This car is just about the way it was in 1996, showroom new-only 17 years older. It has been babied from day one.  The first owner bought the car from McCrackin Ford in Pittsburg, PA.  He owned 2 Pizza restaurants and didn't have time to drive the car. My son saw the car advertised on the internet and called from South Korea, where he was stationed with the Air Force, and said he wanted that car.  We acquired the car with about 1200(?) miles on the odometer.  We drove the car to our home in Virginia and parked it in our garage. Our son finally flew in from Korea and drove the car to Little Rock, AR. He got about 27 MPG on the trip back to Arkansas. The paint on the car is immaculate.  There is one small spot on the passenger side of the driving light where the paint lifted (see picture).The back seat looks like its never been sat on. The headliner, dash and carpet are in very good condition with no tears or rips.  The engine compartment and trunk are also very clean.  I don't think the spare tire has ever been out of the trunk. He lived on base and rode his bicycle to work a lot of the time instead of driving the car. He enjoyed taking the car to drive-in events and car shows.  He washed and waxed the car before every show. He saw a Dodge Viper advertised in Atlanta, GA. So we went to Atlanta to look at the Viper. We drove the Viper home and the Mystic was parked in my shop. I have a 50X100 foot insulated shop. My son spent two tours in Saudi and Afganistan with a side trip to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Then he got reassigned to Las Vegas and then to Abilene, TX. He decided not to take the car to Las Vegas or Texas, so the car lives in my shop.  I keep the car in running condition. We put AMSOIL synthetic oil in the car (I'm an AMSOIL dealer) and start it up and run it for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. I drive it around the driveway to keep the seals, etc, lubricated. The only modifications made to the car are tinted windows and a new battery. I still have the original battery (if you want it for displaying in the car at shows, etc).  I think we threw away the original oil filter. We keep a car cover on the car when not driving it. The car cover can go with the car (if you want it). We have enjoyed the car and are still amazed that the car turns different colors when the light hits it from different directions.  It is a very pretty shade of green and changes colors to purple, root beer brown and a golden color depending on where you are and where the light is coming from. (It was really fun when getting the car tagged when they asked what color it was!) It also turns peoples heads when they pass it on the street. My daughter-in-law saw a plum crazy SRT Challenger and absolutely had to have it so its time to sell the Cobra.  We have a binder with the original window sticker, the letter from Ford SVT verifying that the car is #139 of 2000 with the Mystic paint, a certificate of authenticity, a sales brochure specifically for the 1996 Mustang Cobra SVT, including the salesman's business card.  We also have a clear title.  We used the car as collateral for the loan.  The credit union placed a lien on the car but stamped it paid in full when the loan was paid. If you need additional information please feel free to ask any questions.  I'm not a wizard on the computer so it may take a while to get any questions you may have answered, but I will try to quickly resolve any concerns you may have about the car.  I don't think you will be disappointed when you see the car in person.

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.

GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups

Wed, 19 Feb 2014

Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.

2015 Ford Mustang leaked in Autoweek

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

We would have to imagine that Ford knew it couldn't keep its 2015 Mustang under wraps for too long, and with only days to go before the pony car's official unveiling, the dam seems to be cracking. SVTPerformance.com member Screamin 40th just posted some images taken of the sixth-gen Mustang prominently featured in and on the cover of the December 9 issue of Autoweek magazine.
These images show that recent renderings we saw weren't too far off. The face is just like what we saw in spy shots a few months back, but the rear of the car features some of its more striking cues. Starting with the pronounced haunches and hidden B-pillars, the rear view of the new Mustang might be its best with the ridged, three-bar taillights, a rear diffuser and the lack of a faux gas cap, which allows the galloping pony to be an even more prominent element against the black trim.
The images also reveal a small portion of the updated interior carrying over retro themes like the deep-dish steering wheel and dual-gauge instrument cluster, but it also adds some modern tech with a big infotainment displays and a clean center stack layout. No official word on powertrain or other specs, but while we can't make out most of the magazine's text, our eyes did catch mentions of an independent rear suspension and a 200-pound weight reduction.
