1986 MUSTANG GT CONVERTIBLE 5.0 RED CLEAN INSIDE & OUT NEW TOP/PAINT/CLUTCH ETC.

My father purchased it from a family friend, he has had this car since 1990, it has hardly been driven since then. He moved to FL with Mom and they left the car here, so I started fixing it up over the years, and now I am newly married. . .And I have different new projects evolving with her. So the car has to go. :(

Exterior: No Body Damage, no rust, New Orig.Factory Jalpeno Red Paint (Before the car was painted there was only surfaced rust on the doors that was repaired professionally(Have pics before it was painted if your interested.) The rest of the body was solid, The Door jams, Rockers, inside the hood are all still orginal paint. The Paint looks great has a very nice clear coat! The White power Top is Brand New and works great! Eagle Alloy 16 inch wheels are in great shape, The tires are like new 225 50 R16, General's top of the line tires $500.00 brand new. Brakes are good. Headlights work, brake lights, and turning singals all work. The fog light bulbs need to be replaced. The fog lights themselves work. One crack on the windshield, it might be able to fixed, see pic for details. And the driver side door only locks from inside.

Interior: The interior is clean minor wear from over the years, Dash, door panels, visors, trim, console looks great, The Seats are in very good shape, there is some wear from the sun on the edges of the seats(Not bad at all) And in the back seat I saw one very small minor burn hole. The fuel pump is manually controlled by a toggle switch(Gives security) New Cd player with $150.00 Pioneer Speakers in the back. The fronts I could not wire in, because they were stock, need to get new ones for the front. I will also include original speakers with Original Radio. Power windows work great and are very clean.

Engine/Trans: 5.0 Engine ALL Original, runs strong, Sythetic oil change, Brand New Ram Clutch($530.00), New Fuel Pump, New Fuels Injectors(Cost $1500.00). Just changed both Valve cover gaskets. Everything is Stock and Original, My Dad said the A/C used to work, just needs to be charged. Little tiny oil leak from oil pan gasket, did not get a chance to replace.

Under carriage: Some minor surface rust, not a big deal from over the years. FYI: I also have some spare parts that come with the car, the old luggage rack, light bulbs, the door panel pockets.

Over all the car is very good shape, It is a head turner. I like to be very honest in my listing, that way you know exactly what your buying. If you have any questions feel free to call 630-550-9858. Items are Sold as Described and as is. Please make all inquires before Bidding. -Thanks

Should heavy-duty pickup trucks have window stickers with fuel mileage estimates?

Sat, Sep 23 2017

If you were to stroll into your nearest Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan, or Ram dealership, you'd find a bunch of pickup trucks. Most of those would have proper window stickers labeled with things like base prices, options prices, location of manufacture, and, crucially, fuel economy estimates. But you'd also run across a number of heavy-duty trucks with no such fuel mileage data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA doesn't require automakers to publish the valuable miles-per-gallon measurement for vehicles with gross weight ratings that exceed 8,500 pounds. That makes it difficult for consumers to compare behemoths powered by turbocharged diesel engines – between one another, and between smaller, gasoline-fueled trucks. Consumer Reports doesn't think it should be this way, and it's spearheading an effort (PDF link) to get the government to require manufacturers to publish fuel economy estimates. In its own testing, CR found that heavy-duty pickups powered by Ford's Power Stroke, GM's Duramax, and FCA's Cummins diesel engines (which doesn't include the Ram's EcoDiesel) get worse fuel mileage than their lighter-duty gas-powered siblings. We're not so sure HD-truck buyers are unaware of this fact Â– big diesels don't really come into their own until big loads are placed in their beds or attached to their trailer hitches. Under heavy workloads, the diesel trucks will almost certainly return greater efficiency than a similar gas-powered truck. What's more, HD trucks with lumbering diesels in general make the driver feel more confident while towing due to greater torque at low engine RPM than gas trucks. They also offer greater max-weight limits. Still, we agree EPA fuel mileage estimates should be offered for heavy-duty pickups. And we think the comparisons provided by Consumer Reports might be interesting to potential buyers. Click here to see the results of CR's tests, and let us know what you think using the poll below.

Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
