Please read the entire description if you are considering bidding on this car. I am listing this car for a friend. It has been owned by him or one of his family members for over thirty years. In the mid 1980's it was his daily driver. During that time a low mileage 1985 or 86 Mustang GT engine was installed along with a C4 automatic transmission. In the late 80's early 90's the car came off the road and went to another family member as a father son project. A Ford eight inch five lug rear and five lug front spindles donated from a 70's Maverick or Granada were installed. Eventually it was returned to the current and former owner who I am listing it for. It has been registered in New York in his name the whole time. It comes with a clear transferable N.Y. registration. Cars this old are not titled in New York. It is a nice body style with the hardtop no post roof. It would make a good father son project. It would not take much to get it on the road and use it while you work on it. Most of what it needs is labor. Also if you keep it in this condition or improve it I think it will continue to hold it's value as they are getting harder to find. Although it needs some work it is solid where it needs to be solid. The torque boxes, rocker panels, radiator support, battery box area, rear rails and trunk floor all look good. The dash is original and has not been cut for a aftermarket stereo. The body looks solid around the front and rear windows. I tried to add as many pictures of these areas as I could. It is solid along the drip rails but I did find two small spots where the paint had chipped off and the body rusted. I will get a better picture of that and add it during the auction. I have plenty of pictures and can take more if needed for specific areas or questions. The engine fires up and sounds very good on a separate gas container. The gas tank needs to be flushed or replaced. I think the tank is the same as early Mustang but am not 100 percent sure. The brakes are not working the pedal goes to the floor. It has had some previous work floors. The worst part of the car is the area under the rear seat where some patch work is needed. The car is structurally sound and could be driven as is once the mechanical issues are resolved. Some time spent with some sheet metal and a MIG machine would make a huge improvement in this car and it's value. It has bucket seats from another car that are in fair but very usable condition. The back seat is not currently in the pictures but it is there in good condition along with front kick panels and door sill plates. The steel channel on the front was bolted to the bumper bracket holes to move the car around without damaging it. I make every effort to describe and picture my items accurately, if you have questions please ask. The car is for sale locally in eastern Long Island N.Y. and the auction may end at any time. The car can be viewed by appointment. The car must be paid for in full and picked up no later than end of day Sunday July 7th unless other arrangements are mutually agreed to prior to auction ending.

Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown
Fri, 10 Jan 2014You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."
Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
