1989 Saleen #031 of 161 built to celebrate mustangs 25th anniversary. This car has never been titled ( Still out on Mso ) or registered. Always in climate controlled storage. Still has that new car smell. I have owned this car for almost 10 years and put less than 10 miles on it. Everything on the car works including the cockpit adjustable suspension. I have entered the car in 3 shows and taken first every time. The car was in the 2011 Houston Autorama and won best in class. The 2013 Mustang club of America show in Beaumont won gold award. The 2013 Saleen Nationals won best in class. You will not find a nicer car. Everything on the car (except for the oil filter and battery ) is stock including the general tires which are still in great shape with no signs of dry rot.

The Saleen ssc came with hand stitched leather interior, factory roll bar, 200 mph speedometer, rear seat delete, high-flow heads and modified intake, 4-wheel disc brakes etc... The M.S.R.P. on this car was $36,500 back in 1989.

Here is a rare chance to own a true museum piece just before the 50th anniversary. I have lots of documentation with the car, including pictures of this car being built at Saleen.

This car is also for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction early if sold locally.

I have had numerous responses to end the auction now and I appreciate the response, but I think the fair thing to do will be to let the auction run it's course. The car is no longer for sale locally.  This is a no reserve auction. Thanks to everyone for the interest, and the high bid wins. If there are questions or concerns about the car please give me call at 713-498-9806.  Thanks Seth

Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.

Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.

How the 2015 Ford Mustang will save your knees

Sat, 21 Jun 2014

The 2015 Mustang is one of the most hotly anticipated vehicles of the moment, and Ford continues to leak out interesting little details about its newest pony car. The latest info doesn't have anything to do with its quarter-mile time or handling, but if any of that goes drastically wrong, the innovative new glovebox-mounted airbag may prevent passengers from knee injuries.
All variants of the 2015 Mustang get the active knee airbag as standard, and it's the first vehicle in Ford's lineup to receive the system. The setup is actually quite simple and ingenious. The glovebox is made from a plastic outer panel that is attached to the inner door. Sandwiched between them is this new injection-molded plastic bladder that folds flat when in use. If the passenger-side airbag deploys, the system springs into action to act as a cushion for your knees. Compared to a traditional knee airbag that has to fully inflate, this arrangement is 65 percent lighter and can use a 75 percent smaller inflator. It's also basically invisible when you look at the glovebox door.
Ford spokesperson Ed Saenz declined to tell Autoblog whether the system will appear in other vehicles in the Blue Oval's lineup but said, "We're considering other applications." Provided it's effective, the approach seems too simple not to make its way to other products. Scroll down to watch a video showing how the glovebox-mounted knee airbag works.
