1968 Ford Mustang Fastback 289 Manual -

This Item is being relisted due to the winning bidder "Losing their Job" and therefore was not able to complete the Auction.   You see people relisting items "due to time waster" - I guess it was my turn ;-)

 I paid £11250 for this car on Ebay auction in March - have bought £1500 of parts that go with it and fitted new radiator (Recore)  and New water pump. Who ever wins this car is getting a bargain. If it doesn't meet its reserve I will keep it and finish what I started. The reserve is for lower than I paid for it.

You are bidding on a 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback GT with the 289 Engine with a three speed manual gear box.

This car comes with no mot and as yet – is not registered in the uk. Once you have MOT'd the car you will be the first owner in the uk.

I bought this project three months ago with every intention of putting it on the road and using it as a rolling restoration. however other commitments have made that not possible now.

I bought this vehicle as a non – runner but have since got it started and have a you tube video of the engine running. I have been all over the car as you would imagine and so far I have done the following :

1)      Removed and recore of Radiator

2)      Removed leaking water pump and replaced with new

3)      Removed all brake drums and discovered that the brake pipes have collapsed and Im not sure if the Master cylinder is working – this car will be provided with new Brake master and New slave cylinders and all new rubber brake pipes.

4)      Rewired the back ready for indicators or orange bulb to be fitted.

5)      Got wipers. heater and lights working – see parts list

6)      Fitted new screen and rubber (Not glued in so ready for easy removal when repainted)

7)      Fitted Period wheels and nearly new tyres.

8)      Fitted new dashpad

That's pretty much it !. New parts that are provided with the car are period wheels and virtually new tyres. new front arms and ball joints. New rear shock absorbers. new Master Cylinder. new brake pipes. New slave cylinders all round – New head lining .

I have  posted lots more detailed pictures on Flikr. and a video of engine running on you tube – I will post these links as soon as I have uploaded the photos. The reason why I have done this is that if you cant get to inspect the vehicle - you can at least get a photographic walk round of the car and Hear the Engine running

http://www. flickr. com/photos/16718923@N06/sets/72157634152507825/ full walk round and photos of underneath - 60 Photo's off all areas so bid with confidence.

The car was originally White but was painted – badly. in Black (Not by me).   It has had a lot of work done underneath – new floors by the looks of things. The car has pay slips and bills in the glove box dated from the American owner in 1980 - could it be this was when the car was last used ? This car was imported into the UK this year (Not by me) so has not been sat in the uk weather. It is not a shed.

Now for the boring bits – The auction is for the car to sell – I won't accept any offers and want the auction to run to the end. I will release the car to the winner only on reciept of cleared funds. £500 non-refundable pay pal deposit within 24 hours of the auction finishing. The car – whilst runs. has no brakes. so you will need to arrange for collection on a transporter – If you struggle with this I can help (You would just need to pay the delivery driver on receipt). The car can be inspected at your leisure – is welcomed – I can be contacted on 07764200006.
