Up for sale is my 2004 Mustang GT 40th Anniversary Edition with a clean title. This was the last year of this body style. I am the second owner (carfax shows this) and have been a Mustang enthusiast since the age of 13 and have owned/restored a handful of them.  Unfortunately I am going to be traveling on the road for my new job and will need a four door car for the next couple years. This car has been tastefully modified and doesn't need much else to make it perfect. I have poured a lot of money, time and sweat into this car making sure that everything was done perfectly and with the best of parts. I have NEVER seen another Mustang on the road like it. The body has 97k but the engine/tranny and driveline has been upgraded or rebuilt. She was tuned by AMP performance, a late model mustang shop out of Phoenix Arizona. I am sure I will be forgetting some items, but here is a run down of the specs off the top of my head:

ENGINE
Engine was rebuilt at about 60k miles using high performance parts by the previous owner. I don't know exactly what was used on the rebuild as I purchased the vehicle from the dealer. Since I purchased the car I replaced the entire cooling system (radiator, upper intake, water outlet, overfill tank, hoses), spark plugs, pullies, power steering pump, power steering lines etc... The motor has no leaks and runs very strong. Has a regular oil change every 2500 miles with full synthetic. Has not been on the Dyno but is estimated to be about 380 horsepower. I have the SCT handheld Programmer (cost me $450) that holds the custom tune along with the ability to self tune if you want it to get better performance or better gas mileage.  The tuner will go with the car.


TRANSMISSION
Tremec trans completely rebuilt about a year ago by Chuck Hawk Automotive (Mustang specialty shop out of Tucson AZ). This transmission has less than 20k miles on it and operates smooth. They used the best parts and hasn't leaked a drop. When it was rebuilt Chuck also replaced the clutch with a Spec stage 3 clutch and new cable.

DRIVELINE/REAR END
The driveline was fully balanced with new U-joints about 6 months ago. The rear end is upgraded to 3.73 gears (gets off the line very well, has some great response and still gets good gas mileage).

SUSPENSION
The entire suspension (everything!) was replaced 6 months ago using the best of the best. Eibach Springs, shocks and struts were used along with Eibach front and rear sway bars, Steeda X2 ball joints and tie rod ends, along with polyurethane bushings all the way around (All bushings were replaced!). Steeda Caster/Camber plates were also installed so you can achieve a perfect alignment with the lowered suspension. Also took the time to paint a lot underneath the vehicle while the suspension job was being done. $4000 was spent in parts alone on the suspension.

WHEELS/TIRES
Upgraded wheels matched with top of the line tires all the way around! 275's in front (brand new), and Nitto 315's in the rear. The car looks mean from the rear with all that rubber!

BRAKES
Pads, rotors, and wheel bearings were replaced about 6 months ago at the same time as the suspension. Brakes smooth, and steers straight.

EXHAUST
MAC exhaust with 3" pipes all the way back from the headers. Very "throaty" sound and gets a lot of attention and smiles when I fire her up or tap the gas.

INTERIOR
The black and tan interior is mainly stock and in excellent condition (Drivers seat showing some slight wear). Has an upgraded shift bezel, an aftermarket cd player, cobra floor mats.

EXTERIOR

The exterior paint is in great condition for being 9 years old. There are a couple small items that will need to be addressed on the body that I simply do not have time to fix. The clear coat on the upgraded side scoops is oxidized and some cracking, the body shop quoted me $250 to have it taken care of.  Then I had a truck back into the rear deck lid in a parking lot (hit and run) and slightly cracked it (body shop said $150 to fix, or $75 if they do the side scoops at the same time). 

 

WARRANTY: There is an extended warranty on the vehicle that still has 2 years or 70k miles remaining (Which ever comes first) and covers a lot of the vehicle. Warranty is fully transferrable and will be signed over to the new buyer.


This is a vehicle that has been worked on with the intention of keeping forever, but plans change and I will have to let her go. It has never been taken to the track or raced. It would make a great daily driver, weekend cruiser or street/strip car. The car passed AZ Emissions (Smog) testing and is currently registered in AZ, but located in San Jose CA.  I can work with you on arranging shipping.  The car is being sold as-is, please ask any questions before bidding.

HAPPY E-baying!

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.

Ford demonstrates Mustang's new Line Lock burnout feature

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Been saving your pennies for a 2015 Ford Mustang? Put in a few extra shifts or some overtime? Got a great down payment ready? Well, however much you saved for your new pony car, start saving more - you'll need the extra money to spend on tires.
That's because the Mustang will come with a system called Line Lock, which can lock the front brakes electronically, allowing drivers to perform big, dumb, smoky burnouts without moving so much as an inch. It's sort of like launch control, only the average driver might actually use it.
Now, line locks aren't uncommon, particularly in drag racing. Usually, a flip of the switch locks the front brakes. The Mustang, besides offering the system from the factory which is unique in and of itself, looks a bit more involved.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
