Up for sale is my extremely rare 1986 Saleen Mustang.  There were only 334 "Four Eyed" First Generation Saleens were produced from 1984-1986.  There were only 201 Saleens built in the the last year (1986) of this body style.  This particular car, 1986 #25, was a very rare combination of an early Saleen body kit with the upgraded 1986 Fuel-Injection.  Less than 40 Saleens were produced with this combination. Instead of a full rear-valance, this Saleen was one of the last 4 cars made with the rare rear "spats".  Only 9 Saleens were produced with the exact options this car, 1986#25 has.  In the last year This Saleen has been treated to a full cosmetic restoration, including New Base/Clear Jalapeno red paint, new NOS Dashpad, new Momo steering wheel, new carpet, new weatherstripping, and newly professionally restored 16" mesh wheels.  This car has spent 26 of its 27 years in inland California, and has never had any rust, nor has it ever had any accident damage or any of its original body panels replaced.  Pics available during restoration that show all the original paint/panels prior to new Base/Clear being applied.  Mechanically the car has original 5.0 V8 that runs very strong, unlike many Saleens this engine has never been modiifed from stock, and has proven to be very reliable.  A new clutch, radiator, and motor mounts have been recently serviced.  The only upgrade from stock 1986 Saleen are 1987-1993 Mustang larger 11" front brake rotors and calipers.  New springs and newer Saleen struts/shocks have also been recently added.  New Falken tires.  The car runs, drives and steers beautifully, like this Saleen did when it was new.  Clear California title.  I have over $12,500 invested in this Saleen and I simply am out of room.  This saleen will certainly climb in value, there are no rarer, more well documented cars from the 80's than the Saleen Mustang.

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?

Mon, Feb 27 2017

We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
