For sale is my 1988 Ford Mustang LX Convertible. This car is in amazing condition. This car has only 32K original miles. This is a truly special, non-modified Mustang. This car has never been raced, modified, driven in snow, or stored outside. It is easy to see that with such low miles, that the car is so clean.
Inside everything works as it should. All of the power window controls work. The car still retains the factory "premium" sound system that works like new. All of the gauges work properly. For a summer car the most important functions also perform perfect. The car recently had the air conditioning recharged and blows cold. The power convertible top also goes up and down with ease. The hinges open and close freely.
Under the hood the 5.0 is very clean. The only thing that is not stock is a K&N air filter. The 5 Speed transmission shifts easily. The exhaust, while not loud has a nice little rumble. The car still wears its factory exhaust system, with Ford stampings on the mufflers.
The body is in great shape. There is absolutely zero rust on the car. The paint still shines well and the black trim still retains its color, and is not faded out like many other Fox Body Mustangs. Every body panel has the factory body tag.
I can't say that the car is perfect, but it truly is as nice of a Fox Body as you will find anywhere. I will let the pictures do the talking. I will answer all questions as timely as possible. The car is for sale in Stevens Point, WI. I encourage you to come and take a look at this car in person.
A $500 down payment is due within 48 hours. Complete payment is due within 7 days. I reserve the right to end the auction early. There is NO implied warranty, car is sold AS IS.

Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Chip Foose tastefully enhances his personal Ford GT
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Typically, we'd expect a vehicle from 2006 to fall well short of a more modern vehicle, both in terms of performance and style. Of course, the Ford GT is not your average offering from the Bush era. That's doubly true when the 2006 GT in question belongs to one Chip Foose.
Purchased by his wife as a 50th birthday present, Foose is showing his custom, personalized GT at the 2014 SEMA Show. The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 breathes a bit easier thanks to a full Magnaflow Performance exhaust, but Foose's GT isn't all about the performance.
Instead, the car customizer extraordinaire has focused on tasteful aesthetic enhancement, tweaking the rear end by removing the bumper and trimming the frame extensions. The wheels, meanwhile, are one-off aluminum alloys, designed by Foose himself. Like the stripes, the wheels feature orange accenting.
