1987 Ford Mustang Lx T-top White With Black Interior on 2040-cars
Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, United States
|
For auction here is my 1987 Mustang LX with the rare T top option. The t top was discontinued in September of 1987 so not many Mustangs of this body style were optioned this way, especially the LX. I have owned the car since 2006 and have done a lot of work to it over the years. I have installed the complete drivetrain from a 1992 LX so the car has the mass air flow 8 spark plug 2.3 and the computer controlled automatic transmission. The engine runs well and has fresh plugs, wires, and crank sensor. The transmission works well in all gears and has a fresh filter, fluid, and front pump seal. The car is fully driveable. It has been restored in the original Oxford White and looks very nice, but does have some problem areas. There are a couple small bubbles in some areas and the lower part of the front bumper was damaged when the car was hauled home when the crank sensor had failed. It is registered as an antique in PA and the plate can be transferred if desired to a PA buyer. It is also listed as reconstructed, however I do not know why, and the title is in my name. The car is lowered with Intrax springs all around. The steering rack is a 15:1 unit and the car has V8 sway bars. The wheels are custom painted Turbo Coupe 16X7s and the tires are 205/55/16s in good condition. The front brakes are converted to 11" rotors with V8 spindles, and most of the hardlines on the car are replaced. The interior was originally Blue, and has been converted to Black using mostly original black parts. There are some interior items that still need finished such as the headliner, the door panels will need small filler panels, etc. The lower rear seat is the original one dyed, and I am including an original black one that will need the fastening modified since it is a 1992 seat. The heater core is new and the heat works well. The AC is not hooked up and is missing a few underhood items. The car has all 1992 wiring harnesses in it including the dash, so the mileage shown at 138K is from the donor car. This car has 140K but all mechanicals have 138K. The rearend is an 8.8 unit with 3.55 gears and a Traction Lok differential with additional clutches. The doors are from a 1987 LX that had manual windows and locks which is what I wanted. I will include the original doors if desired which are all power, but they are rusty. The t-tops leak, so I purchased new seals that I never installed, and those are included as well. The original key is included for the t-tops and all the keys for the doors and ignition work well. Please review all photos and ask any questions, and please only bid if you have good feedback and want to own the car. I wanted to add that the car has a BBK 155 LPH fuel pump, and the chassis has been painted with POR-15. The door hinges have all been rebuilt with new pins and bushings.

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values
Tue, 18 Mar 2014We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.
EPA says fuel economy test for hybrids is accurate
Mon, 26 Aug 2013
The EPA says it stands behind its fuel economy test for hybrid vehicles following controversy about the testing process after Ford C-Max Hybrid customers and automotive journalists alike struggled to achieve 47 miles per gallon, the advertised mpg number, Automotive News reports. Ford responded to the issue almost two weeks ago by claiming that a 1970s-era EPA general label rule was responsible for the inaccurate mileage numbers, rerating the C-Max Hybrid's mpg numbers and offering customers rebates. Ford later said it didn't overstate the C-Max Hybrid's fuel economy and that it was surprised by the low numbers.
Ford technically didn't do anything wrong because it was following the general label rule, but agency regulator Christopher Grundler says the automaker was exploiting a loophole when it came up with the hybrid C-Max numbers, and that the testing process remains accurate. The general label rule allows vehicles that use the same engine and transmission and are in the same weight class to share fuel economy numbers, but it doesn't take into account other factors such as aerodynamic efficiency, which affects hybrids more drastically than non-hybrid vehicles. Ford originally used the Fusion Hybrid economy figures for the C-Max Hybrid and claimed the engineers didn't realize that its aerodynamic efficiency would affect fuel economy as much as it did.
