 Now we have, up for your bidding entertainment, this 1986 Ford Mustang Convertible, the winning bidder will one day be able to experience that warm and wonderful feeling that accompanies having a plan come to fruition!  Having stated that, this vehicle can be looked upon, as being a "dual capacity" vehicle: (1) with minor work, it would quickly become a "daily driver" or (2) after an extensive restoration, the winning bidder will be getting a vehicle, that as it sets, is worthy of such an endeavor.

Pros and Cons -----

The Pros:

As can be seen in the under car picture, the unibody style frame is rock solid, both front and rear, no refurbishing will be necessary during any restoration project that you may have in mind.  Both side rocker panels are "hole free, rust free"; the doors close just as nice and tight, as they did when it was new.
As can be seen in the picture of the engine compartment, all under hood components are present.
No glass will need to be replaced, as it is all present and in good shape! (Crack and chip free)
The mechanism for the convertible top is functional/operational.
The oil has just been changed.
Vehicle was a "Florida car", which explains why the body and undercarriage is in such good shape!

The Cons:

Mileage on the odometer is 87,140 - but according to the vehicle history, may or may not be accurate.  (I have a plausible theory.)
As can be seen in one of the pictures, there is a "quarter size" rust hole, at the base of the windshield bezel, in the area of the drivers side windshield wiper arm attaching point, however this hole has no affect, nor will it ever, on the proper operation of the wipers.  Why this hole developed, is a mystery to me.
As can be seen in one of the pictures, the passengers side interior door panel is missing, as is the cover to the center console arm rest, exterior passenger door handle, and a part or two on the drivers side interior door panel.
Vehicle is in need of a new convertible top, as it has a couple of holes/tears in it, and is "dried out"/sun faded.
There is some surface rust at the bottom edge of the drivers side door.
Vehicle is in need of a paint job, as the paint is faded and "flaky".
Vehicle is in need of a couple of rear tires, as they are heavily weather checked.
Vehicle is in need of some brake work, as they are spongy and have to be "pumped" when they are applied.
The passenger side small rear window is present, (currently in the trunk), as it needs the hardware on the bottom replaced.
Lastly vehicle is in need of a tune up, it starts, runs and drives, but.......

Because eBay is now my passion, I will respond to all serious or frivolous inquiries, via e-mail. 
If as a potential bidder, you wonder why this vehicle is listed again, feel free to e-mail me so that I can explain, because yes, this is the same vehicle that was on eBay last week!
Thanks for "looking", and let the bidding begin!

Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?

Hyundai, BMW and Ford win Concept Vehicle of the Year awards

Sat, 06 Jul 2013

More than two dozen jurors started with a pool of 23 concept cars introduced at the most recent Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York auto shows, then pared it down to three winners in three categories for the twelfth annual North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards. The trophy-bearers are said to be those "vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry," and lead their classes in the Concept Car, Concept Truck and Production Preview divisions.
Hyundai had two cars as finalists for the Concept Car category, the competition boiled down to the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept, Veloster C3 Roll Top, Honda EV-STER and the Toyota Corolla Furia. It won with the HCD-14 Genesis that was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show, a sharp sedan that sharply divided opinion between those who thought it was too much, those who thought it was too much Audi A7, and those who thought it was perfect. The award panel's judges, however, thought so much of it that it's got two awards in one sitting, not only taking concept car honors, but because it earned the highest overall score in the competition it also takes the crown for Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2013.
The final selection in the Concept Truck category was down to the Ford Atlas, Kia Cross GT, Nissan Resonance and Volkswagen Cross Blue. The Ford Atlas took the silverware, after also winning the Eyes on Design award - shared with the Nissan Resonance - at the Detroit Auto Show where it was introduced.

First retail 2015 Ford Mustang headed to Barrett-Jackson

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Want to be the very first person to own a 2015 Ford Mustang GT? Here's what you'll need to do: be in Scottsdale, AZ on January 18 for the Barrett-Jackson auction and bring a very big checkbook. Having a passion for charity isn't a bad idea either.
Yes, the first 2015 Mustang to be sold to the public will be crossing the block at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, with proceeds from the auction going to JDRF, the charity formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"Ford Mustangs have always been among the most popular collector cars at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car events," said the president of Barrett-Jackson, Steve Davis. "While every collector wishes they had snapped up the first Mustang sold in 1964, this is an opportunity to realize that dream in a different way."
