Ive had it about 4 years,Ive put alot of money into the car. I will start with the history of the car it was a (dealer special order car).It is a ford factory original sunroof car which makes it rare what makes it even more rare I found is the car was ordered in early 1985 with a full roller carburated 4 barrel TRW motor with 9.5 to 1 compression right from the factory.This means that the motor came with TRW pistons,rods,and crankshaft right from ford with roller lifters&roller camshaft&roller rocker arms right from ford as well.The car came with(NO power windows or power locks also NO air conditioning and when you order a factory original sunroof car ford strengths and reinforces the frame at the factory making it stronger than a standard mustang frame.Im informed by ford that this car is a special order only car that no dealer would ever stock this car on his lot it is a special customer ordered car in the ford dealers opinion this individual ordered this car for racing applications from the factory.I recieved my information from ford dealers and 2 performance ford engine specialists on the car.I will now tell you the upgrades I have done to the car.starting with the under carriage.
I have put new front struts&new rear shocks&new rear axle dampners on the car.I have also installed adjustable spring blocks on the front&rear springs as well.
The exhaust is starting at the engine hooker jet hot coated 3/4 length headers going into 21/2 inch pipe to dynomax turbotube mufflers with 21/2 inch tailpipes with extra 36 inch long polished stainless steel tips and tailpipes are custom to accomadate 11 inch tires with no problem.

The car has a new flywheel &clutch&pressure plate&throwoutbearing assemblies
The shifter is new with hurst shifter lever&handle with ford linkage
Now for the engine I was never going to rebuild the engine but I found a deal on a blower/supercharger I just could not pass up
Engine is stock it has just been honed and still has 9.5 to 1 comperession the original trw pistons&rods were checked and reconditioned & rings were replaced & crankshaft was replaced with hardned crankshaft for supercharged engine along with the bearings&rings all replaced to accomadate supercharged engine.Engine has been completly balanced&blueprinted. Engine also has Comp Cams roller camshaft and roller lifters with ford motorsport 1.72 roller rocker arm assemblies with quiet pete jackson gear drive to eliminate the timing chain that way the timing can never skip or jump during high RPMS engine has new water pump and chrome metal radiator hoses and new ford distributor with ford motorsport ignition wires&wire holders and Accel ignition high intestity coil. The BLOWER/SUPERCHARGER is a B&M FORCED INDUCTION SERIES blower that has been rebuilt&tested by GARY DYER of DYERS BLOWERS personally. At this time the blower is set up at 5.5 pounds of boost but can go as hi as 12 pounds of boost by just changing pulleys.Now for the information about the heads when the motor was blueprinted we designed it with edelbrock,comp cams,and dyers blowers having multiple 3 way calls with all of them they advised us to use a certain edelbrock rpm cylinder head which I have the part number for to use with this camshaft &engine design and I do have the cam card as well.Unforunatly for me at the time I have another car which is a pro street cuda that had a major failure at the track.I decided to put the matching comp cams valve springs on the stock heads&port the heads myself to save money so at the time I could fix my other car. The car really needs those heads because the heads arent flowing right so when the car is cold it runs rough when it warms it gets better spoke to edelbrock they informed that those stock heads wont work they are junk they wont flow enough and the valves are just plain to small and spoke to comp cams as well they said the same thing defintely valves are to small to make your engine design work great with your cam and valve train set up the car must have the edelbrock rpm heads they said plain and simple.So basically you should get the edelbrock rpm heads&according to edelbrock&comp cams&dyers blowers the engine design with these heads should be at 590 horsepower with complete comfortably&everday driveability if you want and that is what I wanted a good reliable street car.
Now for the outside body it is compltely rust free & the under carriage is mint the car has nicely tinted rear windows&side windows passenger door lock assembly was damaged upon theft attempt but door and all mechanisms work just fine paint is ok just faded and fin on rear of car needs paint has 1971 style fiberglass twin scoop hood I do have original hood goes with car
interior is nice no rips in seat good condition dash has no cracks dash is nice and when I bought the car the owner gave me a ford motor sports dash in the box which I installed right away with 140mph speedo in it
radio is a sony removable face head unit with cd player&aux hook ups& 4 additional 6x9 speakers installed in addition to all speakers in stock positions all speakers replaced with all sony speakers
what I wanted here was a fast car to drive everyday&if I wanted to have fun on the street or track I could at any given time and most importantly make it everyday dependable
if you have any questions feel free to call me my name is Tim and my cell phone is 1-630-973-3141 if I dont answer right away I check my message frequently I will call you back asap. thank again for looking and good luck

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year
Mon, Nov 9 2015With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

The article appears in the December/January issue, on newsstands November 17, and on RoadandTrack.com. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.
2015 Ford S-Max adds all-wheel drive, adaptive steering
Fri, 03 Oct 2014The Blue Oval's 'One Ford' mantra has seen rapid commonization of the automaker's products across markets, but North America still has to look from afar at most of the company's Max-branded people movers, including this new S-Max. That's a bit of a shame - we like the space efficiency and above-average driving dynamics of the C-Max models we do get, but seeing this updated seven-seat small minivan makes us want the One Ford initiative to extend even further.
The new model's changes include an updated powertrain range including a 1.5-liter EcoBoost four with 158 horsepower, and a larger, 237-horsepower, 2.0-liter model, along with a pair of revised lower-emissions 2.0-liter diesels. The big news, however, is the advent of available all-wheel drive, something that hasn't been offered since the S-Max first went on sale back in 2006.
On the technology front, the S-Max is the first European model to receive Ford Adaptive Steering, a variable-ratio technology we recently sampled in a prototype Fusion that is expected to go into production on the next-generation Edge. The S-Max also receives a new aluminum-intensive integral link rear suspension, packaged to continue to fit up to 32 different seating combinations. Safety equipment is always a prime concern in kinschleppers like the S-Max, and to that end, this new model receives pre-collision assist technology and LED headlamps.
2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal
Fri, 22 Mar 2013True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?
