Great cruiser! This car was retro-modded in 1998 by Andrew Keegan, the actor, who was then dating and later engaged to Leann Rimes, the country music star, who has ridden in the car. I bought the car in 2009 from Mr. Keegan. The paint is pearlescent with 20 pounds of crushed pearls in the paint. The dove grey interior matches the dove grey soft top (only the soft top, not shown). The dash, seat piping and door trim is purple. There are purple accents under the hood. There are imperfections on chrome headlight covers and three paint chips. The carpet is slightly stained. The car has been lowered 3" overall, and the rear end raised 2" for a beautiful stance. It has disk brakes on the front wheels and American Racing Mags all around. The front and the rear of the car are custom and give it a clean, sleek look. Matching fender skirts are included (not shown). The car has been converted to 12 V. The battery is in the trunk. The motor was rebuilt in 1998 when the car was modified. It has a 1957 intake manifold and carburetor for easy starts. Did I say that this is a great cruiser?

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.

Watch how a Ford Raptor rolls down the assembly line in Dearborn

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

Bloomberg TV reporter Matt Miller is the proud new owner of a pretty killer truck. How do we know? The reporter headed to Dearborn, MI to Ford's assembly plant, with a film crew in tow, to see exactly how his new F-150 SVT Raptor and its mother-loving 6.2-liter V8 engine, was screwed together.
The resulting video does an excellent job of summing up how an assemblage of parts and pieces is turned into a triple-black Raptor, thanks to the work of some 1,000 employees and about 20 hours of real time. Click through below to see how the truck is born, with a surprise cameo playing the part of delivery driver at the end.
