PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE BIDDING

This is a car that is 95% plus complete on the build and restoration. Straight body, interior is new and complete, the engine is all there, just needs the new MSD ignition hooked up to the megasquirt EFI brain (it's in the car and just needs to be wired in) and to be tuned. It has aluminum heads, roller rockers, new cam, and the intake is a tunnel ram custom fitted with 8 procomp EFI injector bodies with velocity stacks controlled by a megasquirt brain (almost $5k just in the custom EFI intake and electronics). The short block had between 3k to 5k miles on it when I bought the car and was told it was a 300hp crate motor. Turbo 350 tranny, newly rebuilt 373 10 bolt rear. New springs, shocks, brakes, brake lines, drums and disks, (everything looks new underneath and inside the car) new tires on 17" SS Cragar wheels, new side pipe exhaust, new stainless steel dash with all new gauges, including toggle EFI fuel pump switch and button start, new billet/wood steering wheel. Paint looks decent but is 10 years old (some scratches and cracks here and there) black with a hint of red metal flake. It does come with a steel hood with I believe a 4" cowl, but will still need to be cut to fit the custom EFI intake and injector unit. 

I hate to sell this car before it's complete, but I lost my job and I need living expense money.  I am not a mechanic either, so I won't be able to answer a lot of the technical questions as I paid to have the work that was done to it. I will try and answer any general questions though. 

As a note, we did have the engine running (see video) with the EFI and it had a miss/pop or something in it and I was told they thought it was the cheap Chinese ignition we had and it was bugged, so I just spent almost $600 on an MSD package that included the box, coil, distributor and wires and have that on the car now, but it's not yet tied into the EFI brain as I have no clue how. So it has all of the parts installed and ready to run, no need to buy anything else to complete the car mechanically. 

Oh on the intake, the guy who built this actually builds custom intakes and injector units for all sorts of different cars and his work has been featured in magazines, so it is a quality custom build. 

The buyer will be responsible for shipping or local pick up in Cocoa Beach, FL. 32931 zip.

Low listing price compared to what I have invested in this car as I need to sell it for living expenses. This is a really cool car, especially for the price. Someone is going to be very happy to get a nearly completed project that will be so much fun to drive and a major head turner when done! 

Good luck and happy bidding.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VI

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
