Hello, Up for auction is my 1984 Ford Mustang 5.0 (302 cu in) Convertible.  I bought this car in California last year and I drove it home to New York, so this is a rust free hardly touched car.  It does have some dings and nicks (2 on the hood, 1 on the front fender & 1 on the drivers door) but is straight and rust free.  This car still has all the pollution equipment intact as it still passed the California emisssion inspection when I bought it.  This car has a 5-speed manual transmission which shifts great, sometimes you have to feather it while going into 5th gear, but that has not been a issue for me.  This car runs strong and straight and does not burn oil or leak any either as it has 96,467 original miles right now but will go up a bit as I am driving it still, the carb is the stock 4 barrel and I had it rebuilt when I got the car home last year.  The interior is in good shape, I put in a new console door and someone reupolstered the seats in a gray and black cloth, the carpet is original and if I kept the car I would replace it because of fading, the dash is cracked (they all crack) and is covered by a black carpet dash cover, ok for now but again, if I was keeping it I would buy a plastic dash pad cover (on ebay for $129), the door panels are original, all the gauges work, as well as the A/C, which had a rebuilt compresser and new accumulator installed 2 years ago.  It does have a new AM/FM CD palyer with two ways to play an iPod, and it also has a remote, and comes with the manual, speakers are original.  All the power windows go up and down, although slow, the passenger rear window only goes down with the switch in the back seat, so I usually leave it up.  The power steering works fine too.  The car also has an alarm and power door locks with a remote entry and exit, passenger side does not always open with the remote.  The convertible roof goes up and down with out issue and comes with the boot cover as seen in the pictures, the rear window is glass and is fine, there is a little seam separation of about an inch and a half which I show in a picture, I put a small patch on it, but I took it off for the picture, no water has got in as I cover the car when I know its going to rain and I do not drive it in the rain, but I could without incident as the wipers work fine and no water has gotten in when I wash the car.  The tires are 17 inch Kumho's all around, the 2 fronts have 85% tread, but are older tires, the 2 rear tires I just bought from Tire Rack online and only have 400 or so miles on them.  The wheels are chrome and look good, but there is some bubbling of the chrome between some of the spokes, but unless your bending down and looking, it is not noticeable.  The car is single exhaust with a cat that is in great shape and does sound nice.  The power brakes work fine and have plenty of life left, discs in the front and drums in the back.  The radiator is a 2 year old aluminum 3 core.  The paint is bright and not faded, it is a re-paint from probably 4 or 5 years ago, like I mentioned before, there is 5 or so nicks in the paint and there is some chips on the passenger rear quarter panel behind the door, but no rust anywhere, even underneath on the frame.  Please be advised that the paint does have other paint flaws that are normal wear, I just pointed out the bigger ones either by pictures or previous descriptions.  There is a spot on the rear bumper where it looks like someone backed into the car at low speed (see picture).  I also put on a black leather hood bra which looks good to me, but it is easily removed, plus it covers up a paint chip.  The lower passenger front valance has some chipping and stress lines, not from a car accident, but when I had the car inspected last year the car was sitting waiting for me to pick it up and a small sink hole, yes a sink hole, opened up under the front tire and the car dropped down and hit the ground, all in slow motion as I was there and it happened in front of me.  The repair shop promised to pay to fix it, but he has reneged.  I will be including the original manual as well as an after market repair manual.  This car is very nice driver and presents well and I do get the thumbs up while driving it around, but it is not a show car, even thought I have put it in shows, I know it will be just looked at as a nice clean straight 1984 5.0 convertible driver.  I have tried to explain everything to the best of my knowledge.  Please ask questions.  The car is sold as is, where is.  US buyers only, please.  The buyer is responsible for pick up and arragements for pick up.  There will be a non-refundable deposit of $300.00 within 24 hours after auctions end and the balance can be in cash or bank check/money order and the title will not be released until funds clear.  Thanks for looking, and Happy bidding.

V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.

Jay Leno drives postcard-perfect '32 Ford Highboy Roadster

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

At the turn of the century, it was arguably the Honda Civic that best defined inexpensive performance tuning, and in the '50s it was the Tri-5 Chevys. One of the earliest platforms to gain a huge following among young people looking for a cheap way to go fast was the classic '32 Ford Highboy Roadster. This week, Jay Leno's Garage looks at one of the very first vehicles that defined the look of the hot rod heyday.
This '32 Ford was built in the '40s and graced the cover of the fourth issue of Hot Rod Magazine back in 1948. All of the hot rods that you see shining at car shows today owe a serious debt of gratitude to this roadster. It bears all of the cues that define the look, including a notched frame and hidden door hinges. Under the three-piece hood is a flathead V8 boasting all sorts of period modifications, including copper cylinder heads. It was seriously fast in its era too, and proved it by reaching 112.21 miles per hour on a dry lakebed in 1947.
These days, this hot rod is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Although, if you can't make it to California to see it, the United States Postal Service is celebrating this Ford with one of its two hot rod Forever stamps. Like Jay says in the video, in terms of hot rodding, "it all comes back to this." Check out the video to learn more about this rolling piece of tuning history.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
