1985 Mustang Gt, 5.0 Ho Convertible on 2040-cars
San Antonio, Texas, United States
This is my restored 1985 Mustang GT, 5.0 H.O. Convertible. For those of you out there looking to buy this car wholesale, you just as well stop reading right now. I'm not selling to give it away. I'm selling to make money off of my hard work and investment.I do not have to sell this car,so don't look here for a bargain. With that said, for those of you wanting a nice car, I purchased this car off an Ebay auction and have went through the entire car and invested over $10,000 and many hours along the way. I don't have to sell the car for anyone looking for a bargain.The engine and transmission were professionally overhauled locally.The original CFI set up was converted to an Edelbrock intake with a 600 cfm Edelbrock Carburetor. All new. This is a numbers matching engine and transmission. I have replaced the top with a glass rear window. Factory fog lights w/covers. It has a new tinted winshield. The struts and shocks on all four corners are all new as well as the front disc brake pads and rotors and the rear wheel drum brakes and new drums & all attaching springs, etc. The exhaust is new with headers and dual Flow Masters. There is no catalytic converters on this car. Not required at this age. The interior has the original seats which are white and are in very good condition. The dash hull was replaced as well as the console. The speedometer was changed over to a 140 mph replacement. The dash pad is also new along with the carpet. All new rubber moldings.everywhere. The stereo is a Pioneer single CD system with new speakers front & rear. The tires are new and are BF Goodrich with the correct size. The A/C works great! It has all new hoses and cores and is still operating with R12 and is cold. Everything works...even the windshield washer. There is no cruise control.....sorry. I did replace the steering wheel with one I thought looked better. I will add some more photos including the interior soon.The car handles like it did back in the 80's. It's not a cushy ride........It's a firm ride that connects you to the road. It does make "convertible" noises. It's not a quiet car. I am selling this car because I do not really drive it enough and it needs to be driven. It has only a 1,000 miles on the re-build. There are a few minor things that need to be done that will not cost any money but just a little time. The windows need some tweeking in the adjustment area. They go up and down fine, but I think they could do better. The motors are not new, but do have new cams. All of the adjustment is easy to access. The car needs to be driven to round out the tires. They do have a flat spots from sitting for periods of time. Just to let you know, I start and drive this car weekly if not several times a week. I just never drove it for any long distances. It always had fresh gas and never sat long enough for the battery to go down. It's a great car and would make anyone a great car to enjoy. The paint was done a couple of years ago and is very good job but not the greatest. The car was originally white. I chose the current color because I thought with the white top, it looked more impressive. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I have all of the receipts of all the work that has been done and all the parts that have been purchased. I also have a lot ofor extra parts, Ford shop manuals, and skematic plans that will go with the car. Remember, this is a classic and it's not perfect, but it will still get plenty of looks and runs great. Good luck and I hope it finds a new home. Thank you for looking, and by the way, the car is also for sale locally and I may the end the auction early if necessary. Car is sold as is. No warranty. If any requested work is to be done prior to turning over vehicle to new owner, such work with any costs, would be agreed upon by both parties.

Toyota, Ford not interested in FCA merger
Mon, Jun 15 2015Sergio Marchionne will preach the benefits of mergers to anyone who'll listen, but his calls for industry consolidation may be falling on deaf ears. At least, that is, the ears of those who the Fiat Chrysler chief would most like to bend. Not only is General Motors uninterested, but according to The Detroit News, neither are Toyota or Ford. "It's something we would not be interested in," said Toyota's North American chief Jim Lentz, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Toyota Technical Center. "At 10 million (vehicles) we have enough scale right now to do what we need to do. There really would be no advantage for us." Toyota isn't the only one unenthused by the prospect of merging with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The Detroit News also reports that Ford, though it may yet to have been approached by Marchionne, wouldn't be interested either. "We're not a suitor for FCA," said Ford CFO Bob Shanks. "We don't see that type of opportunity as one that applies to us." With GM, Toyota, and Ford expressing disinterest in Marchionne's merger idea, the FCA chief will likely start looking elsewhere – or look for other ways to compel his primary candidate to reconsider. He may eventually find a partner – more likely in the Far East or within Europe – but it may not take the form of the major player Sergio has hoped for.

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
Autoblog editors choose their favorite racecars of all time
Thu, Feb 26 2015If you like cars, there is a good chance that you like racecars. There's something about the science and the art of going faster, of competition, of achievement, that accelerates the hearts of enthusiasts. It doesn't matter the series, the team or the manufacturer – there's something about racing that stirs emotions and lifts spirits. It's that way with many of you, and it's that way with our editors. With that in mind, we offer a list of our favorite racecars of all time. Of course, we'd like to hear some of yours in the comment section below. 1970 Porsche 917 Compared to some of the obscure choices by my colleagues, I feel like the Porsche 917 is almost so obvious a pick as to not be worth mentioning. Still, when coming up with my answer, my mind invariably went back to this classic racer – specifically in its blue-and-orange Gulf livery – while watching Le Mans on DVD and later Blu Ray with my dad. Long, low and curvaceous, few vehicles have ever looked sexier lapping a track than the 917. More than just a pretty face, this beauty had speed, too, thanks to several tunes of flat-12 engines over the course of its racing life. In the early '70s, Porsche was a dominant force throughout sports-car competition, and the 917 (shown above at the 1970 24 Hours of Daytona) was the tip of that spear, including back-to-back victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Largely without dialogue or really much of a traditional plot, Le Mans is like a tone poem of racing goodness. While the 917's importance to motorsports history is undoubtedly fascinating, it's still this cinematic depiction of the Porsche racer that draws me in most, especially with the volume cranked. – Chris Bruce Associate Editor 1964 Mini Cooper S How could everyone not be selecting the 1964 Mini Cooper S piloted by Paddy Hopkirk and Henry Liddon? That car, 33 EJB, took the first of British Motor Corporation's four Monte Carlo Rally wins (it should have been five, but French judges got the British Minis [and Fords] disqualified on a technicality regarding headlights... which its own car, the winning DS, was also in violation of). The tiny red car and its white roof beat out Ford Falcons, Mercedes-Benz 300SEs and scores of Volvos, Volkswagens and Saabs. This, along with the several years of dominance that followed, cemented the idea that not only could the tiny, two-tone Mini be a real performance vehicle, but that family-friendly city cars in general could be fun.
