This mustang has been built right. 100% show quality, looks better than new. No expense spared. Exterior, all trim, engine, trans, rearend, EVERYTHING.  It was a west coast car with zero rust when I got it.  75k miles.  The car was in great condition aside from the paint sun baked.  I had this car stripped down…the RIGHT way.  Doors, hatch, fenders, hood, bumpers, trim, glass all taken out.  Car was sanded, primed and painted better than factory.  Extra charcoal in the black mix, extra clear coat, wet sanded and buffed.  No swirls, mirror finish, darker and shinier than a brand new black car. No tape lines.  Even the door jambs and inside the hatch etc were all prepped and sprayed while it was apart.  Just the paint alone cost $4,500.00.  I easily have 25k wrapped up in this car…and it shows.  You have to see it in person to appreciate it.  Beautiful, rare, black on black 25th anniversary mustang.  Not a scratch, dent, swirl, or chip on it.  Everything is like a new car or better.  I have added a couple pics from before so you can see it was not a basket case.  It looked good already, never seen snow or salt.  There is not even surface rust anywhere underneath the car on any panels or frame rails(uni body).  I wanted it show perfect, not just cruise by perfect.  I am just extremely particular and I have to have my vehicles perfect cosmetically and mechanically.  IT IS LASER STRAIGHT.  No waves in any panels.   (the pics from before resto, it has 4 lug draglites and stock headlights).

While the car was apart, I added a Cervinis 4" Cowl hood(painted under as well), new windshield AND both brand new NOS quarter glasses($500 each, couldn't stand weathered surrounds), ALL new trim around windows and doors(rubber and plastic), ALL new weatherstripping, new doorhandles, new pins and bushings everywhere(doors shut like a cadillac), and new smoked headlights and taillights.

In some pics the car has centerline split spoke wheels, others it has my weld RT/S wheels, and some it has pro stars.  Car will come with the like new pro stars, unless otherwise talked about with me.  I also own a 78 Fairmont I am finishing, and thats the only reason I am considering selling this.  Please do not insult me.  Everything I have is paid for and I don't HAVE to sell this.  I just don't have the time and space.  I have a ton of money and work wrapped up in this car.  Its a very fast, reliable, well built, and show quality street/strip car that fires right up and cruises at highway speed comfortably in 5th or 6th gear.  No expense spared.  No details have been overlooked.  
 
I am more than happy to take pics anywhere on this car, inside and out, in any area you would like.  It has no issues.  If you are concerned with any problem areas, let me know and I can take photos to assure you.  I am sure I am forgetting things.  Just write me and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

The history and future of the Ford Bronco

Tue, 17 Jun 2014



Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.

Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
