Okay, for starters, this is a collector's car. It has 40,525 original
miles. The car, up until February 2013 (when I got it as a birthday
present), was 100% stock. It is about as close to "mint condition" as
you can get.
When I got the car in Feb, the first thing I did was add a pretty decent sound-system. I can't give you all the specs, but the head unit was replaced with a top-of-the-line Alpine (bluetooth, mp3, usb, phone, etc) and the speakers in the doors and back seat were replaced. A custom box and 10" (might be a 12") sub & amp were installed in the trunk. Interestingly enough, the geniuses at Best Buy (who had a blank check from me) forgot to put dash speakers in, so the dash speakers are currently disconnected. Anyway, the system sounds great. I can provide receipts for the $1700 I spent at Best Buy. Then, a few months ago, I dropped off the car at a local specialty performance shop for a tune up, and they ended up replacing the radiator with a large electric 3-core version (I think I remember this correctly), and then I asked them to move on and replace the exhaust, so they added shorty headers, high flow catalytic converter H-pipe, and Flowmaster 2-chamber mufflers. It sounds great. They also added a host of other simple "bolt-ons", like K&N filter & mass air, etc etc, but I don't remember all of this off the top of my head. The total cost was $4200. They didn't fix the brakes. I ordered a rear disc brake conversion kit, but got tired of waiting after 5 weeks and canceled that part. I would seriously recommend upgrading the brakes on the car when you get it. They work no problem, but just aren't what I would prefer. A total of 1500 Limited Edition white LX convertibles were manufactured in 1993. I can assure you that there are no more than 1499 of them in existence today, since the one i bought when I was 16 (1996) was stolen and chopped to pieces. Saddest day of my life. This car is 1 of 1056 automatics, and it is in better condition than the car I had in the '90s. But it does have a few issues that have developed since I got it: 1) the back driver's side slim window does not go up or down automatically. It can be moved up and down, and the motor still works, but I think that it jumped off track and needs to be corrected. I haven't had the time to deal with it, but again, the motor sounds to be working correctly. 2) the passenger's side electronics don't work that well. For example, you can use the switch on the driver's side door to operate the passenger windows, but you cannot operate the passenger window from the passenger seat. Again, the windows on the passenger side go up and down just fine, but not with the buttons on the passenger side. 3) the plastic molding around the driver's side interior door handle is somehow missing half of it. This is probably a few bucks to repair, but you should know about it. 4) the ash tray cover in the center console doesn't close or stay closed. Pretty standard for this car, but again, want you to know. 5) I rubbed up against the front-left bumper with my ATV and left a little rubber scuffing on the bumper. I buffed out most of it, but need a professional to get it back to normal. It's not broken at all, but could use a bit of touching up from someone that knows what they're doing. Chances are good that by the time you come by to see the car, this will be fixed, but it's a SLIGHT mark at the present moment. Otherwise, the car starts, runs, shifts, etc etc etc in near perfect condition. The top goes up and down automatically without incident, doesn't leak, isn't cracked or falling apart. Everything on this car other than stated above is original, and looks that way too. The car looks and runs like a vehicle with 40,xxx miles on it. It's really amazing to drive...it's such a little car (it was much bigger when I was 16), and it's so sporty. I get compliments on it every time I leave the driveway, and it's really something different on the road today. I'm not excited to sell it. My kids love it and I'll miss the top-down excitement this spring. But, I'm traveling quite a bit now on business out of the country and it might as well go to a new home where someone can enjoy it more than I am at the moment. Thanks for reading and safe travels! |

Entertainment Weekly gets a peek into the 'Ford vs. Ferrari' film
Tue, May 28 2019The 20th Century Fox film "Ford v Ferrari" is scheduled to open Nov. 15. The movie tells a story enthusiasts can't get tired of, and that Ford has turned into two profitable automotive revivals: the double-cross that led to the no-expense-spared revenge that spawned the Ford GT40 and four successive victories at Le Mans. Entertainment Weekly spoke to the primary actors in the piece and got shots from the set. Matt Damon plays Carroll Shelby, the man Ford recruited to run the GT40 program after the race car performed poorly in its first year of international racing in 1964. Christian Bale plays Ken Miles, an English version of Shelby who could build and drive winning cars. Miles was so good that when racing one of his "Miles Specials," a Cooper-Porsche he improved and drove for California Porsche dealer Johnny von Neumann, he beat the factory Porsches so often that the Stuttgart automaker took Miles' car away. The movie focuses on the first year of the GT40's winning run, in 1966 after the car had become the GT40 MkII. Bale calls the story a "David vs. Goliath vs. Goliath" battle, because Shelby and Miles had to fight Ford as well as Ferrari. "It's these two friends figuring out how do you deal with these a–holes in suits who know nothing about racing," he said. And even though the cars won the fight on track, the two men didn't always win the fights with their paymasters. The three-way finish Ford staged at the end of the race cheated Miles of victory. Miles had been laps ahead of the second-place GT40 driven by Bruce McLaren at the time, but slowed down to let the car catch up. After the three-abreast finish, race organizers said McLaren's car started the race behind Miles, and by finishing with Miles had covered 60 feet more than Miles during the race. They declared McLaren and Chris Amon the winners. The story of how they got to that point — which director James Mangold called "Butch and Sundance in the world of racing" — promises more twists and turns than the Le Mans circuit, and some open flame; video on YouTube shows Damon-as-Shelby being set on fire in one scene. We admit to a bit of concern when Mangold says, "This is much more of a relationship movie and less a historical document." Yet it sounds like he's done his best to get the racing right, so all won't be lost no matter what. Head over to EW to check out the full story and more photos.
Ford Fiesta RS with 250 horsepower mooted
Thu, Jan 29 2015We know Ford is unveiling a new Focus RS on February 3, and it's heavily rumored to arrive brandishing an all-wheel-drive powertrain and as much as 350 horsepower. The folks at Ford Performance have also promised they are working on at least 12 models through 2020, and that still leaves a lot of time to get additional exciting vehicles out the door. One of those could be an RS version of the Fiesta, according to Evo. An RS take on the latest Fiesta would obviously need substantial boosts in both power and handling ability to warrant the work over the current top Fiesta ST (pictured above), which is already one of our favorite cars. Evo speculates that the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder could be tuned further, possibly up to about 250 horsepower, and the high-performance hatch might even take some inspiration from the Fiesta WRC rally car with an all-wheel drive system. An unnamed Ford spokesperson remained cagey about the chances for the pint-sized hot hatch to Evo, though. "We can't say anything at this moment, but we have promised to produce 12 performance models in the coming years. We'll leave it for you to decide whether that includes a Fiesta at this moment," the source said to the magazine. Evo doesn't expect a launch across the pond until at least 2017, if it actually happens. Of course, there's the lingering question of whether such a niche project would work in the US. In Europe, the Fiesta RS would challenge similarly diminutive speedsters like the Volkswagen Polo R and Audi S1, but true competitors of an equivalent size here would be much more scarce. In fact with 250 hp, the hotter Fiesta could provide unwelcome competition within Blue Oval showrooms for the Focus ST.
