For sale is my 1976 Mustang II Cobra clone 4-speed. Rebuilt 302 V8 motor, bored 30 over with a mild cam, GT 40 heads, Holley 4 barrel carb, and dual exhaust. This thing is fast and handles wonderfully. Car has power front disc brakes, rear drums, and power steering. It has factory air conditioning; all parts are there, but the compressor (included) is not mounted and factory T-Tops, which are rare in this body style. Interior is in great shape. It was completely restored by the previous owner, with 100+ receipts totaling over $8000, dated 1992-1994, and was finished about 10 years ago. I had a new clutch installed less than a year ago and it has a new water pump, new fuel pump, cleaned fuel lines, new fuel filter, new thermostat, and new hoses and belts. Tires are in great shape. Odometer reads 9,500 miles. Comes with original owner's manual, Hayne's repair manual, new oil filter, and fitted water-resistant California Car Cover. I installed bumper guards on the front and rear bumpers with 3M tape; easy to remove if desired.

Now for the flaws: it has a few spots of minor surface rust around the driver's side door and on two of the wheels (all seen in the photos), a small ding in the same door (so subtle that I couldn't even get it to photograph), a few chips in the paint, is missing a radio (previous owner removed it for some reason; because of this, I removed the antennae, which comes included in a box full of extra parts), a small crack on the rear bumper and one of the taillights (also seen in the photos), the struts on the hatch don't fully support it when opened, the tach works but isn't reading accurately, and the fuel gauge and windshield wipers aren't working.

Originally a Florida car.  Starts up every time (if you're in the northeast, you know what a hellishly cold winter we had and it didn't give me a single problem throughout it), runs great, shifts great.  I typically drive it once or twice a week and I've taken it on multiple 400+ mile trips and it's always been reliable. This thing turns heads and starts conversations everywhere I bring it. It's been very well cared for and all in all is a super clean example of a rare Mustang. Clean title ready to be transferred. This makes me want to buy my car all over again.

Car is also for sale locally, so I have the right to end this auction at any time.  Would be open to a trade for a third-gen Camaro 305 5-speed.  Feel free to message me with any questions.  Thanks for looking.

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!

Ford confirms launch of new Tourneo vans and Ecosport in Europe for Geneva

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

We've already seen plenty of what the Geneva Motor Show will have in store for us in less than two weeks, but most of the confirmed debuts that were announced so far have generally been luxury or performance cars. Ford, on the other hand, will be showing off a couple of its new family-friendly models for European buyers to enjoy.
On the larger side of things, the full range of Tourneo vans (shown above) will be on display, including the introduction of the new Tourneo Courier model, but Ford will also be showing off the all-new EcoSport crossover, which is based on the automaker's Global B platform and will be positioned beneath the Kuga, better known here as the Escape. The subcompact EcoSport was originally unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show last April.

Recharge Wrap-up: Atieva making EV with former Tesla talent, Holland lowers PHEV incentives

Wed, May 13 2015

A reduction of tax incentives on company cars in Holland is expected to put the brakes on plug-in hybrid sales. Cars are taxed at an average of 25 percent, with plug-in hybrids taxed at just seven or 14 percent, depending on emissions. Taxes on PHEV company cars will increase to 14 and 21 percent. With company car leases making up a third of vehicle sales in 2014, the uptake on PHEVs "will likely go back to regular volumes," according to Volvo's Christiaan Krouwel. It could be a boon for battery electric cars, as their tax rate will remain at four percent for company cars. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Ford is testing cylinder deactivation in its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine. On-road prototype testing has shown improvements in fuel economy of as much as six percent. Ford engineers developed a system using a new dual mass flywheel, pendulum absorber, and tuned clutch disc to allow cylinder deactivation under a wider range of speed and engine loads with less NVH. "The highest priority in the development of new combustion engines for automotive applications is the ongoing reduction of fuel consumption," says Ford's Andreas Schamel, presenting Ford's findings to the Vienna Motor Symposium. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release from Ford. Atieva is building an EV with the help of numerous former Tesla employees. The Silicon Valley-based startup was founded in 2007 by a former Tesla vice president, and its roster includes 12 other former Tesla employees. Already well funded, Atieva is now looking to fill its ranks with more talent, with 32 engineering positions, two recruiter positions and other job openings posted at its website. As for the EV it is working on, Atieva says it is "redefining what a car can be, by building an iconic new vehicle from the ground up." Read more at Charged EVs. Testing shows that Joule ethanol, made from recycled CO2, meets standards for use in the US and Europe. In partnership with Audi, Joule has been working toward making its recycled CO2 fuels ready for commercialization. "We are pleased to achieve another critical step towards our planned near-term delivery of fuel-grade ethanol from recycled CO2," says Joule President and CEO Serge Tchuruk. "Using waste CO2 as a feedstock, our technology has the two-fold advantage of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and producing cost-competitive, drop-in fuels." Joule will use these test results to get government approval for the use of its ethanol in highway fuel.
