The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Overall the car is in excellent condition, mechanically it is near perfect. All flaws are detailed better in the description, but the front tires are getting old, there is some paint oxidation on the front and rear bumper panels, and there is a small dent on the bottom of the passenger door. The rest of the paint is great, but does show some signs of age since it is a 96. Please read the entire description and look at all of the pictures! Also ask questions if you are unsure about anything."

This is a beautiful 96 Mustang with less than 80,000 miles! The car is 100% original and rust free with a black leather interior and a 5-speed transmission. One good thing about this car is that it has never been messed with and altered with a bunch of after market parts and still retains factory reliability. The car has never been beat on which is obviously very uncommon for a mustang. The proof for this is that close to 80,000 miles the original tires from 96 were finally changed and not because the tread was gone, but because they were dried out and started to crack.

This car has also been recently maintained and updated so whoever buys it will be able to drive it without the need to do anything. Here is a list of recent updates:
6/13/13 74,603 miles - Kuhmo AST tires on the rear ($292)
6/20/13 75,204 miles - Motul Engine Clean oil flush, oil change with Royal Purple Oil ($74 for filter and oil) and transmission fluid change with Royal Purple Synchomax ($68 just for fluid)
6/25/13 75,676 miles - NGK Laster Iridium Premium Plugs ($86 not including labor)
7/5/13 Gas Mileage Check, 24.78mpg with 240 miles driven at 75mph


Here is a break down to the best of my knowledge of each area of the car. ALL know issues will be addressed!

Engine - All original, ZERO problems, starts right up, runs very strong and smooth, no missing, idles perfect.
Engine accessories - Belt tension pulley occasionally squeaks but goes away once the car is warmed up.
Transmission - Shifts 100% perfectly, synchronizers are great, no issues at all.
Interior - All gauges work, no check engine lights are on, the radio has been replaced with a cd player, black leather that is in excellent condition for a 96. The dash and door panels are literally brand new in appearance, and the carpet is very nice too. The only flaw with the interior is that although the carpet is very nice, you can tell that people have driven the car before meaning that for a 96 its probably about the best you can get.
Suspension - The car rides excellent with no complaints, but there is a squeak in the front passenger side during slow speeds when there are bumps. The car drives down the road straight too but will need any alignment as some point because the steering wheel is slightly off while driving straight.
Body - The body itself is in great shape and all of the lines and body panels line up perfectly. The passenger side door has a small dent/scratch on the bottom rear corner from where a vehicle slightly bumped into it in a parking lot. There are 2 pictures showing the damage.
Paint - All of the metal panels look great as far as the paint goes, but keep in mind the paint is from 96 so it does show some age but still shines bright and looks great! There is some oxidation on the plastic front/rear bumper panels and I took several pictures of that too.
Tires/brakes - Rear tires are brand new, the front ones will need replaced somewhat soon. The brakes have life left as they don't make any noises and the car stops just fine!
Other - The A/C does work! It blows very cold! There are power windows and locks as well.

If you have any questions about anything please feel free to contact me and I will respond as soon as possible.

Rare Ford Mustang ASC McLaren is a piece of '80s history

Wed, Jun 1 2016

You can't blame the dealer for advertising this oddball convertible as a "Ford Mustang McLaren." The name certainly rolls off the tongue better than "Ford Mustang ASC McLaren," and it makes the car sound a whole lot more appealing. However, without the 'ASC' in there, you don't get the full picture. And when it comes to the world of strange automotive collaborations—particularly those of the 80s—you most definitely want the full picture. ASC McLaren Mustangs were the result of fortuitous timing, and a project that was already underway between the American Sunroof Company and McLaren (no, not that McLaren). Detroit custom car builder Peter Muscat brought the idea of a Mustang with a tonneau cover to ASC after chopping the top off a Fox body on his own, and in turn ASC founder Heinz Pretcher brought the concept to Ford. Big blue was already in the midst of relaunching a Mustang convertible, which had been absent from the lineup for 10 years, so initially it was the Mercury Capri that got the ASC/McLaren treatment. The result was a car that was more expensive than a Mustang GT, and coupled with declining sales of the Capri overall, the car was discontinued in 1986, paving the way for the ASC McLaren Mustang you see here on eBay. With the change over to the Mustang as their platform for modification in 1987, ASC McLaren were given the opportunity to create something notable. Customizing the Capri was one thing, but the Mustang name carries with it iconic status. So what did ASC McLaren do with their chance to leave their mark on automotive history? They gave the car some visual modifications, both inside and out, but like the Capri, left the powertrain untouched. Also like the Capri, the cars still ended up costing more than $20,000. Between the high price, the economic woes of the late 80s, and disputes between Muscat and Pretcher, the ASC McLaren Mustangs were no more by 1990. During the three year run, 1,806 ASC McLaren conversions were completed, making them quite rare, especially low mileage examples like this one. The 5.0 V8s are known for being stout engines, capable of handling serious modification, and logging lots of miles, so there are no concerns there. The 5-speed Borg-Warner transmission that came in all Mustang GTs is also known for being a durable unit, the '87-'90 versions especially so. The main concern here would be the life the car has lived, and more importantly where it has lived.
