----------------LOW RESERVE--------------

You are bidding on a 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback that has been in storage for several years ( about 10 ) . It was pulled out of storage a few months ago, and now I am selling it on E-bay, because I would like the vehicle to be in the care of someone who can appreciate it more than I can, and give it the love and attention it deserves. Sadly, I cannot give this car my full attention due to other responsibilities in my life.

I will be throwing in a Free Car Cover that is 1 month new. There is one hole in the car cover for the antenna to stick through.

Also 1 Brand New ABC Fire Extinguisher will be given with the vehicle, as well as an old one that came with the car when I bought it. The original A/C (Air conditioner) Unit will also be sent with the car, it is old. ( hence the reason why I believe it is original) The California registration is current up to March 18, 2014. I think it costs about $67 per year for registration. The trunk contains an old, possibly original jack with lever, and spare tire. There is also an old mustang leather fender cover for protecting your car from scratches when you work on it. you will also be getting the car with a full tank of gas, and an empty gas can of about 2 gallon capacity.

I will be including several pictures, and videos can be seen on my youtube channel for as long as this auction is current, which will be about 1 week.

The battery was purchased brand new about 6-8 months ago. The paint job on the car is in pretty good shape, but its not perfect. the driver and passenger leather seats are in pretty good shape, they were bought before the car was stored in 2002. The engine is a 351 Windsor. Most of the hardware on the top end of the engine if not all of it is in good condition, a top end rebuild was done before it was stored.

List of items that may need work:

*****The engine may require a tune up ( I honestly do not know since I am not a mechanic, but I did take the car to a certified mechanic a few days ago and he can give you more information on his opinion of the vehicle, his number is included at the bottom of this page, if you call them, ask about the red 1969 mustang that was brought in on july 5th.)

***Some minor leaks ( from my observation the leaks are at a very low rate about 2-3 drops every 20-30 minutes, I was told by the mechanic that all old cars have this issue. )

****on the interior:

dashboard has cracks in the middle and needs replaced,

guages need work:speedometer adjusted, fuel gauge in-operable,

steering wheel needs to be rotated 90 degrees to make it look normal, it is off a bit right now should be a simple fix,

center console missing bracket, and screws should be a cheap and easy fix...see photos/video,

the wood panel in front of the center console needs to be reglued/epoxied at the base...also see photo/video for this...;

clock is working, but time needs to be adjusted,

carpet near passenger seat needs to be fixed...slight gap about 1/2 and inch to 1 inch...see video titled: interior,

headliner behind driver seat needs to be finished, it never was although I had purchased it new back in 2002.

12 Disc Cd changer needs to be looked at, it does not seem to be ejecting as it should, this should be a minor fix...although with new technology you might want to get rid of it, and replace it with a smartphone connector.

trunk needs to be cleaned up, possibly new liners etc....see video entitled: trunk

letter "A" missing from the name mustang on the rear of car

minor scratches/chips throughout the car, again see photos/videos.

minor rust on wheels,

possibly rust under vehicle, ( was told by local mechanic that vehicle was solid body wise, again I am not a car person, so I am not sure what is good/bad etc, I would call it Average wear and tear for a 44 year old vehicle.)

If you have questions, contact me on Ebay, if you want to get specific answers on mechanical questions, please feel free to contact the mechanic shop I used on July 5th, information is below. I have made every effort to make this as honest as possible, all I ask for is a fair price for the vehicle, whatever current market value is for the condition it is in. All I ask is that you take a look at the photos and videos, if you like what you see, put in a bid, if not then thank you for your time.

I am not a very mechanically inclined person, but I did take this car in to a shop to fix an oil gasket leak this past week, and the mechanic stated that if anyone had any questions, he would be more than happy to explain things they wanted to know. here is the information for the autoshop that I used, which was a very good place to go to if you need auto work done.

Thank you for looking at my auction. Happy bidding.

