Here for your consideration is a 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra coupe. I have just had the 4cam 4.6 engine completely rebuilt at a cost of $4000.00 dollars. I bought this car with a rod knocking. Upon teardown it was discovered that number 4 and 8 rods had spun the bearings in the rods themselves. The rods in these engines cannot be resized, so I replaced both with new Ford rods. The block was then bored 0.020" with torque plates (which Ford did not do originally) and new 0.020" pistons installed. The cranked had to be turned 0.010" on both the rods and mains. The entire rotating assembly was rebalanced at that point. ARP studs were used in the block instead of the inferior factory bolts. ARP rod bolts were installed instead of the torque/yield bolts that were original. The cams were absolutely flawless, so I reused them. New chain tensioners were installed and a complete valve job done on the heads. I installed a new dual friction clutch when the engine was reinstalled. The car has been driven 400 miles so far since the rebuild. It runs and drives as new, nice tight suspension, ice cold A/C, everything works except the odometer. I checked the bottom side and everything is correct, so it must be in the head unit. Speedo works fine. This car is all stock, no mods at all, even original exhaust. This car has always been in North Carolina so there is no corrosion issues. The leather on the steering wheel is showing some wear and the bolster on the drivers seat needs to be recovered, as seen in the pictures. No cracks on the dash or door panels. This car should give thousands of trouble free miles with the work that has just been done. While preparing the car to return to the road, all the brakes have been gone through. This Cobra has never been hit and I believe it is wearing it's original black paint. It also has the Mach 460 sound system with AM/FM, CD, Cassette. If you are looking for a factory high performance Mustang that has not been "flogged" yet, then this is your car. If you drive it, you will love it. Car is sold as is. You are welcome any time during the auction to personally inspect and drive the car. Buyer is responsible for transporting the car to it's new home. I need payment within 2 weeks of auction's end.

Ken Block ain't got a care about ruining his wheels
Tue, 22 Jan 2013During a drifting session at Irwindale Speedway in California, Ken Block made a boo-boo that would send a number of drivers immediately back to the infield. But there's an answer to "What do you do when you bash the wall while drifting and your wheel explodes?" and there's completely different answer when the question begins with the phrase, "When you're Ken Block..."
Instead of us telling you how Block handled the calamity in his Ford Fiesta competition car, you can watch it happen in the video below. You can probably also guess what it is - but it's more fun to watch.
Enterprise customer billed $47k for Mustang stolen from rental lot
Sun, 05 Jan 2014A weekend rental of a Ford Mustang GT Convertible sounds like a nice, relaxing way to burn some gas, but one Nova Scotia woman's two-day rental is turning into a months-long headache. In early October, Kristen Cockerill picked up the Mustang from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and she returned it the following day as stipulated by the rental contract. Unfortunately, she dropped the car off on a Sunday - a day on which the particular Enterprise office is closed - and the car ended up being stolen overnight.
Now, two months later, CBC reports that Cockerill received a bill from Enterprise for the full replacement of the car totaling $47,271 (a base 2014 Mustang GT Convertible currently costs $40,349 in Canada). As it turns out, the fine print in the contract says that the renter is responsible for cars dropped off after hours until it can be inspected the next business day - this is also reflected on the key drop seen in the news report video, which states "vehicles returned after hours are the responsibility of the renter until inspected on the next business day."
It's not clear how much, if any, of that amount Cockerhill will be responsible for once her insurance company gets involved, but if the insurance company refuses to pay, Enterprise will bill the amount to the credit card she provided during her rental. While this ordeal is far over for Cockerhill, it's a good reminder for the rest of us to always read the fine print.
2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of
Tue, 17 Dec 2013One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
