Please message me with questions at: eldridge.dusatko@openmail.cc . This is your opportunity to own a much desired “Fox Body” Ford Mustang coupe / notchback. This is a rotisserie
restored 1989 Mustang LX coupe built as a “Pro Touring” car and has been featured in issue 5 of Fox Mustang
Magazine. This Mustang had less than 23,000 miles on it when the restoration began, so it started out as a near
perfect body with no rust. Only 300 break-in miles have been logged on this Mustang since the completion of the
restoration.
The paint is a dark metallic gray over a lighter silver, separated by a thin orange stripe. The mirror shine paint
job is flawless, and above the quality that you see on most cars at high end car shows. The metallic in the dark
gray really stands out in the sun and under bright lights.
The engine is a stout 347 stroker engine rated at 519HP with worked Trick Flow heads; Vortech S-Trim Supercharger
with 48-pound Trick Flow injectors fed by an Aeromotive fuel system; MSD ignition; Crane cam and a long list of
other goodies. The transmission is a Tremec T600.
The exhausts starts with a pair of short tube Doug’s headers, a 2.5 inch stainless X-pipe and Flowmaster 40
Series mufflers that gives it an aggressive but subdued exhaust note at idle hinting at the high performance
experience that goes with this vehicle. Suspension is adjustable coil-overs on all 4 corners.
Wheels are FR500 10-spokes with Nitto 235/45ZR17 tires up front and NT555 P275/40R17 Extreme Drag Radial rubber in
the rear. Once rolling the AeroSpace disc brakes on all 4 corners slow things down with the help of drilled and
slotted rotors.
The interior is all brand new as well; it has custom two tone leather seats to mimic the exterior colors of the
car. Water Temp, Boost Press and Air Fuel gauges are tastefully mounted to driver’s side windshield pillar. It
also has a custom fit role bar / cage painted the same dark metallic gray as the top of the outside of the car. A
high end stereo system made up of a Pioneer AM/FM/CD player and a Bazooka sub-woofer complete the total interior
package.
Driving this car is incredible. It is a contradiction of sensations with the mix of raw power that’s available
instantly at any RPM and in any gear, combined with the predictability of the suspension, the right tires,
lightweight wheels and spot-on aftermarket brakes.

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority

Sat, Jul 18 2015

Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.

Ford Australia pulls the ol' talking car prank

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

Siri from Apple has proven that being able to talk to your technology doesn't always work perfectly. But what if it could eventually go far enough to give a personality to inanimate objects like our cars? Ford took just this path to comedic effect by playing a prank on many unsuspecting Australians, in a new commercial for its EcoSport compact crossover.
The Aussies seem very nonchalant about having a random parked car talk to them, and they seem surprisingly game when it asks them to get in, call a celebrity and tell a joke. (We're guessing there are some hilarious outtakes, too.) Scroll down to watch some folks from Down Under have a conversation with Ford's CUV.
