1965 Mustang Fastback restored to driver status, original 289 missing, used 200 6 cyl driveline and floors taken from a California coupe welded in using factory locations, all panels original ford factory including rust free floors, doors, roof, rockers and fenders. Frame rails zero rust. Quarters were replaced with aftermarket at belt line. Vehicle had many dents in all panels except roof is perfect, removed dents and used 3M light weight body filler very sparingly to level (will block to dime thickness in dent areas when complete), Hood leading edge was rolled over and pointed down did repair but does have a lot of filler in it, will need more sanding/ shaping if you want to save or will need replace. Block sanded car (one time) and covered in PPG epoxy primer. Will need to be blocked and leveled again for paint. Quarter tops need more sanding. Doors open and close as they should, gaps better than most I see in car shows or calendars, Glass does have deep pitting and scratches, windshield is original Ford. Quarter vents disassembled/ cleaned/ lubed and reassembled, removed all lead from vehicle as it was cracked in areas, all exterior lamps working, all interior lamps working with exception to interior quarter lamps as no wiring. I do have nice original passenger door interior trim panel, drivers is a custom.
New: has new water pump, fuel pump, distributor, master and wheel cylinder, brake and fuel lines, Fuel tank and sending unit, high energy coil and Petronix ignition upgrade (Ihate points) , new front seal for trans, all new gaskets for engine but rear main seal, that does have a drip, new headliner, new gaskets for windshield, battery is 5 years old but kept on a trickle charger, reman carb purchased 3 years ago, was just cleaned out prior to posting ad. Runs great drive home, trailer or I will help load with shipper.
Needs: window adjustment or regulators ( tight operation), right axle seal has light leak, outer drip moldings missing, trap door missing, kick panels missing, carpet poor fit as only molded for trans tunnel not foot wells, seat covers front torn.
Great start for completion or drive as is (that is what I was going to do). Blank slate for Cobra motor and mustang II suspension etc... if that is your thing.
Please email with questions, I have attempted to describe the vehicle as best as I can. I HATE surprises when looking at vehicles and I know you do to, so if something is in question please ask. This is not a perfect car it will need work to get there, but again is a great start for a show car or completed driver in primer.
Have the original door tag that was heavily sandblasted and can be only clearly read from back side see photo, it matches clear Minnesota title in my name and inner fender stamped vin. Door tag is below:
63A C D8 26u 35 6 6

Ford celebrating 80 years of Aussie utes as it prepares to shutter Oz manufacturing
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Ford is ending Australian production after 90 years in 2016, and with it may go perhaps the most iconic vehicles in its auto market - the ute. Car-based pickup trucks like the Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet El Camino were always more of a curiosity than a true market force here, but in Australia, they have long proven hugely popular.
As the legend goes, Ford invented the niche after a farmer's wife had asked Ford Australia's managing director for a more utilitarian car. Her request was simple: "My husband and I can't afford a car and a truck but we need a car to go to church on Sunday and a truck to take the pigs to market on Monday. Can you help?"
Ford's design team came up with a two-passenger, enclosed, steel coupe body with glass windows and a steel-paneled, wooden-frame load area in the rear. The sides of the bed were blended into the body to make it look more unified, and to keep costs down, the front end and interior were based on the Ford Model 40 five-window coupe. Power came from a V8 with shifting chores handled by a three-speed manual. Within a year, the new vehicle was ready, and production began in 1934. Lead designer Lewis Bandt christened it the coupe-utility.
Ford brings FPV Falcon production in house [w/video]
Thu, 21 Feb 2013For the first time since 1976, Ford of Australia is bringing the assembly of its stonking Ford Performance Vehicle line back in-house to the company's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. That's a point of pride for FPV, which builds high-performance versions of the Australian Falcon model like the F6, GS and the heroic GT seen here.
In the video below, we hear FPV employees talking in hushed tones about the important legacy that cars like the GT have for Australian gearheads of all stripes, and how proud they are to say that hand-built machines like this GT R-Spec with its Boss 355 engine are now rolling out of their home base. For our part, we're just dying to drive this version of the Coyote V8; the engine is rocking a "Miami" supercharger from Harrop and makes some 450 horsepower.
Continue on below for the video, or you can check out some images of the new FPV at the facility, as well as a gallery of the GT R-Spec car.
Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor to get 365-hp EcoBoost option
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Speeders beware, the police are going to be getting quite a bit faster. Ford has just announced that it will be offering its 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged, EcoBoost V6 in the Explorer Police Interceptor. The new engine will be joining the existing 3.7-liter V6. The 365-horsepower, 350-pound-foot mill should be familiar to consumers as the powerplant that's found in the Ford Taurus SHO (and its LEO equivalent, the Taurus Police Interceptor) and the Ford Explorer Sport. It should also provide quite a kick in the pants to officers used to the naturally aspirated 3.7 and its 304 ponies and 279 pound-feet of torque.
The move to the more potent powerplant was born out of all the equipment officers need to carry on a day-to-day basis. These days, there's so much stuff that police need on a regular basis, that there's a genuine market for a faster Police Interceptor Utility, as it's known officially. The Explorer-based cruiser has already accounted for 68 percent of Ford's LEO sales in 2013, and that's with just the 3.7, and we'd only expect that number to increase once the twin-turbo, 3.5-liter V6 is available. Ford won't offer up any indication of what the take rate will be on the new engine, but we're guessing it'll be fairly high.
The success of the Explorer PI couldn't have come at a better time for Ford. The decision to end Crown Victoria production was not a popular one with police, and combined with Chevrolet and Dodge diving into the LEO market feet first, Ford hasn't been performing as well as it's wanted to. The Explorer has been helping it turn around, though. And with the inclusion of the EcoBoost, Ford also has a legit competitor for the Chevrolet Tahoe on the big utility side of the police market.
