For sale is a 1969 Mustang Mach 1.  I have owned for 20 years.  It has all the original panels and had a complete rotisserie restoration about 8 years ago. This car originally came from Georgia in the mid 80's so had very little rust which has all been professionally repaired. This is an original very rare 1969 Champane Gold Mach 1 with a 351 Windsor and a manual transmission. Over $19,000 was spent on parts which I have receipts for. All wearable parts were replaced.  After it was completed it won several first place awards at local shows.  The body had about 75,000 miles on it before it was restored. The odometer was set back to zero when everything was rebuilt. It has about 6,000 miles on it since it was completely rebuilt. 

I am the owner of a Mustang restoration business and this is my personal car.  Our website is "Mustangcraftsmen.com".  There are more pictures of the car on that site.  I am also a mechanical engineer and a Master Certified Ford Service Manager. This car was restored as a driver and the chassis is painted with POR 15 which is not concourse correct but provides a durable coating for a driven car and seals out rust.  All internal seams have been rustproofed.  The engine is original and numbers matching. The original manual transmission has been replaced with a Tremec T5 5-speed. The 5 speed conversion and hydraulic clutch cost over $5,000.00. There are some minor modifications to make the car easier to drive and improve power which can be removed if desired. I have been a judge for several Mustang shows and have noticed a lot of '69 Mustang's for sale are not detailed correctly, however this one is.

The following is a list of pertinent information.

Body- All original panels, media blasted and repainted in it's original Champagne Gold in base with clear coat, rotisserie nut and bolt restoration, front spoiler, rear wing, rear window louvers, LED sequential tail lights, Magnum 500 wheels..

Engine - Original 351 W bored .030 over, larger valves, hand ported heads, comp cams extreme energy cam (gives increased power but retains a smooth idle), Pertronix ignitor, Edelbrock 600 CFM carburetor with electic choke, Edelbrok aluminum intake manifold, short Headman headers, Dynomax mufflers and a larger radiator designed for an AC car (avoids overheating).

Transmission - Tremec T5 5-speed, Hurst shift handle, Centerforce clutch and hydraulic clutch mechanism.

Rear Axle - Original 9 inch rebuilt with Ford traction loc, 3.25:1 ratio.

Suspension - All new with grease fittings, larger front sway bar, rear sway bar added and KYB gas shocks.

Interior - All vinyl and carpeting replaced, new chrome plating of plastic on dash and clock bezel (cost $500), modern CD player and stereo (can be replaced with original radio if desired), tachometer on column, and bolt in door glass.

I restored this car to be a reliable driver and it has been driven enough to get all the problems resolved. I have taken it on several 300 mile trips.  This is a 9 out of 10 car.  This was restored to be enjoyed and used as a driver and not a concours show car.  There are minor imperfections in the paint and it shows the use of being driven on summer weekends for the past several years. It could be brought to concours level but would require more detailing.  I rebuilt this to drive and not have to be trailered everywere.  This is a reliable classic Mustang that turns heads but does not require constant repairs like many other classic cars.  When it is stored for the winter it starts right up every spring and is ready to go.  The 5 speed transmission is a joy to drive, the 351 is much faster than stock, and the exhaust has a deep tone without being too loud. 

If you would like any more information please email me at beardpa@aol.com or call Paul at 989-860-3948. I also have a car trailer and would consider delivering the car a reasonable distance for an additional fee.

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.

Watch this Ford F-150 SVT Raptor fly like an eagle [UPDATE]

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is a very capable truck right out of the box, but "capable" has never translated into "invincible." Just ask the owner of the machine in this video. In it, the driver gets frisky with an aggressive jump with plenty of speed on his hands. The result is enough air to make Vaughn Gittin Jr. blush. As always, it's not the launch that's painful, but the re-entry. Gravity eventually asserts its dominance over the $43,630 pickup in a big way, and when it comes crashing down, it does so with a vengeance.
The impact was hard enough to set off both the alarm and multiple airbags inside the cabin. It's unclear if anyone was injured in the stunt, but we certainly wouldn't be surprised to hear that was the case. You can check out the stunt in the video below, and remember, when in doubt, back out of the throttle. Be warned, there may be some explicit/NSFW language in the clip.
UPDATE: Second video added with an even better look at the jump added below.

Saab-powered Ford is the most unlikely drift car we've seen

Tue, Jan 19 2016

Yes, you read that headline correctly. It's supposed to be a Saab-powered Ford, and not the other way around (although we fully support the notion of a Sonnet with a Flathead V8). Apparently, some lunatic in the UK took an ass-less 1953 Ford Anglia, paired it with a turbocharged Saab engine, and tuned the entire thing to go drifting. We like it. Called Urchfab, it's the subject of Carfection's (the blokes formerly known as XCar) latest video. Aside from looking like an extra from the British version of Mad Max, it has a problem with grip, in that there's just too much of it. This car is a fabber's dream, as we get to see its unnamed owner fashion new bits and bobs for the suspension before having an unfortunate encounter with a wall at Castle Combe. You can check out the full video up at the top of the page for a closer look at this monstrous Anglia. Related Video:
