1964 1/2 Mustang Coupe V8 C4 Auto Mild Custom Engine Upgrade Clean! on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
First year production of the iconic Mustang, one of the most popular cars every built in the USA This is a great survivor Mustang that has not been wrecked, rusted, or cut up like most for sale. It has had an engine upgrade to what we assume is a 302 V8 with Ford performance dress up parts. Runs very strong, does not smoke or hesitate. The C4 Automatic shifts smooth and proper. This car is was built on March 31st of 1964 in the Dearborn MI plant. It is color coded Poppy Red with White crinkle vinyl and black appointments, standard interior. Rear axle is a 3.00:1 conventional diff. Along with Engine upgrades the last owner put on 17" Torque Thrust Chrome wheels and fresh tires. The exhaust is full duals that sound great and proper for this Mustang. Most importantly the brakes were upgraded with Wilwood Power Disc brakes front and rear. Also new shocks and suspension parts. It is great to drive with proper brakes and tight suspension. All the door and fender tags are proper and correct. We included many underside photos of this Mustang so that you can see that it is truly a rust free car. The paint is a solid 8 on 1-10 scale, with great shine, but has been touched up. I would assume it was repainted 15 years ago or more. I also think is a slight variation from the poppy red it rolled off the assembly line with. You can see in the jams in the trunk, the current color is a little lighter than original. Over all you would be proud to take this cruising or for summer car shows. It is a very solid reliable Mustang. The last owner was a Ford dealership owner that had it in his collection for many years. Please ask any questions, and inspections prior to end of auction are welcome. Zero feed back bidders, please contact us prior to bidding. We put a lot of effort into describing and photographing our cars to the highest detail. Call 503 475 8078 Josh or Matt 503 819 9007 Good Luck

Mustang Cobra Jet prototype garners $200k for charity at Barrett-Jackson
Wed, 02 Oct 2013A few weeks ago we brought you news of a one-off Mustang Cobra Jet that Ford was donating to charity. The car was set to be auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Now that auction has taken place, bringing in an impressive $200,000 for MS research.
That's a lot of zeros for a Mustang, much less one you can't even drive on the street. But the unique pony car, bearing serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1, packs a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, competition gearbox, wheelie bar, roll cage... all you could want, in short, in a turn-key drag racer. And all that for a good cause.
Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.
Is it time for American carmakers to give up on dual-clutch transmissions? [w/poll]
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Last week, in the midst of Detroit's first days seeking relief in Chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code, Automotive News contributor Larry P. Vellequette penned an editorial suggesting that American car companies raise the white flag on dual clutch transmissions and give up on trying to persuade Americans to buy cars fitted with them. Why? Because, Vellequette says, like CVT transmissions, they "just don't sound right or feel right to American drivers." (Note: In the article, it's not clear if Vellequette is arguing against wet-clutch and dry-clutch DCTs or just dry-clutch DCTs, which is what Ford and Chrysler use.) The article goes on to state that Ford and Chrysler have experimented with DCTs and that both consumers and the automotive press haven't exactly given them glowing reviews, despite their quicker shifts and increased fuel efficiency potential compared to torque-converter automatic transmissions.
Autoblog staffers who weighed in on the relevance of DCTs in American cars generally disagreed with the blanket nature of Vellequette's statement that they don't sound or feel right, but admit that their lack of refinement compared to traditional automatics can be an issue for consumers. That's particularly true in workaday cars like the Ford Focus and Dodge Dart, both of which have come in for criticism in reviews and owner surveys. From where we sit, the higher-performance orientation of such transmissions doesn't always meld as well with the marching orders of everyday commuters (particularly if drivers haven't been educated as to the transmission's benefits and tradeoffs), and in models not fitted with paddle shifters, it's particularly hard for drivers to use a DCT to its best advantage.
Finally, we also note that DCT tuning is very much an evolving science. For instance, Autoblog editors who objected to dual-clutch tuning in the Dart have more recently found the technology agreeable in the Fiat 500L. Practice makes perfect - or at least more acceptable.
