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

Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]

Mon, 20 May 2013

Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.

Feds looking into Ford Explorer exhaust leak complaints

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

There may be a burgeoning problem with exhaust leaks in the 2011-2014 model year Ford Explorer. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is examining multiple complaints of a gasoline smell in the cabin of these SUVs. However, the exact cause of this problem is still unknown.
"The agency is reviewing all available data and will take appropriate action as warranted," said a NHTSA spokesperson in an email to Automotive News. Owners seem to generally complain on the regulator's website of the smell entering the cabin through the air vents. At this time, the government organization has not yet opened an official investigation into the problem, though. When it does begin inspecting vehicles, NHTSA posts a detailed breakdown of its public data online.
Similar problems have been reported about the Explorer in the past, though. In 2013, Ford issued a recall for the 2013 model year of the SUV due to a fuel leak that could cause drivers to smell a gasoline odor and repaired them again later for another possible leak. In response to Autoblog's questions, Ford responded via email: "We are not aware of a NHTSA investigation. We are currently reviewing the case and in the event that any action is required, we will address it promptly."
