1965 Mustang
Here is a nice driver quality Mustang. I'd throw some mags or Shelby rims on it to give it some attitude.
It is a 289 A code which was a 289 4 barrel. I have copies of the original title but since the inner fender and door were changed in the body restoration, Maryland MVA assigned the car a new VIN and New ID plate. Copies of the original title and other documents show it is an A code. Maryland Title and Maryland VIN plate match.
The Pony has been partially restored with a rebuilt motor, newer paint and new interior.. The car runs and drives nicely and has power steering. It Cruises right along and turns heads everywhere. I've driven the car for an hour straight on the highway and suburbia roads with no issues. The Mustang does not pull when driving or breaking.
The body-
- Very nice flat very glossy and shiney paint
- Some very minor chips you have to hunt for and a light scratch on rear which look as if it will buff out
- Drivers door window needs adjusted. It hits rear side window slightly. The door does not appear to sag.
- Floors and trunks are incredibly solid
- MInor over spray on some window trim. Should come off with green scuff pad
- Wheel wells are all solid
- Bumpers, light bezels, lights and mirrors are all new
- Much of the chrome has been replaced with new. 1 piece of rear side window trim missing. In photo
- Trunk is incredibly solid and gas tank replaced.
- Windshield has small crack in corner. Not worth replacing
Drive train-
- Motor starts right up with no smoke or leaks - It does cough periodically (not enough to be an issue but want you to know). I'd put some new plugs and plug wires and run a couple tanks of high test through it. The car has been sitting for some time. Everything should be freshen up.
- Runs very good
- Has lots of power
- Engine bay could be detailed or chromed out.
Interior -
- New Pony interior, new carpet, and headliner.
- No wire nests beneath dash
- Dash has a few ripples - not worth replacing. I'd replace the gauge bezel and glove box with the fake wood ones just to give it some accents.
- Door panels in good shape.
Over all, this is a very nice driver quality car with very minor room for improvement. This is not a show car but a decent cruise in car I'd show. The car is sold "As is Where is" and the buyer is responsible for sall shipping arrangements or drive it home. A $500 deposit is due immediately at auction end. The balance will be paid with Cash or wire transfer within 3 days of Auction end. No refunds, no returns, no gaurantee, no negotiating. You click, you buy.

Some additional information - Yesterday the starter gear would spin but wouldn't throw forward to engage the fly wheel (symptomatic of a starter going bad) doing so intermintingly. So I installed a brand new starter and brand new battery this morning. Have receipts. Also - The radiator is brand new with stickers still on it.

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.
Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.
