, 30 Apr 2014Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.
Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70
Sun, 20 Jul 2014We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.
