1986 Ford Mustang GT

Up for auction is my 1986 Ford Mustang GT. I have had this car for over ten years and have enjoyed every bit of it. I know the car's history and like to show you this to represent that this car hasn't changed many owners or tinkered on here and there by multiple people. I bought in July 2003 from my employer. He bought it for himself in North Carolina about five years prior. It was completely stock and unmolested besides an exhaust. During his ownership he had rebuilt the stock T-5 five speed and had the car completely repainted.
When I bought the car it was still factory as they get, minus the exhaust.

  • In late 2004 I installed the welded sub frame connectors, lowered the car with Ford Racing "C" springs, Steeda Tri-Ax shifter, and installed FRRP 3.73 gears.
  • 2005 the car received 17" FRRP Cobra R Silver Wheels and the 87-93 rear quarter windows
  •         2006 was the year for the engine upgrade. It was built with another block, so I could still drive it.
347 SCAT Stroker Forged Pistons @ 10.5:1 Compression 
Comp Cams Xtreme Energy XE274 .555/.565" 112LSA
185 AFR CNC Aluminum w/ upgraded valve spring to accomodate the cam specs
Crane 1.6 Full Roller Rockers held solid with a CAT rocker stud girdle
Fully ported GT40 lower intake and Comp Cams Polyer Powerbox Upper
70mm Professional Products Throttle Body
76mm C & L Intake Elbow with MAF calibrated to 30lb/hr injectors
Shorty Headers
Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch (Awesome holding, even better pedal feel!)

Cowl Hood installed to clear the intake.
 To help the new stroker breath better, over the winter of 2006-07, I installed 1-3/4" BBK Long Tube Headers and a BBK X-Pipe
Over the winter of 2007-08, the aluminum radiator and Taurus fan were installed, with auxiliary P/S cooler and the five lug conversion was completed using:
  • 94-98 Mustang Axles and Rear Discs
  • 2000 Front Spindles with Dual Piston PBR calipers.
  • KYB 4-Way Adj. Front Struts
  • FRRP Parking brake cables
  • AFS 17"x9" 03-04 Cobra rear wheels w/ 275/40R17 tires
  • AFS 17"x8" 03-04 Cobra front wheels w/ 245/45R17 tires
I won't lie and say the car was never raced. With modifications as such, what would be the point of not enjoying the power? It was raced VERY occasionally, not every weekend or even once a month.  Including the time before the engine was built, it's been down the track in my possession only 4 times. I have all the times slips from when the engine was built. 12.5 @ 112 on street tires. The suspension is more geared toward handling so I'm sure with sticky tires and a drag suspension, it could very well be in the high 11s is desired. Also I never trailered the car. Always driven there AND back. Reliability.

The stock T-5 transmission was never made to handle much more than the factory power plant, as many may know, so in the spring of 2012, I installed a FRRP Super Duty T-5 transmission. While it was on the jack stands for the transmission install, an SLP Loudmouth cat back exhaust system was put on as well.

Just a month ago, I installed a new rack and pinion and had the car aligned.  

This car you can truly get in and enjoy the ride.  It goes down the road with no pulling or vibrations. It's not a show car by any means, but it is super clean. There's very minor flaws that come along with a car that's actually driven. The mileage will go up as I still drive it.

Here's a quick video of the car idling with a quick blip of the throttle.


If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. For what has been invested, the reserve is very modest.  You couldn't build a car like this at that price!

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.

Ford confirms launch of new Tourneo vans and Ecosport in Europe for Geneva

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

We've already seen plenty of what the Geneva Motor Show will have in store for us in less than two weeks, but most of the confirmed debuts that were announced so far have generally been luxury or performance cars. Ford, on the other hand, will be showing off a couple of its new family-friendly models for European buyers to enjoy.
On the larger side of things, the full range of Tourneo vans (shown above) will be on display, including the introduction of the new Tourneo Courier model, but Ford will also be showing off the all-new EcoSport crossover, which is based on the automaker's Global B platform and will be positioned beneath the Kuga, better known here as the Escape. The subcompact EcoSport was originally unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show last April.

Ford offering factory-spec EcoBoost reflashes that don't void warranty*

Sat, Dec 27 2014

Buy a supercharger or cold-air kit from Ford Racing and a Performance Calibration handset comes with it to reset the ECU for the upgrade. Now Ford Racing is offering the ProCal handset a la carte for $595, allowing you to reflash the ECU on your EcoBoost-equipped ride to extract more of its inherent capabilities without any additional upgrades. It gives you control of variables such as throttle response, idle speed and turbo wastegate control, among others. As for that warranty asterisk, the press release says enthusiasts can up the power "while maintaining the Ford-backed limited warranty." However Ford Motor Co. and Ford Racing are separate entities, and, best we can tell, when you reflash the ECU, your Ford warranty gets supplanted by the Ford Racing warranty. Say you bought a 2014 Ford, that means your five-year, 60,000-mile warranty becomes Ford Racing's three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, if we're reading the fine print correctly. If you have an older car and have driven more than 36,000 miles, then your warranty options are kaput, at least as far as a Ford in-house option. If have warranty concerns, you might also want to consider having a dealer perform the reflash, or at least ask about it. Once you've got past the small print, what about the numbers? At the moment Ford Racing offers tunes for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost in the Focus ST and the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the Fiesta ST, and we're told there's a 90-pound-foot boost in torque at the crank after you've pressed the right buttons. Anecdotal evidence from a commenter at Road & Track says he went from 252 horsepower at the flywheel to 254 hp at the wheels, and 272 lb-ft at the flywheel to 354 lb-ft at the wheels, but we can't be sure that his adjustments were within Ford Racing specs. Your mileage, naturally, may vary. What about custom numbers for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the 2015 Ford Mustang? They aren't ready yet, but we're told we'll get something by the end of next year.
