This started life as a 1995 Ford Taurus sedan that has had severe modifications to be the state it's in currently. This has been a fun project to work on however since losing my shop space I no longer have time or space to complete.

The body has a completely custom one-off fiberglass kit applied to it that is 90% or so complete. Everything is completely molded into the car with the exception of the driver side skirt which does come with the vehicle. The headlights are driving lights wired to work as head lights. The taillights are LED's behind the fiberglass which show up through the glass when lit. The underbody of the car is reinforced with 2" x 2" box steel and the roof has been cut along with the window frames on the doors. The guts of the doors have been removed however the inside door handles are in tact and function as the outside handles have been shaved. There is a 2000 Mustang Convertible dashboard installed in the car and an instrument cluster from a 94-95 mustang installed and functional. There is also an LCD monitor installed in the steering wheel that does function when the wheel turns. Also included with the car is the interior components that I have for it. As you can see the door panels were previously wrapped in crushed velvet by the previous owner along with part of the seats and panels. I also have other parts included with the car including the Taurus instrument cluster showing the car has 65k miles (The mustang cluster installed currently has just under 100k on it) on the body/drive train before it underwent surgery.

This car DOES run and drive however I would not drive it far since its essentially had zero miles on it for several years. I do however start the car from time to time and move it in and out of the garage as I work on other projects it will will need a trailer to get it home. This is a project and WILL need some work before it can be driven. The title is clean and clear and in my hand. Car is sold as/is with no warranty implied. Pickup within 7 days unless other terms are worked out with seller.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.
