1986 Ford Mustang GT

Up for auction is my 1986 Ford Mustang GT. I have had this car for over ten years and have enjoyed every bit of it. I know the car's history and like to show you this to represent that this car hasn't changed many owners or tinkered on here and there by multiple people. I bought in July 2003 from my employer. He bought it for himself in North Carolina about five years prior. It was completely stock and unmolested besides an exhaust. During his ownership he had rebuilt the stock T-5 five speed and had the car completely repainted.
When I bought the car it was still factory as they get, minus the exhaust.

  • In late 2004 I installed the welded sub frame connectors, lowered the car with Ford Racing "C" springs, Steeda Tri-Ax shifter, and installed FRRP 3.73 gears.
  • 2005 the car received 17" FRRP Cobra R Silver Wheels and the 87-93 rear quarter windows
  •         2006 was the year for the engine upgrade. It was built with another block, so I could still drive it.
347 SCAT Stroker Forged Pistons @ 10.5:1 Compression 
Comp Cams Xtreme Energy XE274 .555/.565" 112LSA
185 AFR CNC Aluminum w/ upgraded valve spring to accomodate the cam specs
Crane 1.6 Full Roller Rockers held solid with a CAT rocker stud girdle
Fully ported GT40 lower intake and Comp Cams Polyer Powerbox Upper
70mm Professional Products Throttle Body
76mm C & L Intake Elbow with MAF calibrated to 30lb/hr injectors
Shorty Headers
Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch (Awesome holding, even better pedal feel!)

Cowl Hood installed to clear the intake.
 To help the new stroker breath better, over the winter of 2006-07, I installed 1-3/4" BBK Long Tube Headers and a BBK X-Pipe
Over the winter of 2007-08, the aluminum radiator and Taurus fan were installed, with auxiliary P/S cooler and the five lug conversion was completed using:
  • 94-98 Mustang Axles and Rear Discs
  • 2000 Front Spindles with Dual Piston PBR calipers.
  • KYB 4-Way Adj. Front Struts
  • FRRP Parking brake cables
  • AFS 17"x9" 03-04 Cobra rear wheels w/ 275/40R17 tires
  • AFS 17"x8" 03-04 Cobra front wheels w/ 245/45R17 tires
I won't lie and say the car was never raced. With modifications as such, what would be the point of not enjoying the power? It was raced VERY occasionally, not every weekend or even once a month.  Including the time before the engine was built, it's been down the track in my possession only 4 times. I have all the times slips from when the engine was built. 12.5 @ 112 on street tires. The suspension is more geared toward handling so I'm sure with sticky tires and a drag suspension, it could very well be in the high 11s is desired. Also I never trailered the car. Always driven there AND back. Reliability.

The stock T-5 transmission was never made to handle much more than the factory power plant, as many may know, so in the spring of 2012, I installed a FRRP Super Duty T-5 transmission. While it was on the jack stands for the transmission install, an SLP Loudmouth cat back exhaust system was put on as well.

Just a month ago, I installed a new rack and pinion and had the car aligned.  

This car you can truly get in and enjoy the ride.  It goes down the road with no pulling or vibrations. It's not a show car by any means, but it is super clean. There's very minor flaws that come along with a car that's actually driven. The mileage will go up as I still drive it.

Here's a quick video of the car idling with a quick blip of the throttle.


If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. For what has been invested, the reserve is very modest.  You couldn't build a car like this at that price!

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.

Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.

Meet Floyd Pullin, 102-year-old honorary president of Ford trucks [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

When we talk about trucks we often talk about how loyal truck owners are; it's men like Floyd Pullin who provide the proof. The 102-year-old man from Confluence, Pennsylvania has only owned Ford products since the 1920s, and he's done so well by Ford Trucks that the division named him honorary president for a day, not long after he took delivery of his latest ride, a 2013 F-150 STX.
That's the 16th Ford he's owned. If he bought his first when he was 16, he'd have flipped into a new car or truck about every five years. For 86 years. Not a bad run of business for either side.
Ford Trucks made a video to wish Pullin a happy birthday, which was celebrated at his local Ford dealership and was visited by a Pennsylvania state senator. You can watch it below.
