Vehicle Detail
This will be a NO RESERVE Listing. I was going to put the car into storage but since discussing it with my family I have decided that I don't want another car just sitting in storage doing nothing. The highest bidder in this auction takes the car. Good luck and please let me know if you have any questions!! The car is sold as is no warranty, buyer to arrange pickup or shipping, buyers are welcome to come and view the car here in Colorado Springs, and I reserve the right to end the listing early to sell privately. If you are interested in the car, feel free message me an offer or your phone number if you would prefer to buy it immediately versus waiting until the end of the auction. Also, if for some reason you happen to have an AC Cobra with a Small Block and a 5 Speed and you would rather have a Big Block Mustang I would be happy to work out a trade. Thanks! Update to listing: I performed the second break-in oil change in April and took the car to the dyno. I have included a picture of the dyno sheet. The car made 303.6 Horsepower and 372.9 ft/lbs of torque on pump gas, at a safe afr, and at 6100 feet of elevation. I would suggest the addition of aluminum heads as they would allow it to breath more than the original iron heads on it. Additionally, taking the car down to sea level should net approximately 20% more horsepower, putting it at approximately 380 hp to the ground and around 460 ft/lbs of torque. Unlike a lot of claims of horsepower, this is the actual horsepower to the ground as of today. Hi, Up for sale is my 1967 Ford Mustang Coupe with a 428 Cobrajet (CJ Cobra Jet however you like to say it or spell it) and a 4 speed toploader. I purchased this vehicle as a shell in December of 2010 and spent the first quarter of 2011 building it. I have invested over $30,000 just in the vehicle and parts; not including all of the labor hours as well. I have receipts for almost every part in the car as well as all of the machine work; and what I do not have receipts for I have pictures of when it was installed if it is not visibly apparent. A file folder with all of the receipts will go with the car to the new owner. I also have lots of miscellaneous parts like new chrome and such that have not been installed which will also be sent with the car. I currently have the car appraised and insured at $30,500. The car is not numbers matching as a 428 Cobrajet was not offered as an option in 1967. I built this vehicle with top quality, name brand parts as I had originally intended to keep it as my weekend cruiser. However, after finishing most everything I have found that I never really drive the car. I drove it up and down a major street in Colorado Springs a few times, but then I found myself not really going anywhere with it. I take it out on sunny days, or I start in it in the garage and let it warm up. I never did any of the things I planned to do with it because I never wanted to leave it anywhere nor did I want to always wait for it to warm up. I also don't drive in inclement weather so I have decided that I would be much happier building an AC Cobra. I put 221 miles on it during 2011. Since spring I have put a total of about 600 miles on it in 2012. I have been driving it recently on the weekends in order to conclude the break-in period and perform the break-in oil change. The car is in overall good condition however it still needs minor work and maintenance as befits a vintage automobile. If you have any questions you are welcome to send me a message on eBay with your phone number and I would be happy to call you at your convenience. I am also happy to discuss any details you would like through email/message as messages go directly to my phone and I generally respond with a few hours of receiving them. I have included a parts list at the end of the listing; however I've probably left things off of it as there is a mountain of stuff to list. The best way is to contact me and talk about it if you have any questions! The only major thing the car needs is some paintwork and ( I think ) some fender flares molded in when the paint is done. Other than that it has many minor issues that would have to be resolved as comes with owning a 1967, however none of the issues are major and most are just the ongoing maintenance that comes with owning a vintage muscle car. With the compression ratio it would be perfect for a supercharged setup but it is already plenty fast as it sits. If you have special circumstances or need special arrangements please let me know with more than an hour left before the auction ends so that we can make arrangements. Thank you for looking! Pros: Almost every part of the engine/transmission/driveline/suspension/interior is new or new old stock It's a fully-built 428CJ with an original Toploader, brand new clutch, flywheel, and hydraulic clutch system All of the interior has been redone, the autometer gauges are in the stock positions and look like they belong. The only "modern" part is that it has an excellent Pioneer Stereo with CD Player, MP3, Pandora, and iPhone/Bluetooth Capability 9 Inch Posi Rear End, Race Suspension, Front Disc Brakes All name brand parts from reputable dealers with receipts The floorpans are completely solid with no rust Overall no major issues, everything is minor and can be taken care of over time Cons: "20 Foot" Paintjob - It is currently Acapulco Blue but its original paintcode is for the special edition Springtime Yellow - If it were going to be repainted I would suggest returning it to the original color, but it would be easier to repaint it Acapulco Blue again The Paintjob looks great at a short distance and at night, it is still shiny as you can see in the pictures, however it has noticeable chips and scratches up close as well as minor scrape damage to the right rear quarter panel where the previous owner swiped a post at a gas station It has almost zero bondo and only a few small spots of surface body rust which could be easily taken care of when it was repainted ( thats what I planned to do ) The fenders had to be trimmed to fit the suspension and the large tires, I would suggest adding fender flares when the car is eventually repainted but they are not necessary The new tires got a bit scraped up before the fender situation was fully adjusted, it is only cosmetic and not apparent to the casual observor There are small fixes that need to be done to the interior Original Cragar Rims have some flaking that is only apparent from close inspection There is an extremely slow oil leak from the drain plug on the Canton pan. I called Canton and complained as it is a brand new pan and they told me that it was unfortunately a common problem. They offered to exchange the pan but I didn't want to go through the effort of taking it all back off. I believe it can be fixed with some simple teflon tape around the drain plug which I intended to do when I change the oil, however I haven't put enough miles on to change the oil yet. There is also a slow leak out of the rear differential from the front seal. It doesn't leak when it's driven but I've noticed it has a slow leak while it has been sitting. I believe that will go away if it is driven semi-regularly.
