Hello everyone. Up for bids is my 1987 Saleen Mustang. It is car number 87-186. It is finished in the original 1D dark grey and was painted about 6 years ago. This Mustang wears all of its original VIN tagged sheet metal. Never wrecked. NOS quarter windows were replaced after the re paint. Originals were faded pretty bad. All of the Saleen specific parts are with the car. I have done a few performance enhancing upgrades since I have owned it. The engine is original but the cylinder heads have been replaced with 1995 vintage Lightning GT 40 type. The intake manifold is an Explorer GT 40 type. The valvetrain has 1.7 roller rockers. Exhaust is Ford Motorsport headers going in to a NOS original catalytic convertor H-pipe and 2 1/2 inch Flowmaster cat back system with polished tail pipes. All of the original emissions and thermactor pieces are on the car and functional. Passed a smog check in Las Vegas NV a couple of years ago with no problems. The rear axle has a 3.27 gear. Tires are 5 years old and are BF Goodrich G-Force KDW. They have about 10k miles on them.

The interior is in Good condition with some fading on the drivers seat side bolster. Has all of the original interior pieces. The original Kenwood has been replaced by a later model and looks very close to the original. I have the original Kenwood stereo. This Saleen runs and drives great. I got 25 mpg on a trip to Las Vegas this past spring. Was shown at the Mustang 50th Anniversary show in Las Vegas. This is a very nice example of a foxbody Saleen that I get compliments on every time I drive it.

Forgot to mention that all of the accessories including power windows and locks are in working condition. The A/C blows cold. The discrepancy on the odometer reading is a result of the state of New Mexico not adding a 1 for the 100k. The car shouldn't be dinged from Autocheck for that but it is what it is. I have other pics available too if interested.

Also I have a copy of the Marti report. I can send a copy to anyone interested. It shows being ordered through Damerow Ford in Beaverton Oregon. The car has both the Saleen buck tag and Ford buck tag on the core support. The Saleen has absolutely NO RUST. Has been in a desert environment most of its life.

Ford profits soar as problems mount

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."

Ford opens 88 new dealerships in China in a single day

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

"Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last year." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China during the first half of 2014." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last month." None of those statements - even the last one - would seem unbelievable. Saying "Ford opened up 88 dealerships in China last Thursday," though, is a bit more dramatic.
Yes, on June 19 alone, Ford opened the doors on nearly 100 showrooms in the People's Republic, boosting the Blue Oval's total presence in the country to 750 dealerships. Of course, while an overabundance of dealers in the US proved troublesome for American manufacturers back in 2008 and 2009, there's no such concern in China. Considering the country's huge population and the breakneck pace of the local auto industry, you could be forgiven for being surprised Ford only has 750 outlets at this stage.
What's notable about this most recent push, besides the sheer volume of new stores, is their location. Over three-quarters of the new dealerships are in so-called Tier 4 cities, which are smaller towns that still contain millions of people. This fits with Ford's strategy in China of avoiding the bigger battlegrounds that are already dominated by competitors and focusing on setting up shop in newer markets that may have been overlooked, according to Automotive News.

Watch a Ford Bronco casually jump a McLaren 720S

Sun, Sep 8 2019

Michael Cox can't stop jumping his classic Ford Bronco. He's jumped it on the beach. He's jumped it in the desert. He's jumped it at racetracks. Now he's jumped it in Hoonigan's backyard playground. Upping the ante on this one, he completed the jump while a modded McLaren 720S drifted underneath. For those who don't know Michael Cox, he's a builder, racer, mad man extraordinaire who's worked with BMW and Porsche and specializes in off-road racing. Possibly more famous than the man is the vehicle he's known for driving, a custom-built Bronco that sports a cat-themed desert camo wrap. Technically, this is not the first time Cox has visited Hoonigan and jumped his Bronco. But last time, the Bronco soared over nothing but tire crumbs and those tiny pebbles that get stuck in tread. This time, the stakes grew significantly, as a custom 720S drifted under the Bronco while it was in the air. After a few donuts, Cox first tries a jump over a flatbed trailer. Once he easily clears that obstacle, Hoonigan brings the McLaren into the picture. Watch the video above to see a few crazy men show total disregard for the cost of a supercar.
