They say anything can be rebuilt.well maybe.. I bought this for parts for a project that Im working on. I removed the Instrument controls ( wiper switch, lite switch, lighter, pedal assembly, engine & trany.). the rest is up for sale. the car is in bad shape when I jacked it up I almost broke it! the frame rails are shot. floor pans are rusted bad. it would take a LOT to rebuild. but there are many useable parts here. including all glass, window regulators, wiring, I unplugged the switches I took out did not cut anything, but did take the harness from wiper switch to wiper motor. the car according to numbers was a 6 cyl. but it had a V-8 in it which I removed. some one must have converted it to V-8 before, it still has 8cyl frame mounts, accerlator linkage, and all 5 lug suspension, including the spindles, and steering linkage. car still retains a good steering column and gear box. I am running this as a NO RESERVE auction so high bid wins. would prefer full payment via paypal. within 7 days. or cash on pick-up if earlier. either way would like a deposit of 150.00 in 48 hrs. the car dose come with a title that matches fender stampings and door tag.... BUT READ CLOSLEY
THE CAR WAS LAST TITLED IN NOV. 1994, THEN SOLD OR TRADED TO A DEALED IN JUNE 1995, THEN REASSIGNED TO ANOTHER DEALER DEC. 1996, THAT DEALER SIGNED OFF ON IT AND LEFT THE PURCHASER NAME OPEN. IT IS A FLORIDA TITLE......
door tag reads as follows. body 65A, color A, trim 25, date 27R, dso 33, axle 3, trans 1.
please look at pictures closely. what you see is what you get. I strongly believe this is a parts car, but that's strickly up to winner. winning bid is selling price. there is no buy-it-now
will answer any questions I can but be reasonable, I don't expect a lot for thiscar so I don't expect to lay under it and take pictures of the rust.. thanks and good luck bidding 8 inch rearend..

have had a couple people ask about a two wheel dolley to transport the car, I would strongly urge the winner to use a trailer. look closely at picture # 12, I think it would be dangerous to try to pull car with that much force on the front end, as the fender would be holding car together. when I picked it up it wasn't that bad as I believe the engine & trany was acting as a 3 point brace for the car... also YES the bucket seats are both passenger seats!!! I don't know what previous owner was thinking there!!!!!

I WANT TO ADD DETAILS. I answered a question about the dash pad incorrectly. the dash pad is black but appears to have been either painted or dyed. If you look through windshield down at pad you can see red where it appears the sun faded it.. it is not cracked or warped, but it does have a 1/2 crack on drivers side where the chrome trim under pad ends next to window pillar

Next Ford Mustang to drop 400 pounds
Thu, 15 Aug 2013The Ford Mustang is already the lightest of the current crop of muscle cars, at around 3,600 pounds for a GT coupe with the six-speed manual transmission. That's almost 260 pounds less than a Chevrolet Camaro SS and about 450 pounds less than a Dodge Challenger R/T, which means the Mustang has a pretty big advantage when it comes to handling, braking, accelerating and economy. More good news: The next Mustang will be even lighter.
According to a report from Edmunds, the sixth-generation Mustang, which is set to debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, will shed an additional 400 pounds of body fat. That 11-percent weight reduction will be thanks to lightweight materials, with a particular focus on using stronger, but less material in construction. Aluminum will feature heavily, but Edmunds' inside source warns that there is "nothing terribly exotic" coming to the original pony car.
The other big news is that the new Mustang will be smaller overall. It's going to be 15-inches shorter than the 188.5-inch Mustang on sale today, while it'll also be 6.5 inches narrower. Shorter overhangs, both in the front and rear, are also good signs for those that want an agile Mustang.
New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
