Here for your consideration is a 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra coupe. I have just had the 4cam 4.6 engine completely rebuilt at a cost of $4000.00 dollars. I bought this car with a rod knocking. Upon teardown it was discovered that number 4 and 8 rods had spun the bearings in the rods themselves. The rods in these engines cannot be resized, so I replaced both with new Ford rods. The block was then bored 0.020" with torque plates (which Ford did not do originally) and new 0.020" pistons installed. The cranked had to be turned 0.010" on both the rods and mains. The entire rotating assembly was rebalanced at that point. ARP studs were used in the block instead of the inferior factory bolts. ARP rod bolts were installed instead of the torque/yield bolts that were original. The cams were absolutely flawless, so I reused them. New chain tensioners were installed and a complete valve job done on the heads. I installed a new dual friction clutch when the engine was reinstalled. The car has been driven 400 miles so far since the rebuild. It runs and drives as new, nice tight suspension, ice cold A/C, everything works except the odometer. I checked the bottom side and everything is correct, so it must be in the head unit. Speedo works fine. This car is all stock, no mods at all, even original exhaust. This car has always been in North Carolina so there is no corrosion issues. The leather on the steering wheel is showing some wear and the bolster on the drivers seat needs to be recovered, as seen in the pictures. No cracks on the dash or door panels. This car should give thousands of trouble free miles with the work that has just been done. While preparing the car to return to the road, all the brakes have been gone through. This Cobra has never been hit and I believe it is wearing it's original black paint. It also has the Mach 460 sound system with AM/FM, CD, Cassette. If you are looking for a factory high performance Mustang that has not been "flogged" yet, then this is your car. If you drive it, you will love it. Car is sold as is. You are welcome any time during the auction to personally inspect and drive the car. Buyer is responsible for transporting the car to it's new home. I need payment within 2 weeks of auction's end.

Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron
Thu, Feb 23 2017Top Gear is returning on March 5, and after a lackluster first series with the new hosts, the new group seems determined not to hit a sophomore slump. Chris Evans is gone, and the latest teaser trailer shows the new trio of Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid strapped into some pretty fantastic cars, including the Bugatti Chiron and the Ford GT. All of the typical Top Gear segments appear to be present, though the quick cuts don't give us many details. The trailer shows a copious amount of powerslides from an assortment of cars, and even Chris Harris racing around Daytona. Aside from the Bugatti and Ford, cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo are all present. Co-hosts Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz don't appear at all, so it seems their roles may be downplayed to focus on three guys, as was the case pre-reboot. We have some hope for this re-relaunched show and will be keeping an eye out for more details in the lead-up to the series premiere.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
Ford is recalling more Takata airbag-equipped Ford and Lincoln models
Thu, Mar 2 2017The Basics: Takata, the beleaguered airbag supplier at the root of the largest recall in automotive history, has informed Ford of a problem with the airbags in just over 30,000 Ford and Lincoln models. The problem is not related to the non-desiccated ammonium nitrate airbag inflators that plague the other airbags ( including many Fords), meaning there isn't a risk of shrapnel flying out from the units in this particular recall. The Problem: In the event of an accident, the front airbags may only partially inflate, and the airbag may become detached from the module because of misaligned parts. The problem affects 2016 and 2017 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX models built at the Oakville Assembly Plant. The issue also affects 2017 Lincoln Continentals that were built at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Injuries/Deaths: In a release, Ford stated that it is not aware of any accidents, injuries, or deaths related to the airbag issue. The Fix: Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag module at no cost. If You Own One: Sit tight and wait for Ford to notify owners. When that happens, take your car to the dealer for a replacement. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
