This car is turn key right now but not completely finished. I have a 1988 mustang convertible 5.0. It had the 302 motor and the t5 5 speed tranny. The paint is pretty good . It does have some little dings and some little chips but its not bad. This is the 2v cleveland. I did a complete 351c 5.7 swap. The motor was built by Douglas machine in Gardnerville NV. the motor might have 20 miles on it. I dropped it in last year with fresh markings on the crank. The motor was $2200 to build I have a receipt for my purchase price of $1400. It's 10 to 1 compression, baja beast moderate cam, keith black pistons, and stock 2v cleveland heads. The car is dirty its just been sitting in the garage but will clean when sold. the transmission is a built c4 with tranny pan good for 700 horse with a tiji boy torque converter and a trans brake. It's a 3500 stall. The torque converter was $800 by itself. Tranny was about $3000 it is bullet proof. It has about 10 passes on the track in Fallon NV. has brand new 31 spline alloy axles. 411 gears with posi traction. The carb is a holley 800 cfm double pumper and is way too much carb for this car. It needs a nice new 650. This is the reason the car is not running 100%. It's a little sluggish and running too rich.The AC is deleted. The power steering pump is brand new and in the car but it is bypassed at the moment. Billet aluminum V groove pulleys. The shifting linkage is loose but it will still shift into gear and park but at times it's tough finding reverse. It just needs a little adjusting. Inside the car there's a cluster gauge with the water temp and oil pressure. The water temp is not hooked up. This car does have a CD player that works. I have a custom made shifting bracket with a B&M pro stick shifter with a trans brake button and B&M shifter cable. There's a light up toggle switch to turn the trans brake on and off. Interior carpet and front seats are in good condition. The back seat has a seat cover and faded back rest. I also have the complete convertible top frame with hooks and latches. There's no material on the frame but I have a brand new canvas easy on top with glass window from Convertible Top Guys with receipt, strips and pads. I paid around $600 for it. I have extra convertible pump motors and cylinders to operate the top. Car has duel exhaust and flow masters 3in. all the way back. Hedders are long tube. Battery has been re-routed to the trunk and has the battery box. It has chrome cobra 18in rims with Nexus Tires with good tread. The fog lights don't work but all others(lights&signals) do. All new fittings in the gas tank to convert from fuel injection to carberated All new heavy duty fuel line. I've spent a lot of money on wires, hoses, fittings, seals and other small things for this vehicle. The car will need to be haul by trailer because it's not complete. The car has not been registered for a year and I have the title in hand. The car has a low reserve price. If you're serious about buying please send me a message with a phone number and we can talk more in depth about it. I can send you more pics that are better and can clean it up first. These are not the best.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford announces e-bike project, Honda Accord Hybrid availability catches up
Thu, Mar 5 2015Supplies of the Honda Accord Hybrid have apparently caught up with demand. Honda originally launched the Accord Hybrid for the 2014 model year, but lack of availability plagued interested customers and eager dealers alike. Honda cited "component supply constraints" - likely batteries, electric motors and the like - for the lack of available vehicles. Now, "The supply of Accord Hybrids in general is in line with the supply of the regular Accord sedan," according to Honda's Angie Nucci. Read more at Green Car Reports. Apple is seeking a resolution to a lawsuit accusing the company of poaching employees from lithium-ion battery maker A123 Systems. A123 has requested a court order stopping a former employer from breaking an employment agreement, as well as keeping Apple from encouraging the person to do so. Apple has requested more time to respond to that court order. A123 has also filed a suit accusing five employees of breaking nondisclosure agreements and going or trying to go to work for Apple. Insiders say that Apple is developing an electric car that could go into production as early as 2020. Read more at Automotive News. South Dakota's Ethanol Infrastructure Incentive Program is helping retailers fund ethanol storage. The state government has set aside $300,000 as part of the program to fund ethanol storage tanks at gas stations. The program, which originally set out to reimburse retailers for building ethanol flex-pumps, is now helping them expand their ethanol capacities. Retailers can apply for funds for pumps and storage through June 30. Read more at Argus Leader. Ford is expanding its Global Mobility Plan with the Handle on Mobility electric bike experiment. The foldable MoDe:Me e-bike is for personal use and commuting, while the MoDe:Pro is built for commercial duty, with both powered by a 200-watt motor and 9-amp-hour battery. The bikes use an iPhone app called MoDe:Link, which provides various information and controls important bike functions. Through the app, the bikes offer navigation (with traffic data, available public transportation and charging locations included), with handlebar vibrations letting the rider know when and where to turn and automatically activating turn signals. The bike can sense and alert the rider to other vehicles on the roadway. Pedal assist is based on heart rate, allowing the rider to arrive at their destination comfortably. See the bikes in the video above, and read more from Ford.
Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.
The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars
Thu, Mar 14 2024In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in. By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
