Up for auction is an 1988 GT convertible project car that I did not finish. This car was a parts donor for a kit car. I bought the body because my 89 Mustang had substantial rust. This is an excellent RUNNING project with a nearly new mechanical drivetrain. I have a lot of money wrapped up in parts and work. I have too many projects and this one was selected to go. The car is a clean rust free Texas car with a clean title. The previous owner painted it a horrible red with sprinkled on metal flake. The paint needs to be redone. The body is good with a minor damage to the bottom of the passenger door (see pictures) and the inner fender well was previously damage (see pictures). Other than those areas the body is clean. The frame to the top and hydraulics are all there. I do not know if the hydraulics work. The luggage rack on the trunk is missing. The windshield needs replaced. Most of the emissions is removed, however, the car is 25 years old this year. Now lets get to the good things about this car:
The engine has about 25,000 on major rebuild, World Products Windsor JR heads, Harland Sharp full roller rockers, Ford Motorsport "E" cam, Speed Pro .30 over pistons, 1.5/8 mandrel shorty headers, Melling oil pump and Ford Motorsport street/strip clutch and pressure plate. Engine has stock intake and injectors. Mass air computer and harness came from '89 GT.
The T-5 transmission was rebuilt with new seals, bearings, syncros, 1-2 slider gear, and steel bearing retainer. About 20,000 miles. Rebuilt after engine rebuild.
Traction lock rear diff with 3.55 gears.
All four rear control arms are enclosed/boxed with new rubber bushings. Also, the mounting points on the car are wire welded for strength.
The front control arms have new Energy Suspension urethane bushings and new ball joints. New Energy Suspension urethane bushings in rack and pinion.
The factory convertible bracing/stiffening brackets were riveted and loose. They are now wire welded in place and rigid.
Steeda subframe connectors were also added and welded in place.
Eibach Pro Kit 3510.140 variable rate springs at all four corners.
Walbro 255 lph fuel pump, new, less than 10 miles.
Oversized aluminum Griffin radiator
new fuel sending unit
Hooker Aerochamber mufflers and exhaust. 2.5 inch from headers to back bumper. no cats.
This car runs and drives as is but is NOT street ready. The dash, interior, and wire harness needs finished. I have many extra parts, too many to list. Interior, body skirts, glass, dash etc. Everything I have goes with the car. The car originally had a red interior. I started installing the gray interior out of my old '89. I do not have the original red seats. The engine and transmission have 20,000 to 25,000 miles. The suspension bushings, fuel pump, and sending unit are brand new when I put the car together. This car will make a great car for someone to finish. Big things the car needs; windshield, fabric top, paint, carpet and luggage rack for trunk. The engine runs strong, no noise or smoke. It puts out 55-60 lbs of oil pressure on mechanical gauge. I will test the compression and post the results soon. Please contact me with any question. My reserve is well below the value in parts alone. I can deliver up to 300 miles from my location at a rate of $1.25 per mile (calculated one-way).
On May-24-13 at 14:04:28 PDT, seller added the following information:
As you can see, much of what is left of the fabric top was cut away by the previous owner. The frame is there as well as the hydraulics which I have not wire up and tried. The top lift easily and freely. The pump and cylinders are in place but disconnected. The compression test is #6 cylinder 135 psi, all others 150-152 psi.

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP
Thu, Aug 6 2015Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.

Autoblog Minute: Trump blasts Ford in visit to Michigan
Thu, Aug 13 2015Donald Trump takes a shot at Ford's outsourcing practices in his most recent visit to Michigan. Autoblog's Mylencia Gillenwaters reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Donald Trump takes a shot at Ford's outsourcing practices in his most recent visit to Michigan. I'm Mylencia Gillenwaters and this is your Autoblog Minute. Presidential hopeful Donald Trump visited Birch Run, Michigan for a rally, and amidst talk of immigration and international trade, the GOP front runner discussed Ford's plan to build a manufacturing plant in Mexico: [00:00:30] [WXYZ NEWS CLIP] Autoblog reached out to Ford for comment. The Dearborn-based automaker offered this statement in response: "We are committed to leveraging our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to invest where it makes the best sense for our business. We are proud that we have invested $6.2 billion in our U.S. plants since 2011 and hired nearly 25,000 U.S. employees. [00:01:00] Overall, 80 percent of our North American investment annually is in the U.S., and 97 percent of our North American engineering is conducted in the U.S." As automakers compete in an increasingly global marketplace, debate around outsourcing is sure to remain a hot political topic.

Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.
