Beautiful 1971 Mustang convertible. Very low mileage. This is a California car purchased 18 years ago and brought to the Pacific Northwest. Second owner of this car with only 55,119 original miles. This car has spent the majority of its life stored under its cover in a large shop over on the Olympic Peninsula. Originally purchased from the first original owner for my brother who passed shortly after the purchase. The car was locked away for years and recently came out of storage. This car is totally original and numbers matching. 302 engine and C-4 Automatic Transmission. It received a fresh paint job back to the original Tampico Red color several years ago. This was done only because the car had been waxed so many times that the paint was getting thin on the top corners of the fenders. It received a new convertible top in the original white color at the same time. It also received a new trunk pan and all new weather striping. The engine bay has not even been molested. It is all original. This is a very low option car with the only options being the power top and power steering. It even has the original working AM radio. The car drives great and everything functions as it should. It is a real attention getter. The tires are like new as well. The only things I am aware of that it needs to be perfect is it has a small crack in the center of the dash pad which is hard to see or find, it has a slight hesitation upon acceleration and could probably use a carb rebuild. This is I am sure due to sitting in storage for so many years. It also has a small exhaust leak somewhere in the exhaust system noted by the louder than normal sound. If I was going to keep the car I would probably replace the seat covers. They are original and while they have no rips or tears they have a somewhat worn appearance. As I stated the engine bay has not been molested, painted, etc. so you can see it is all original. To be a show car it could be detailed out. I have noted any defects I have seen. I reccomend you inspect any vehicle prior to purchase and will facilitate an inspection by you or your agent. For U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction's end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction's end.

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
Bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta hams it up for International Bacon Day
Wed, 28 Aug 2013This is a bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta. It is a real thing, that a real, multi-billion-dollar company designed. And it isn't even April Fools' Day. Designed for International Bacon Day, which is also apparently a thing, the 2014 Fiesta is finished in Green Envy paint - we're told black paint, like the color of a skillet, made the car look camouflaged - and features 10 gigantic decals depicting strips of tender, cured bacon.
The design, which was approved by the CEO of Benton's Country Hams, Allan Benton, show off the depth of Ford's Custom Graphics program. Unbelievably, Ford will actually start offering bacon decals to everyday customers, including (and we can't believe we're writing this) dual bacon racing stripes which will no doubt have Carroll Shelby spinning and/or salivating in his grave, and a "side of bacon," which wraps a couple of strips over the rear wheels.
Benton, who Ford claims is the King of Bacon, had this to say: "This car just makes so much sense." The Fiesta's marketing manager, Liz Elser added, "It's just awesome to drive down the road in a piece of bacon."
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
