This auction is for 1984 Ford Mustang SVO. This car is equipped with the 2.3 Turbocharged 4 Cylinder, 5 Speed Manual Trans, factory 4 wheel disc brakes, factory 16 inch wheels, Leather, Sunroof and more. This is a very original SVO which had the same owner since 1992. The car does run and drive but has been sitting since the year 2000 so it will need some work to be considered a daily driver. I bought the car with the intention of restoring it but haven't had the time to devote to it. Here's some more detailed information. The car did not pass the strict California emissions test therefore the car cannot be sold to a resident of the state of California, NO EXCEPTIONS!. BIDDING IS OPEN ONLY TO NON-CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.
Mechanical: As stated the car does run and drive. I have driven the car on a handfull of occassions and here is what I've observed. The engine starts easily and runs well. There is no smoking, knocking, overheating or odd noises. The car will occassionally hesitate on acceleration. I don't know if this is an issue with the turbo or something else. Turbo does kick in and work. The 5 speed trans will sometimes grind going into 2nd gear. If you don't shift too quickly it works fine. It will grind if you try to downshift into 2nd at a high speed. Transmission and clutch work fine other than the 2nd gear issue. Cooling fan doesn't seem to work. I never let the temp go higher than half way but the fan didn't come on at that point. Front end will need some attention. Noisy going over bumps. Brakes work fine. The tires look good but I'm sure they are quite old.
Exterior: The body and paint look good. There are no dents or rust on the body. The paint on the front bumper is scraped. The winshield has a large crack and will need to be replaced.
Interior: Interior is pretty nice for the age. Seats are good shape with no tears. Dash is solid with no cracks. The car has a sunroof which leaks and has damaged the front section of the headliner. Overall a nice interior.
Overall this is a great car to fix up and return to its former glory or perhaps drop a V8 in it.
Terms: As stated above because the vehicle did not pass the California emmisions inspection buyers must be in a state other than California. The vehicle will need to be towed or trailered from its current location in San Fancisco , CA. A nonrefundable deposit of $500 is due via Paypal within 24 hours of the auctions end. The balance is due within 7 days and the car must be picked up within 10 days.

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.
Ford Focus EV's slow sales trigger massive incentives
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports Ford is having real trouble moving its new Focus Electric. As a result, the automaker is offering substantial incentives in an attempt to lure in more buyers. How substantial? Try $10,750 off of a three-year lease. What's more, the EV can now be had for $37,995 ($2,000 less than its original base price) on top of an additional $2,000 cash discount to buy the EV outright - or you can opt for 1.9-percent financing if you work through Ford Motor Credit. None of which factors in various potential government incentives. Last year, Ford managed to sell a paltry 685 of the 1,627 Focus EV hatchbacks it built.
Ford isn't alone in trying to woo more buyers to its EV effort. Nissan cut the price of its Leaf by a whopping 18 percent for 2013, now down to $28,800 and built in the USA. The move followed the automaker's substantial incentives in 2012.
If you want a Focus Electric, you can now apparently get your hands on one for as little as $285 per month with $930 due at signing for a 36-month lease with 10,500 miles per year.
Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
