Up for bids is this 1966 ford mustang coupe. This is a great project for someone wanting to build a mustang and does not want to start with just a body or one that is not running. This is a running 66 coupe that basically needs a cosmetic restoration. The drivetrain in this car is pretty hot. It has a 289 with a c-4 green dot automatic transmission. The motor is not stock. It has a cam in it. It has a good sounding exhaust system. It has a aluminum intake. It has a remanufactured 650 edelbrock 4 barrel carburator. It has headers. From what I was told it has a positive trac rear end in it. I think it has gears in the rear end to but not sure what size. This car will get it. It has a special built brace across the shock towers and some bracing and traction bars under the leaf springs. This is one of those cars when you pull up to the red light you will turn heads either sitting still or taking off because it will go. This car sat up for about 10 years before I got it. I had to get another carburator, put some different tires on it because the old ones were dry rotted beyond use. I had to put another gas tank in it and clean the whole fuel system out. As far as mechanically The motor and transmission seem to be real good. The brakes work and it stops good but I am sure the brakes would need a little fine tunning. Mechanically this car would need little work. The tires are to big so it would need smaller tires on the front before it could be driven much. They are to wide and rub the fenders when you turn it. The glass is good in the car. As for the body this is where the major work will need to be done on the car. I am including a pair of doors, a front passenger side fender, and a hood in the auction that I took pics of that would be easy to do a little work to and just swap out the body panels or the ones on it could be fixed but it is just quicker and cheaper to unbolt parts and put other ones on. The main thing that will have to be cut out and welded in  is the floor pans. It will need floor pans. The frame sections are all good on it. The roof and trunk lid are good. The hood is good but when you let one sit up for a length of time the hood hinges will want to seize up and are hard to pull down unless you oil them so when someone pulled down on it they bent it a little on the drivers side. It could be fixed but I am including a extra hood anyway incase you just want to change it out. The doors are shot. The drivers door is trash. There is not fixing it. The passenger side is rusted underneath where you can't see so it could be fixed or changed out that will be up to you. The front passenger fender is the same way. It is rusted at the bottom and can be fixed or changed out. The rear quarters will need a little work but are fixable. Unless you find a car that sat in a garage or in a barn all these years you are going to have a hard time finding a rust free car. These are typical rust places for a 66 mustang. The interior is all there just needs restoring. The kit is pretty cheap to do this. I have a cd player that I will let go with it as well. I have a clear title to it. I also have a rear bumper for it. I don't think I took a pic of it. This would make a good project or a father son project. This is one of those cars you can drive and work on it a little along. I live in Jonesboro Louisiana and the car will have to be picked up here. I will require full payment be made within seven days of the end of auction. If you are a serious buyer and want to talk to me and ask questions email me or call me at 318-278-1069. The car runs and drives fine but due to the tires and brakes needing a little work I would recommend bringing a trailer. Again if you are in question about something or need more pics just let me know. Also please it cost money and time to list these auctions so be sure you are 100% sure you want it before you bid.

Galpin Ford GTR1 supercar debuts in Monterey

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

Galpin Auto Sports has finally taken the wraps off the car we first previewed back in December, the Galpin Ford GTR1. A few weeks ago, we posted the first hints of just what the GTR1 would be capable of, with Galpin teasing that its 5.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 would produce in excess of 1000 horsepower, with a top speed of 225 miles per hour. Package all that in a coachbuilt body, and you have the recipe for one wicked supercar.
The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000.
Now, we have all the glorious details. Galpin is targeting a production run of six cars, but if interest is strong enough, will expand its initial quote to 24 vehicles. The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000. Opting for the aluminum bodywork could lower that, although it's not immediately clear by how much.

Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor to get 365-hp EcoBoost option

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

Speeders 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.

2015 Ford Mustang invades SEMA, led by King Cobra

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Ford showcased more than a dozen customized 2015 Mustangs at its sprawling 20,000-square foot display this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center as the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary celebration continued at the SEMA Show.
While Mustangs are always a hot commodity at SEMA, the new generation brought increased attention from the aftermarket, as builders like Galpin Auto Sports, Richard Petty's Garage and Vaughn Gittin Jr. offered their takes on the new 'Stang.
The extensive display included a range of Mustangs from mild to wild, with everything from a 600-plus horsepower King Cobra pictured at the top, to paint-and-wheel packages. The new regal Cobra, which we spied early in our SEMA adventure this year, may not be the replacement for the Cobra Jet as we speculated, but it does seem to point the way forward for the next iteration of a supreme Ford dragster. Fat drag slicks out back make it's reason for being abundantly clear, and for tells us that modded car is good for a 10.97-second quarter-mile run.
