Up for sale at No Reserve is a 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible. The car has been sitting for the past few years and is currently not running although it was a running driving car when parked. The 289 2v engine as well as the C4 automatic transmission were rebuilt right before it was parked and they have less than 500 miles on them. The body is in good shape with no rust through except on the lower passenger door (as seen) and some minor surface rust in areas, nothing a good sanding can't fix. The floors all appear to be solid. There is a minor dent on the front drivers fender from backing out of the garage, it can be seen in the pictures. The black paint you see on the rear on the car is primer and was put on a while back to protect the body from the elements but the car has been sitting inside a tent since parked, when washed some of the primer came off and that is what you see. The interior is pretty complete although a bit worn from sitting. The convertible top fabric was old and ripping from the California dry heat so I removed it, the frame is still there. All glass is there and in good shape. Three tires still hold air while the front passenger tire is dry and cracked and does not. She still wears her original California black and gold license plates. Included in the auction are an original jack and handles, a/c under dash unit, two a/c compressors, center console, wood grain steering wheel, extra black steering wheel with no cracks, and a 4 barrel carburetor with matching intake manifold. If you would like to schedule an appointment to inspect the car please call or text me at 714-603-1210. All interested parties are encouraged to inspect the car before bidding. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I have the clear CA title in hand. No Reserve, highest bid takes it. Thank You and good luck, Mark.

Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.
Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company
Thu, 03 Oct 2013
That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.
Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.
