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.

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014



Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.

Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.
