Up for auction is supercharged 1988 mustang.  I bought this car about a year and a half ago, but I have found that its just got a little more than I need under the hood.  It is a rush to drive, but I need a weekend cruiser with some go, and this car really should be cruising to the track on the weekends. I am a bit torn about selIing it, but we want to get something that the wife is comfortable driving too. I run the car on 50/50 race/pump gas.  It can run fine on just pump gas by simply dialing back the boost retard mouted on the dash.  The car has the 5-lug conversion and rims are from an 03 SVT cobra.  There are wheel spacers on the front lugs, so they can fit the 17x9" wheels.  I havent had a problem with them and a lot of people run them, but I was going to get something skinnier for the front. I'll leave that up to you. Mickey T drag radials in the back and goodyear eagle F1's in the font. The car is just how I bought it, and I will do my best to detail what I learned from the owner who had it built by a race shop in OK. I bought the car 200 miles after the build, and have put about 300 on it so everything that you see is about 2 years and 500 miles old, including the paint. He dumped a ton of $ into it and a house came up for sale that he had to have. I am not a mechanic, but I at least understand most of the terminology.  If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them. Please look closely at the pictures as the car is really nice, but not flawless. I do not have a hoist, but you can see that under the car is rust free. The motor is a 302 cleaned out to 306 with all forged internals, and a Vortec V-2 supercharger. The supercharger was used, but was sent in to Vortec for a complete rebuild when the engine was built. The car has been very dependable.  It always starts right up and runs great. A few of the non-essentials have been elimitated like heat, AC, wipers and cruise.  All of the lights and singals  are new and work fine.Below is a list of all aftermarket goodies that make this car something special.   The car put out over 700hp on straight race fuel at the crank. 537 hp to the rear wheels.

Trickflow intake and stage 2 cam

ARP hardware

SFI balancer

70mm throttle body

90mm mass air flow senser

flowed 42 lb injectors

Built in 6000 rpm rev limiter

Tremec TKO 600 5 speed manual transmission 

Lakewood scatter shield

Aluminum Flywheel

Spec Stage 3 clutch

Chromoly Driveshaft

31 spline axles with an auburn rear end

New disc brakes up front, new drums in back

New monroe shocks in the rear with rear links, and subframe connectors

Tubular front K-member with fully adjustable front coilovers

Stainless 2.5 inch mufflers (I cannot discribe how mean this car sounds...you just have to hear it)

All MSD ingnition (blaster coil, 6AL box, dialable boost retard for street fuel)

Ford Racing Tach with shift light.

Mishimoto Aluminum radiator with electric fan.

Please feel free to ask questions as I am sure I forgot something.  The car does have a slight oil leak from the rear main seal.  After some reading online I see that the ford 302 is known for that, ecspecially when they are boosted.  It does not leak all the time, only when it runs.  It has been such a small amount that I have left it alone.  The weather stripping and trim could be replaced in some areas, and the interior is nice, but not show quality. The plastic rear bumper cover has a slight bulge in the center that is more obvious in the pictures than in person.  The speedometer is not hooked up because it needs an a different plug is needed to go into the TKO vs its original 5 speed that the speedo is meant for.... Again please look at the pictures. Dont be scared off by this stuff.  Its all very minor, but as you can see from my feedback I don't want to try to sneak it by you and end up with an unhappy buyer.  For my starting bid you would be crazy not to be happy with this car.  The drivetrain cost more to build than $6k.  Good luck....and if you bid...plan on paying for it!

This is a re-list due to a non paying bidder.

Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here. You can also check out the full press release below.

Ford EcoSport Storm concept swallows a Raptor in Sao Paulo

Sun, 02 Nov 2014

Ford rolled into the Sao Paulo Motor Show with some pretty cool crossovers in tow, the awesomest of all being the EcoSport Storm concept shown above, which draws its inspiration directly from the F-150 SVT Raptor. It packs a lower grille clearly derived from the now-famous muscle truck, as well as a Blue Storm paint job, black and silver trim, special graphics, lower body cladding and 215/75 R15 off-road tires. Don't go holding your breath for a supercharged V8, though; made locally in Brazil, India and Thailand, the tiny EcoSport is typically powered by a three- or four-cylinder engine.
The Storm isn't the only specially prepared Ecosport on show, however, joined as it is by another pair called Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is decked out in matte copper with a black roof, LED fog lamps, 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires and an interior complete with four individual bucket seats, leather upholstery and a full multimedia suite. The Beast, meanwhile, takes a sportier approach with a white pearl finish, blue and orange trim and three-bar grille. It also wears 18-inch wheels and LED fog lamps, but its interior swaps out its rear seats for a bike rack.
Joining the EcoSport show cars was an Edge crossover equipped with all the latest technologies and done up in bright red with three-bar grille, bulging hood, and an interior featuring 10-inch touchscreens and leather upholstery. Feel free to read more in the press release below.

Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.
