I finally decided to sell my 1999 Mustang GT Convertible (35th Anniversary) instead of finishing it.  I have two convertibles already and recently bought another project car so I need some space in my garage.  Ford only made a little over 14,000 of these in this color and I'm sure most of them are already in the grave.  Similar to all of the 1999 GT's, it has the anniversary badges on the fenders where the GT logo normally goes and it has the factory 17" wheels.

 

Here is a list of the cosmetic items:

  • Leather interior is in good condition - no tears, rips, holes but Driver's seat does show some wear
  • Interior is in good shape, carpet is reasonable but not perfect.  Dash and console are in good shape, the interior door grab-handle inserts have the same issue everyone else has, they just come loose over the years because of the plastic clip design.  No foul smells or anything, smells good and clean.
  • Convertible top is in good shape, no rips or holes or anything - the glass in the back is clear and solid.  The canvas edge-trimming is showing some small signs of wear from having the top down, but hardly noticeable.  Top goes up and down without stalling or binding and fits nice and tight
  • Paint & Clearcoat has a great shine, I've cut it and buffed it to help bring out some shine with a very mild polish so there is still a lot more gloss that could be buffed up.  It looks like it was resprayed since the factory paint, it's too glossy to be original
  • New headlights (old lights were just fogged beyond repair when I bought it)
  • New Taillights (one of them was cracked when I bought it so I a bought new set)
  • Tires have well over 70% left on them

 

Here is the list of mechanical items:

  • Stock 4.6 SOHC engine
  • Automatic transmission w/overdrive and traction control
  • New valve seals and valve keepers (they were shot when I bought it)
  • New valve springs
  • New valve gaskets and timing cover gasket
  • New IAC valve
  • New K&N Cold Air intake kit
  • Aftermarket exhaust with a nice deep rumble (H-pipe layout)
  • New fuel injectors
  • New Coil-On plug boots and factory-recommended plugs
  • New timing chains and tensioners
  • New battery
  • Has the redesigned metal coolant cross-over on the intake manifold - Ford recalled a bunch of these when the original cheap plastic cross-overs kept breaking
  • Unfortunately for me, cylinder #1 is just not holding good compression and has a misfire.  I've spent enough already and I'm done, I'm in too deep on this one already to put any more money in it.  I don't know what's wrong with it, might be a cheap fix or might be expensive - but I'm not spending any more time or money on it.  The car books out around $7,500 so there should be plenty of room to buy it and fix it.

I would not personally consider the car road safe, with the low compression on cylinder #1 it has a terrible misfire.  The buyer will need to trailer the car home or have it shipped and I can work with the buyer to make arrangements to get it shipped - it's not that expensive and well worth it.

 

Let me know if you have any questions, I try to answer messages in the evenings so give me a little time and I'll respond.  If I see anyone bidding with a feedback of less than 5 I'll be cancelling your bid unless you contact me first.  Also, if you don't pay when you win you're only ruining it for everyone else - so don't bid if you don't have the cash.  Title is in-hand and clear, I'm ready to take a loss and move on so bid to win!

Ford to auction Mustang Cobra Jet prototype for charity [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Prototypes developed by major automakers typically remain in said company's custody, but every once in a while, one trickles out into private hands. And that's just what we have here. Ford is donating a one-of-a-kind factory prototype for the 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet that will be auctioned off later this month by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 mated to a T4 competition gearbox, this rare Cobra Jet prototype includes a wheelie bar, chromoly roll cage, Weld wheels, three-link rear suspension, racing brakes, 9-inch rear axle and more. It's painted in a unique satin orange with reflective gray striping scheme, bears the serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1 and is fully ready for NHRA competition on the drag strip.
To be offered with no reserve on Saturday, September 28, 2013, the Cobra Jet prototype's winning bidder will also receive tutelage at Roy Hill's Drag Racing School in Sophia, NC, along with tours of the Ford Product Development Center, Ford Racing headquarters and Ford Design Studios with Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Scope out the video and details below for what could be the ultimate Mustang experience for a good cause.

Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007

Sat, 21 Sep 2013

Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype sells for $7M

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.
