Hello all, and thank you for viewing my auction. What I have is a 1967 Mustang Coupe I just spent 20k on building for my son for his 16th birthday, It was given to him in November and wrecked in March (4 months) he drove it less than 5 miles a day to and from school and it was apparently a bit too much and he hit a powerbox with it. It has been kept under a cover ever since
The Good:
The car started life as a 1967 V8 coupe I had it completely rebuilt and everything was gone through no expense was spared especially in regards to safety because my son was going to be drivng it, The entire process was completed at Mustang Ranch here in Fresno, California. New suspension, steering hydraulics and hard parts, We also had disc brakes installed. i had the interior completely redone with a new headliner dashpad carpet seats foams etc. no corners were cut anywhere. It also has a hidden aftermarket stereo. It also received a new fuel tank etc. We had a complete rebuild done on the original 289 with a mild cam and the C4 was gone through a Griffin radiator was installed and this car is also a factory AC car and that all works too. It starts and runs as it should there was no damage done to the drivetrain other than the rearend
Here is a video of it starting and running with a walk by of the damage: http://youtu.be/aW8B221eHyg
The damage to the Right side of the car (passenger side) is substantial it goes from the headlight to about halfway through the quarter panel the rear end was pushed back so that the tire is in the wheel-well and I believe the rear subframe was bent, I was told it was fixable but I would rather not put anymore money in it so that is up to someone else to decide
I have done my best to describe the car accurately and honestly for you that being said if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me (702) 824-5765 if you would like more pics or information about it This car is sold as is where is with no warranty or guarantee of condition expressed or implied. Vehicle is also for sale localy I reserve the right to end the auction early.

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings
Thu, 31 Jul 2014The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.
2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.
Ford will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon
Fri, 27 Dec 2013What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.
