1986 Ford Mustang Gt Convertible 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Coarsegold, California, United States
|
The reserve is set well below what I have into the car, and is quite reasonable. Don't let it scare you off from bidding. Up for auction is my 1986 Mustang GT Convertible. This is a rust free, California car that has 146,xxx accident free miles on it. I have the clear Calif title in hand. If you are a CA buyer, please be aware that the car was last registered in 2004. If you are a buyer from anywhere but CA, this isn't a problem. If you are a CA buyer, it will have back fees due, but if you'd like, I can register it in my new home state and then sign it over with a fresh WA title. It has factory AC, automatic transmission, 5.0 liter fuel injected 302 V8 engine. This car drove and handled perfectly when parked. This car was not my daily driver and was always garaged. The AC blew cold, and the top worked as it should. All instruments, lights, horn, switches etc operated as they should. The trunk retains it's original carpet in very good condition. The trunk is completely free of rust...under the carpet, in the spare tire well, underside of the trunk lid...nothing, no rust at all in these rust prone areas. The underside of the car is also completely rust free. The original spare tire is there along with the correct original jack and lug wrench. This was always adult owned, and never raced or abused. This last year, it was moved to the side of my house and kept under a cover. The paint could use touching up as it has some paint chipping and small scratches that always seem to occur when a vehicle sits in a garage. It is now parked and covered at a relatives house (In central Calif near Yosemite) awaiting it's new home. My dream was to turn it into a Saleen clone and show car, so I parked it intending to make that happen. A lot of work was completed on it before I ran out of money, and it then sat. I was always "going to get to it someday", but I now realize that isn't going to happen. The car is complete, and the engine turns over freely. Connect the throttle position sensor and throttle cables up, toss in a battery, and it would probably start, but the gas is 10 years old and I really don't want to run that into the engine. I have put a LOT of time and money into this project. The wheels are the very hard to find, vintage ARE Saleen style basket weave wheels. There new shocks and struts at all four corners with H&R performance springs, along with urethane bushings. The front end needs to have an alignment done to it because of the new parts being installed. The brakes need to be bled since I hadn't done that yet after changing over to Russel steel braided brake lines. Under the hood I added polished aluminum underdrive pulleys (the stock originals will be included), an electric fan set up, a BBK cold air intake (the stock original is included with the car), and chrome radiator plumbing. The AC compressor, intake manifold, and various aluminum brackets have been polished, though they need to be hit with some aluminum polish to bring back their luster at this point. There are also polished stainless steel engine dress up pieces throughout the engine compartment. Basically if it couldn't be chromed or polished, it was to be painted, and much of that has already been completed. I installed heavy duty, adjustable strut tower plates, and a chrome strut tower brace from Maximum Motorsports. All of this stuff had been added over the years, and doesn't even have a single mile on them yet. Inside
you'll find newer carpet and mats, recovered front Slaeen seats with
the correct net headrest, a MOMO leather steering wheel(the original
is included) , a Sony detachable face CD player Also
included is a set of heavy duty Maximum Motorsports sub-frame
connectors that still need to be installed. Included are the other
parts I had purchased but had not yet installed: BBK ceramic coated
shorty headers and
gaskets, I
have several boxes of parts, including the door pockets and the
original 1986 plug wires (almost impossible to find if you are
interested in restoration). I have probably forgotten some info that
may be important to you, so please feel free to message me with your
questions, and I'll be happy to answer them here. The car is located in Coarsegold, CA 93614. The buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping. Local pick-up preferred, but if shipping is needed, YOU are responsible for all arrangements. Vehicle will not ship or leave until it is paid for in full. |

Ford says utility vehicles are key to global growth
Tue, 26 Nov 2013While most of us believe that small, fuel efficient cars are the key to global expansion for US automakers, Jim Farley, Ford's vice president of Global Marketing, thinks otherwise. Last week, we attended an exclusive sneak preview of the Ford Edge Concept in advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and Farley told us that it's actually utility vehicles that will help the Blue Oval gain market share overseas. "There is no other segment in our industry that is growing like utilities," he said. "We expect over the next five years this full family of [utility] vehicles to really drive our growth as a company."
And Farley has the numbers to back it up, too. Ford projects overall automotive sales to grow 23 percent from 2012 to 2017, but the company's utility vehicles are expected to boom by an impressive 41 percent during that same period. Much of that growth will be in China, where Ford estimates its utility sales will explode. "The biggest opportunity for us globally for utilities is in China," Farley said. "China utility growth is expected to more than double from where it is today to 2017, which isn't that far away." Most astounding is that Ford projects its own utility sales in China will eventually increase by more than 2,000 percent when smaller crossovers, such as the EcoSport and Kuga (sold as the Escape in North America), and the Edge and Explorer, are factored in.
Ford's VP also expects utilities to lead the way in the struggling European market. "With all the difficulties of the European market, there is one segment that has actually expanded in volume over the last several years even though the market is way down, and that's utilities," Farley told us. Ford estimates that their utility sales will grow 65 percent in Europe from 2012-2017. "The utility segment is projected to grow we think about thirty percent between now and 2017 in Europe, and we think we are going to grow twice that rate as a brand," Farley continued.
2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
Fields 'required' to use private aircraft, could make $5.25M as Ford CEO this year
Thu, 03 Jul 2014Mark Fields' travels on the friendly skies will soon be a relatively personal affair, as the new CEO at Ford will be required to resume air travel via the company's private planes. Fields caught plenty of flak in 2007 for flying on the company's dime to visit his family in Florida. He's since flown commercial.
According to Ford spokesperson Susan Krusel, who spoke to Bloomberg, Fields (pictured above right, with Bill Ford, Jr. at center and Alan Mulally at left) will switch to private travel "for safety and to maximize his availability for company business." In addition to his new travel arrangements, the 53-year-old exec's salary and bonuses have been revealed.
Regulatory filings by Ford revealed that Fields, whose first day in the big chair was July 1, will receive a base salary this year of $1.25 million and he'll be eligible for $3.5 million in bonuses, both of which are lower than Alan Mulally's $2 million salary and $5.88 million in bonuses received last year. That's also lower than General Motors CEO Mary Barra's alleged $1.6-million salary and considerably less than Sergio Marchionne's $3.19-million fixed salary from Fiat. Despite falling short of other CEOs, Fields' new pay still represents a 33-percent increase over his pay as Chief Operating Officer.
