HERE IS A VERY NICE LOOKING AND GREAT DRIVING 1966 FORD MUSTANG HARDTOP WITH STOCK NUMBERS MATCHING 289CI/225HP A-CODE V8 AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VERY ORIGINAL CAR WITH 72,553 MILES SHOWING ON THE ODOMETER.


Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME.

Vehicle came out of Wisconsin. Previous owner recently had the body completely repainted. This was a very original car, with one recent repaint. It has been mechanically maintained so it runs/drives good and can be driven anywhere. 

Under the hood lies the Stock MATCHING NUMBERS 289ci/225hp A-CODE 4V V8 motor that is virtually all stock down to the original valve covers, exhaust manifolds etc.

Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great. Transmission is solid and shifts good through all the gears. Brakes have been checked and adjusted and stop well. Car feels great, handles the road nicely, sounds great and is very responsive with a little play in the steering wheel.

Interior is all stock and original as you'll see in the pictures. Seats are in fairly good shape (some seam splits on driver's front seat). Dash is very good. Door panels are good. Carpet is old and worn but still fairly presentable. Headliner is NEW. Steering wheel has various cracks.  Overall a very presentable interior for a good driver.

Underside actually appears to be in typical older Mustang shape. Floorboards have been patched amateurly with sheetmetal (NEW FLOORBOARDS ARE AVAILABLE). Frame rails have rust on rear passenger side (where the extension close to the bumper is) and front driver's side, but can easily be patched/replaced. Shock towers still in one piece. Trunk appears to be VERY NICE.

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is overall VERY GOOD with VERY NICE shine and only minor imperfections. Not working: radio, horn, couple of the smaller gauges disconnected, perhaps a bulb or two may need replacing. Carburetor could use some adjustment as car is a little cold natured, but otherwise runs/drives great. Appears that dash was cut at one point to house custom radio, which was recently replaced with stock one. 

I am sure there are several other things I am forgetting at the moment, so overall she is not perfect and to do it justice should be gently restored to your liking, or you can just drive it as is. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a GOOD LOOKING AND SUPER FUN DRIVER that runs/drives good, then this is the car for you. If you want a concourse correct show car, it will need a considerable amount of restoration to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
