 Turn Key ‘90 Mustang LX stock suspension car. Very clean and straight Black on black.
Certified 8.50 chassis with all tubular up front. 8.8 fully built rear. 2-speed powerglide with brake. Leaves extreamly hard and straight. Perfect for 10.5, X-275 or grudge racing.

Too many features to list all but here is a partial list of the no expense spared build.

Really there are just too many things to list on this amazing build.
One really cool aspect of the car is that it is actually streetable! If you want to cruise your local hang out you could do it and watch jaws drop! It even retains the factory power windows!

The car has two stages of nitrous. Programable nitrous set up with technical support from Edelbrock and Steve Johnson.

Car has gone Mid 5s at 125 in the 1/8 mile on one stage. Second stage is in place but never fired. Motor was recently freshened and Nitrous not fired since then! I have made maybe a dozen NA passes (because that was fast enough for me).

According to the Wallace Racing drag strip calculator (based on weight & ET) the car makes 1,147 rear wheel hp.

I have lots of documentation and most of the recipts from the build.

I bought this car with the intention of running it a lot but other interests (road racing) have kept me from reaching this cars full potential. And it’s just plain faster than I want to go at my age. It needs to go to someone who will appreciate it and run it regularly like it was meant to be run. If you are a serious potential buyer please call me with any questions you may have. Reserve is set at only a fraction of what this car cost to build!

I'm happy to answer any question you may have.

Ford and GM link bonus checks to quality scores

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

The poor first quarter earnings of Ford and General Motors are having an effect all the way up the food chain. Both automakers struggled with recalls in the first three months of the year, and, according to The Detroit News, they have responded by increasing the percentage of bonuses tied to vehicle quality for salaried workers, including top executives.
GM announced that 25 percent of bonuses (up from 10 percent) for all salaried workers would be tied to its vehicle quality standards. The automaker revealed in its financial report that it spent $1.3 billion on recall-related repairs in the first quarter, and net income was down 86 percent.
Ford also increased the quality proportion of bonuses for about 26,000 salaried workers all the way up to CEO Alan Mulally from 10 percent to 20 percent. The company announced in its report that the amount paid out in warranty and recall claims was about $400 million higher than expected in the first quarter. Its net income fell 39 percent from the previous year. "The change reflects how critical quality is to our overall business," said spokesperson Todd Nissen speaking to Autoblog.

Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.

Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.
