You are bidding on a restored 1988 LX Notchback with a fully forged 408W motor and Magnum T56 Transmission. I bought this vehicle used in 2008 in Hastings, Michigan as I decided to do a Fox body resto mod after a few New Edge mustang projects. There is none and never has been rust on the vehicle. It was stripped to bare metal for a complete show car paint job in 2012. Single stage was used in the engine bay. The paint is perfect minus one chip on the hood just under the front leading edge. The motor's horsepower is yet unknown, however estimated above 450 and runs on pump gas. The engine is tuned via a handheld Anderson Ford Motorsports PMS tuner with piggyback computer system; Ver 4. The interior was completely restored with TMI Products leather and foam with a new headliner and package tray. The carpet was Mass Back new from Late Model Restoration. The windshield and rear window is all new glass and tastefully tinted. The dash material is still stock as well as the console with the exception of the custom gauges from Florida 5.0.  The wheels are Shelby 18" rims wrapped in Potenza RE 760's (275/40/18; 255/35/18). The suspension is the Maximum Motorsports Maximum Grip package for this year Fox Body and grips like it is on rails. The exhaust system is Hooker Super Comp 1 7/8" Headers through a 3" Catted Custom X-pipe through flowmaster series 50 mufflers. The tail pipes were left deleted for suspension clearance and race appearance. The Magnum T56 transmission was purchased new from AMP Performance in Phoenix, AZ with a Quicktime bell housing and short throw shifter. The RAM HD 800Ftlb clutch glues the tranny to the motor when engaged via a billet clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster.  The Cervini hood covers the 408W with a custom chrome hood arm for showing the motor off at car shows. One exception to perfection is the limits of the AFM handheld tuner. No tuner in my immediate area is experienced in this system. I have tuned it for drivability and longevity and 14.7:1 idle and cruise driving. WOT is tuned to a comfortable 11.5:1 from 2500-6000 RPM via the Innovate Wide Band gauge mounted nicely under the climate control. The only complaint in the tuning I have is that it is a little cranky after hot starts for 60 seconds, then runs completely normal. This is due to the limitations of the PMS tuner, my personal knowledge, the 408ci and the Ford EEC IV A9L computer.  This could be rectified with a qualified tuner burning a chip for the vehicle for about $400-$450. Not something in close proximity to my location right now.  Also, the electric control switch of the side view mirrors and rear window defrost has been disabled. There has yet to be a radio reinstalled in the blanked out dash panel where the wideband gauge is mounted. The vehicle is being auctioned as is with deposit due upon auction close. Shipping is the financial and arrangement responsibility of the auction winner. This Notch is great. Its time for me to move on to another project. Fun to drive, turns every head on the 18 mile trip to work. May cause symptoms of drooling and envy among owners of lesser equipped vehicles. 90% of parts receipts available. Remaining purchase items not recorded were minor trinkets (vacuum hoses, miscellaneous fasteners, etc.) Details below. Good Luck.

Gulf-liveried Ford GT40 takes triumphant lap of the track

Sat, Apr 18 2015

Ford is heavily rumored to return to Le Mans in 2016 with the latest GT for the 50th anniversary of the GT40's first victory there. Even if the new model doesn't come back to the track, it's worth commemorating this classic racer's accomplishments, and watching one lap Miller Motorsports Park is a perfect opportunity to do that. This is almost too short of a video for the great cinematography on display. The camera floats over the curves of a Gulf-liveried GT40, while text and archival interviews tell the car's story. Then, it's finally time for the engine to fire up and get on track. The racecar highlighted here is quite fascinating, too. It started competing as a GT40-based Mirage in 1967 with the famous orange and blue color scheme and was converted fully to a Ford in '68, according to Miller Motorsports Park. In 1970 Steve McQueen bought this one to be the camera car in Le Mans, and it has been part of the Larry H. Miller Total Performance Museum since 2012. This clip is actually a promotion for a website called Inside Sales, but with the impressive production values, it's easy to imagine this as the teaser trailer for Ford's possible return to Le Mans, as well.

I'm Greg Migliore, senior editor at Autoblog with these stories and more for your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. Own a Focus ST but suffer from horsepower envy in anticipation of the Focus RS? Not a problem. A $1,900-kit from the developers at Mountune will boost your hot hatch to 275 hp and 296 pound-feet of torque, when running on 93-octane fuel. Traffic fatalities in 2015 see the largest spike in decades.

Blue Oval's new Cargo cab-over rig is largest "One Ford" initiative yet

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The imposing commercial truck above has a feature that might be surprising to most Autoblog readers - a Blue Oval emblem on the front. Here in North America, Ford simply doesn't play in the eighteen-wheeler sandbox, but that doesn't mean that the Dearborn-based automaker is absent in the heavy hauling space in other parts of the globe. In fact, Ford presently fields two completely different big rig ranges under the Cargo moniker - one a product of an Eastern Europe/Turkey joint venture, and another from Brazil. But that's about to start changing with the advent of this new cab-over model seen here.
Unveiled in São Paulo, Brazil, this new generation of Cargo is perhaps the largest physical embodiment of CEO Alan Mulally's "One Ford" global streamlining strategy. Instead of multiple models, company engineers have developed a new single truck that it says will better meet the needs of truckers in all markets. Designed to compete in what's known as the "extra heavy-duty segment" elsewhere in the world, this Cargo was developed jointly by Ford engineering teams in Brazil, Turkey and Europe.
Specifics remain hard to come by (read: unreleased), but Ford is promising an all-new engine enabling hauling capability of up to 56 tons while still returning excellent fuel economy. Ford's global Cargo lineup will henceforth consist of a dozen models, but Ford tells Autoblog has no plans to bring this hot and heavy-duty action to North America.
