66 Mustang White Rust Colored Project Or Parts Car Free Rust V 8 Engine 3 Speed on 2040-cars
El Cajon, California, United States
Well Labor Day is nearly over so ....continuing the Spring Valley Mustang collection sell off, today we post a 1966 Mustang sedan which is either a parts car or a restoration about to happen; you decide. The back story; this one was purchased by the current owner / seller about 1994 from the widow of a fellow who had started to restore the car and then died before finishing it. He had rebuilt the V-8 engine and three speed transmission and started stripping and sanding in preparation for painting when his health went south and everything stopped. When purchased it ran and drove but had not been started since, until yesterday, when I put in a hot battery and drizzled some gas down the two barrel carb and cranked er up. It will not run for long or even idle of course but it does fire and for a brief few seconds sounds sweet. The gas tank is long since evaporated and the throttle plate is frozen so there is no revving it. The pictures speak for themselves but for the record I must say that every exterior panel that could or has collected rain or dew has rust; doors, hood, top, and places in between. See the pictures. The one redeeming thing? The unibody floor pan is 100% original and pretty much rust free. That is to say there are no holes through the floor. There is some minor surface rust but it will clean up easily. The dash is factory original as well with no cutting or drilling trying to make a modern radio fit. The stock AM radio is in place. The shifter and gauges and steering wheel appear to be original as well. The two brackets from the fire wall to the shock towers are missing and look to be recently removed, another reason the sellers are motivated to move these cars and parts out; mysterious disappearances! Though not seen in any of the photos the factory air cleaner is here and comes with the car. The seats have exploded at the seams and are sun scorched. The chrome is weather pitted. The front bumper is missing, another mysterious disappearance! All four tires are garbage, only two will hold air, so winner will have to bring some wheels and tires to load it. Or I will assist or load with forklift. So, is it worth saving and restoring? Or is it a parts car? Buyers Choice!! If you have the time and the skills it absolutely can be saved as the bottom is honest, firm, and square. If all you need is the drive train, bid accordingly. It goes to a new home at the end of the sale. Personal inspection is recommended, no, urged, and I am available most any day, by appointment. Otherwise please ask questions before you bid. The sale is absolute and as - is with no refunds, period. We are here to sell it not send it out "on approval". We can and will hold it for free, once paid for, for thirty days freee while transportation is being arranged otherwise it's $25 per day after that. Clear California title in Non-Op status so no fees are due. The beginning bid is what we have been offered locally by a family "friend" / fellow collector, who hasn't bought any of those posted yet! And, as before, we are using eBay to offer it to the eBay universe in order to maximize the return for the seller and, despite the inevitable emails, and despite saying so here someone will ask anyway, I absolutely will not end it early. For those of you following these sales the past few weeks the next car up will be a rusty 66 Ranchero (V-8 automatic) followed by another 66 Mustang sedan (6 cyl ) with interesting flared front fenders (another great story) and all of the remaining loose parts - bits- and pieces. So check back in a few days! |

Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas
Wed, 03 Apr 2013The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.
Project Ugly Horse: Part V
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again
Tue, 26 Nov 2013Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.
