1965 Ford Mustang Fastback
Up for auction is a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. This mustang features a rebuilt 289, 4-speed, with power steering, power brakes and A/C.
This fastback received a complete restoration 5 years ago.
The metal work is as follows: New front floor pans as well as a new cowl & firewall patch. All patch work was welded both sides, ground and filed, resulting in a very nice finish. New left and right full quarters, new left and right door shells and new left and right fenders. New wiring harness throughout the car (under-dash harness, engine harness, headlight harness and complete pigtail harness, etc.). New back-up lights, headlights, tail and side marker lights. New interior, head liner, and seats, etc.
All courtesy lights and guages work. I prefer mechanical oil and temp guages so I have aftermarket oil and temp located in the console. The electric harnesses are still in the engine bay and could easily be hooked up to respective sending units and used if preferred, as both electric oil and temp dash guages do work.
The engine (original to the car) was rebuilt, bored .30 over with all basic requirements that come with a rebuild, but not an overhaul. The original transmission (c-4) was used for a boat anchor and replaced with a Borg Warner t-10 with new linkage and shifter. The new flywheel was balanced with the engine rotating assembly at the time of the engine rebuild. The original 8" rear end (2:78-1) was re-geared with new 3.25-1 open, which is more in line with the 4-speed transmission. Drum brakes were replaced with power disc brakes from a late model mustang. Front brakes are Granada power disc with re-designed new spindels to eliminate "bump-steer" which is common on 65-66 Granada swaps. During the rebuild, I welded in Shelby over-ride bars to rear torque boxes. This was fine for road racing but the ride was too harsh so I cut them out and a couple years later and replaced them with Lakewood traction bars.
As the pics show, the car was down to bare bones with all new lines (brakes/fuel) and weather stripping added. I used the trim and stainless pieces that were in good shape and replaced the remaining pieces with aftermarket as needed. I replaced the heat and air with Classic Auto Air so all the duct and related controls/wiring was new. New radio and speakers with input and USB jacks for an Ipod. The doors shut and the windows roll up and down easily. After 2 years of driving this car, I decided to improve the cars performance, so I pulled the engine and put a Pro-Comp aluminum head and intake, and a Erson cam and lifters. (Cam is Erson E212421 / lobe separation 108 / lift .504 / duration 296). The carb is a Holly 600 CMF Double Pump / mechanical secondary-manual choke with a 66 primary and a 73 secondary. Large aluminum radiator, 180 degree thermostat (with no overheat problems in heavy traffic with the A/C going).
Overall the car is user friendly and is a beautiful vehicle for a daily-drive (as it occasionally goes to Wal-mart). Minimum scratches with no road rash to the tires or wheels. Exterior trim is nice. Car is not Barrett/Jackson caliber but is a very high-end driver.
I personally built this car (welding, paint, interior, motor work, etc.) so I can answer all questions, so please email me if you would like to know any other specifics. I'm the old guy in the pics.
On Mar-22-13 at 11:57:47 PDT, seller added the following information:
I forgot to mention, from the time of build, the exhaust is new stock replacements from the exhaust manifolds to the tailpipes.
I've also uploaded 112 build photos to my Photobucket website. Please email me for a link to my web page as EBay will not allow me to post it on this listing. Thanks.

Ford Mustang SVT caught looking fierce on the 'Ring
Tue, 15 Jul 2014The next-generation Ford Mustang SVT is one of the most anticipated performance cars of the moment. We've already seen it testing multiple times, but it has always been covered is some very heavy camouflage. However, Ford has just given us our best view yet of the new muscle car. According to our spy photographer, the Mustang was at the Nürburgring for high-speed testing, which meant that the Blue Oval had to remove most of the heavy obfuscation that the SVT has worn previously.
The stylish, more revealing camo makes picking out some of the more interesting details about the SVT rather easy. Starting from the front, there is the big hood scoop to feed cold air to its still mysterious engine. You can also immediately make out the model's new grille and lower front air dam. It has a vertical piece running from the bottom of the hood all the way to the ground. The aggressive styling almost gives the 'Stang the look of two fangs ready to bite down. The hood seam is even taped off here, which shows us its outline.
Around the side, it appears that the front and rear fenders are wider than stock, and the sills are certainly much larger. You can also just make out the SVT's bigger brakes behind its black wheels with a polished lip. Finally, at the rear, things appear mostly stock other than the diffuser that the exhaust outlets nestle into.
Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak
Thu, 16 Jan 2014A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
