1988 LX 5.O litre Mustang Convertible

Body and Interior-  Never Wrecked, all Vin tag stickers are on the correct places showing they are factory ford pieces.  The car has been repainted Once.  The seats have been recovered in original ford Black covers.  Nicely done job. The car has new brakes and After market PONY R wheels in 17x9 rears and 17x8 fronts.  very good fit for the car.  Tires are worn but useable.  The passenger window is off track but both window motors work fine.  The top has no tears or problems and has a new power top motor but the switch has stopped working.  ZERO RUST anywhere on car top or bottom is very clean.  The Battery has been relocated to the trunk.

Motor and Trans-  The motor was taken out and gone through with all necessary parts being replaced.  GT40P heads and a Victor Jr. style intake with Carter racing carb with ProCharger Cold air system have been put on in place of the fuel injection and a Mallory Inline fuel pump with Holley fuel pressure regulator have also been installed in place of the intank fuel pump. Car has MSD ingition with Billet distributor.  After market Billet pulleys.  BBK headers with 2.5 in exhaust with flowmaster mufflers and stainless out the rear.  Car has a Griffin radiator with flex-a-lite 16 in fan and tranny cooler.  ATI AOD trans with Precision Industries 2500-2800 converter with  aluminum ford motorsports driveshaft.  8.8 rear with auburn posi and superior Alloy axles with 3.73 gears. 

Needing addressed- The car is a nice driver but does show wear on paint, tires and just overall age.  The chips and scratches should be shown in pics.  The speedo amp and fuel gauges work.  the A/C is all there but I have not tried to get it working.  The Power top switch needs replaced.  The passenger side window needs put on track.  Door panels are just fair shape. Paint is ok but does have scratches. "shown in pics"  All the expensive items have been replaced just needs cleaned up and driven.  It is just sitting in my garage and I want the room so it must go.  I have been very honest about the car and you are more than welcome to ask any questions or come see the car.

I have had questions about the cars performance and while there has been several thousands of dollars spent on this car to get the drivetrain to this level of quality I have not been able to test and tune the car since its new set up was installed due to my very serious health problems.  I have only driven the car on my street and it does seem to run strong but will need some fine tuning and adjustments as all new assemblies do.  The car is a very good platform for a nice all around performing setup but still needs some work to be completed.  Again I hate to beat up on my own car but I want the buyer to know as much about the car as I can before bidding.  There is about 7 to 8K invested in this car with all the upgrades but my reserve is set super low and will be a steal if someone gets it for what I have set the reserve at, so bid with confidence that this is not a piece of junk someone is trying to pawn off on ebay but will need some work to complete the project.  I also have some new frame connectors that go with the car that I have not installed yet so there is another $200 free gift  :)  

Thanks for looking and questions.  Good luck and God bless you with a Happy New Year.

Mustang Cobra Jet prototype garners $200k for charity at Barrett-Jackson

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

A few weeks ago we brought you news of a one-off Mustang Cobra Jet that Ford was donating to charity. The car was set to be auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Now that auction has taken place, bringing in an impressive $200,000 for MS research.
That's a lot of zeros for a Mustang, much less one you can't even drive on the street. But the unique pony car, bearing serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1, packs a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, competition gearbox, wheelie bar, roll cage... all you could want, in short, in a turn-key drag racer. And all that for a good cause.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

Ford Explorer Jackson Pollock Edition results in trip to hospital

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Among the many useful pieces of driving advice we've taken to heart over the years, "Safely secure all cargo" is etched pretty high on our personal stone tablets. We've had a couple of frustrating moments over the years (numerous wonky cupholders and too-tall lidded cups; a radar detector that released its suction cups and dashed itself below the dashboard, etc.), but never anything like the scene above.
These photos above come courtesy of the Washington State Patrol, and they show the unfortunate aftermath of a driver, his dog, and his Ford Explorer after it crashed near the town of Belfair last week. According to reports, the man was schlepping five-gallon containers of paint inside his vehicle when he was involved in an unexplained accident. It's not clear what triggered the crash, but the impromptu abstract painting covered the whole of the interior, including the driver and his faithful companion.
The man was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries, and his dog was cleaned and later taken to a humane society.
