Relisting due to someone thinking ebay is a fun place to bid on things you cant afford.  He backed out when he found out that shipping is expensive.  Please don't be a fool too.

Up for auction is my 1988 Mustang GT Convertible 5 Speed 5.0 v8 car.

This is a PROJECT VEHICLE.  I just had it inspected and the engine started knocking last week.  Will NEED WORK.

Clutch was also worn but drivable.  I drove it over 1500 miles in the last 2 months leading upto the engine knocking.

5.0 V8, still has the originial emmisions equipment under the hood, rare to find one that hasnt been hacked all apart nowadays.

Showing 40k miles, I believe it to be 140k miles. **Please note the "title issue found" seen above the description is because of this.  These cars only have 5 digit odometers, so when a title gets transffered it could have been recorded as 40k or 140k earlier in its life.  Since its so old now they are exempt, but they still record the mileage.  I believe the car to have 140k miles on it based on my experience of how it drives, how original alot of the parts look and experience with mustangs and the other 70+ cars ive owned.**

The top will need to be redone, as well as the top motor is bad.  The top can be put up and down by hand but it does have a few holes and no rear window. I keep it in the garage so the top didnt matter to me.

The A/C didnt work, but again, i only drove it on nice days with the top down anyways.

The rear window motors are missing, the windows can be put up and down by hand.  The front windows work.

Has brand new headlight set installed 2 months ago.

Car has original black paint and red interior, a great color combination to restore and is in pretty good shape for a 25 year old vehicle but is not perfect.

Will start and move onto trailer, but should not be driven far due to engine knock.


Clear Texas Title in my name and currently registered and inspected.

Car must be paid for within 7 days and picked up within 14.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

The big dune jump and the damage done

Mon, 20 May 2013

The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.
