1988 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT!  Black Paint was done right with complete jamb paint job. Looks like a black mirror. No dents or dings. Interior is in great condition and is not faded, dash is not cracked, seat look great with no rips or tears. Carpet in good shape as well. Has a small cig burn under drives side floor mat in the corner closest to drivers door. Cannot see it with floor mats in. Sunroof has no leaks and new weather stripping. Has a JVC AM/FM CD stereo with just back speakers hooked up. Back seat and hatch area also in great shape. Center console in great shape other than the normal ashtray door issue. Power windows, power locks, keyless entry with key fob remote and alarm system with separate fuel cut off switch (keyed).

Has new carbon fiber hood, original is included and was painted at the same time as car so perfect match and in great condition, no issues with stock hood. Has brand new saleen replica wheels from American muscle with new tires as well. Hood and tires alone cost $2,000! Has new shocks, struts and springs all the way around. Springs are moog stock style springs, mainly for a better ride than the lowering springs! Brakes are good all the way around with new drums in the back and pads all around. Has welded in subframe connectors with seat brackets, and full stainless exhaust including ford racing shorty headers, bassani catted x-pipe and stainless the rest of the way back including mufflers. Has a great muscle car sound, but not crazy loud. 

5.0 motor runs strong. Ford Racing shorty headers, Ford Racing Spark Plug wires, Ford Racing power steering relocation kit and A/C Delete, CAI, JEGS 100 amp chrome alternator, Chrome coil area cover, new radiator, new fan shroud, new battery, underdrive pulleys, wiring cleaned up nicely and front and side portion of engine compartment detailed out as well. I broke off the dipstick tube when installing the new headers and the remainder of the dipstick is stuck in the block. I can't get it, but I am sure a garage could pop it out easy and put in the new one that is included! It doesn't use oil at all. This is still a SPEED DENSITY car! Last year for them! Also has a rebuilt rearend with 3:73 gears and correct speedo gear as well.

I will also include any take off parts that you want. I have saved everything and bagged and tagged it all. From old Fan shroud, working radiator, alternator, etc. I will also include a set of original 87-88 Turbine wheels with nice Fusion directional tires as well.

Overall, this is a great looking, running and driving vehicle. There is no body or frame rust at all. If you have any questions, just ask! text or call me at 260-341-7726, or use the ebay system to shoot me a question. Not looking for trades, and reserve is set below what the new paint alone would cost!

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
