1986 MUSTANG GT CONVERTIBLE 5.0 RED CLEAN INSIDE & OUT NEW TOP/PAINT/CLUTCH ETC.

My father purchased it from a family friend, he has had this car since 1990, it has hardly been driven since then. He moved to FL with Mom and they left the car here, so I started fixing it up over the years, and now I am newly married. . .And I have different new projects evolving with her. So the car has to go. :(

Exterior: No Body Damage, no rust, New Orig.Factory Jalpeno Red Paint (Before the car was painted there was only surfaced rust on the doors that was repaired professionally(Have pics before it was painted if your interested.) The rest of the body was solid, The Door jams, Rockers, inside the hood are all still orginal paint. The Paint looks great has a very nice clear coat! The White power Top is Brand New and works great! Eagle Alloy 16 inch wheels are in great shape, The tires are like new 225 50 R16, General's top of the line tires $500.00 brand new. Brakes are good. Headlights work, brake lights, and turning singals all work. The fog light bulbs need to be replaced. The fog lights themselves work. One crack on the windshield, it might be able to fixed, see pic for details. And the driver side door only locks from inside.

Interior: The interior is clean minor wear from over the years, Dash, door panels, visors, trim, console looks great, The Seats are in very good shape, there is some wear from the sun on the edges of the seats(Not bad at all) And in the back seat I saw one very small minor burn hole. The fuel pump is manually controlled by a toggle switch(Gives security) New Cd player with $150.00 Pioneer Speakers in the back. The fronts I could not wire in, because they were stock, need to get new ones for the front. I will also include original speakers with Original Radio. Power windows work great and are very clean.

Engine/Trans: 5.0 Engine ALL Original, runs strong, Sythetic oil change, Brand New Ram Clutch($530.00), New Fuel Pump, New Fuels Injectors(Cost $1500.00). Just changed both Valve cover gaskets. Everything is Stock and Original, My Dad said the A/C used to work, just needs to be charged. Little tiny oil leak from oil pan gasket, did not get a chance to replace.

Under carriage: Some minor surface rust, not a big deal from over the years. FYI: I also have some spare parts that come with the car, the old luggage rack, light bulbs, the door panel pockets.

Over all the car is very good shape, It is a head turner. I like to be very honest in my listing, that way you know exactly what your buying. If you have any questions feel free to call 630-550-9858. Items are Sold as Described and as is. Please make all inquires before Bidding. -Thanks

Jay Leno is far beyond driven in his 1971 Pantera

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Perhaps it's fitting that the band Pantera is known for its heavy metal music, because the DeTomaso Pantera is the automotive equivalent of a metal album. It's short, aggressive and makes a mean sound. It doesn't mess around either, with a Ford 351-cubic-inch (5.75-liter) V8 sending mountains of torque to the rear wheels. This week, Jay Leno takes us on a detailed tour of his '71 to show why it rocks.
There's a regular format to Jay Leno's Garage. It starts with Jay and maybe a guest taking a look at the car and talking about its history, and then they take it out on the open road. However, this video is practically a Pantera buyer's guide. Jay is adamant from the start that the last thing anyone should own is a stock example. To remedy this, he and his guest, the editor of the Pantera Club magazine, take viewers to school about some of the ways to turn them into even better performance machines.
No matter what you do to it, though, the Pantera requires that the driver adapt to it, not the other way around. For example, Jay isn't a big guy by most standards, but he has to cram himself into the cockpit with his shoes off and shirt partially unbuttoned just to go for a drive. Still, once out on the road, it all makes sense with that rumbling V8 and those Italian supercar looks. Scroll down to watch and learn a lot more about this uncompromising '70s performance car.

Transit Courier completes Ford's new commercial van line, will we get it?

Sat, 13 Apr 2013

This week Ford rolled out the 2014 Transit Courier, the fourth addition to its Transit range. Ford says its the first time for the nameplate in the compact van segment.
"Ford has now completely transformed its commercial vehicle line-up, with four all-new, class-leading Transits for European customers," said Barb Samardzich, vice president of product development for Ford Europe. "With the all-new Transit range, we expect sales to grow to 400,000 units per year by 2016, well over 50 percent more than we sell today."
When the Courier goes on sale in the Spring of 2014, it will offer more than 1,400 pounds of payload capacity, multiple mounting points for racks or other framework and a rear cargo area that can carry items 5.3 feet-long. An optional folding passenger seat boosts the cargo length to 8.5 feet.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.
