HI,Up for sale is my 1985 Mustang GT I am selling the car for unfotunate reasons my fiance has had multiple brain anurisms&a stroke so I need money&cant enjoy the car.Let me tell you a bit about the car.The car only has 57771 miles on it.First I will start when I got the car it had only 40,000 miles on it. 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 rear axle&differential is 8.8 rear differential with 3:23 gears and ford factory traction bars and pinion snubber.

The wheels are american racing outlaw wheels all the way around

The rear tires are BFG G-FORCE drag radial T/A size 275/50/15 tires

The front tires are GOODYEAR invader GT size 215/60/15 tires

Have matching BFG G-FORCE size 235/60/15 tires for front but can use on rear if you want these if you want for (additional cost)

Have a complete set another addition set of radial street driving tires if you want for (additional cost)

all six extra tires can be bought for $300 additional dollars with car

The transmission is a ford manual with all new gears&sychros

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

The 11 best scenes from the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed

Tue, Jun 30 2015

Over the last three days, the Goodwood Estate has played home to the eponymous Festival of Speed. Thrown by the biggest gearhead in the British aristocracy – Charles Gordon-Lennox, the Earl of March and Kinrara – the Festival of Speed is essentially a tremendous, gasoline-fuelled party, complete with a very large lawn sculpture, that features the world's hottest, weirdest, fastest, and loudest race, production, and historic models. While there are quite literally dozens and dozens of videos from the event – not to mention the full-day replays (of which only day one is available, at present) – we've sifted through them to pluck away the very best. There's stuff from the official Goodwood YouTube channel, as well as several videos from automakers and other third-party channels, and it's all available below. 2015 Ford Mustang GT350R Looks Barely Controllable If you thought the highest-performance Ford Mustang would somehow get more tractable or civilized once it moved to an independent rear suspension, this video shows you have nothing to worry about. Watch as an unnamed driver wrestles the new Shelby GT350R and its flat-plane, 5.2-liter V8 up the hillclimb circuit. Even with the new suspension and sticky tires, this Mustang wants to go any direction but straight, especially following its launch. 2016 Ford Focus RS, Is Very Loud, Blue Ken Block makes his first appearance on our list. Before he steps into his Hoonicorn Mustang, though, the Gymkhana expert tackled the hill in the all-new Focus RS. The vicious bellow of the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is the star of this commentary-free video, although the gorgeous Nitrous Blue paint job is a nice accompaniment, as well. 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn Runs Hill, Nearly Kills Lord March Mr. Block's two runs behind the wheel of the Hoonicorn were, unsurprisingly, very eventful. While one attempt goes off without a hitch, seeing the American rally driver slip and slide his way to the top of the hill while taking a short break for a donut, the other is slightly more dramatic. Block, along with Lord March in the passenger seat, carries a bit too aggressive an angle into a turn and nearly puts the NASCAR-powered Mustang into the hay bales. Check out the first video above, and the second one below. Kimi Raikkonen Makes Us Miss F1's V8 Era The latest Formula One cars have been maligned for the lackluster noise produced by the new 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6.

Ford celebrating 80 years of Aussie utes as it prepares to shutter Oz manufacturing

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Ford is ending Australian production after 90 years in 2016, and with it may go perhaps the most iconic vehicles in its auto market - the ute. Car-based pickup trucks like the Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet El Camino were always more of a curiosity than a true market force here, but in Australia, they have long proven hugely popular.
As the legend goes, Ford invented the niche after a farmer's wife had asked Ford Australia's managing director for a more utilitarian car. Her request was simple: "My husband and I can't afford a car and a truck but we need a car to go to church on Sunday and a truck to take the pigs to market on Monday. Can you help?"
Ford's design team came up with a two-passenger, enclosed, steel coupe body with glass windows and a steel-paneled, wooden-frame load area in the rear. The sides of the bed were blended into the body to make it look more unified, and to keep costs down, the front end and interior were based on the Ford Model 40 five-window coupe. Power came from a V8 with shifting chores handled by a three-speed manual. Within a year, the new vehicle was ready, and production began in 1934. Lead designer Lewis Bandt christened it the coupe-utility.

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
