 1989 FORD MUSTANG GT 5.0 Liter High Output V8
Only option this car does not have is rear window defogger, probably due to it being an Arizona car!
I'm the 2nd owner bought from a used car dealer here in Phoenix AZ, I bought it in '94 and drove it daily till 2008. I parked it and had the title marked as "STORED", this way there would be no problems registering it when I was ready to do some repairs or turn it into a street rod as I had planned to do when I parked it. It was covered most of the 5 years it has been stored and had regular starts and runs until the battery went dead. I put in a new battery and some fresh gas and it fired right up! No leaks even after 5 years when I moved it away from the spot I saw not 1 drop of anything on the concrete! I always had repairs done at a Ford Dealership directly across the street from my job. I think I have all the receipts. I have the original car stereo and amp but I didn't bother to reinstall it since I'm sure that the new buyer will not bother to use it. The car was used in car stereo competition here locally and won a trophy. There are some upgrades to the door panels making it possible to mount 2 - 6'5" speakers plus a tweeter in the front door area, with the mounting at an angle to point the speakers upward towards the listeners ears making a dramatic improvement in sound staging. The car has a very straight body and decent interior always had sheepskin covers on the seats and never had any cigarettes smoked in it. The pictures will show any closer details of any imperfections in the body including a crack in the passenger side taillight cover, a crack in the windshield, cracks in the center counsel plastic.
 It does need a few repairs to make before it will be in perfect driving order. One of them is a worn lower control arm bushing on the drivers side, the heat and sand grit tends to wear on these things, I have replaced the passenger side and have the part for the drivers side waiting to be installed. The reason I didn't install the drivers side is because the transmission developed a problem with 5th gear, when you shift into 5th gear it just freewheels, it spins but is not transferring power through the drive train. I'm not sure if the pin that holds the gears in place sheared or if there is something else wrong. It doesn't make any noises or grind it just doesn't engage the drive. Those are the only problems that exist as far as need to be fixed issues. Of course there are things that could be upgraded as with any car with higher mileage, but that's purely up to the buyer 's preferences and not really causing any real problems.
  The car is all stock and has not been raced around or driven hard, I never even got 1 speeding ticket with this car, it was always washed and had the oil changed regularly at 3000 miles. It was used mainly for a car stereo installation which lead to an upgraded alternator and custom panels. The stereo weighed about 300 Lbs with all the extra wires boxes speakers and batteries, which made the car much slower than others. I knew this and drove it as such. I have also replaced the clutch & throw out bearing, radiator, both the MAP & MAF sensors (costly little items), the fuel pump & fuel filter, the drivers side door handle was upgraded to an all metal handle, both door lock motors (pins), Mirror switch in the center counsel, rotors, brakes, smog pump, water pump, fuel injectors, the Top Engine intake was cleaned, new wires plugs and rotor, good belt, new struts, tires are a little bit larger than they should be but they are in decent shape. BF Goodrich 15" 50 series "L" sized, rub on frame in front when the wheel is turned all the way. I have a few spare tires that will go along with, also I have the original Cold Air Intake Box and K&N Filter, it now has an upgraded K&N round filter on it due to not wanting to deal with the stock box.
  It would make an excellent candidate for anyone who has a dream of building up a Fox Body Mustang
all of the parts are there and the body is straight & rust free
Most of the parts that are worn are the same parts that would be replaced in a build anyway, (springs, suspension, bushings, transmission, motor build up)
That's why I held onto it for so long, recently I was laid off from my job of 6 years and found myself faced with making a choice. The Home Owners Association here has already caused a big problem with it and I have been left with no choice since I have no cash to start the build now, I have decided to let it go!
The title has been marked as "STORED" so there will be no problem with the buyer when they decide to register it, no fines or any extra cost. This car has never failed an emissions test ever, not even close!

Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.

Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.

Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]

Sun, 16 Jun 2013

In 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.
