I am selling a 1988 Mustang GT vert. It is a special edition modified by Fittipaldi Racing. This package came with 15" fittipaldi wheels, custom interior with Fittipaldi embroided Recaro seats and rear seat delete, combination lock emergency brake,  etched windshield and side windows, and rear spoiler. It has a new cd player connected to the rest of the aftermarket sound system. It has the following mods (most have less than 10k miles on them)...

Overall, the car is an 8 out of 10.  it idles and drives great.  The paint is shiny, doors shut smoothly, body panels line up, and no rips in the convertible top.  The windows, top, cruise control, wipers, lights, heat and a/c work.  The a/c might need a can once a year but it works.   The power in the driver side seat does not work but the manual override still functions.  The coolant sensor does not register.  If there are any specific questions please send email.  I will respond within 24 hours. 

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a rare limited edition foxbody mustang at a great price. Previous owner stated that the Fittipaldi mechanics came up from Miami, FL to Evertt Hooks Ford near Ft. Worth, TX where they spent two weeks converting the car.  This dealership has since changed names to Mike Brown Ford.

Clear TX title in hand. Odometer shows 12xxx, but actual mileage unknown.

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.

eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype

Wed, 08 May 2013

Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.