On Jul-09-13 at 08:07:22 PDT, seller added the following information:

Please note the following: The tag on the dashboard reads VIN 9R02F105803 . I checked the door tag and it reads a different number as follows:

9R01L150798---The only possible explanation that I have is that this is in-fact a warranty number, not the VIN number, based on a picture of the tag on this website : http://www.classicponycars.com/69data.html

the image shows a door tag and reads as follows

" warranty number, not for title or registration"

Here are the rest of the door tag codes;

BODY- 65A Coupe w/ Standard Int., Buckets

COLOR- W Meadowlark Yellow

interior trim- 2G Ivy Gold, Standard Buckets

date code- 27B Feb 27, 1969 manufacture date

DSO District Code- 71 Los Angeles

axle- 3 - 2.79:1 Standard Differential

trans- W- C-4 Automatic

Thank you.

Ok, so I checked with the mechanic Nathan at Ken's Auto Repair, and he confirmed that his expert opinion is that the Engine is a 351. While I was there I got a chance to put the car up on the lift, and get a cool video of the under part of the car which I am currently uploading to the youtube channel. [ it will be done in about 30 minutes, currently 1300 or 1PM PST] . Also I responded to a question but it did not get posted on here, so here it is for your information a clarification on the door tag codes VS a Marti Report for the Vehicle, which will be included in the sale when the vehicle ships.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, I was looking through some papers and found that I had a copy a Marti Report already done. The door tags I have posted at the bottom of the link. The marti report will be included in the sale and will be sent along with the car. As far as the engine goes I will double check with the mechanic, but I was always under the impression that it was a 351. You are right though according to the VIN and marti report, the car was manufactured as a 302-2v Engine. I am thinking that somewhere along the line a previous owner converted the vehicle to a 351, that is the only explanation I can come up with at the moment. The Marti report differs from the tags in the following areas:
63A Mustang Sportsroof instead of BODY- 65A Coupe w/ Standard Int., Buckets
4A Black Clarion Knit Vinyl Hi-Back Bucket Seats instead of interior trim- 2G Ivy Gold, Standard Buckets
23J Scheduled for build: Septermber 23, 1968 instead of date code- 27B Feb 27, 1969 manufacture date
72 San Jose Ordering District instead of DSO District Code- 71 Los Angeles

On Jul-12-13 at 20:32:53 PDT, seller added the following information:

Again the questions and answers is not working properly so I am posting this information as a response to a question.

Good Day, I have some pictures of the top of the engine, and I think thanks to your questions we can finally put to rest once and for all that this is a 351W.  The intake is an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap part number 7581.  According to the website :
 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-7581/applications/?prefilter=1  
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-7581/

This part is designed for :
Make:FORD
Beginning Year:1969
Ending Year:1997
Engine Type:V8
Liter:5.8
CID:351
Engine Size:5.8L/351
Engine Family:Ford small block Windsor
Carburetor Mounting:4-barrel square bore
Cylinder Head Style (application):Windsor

So that should confirm that the engine is in fact a 351W for anyone that is asking, sorry about all the confusion, I really wish I would have spent more time as a kid working on cars VS playing sports and working, But I digress.  If I recall correctly the car was purchased off of Ebay [Ironic because here it is again] around January of 2001.  It was a daily driver for me to go to school and work, I took the best care that I could with the car, but once I graduated High School, I joined the Marine Corp, and the car stayed at home, where it got put into storage.  Before it went into storage it had a some work done to it and paint done as well.  The paint job is not the greatest or most expensive.  There are some minor chips, and different areas that some effects of weathering can be seen, but that being said, I have a 2004 Car that has a worse paint job than the mustang, so overall it was pretty taken care of.  The car does shine up pretty nice, which overall seems to take the attention away from any flaws it may have.  Also the car seems pretty straight to me.  Overall I would say the car will most likely need a new paint job, but I am a perfectionist.  The car as it sits now paint job wise is in FAR better condition than when I received the car in 2001.  The best I can tell I would call the paint job Average.  attached is a photo of the engine and part number.

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.

Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
