Up for auction is supercharged 1988 mustang.  I bought this car about a year and a half ago, but I have found that its just got a little more than I need under the hood.  It is a rush to drive, but I need a weekend cruiser with some go, and this car really should be cruising to the track on the weekends. I am a bit torn about selIing it, but we want to get something that the wife is comfortable driving too. I run the car on 50/50 race/pump gas.  It can run fine on just pump gas by simply dialing back the boost retard mouted on the dash.  The car has the 5-lug conversion and rims are from an 03 SVT cobra.  There are wheel spacers on the front lugs, so they can fit the 17x9" wheels.  I havent had a problem with them and a lot of people run them, but I was going to get something skinnier for the front. I'll leave that up to you. Mickey T drag radials in the back and goodyear eagle F1's in the font. The car is just how I bought it, and I will do my best to detail what I learned from the owner who had it built by a race shop in OK. I bought the car 200 miles after the build, and have put about 300 on it so everything that you see is about 2 years and 500 miles old, including the paint. He dumped a ton of $ into it and a house came up for sale that he had to have. I am not a mechanic, but I at least understand most of the terminology.  If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them. Please look closely at the pictures as the car is really nice, but not flawless. I do not have a hoist, but you can see that under the car is rust free. The motor is a 302 cleaned out to 306 with all forged internals, and a Vortec V-2 supercharger. The supercharger was used, but was sent in to Vortec for a complete rebuild when the engine was built. The car has been very dependable.  It always starts right up and runs great. A few of the non-essentials have been elimitated like heat, AC, wipers and cruise.  All of the lights and singals  are new and work fine.Below is a list of all aftermarket goodies that make this car something special.   The car put out over 700hp on straight race fuel at the crank. 537 hp to the rear wheels.

Trickflow intake and stage 2 cam

ARP hardware

SFI balancer

70mm throttle body

90mm mass air flow senser

flowed 42 lb injectors

Built in 6000 rpm rev limiter

Tremec TKO 600 5 speed manual transmission 

Lakewood scatter shield

Aluminum Flywheel

Spec Stage 3 clutch

Chromoly Driveshaft

31 spline axles with an auburn rear end

New disc brakes up front, new drums in back

New monroe shocks in the rear with rear links, and subframe connectors

Tubular front K-member with fully adjustable front coilovers

Stainless 2.5 inch mufflers (I cannot discribe how mean this car sounds...you just have to hear it)

All MSD ingnition (blaster coil, 6AL box, dialable boost retard for street fuel)

Ford Racing Tach with shift light.

Mishimoto Aluminum radiator with electric fan.

Please feel free to ask questions as I am sure I forgot something.  The car does have a slight oil leak from the rear main seal.  After some reading online I see that the ford 302 is known for that, ecspecially when they are boosted.  It does not leak all the time, only when it runs.  It has been such a small amount that I have left it alone.  The weather stripping and trim could be replaced in some areas, and the interior is nice, but not show quality. The plastic rear bumper cover has a slight bulge in the center that is more obvious in the pictures than in person.  The speedometer is not hooked up because it needs an a different plug is needed to go into the TKO vs its original 5 speed that the speedo is meant for.... Again please look at the pictures. Dont be scared off by this stuff.  Its all very minor, but as you can see from my feedback I don't want to try to sneak it by you and end up with an unhappy buyer.  For my starting bid you would be crazy not to be happy with this car.  The drivetrain cost more to build than $6k.  Good luck....and if you bid...plan on paying for it!

This is a re-list due to a non paying bidder.

Mustang Cobra Jet prototype garners $200k for charity at Barrett-Jackson

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

A few weeks ago we brought you news of a one-off Mustang Cobra Jet that Ford was donating to charity. The car was set to be auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Now that auction has taken place, bringing in an impressive $200,000 for MS research.
That's a lot of zeros for a Mustang, much less one you can't even drive on the street. But the unique pony car, bearing serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1, packs a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, competition gearbox, wheelie bar, roll cage... all you could want, in short, in a turn-key drag racer. And all that for a good cause.

Ford's struggles in China continue as November sales drop 8 percent

Mon, Dec 11 2017

Ford's sales in China fell 8 percent in November from a year ago, following a 5 percent decline in October, the U.S. automaker said on Monday. The firm's sales in the first 11 months of the year totaled 1.06 million vehicles, down 6 percent from the same period a year ago. Ford's China sales growth has lagged behind rivals in the world's top auto market this year, with the carmaker now looking to overhaul its strategy to revive growth in China under new chief executive Jim Hackett. Among other moves, the review of its China operations will likely see Ford focus on segments such as electric cars and electric commercial vans, with China encouraging to help clean up its polluted and congested city centers. Ford is looking to roll out more new-energy vehicles for China and is planning to experiment with a more direct selling approach in a partnership with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

Ford Figo concept unveiled in India

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Ford has officially unveiled the Figo Concept at the 2014 Auto Expo in New Delhi. While it may wear a concept badge, we'd argue this little sedan, which is under 12 feet long, looks ready to replace the current Figo and do battle with other B-segment cars in the world's emerging markets.
"With the Figo Concept, we are showing that choosing a compact sedan does not mean compromising on premium design or smart solutions," said Kumar Galhotra, Ford's VP of engineering, global product development. That premium design includes Ford's familial, trapezoidal grille and Fusion-esque headlights in front, while the rear end reminds us of the last-generation Focus Coupe. While that car wasn't exactly attractive, the chopped off tail looks pretty nice on this smaller car. And if you really don't like the looks of the Figo Concept, just remember - it looks better than the current production model. Aerodynamically, the Figo's shape is quite slippery, which means reduced wind noise and improved fuel economy.
As for the "smart solutions" touted by Galhotra, the narrow confines of Indian streets make driving even the tiniest cars a challenge. To give the Figo Concept a one-up on the competition, Ford has fitted power-folding mirrors that sport a "flexible architecture," which should stand up well to bumps from cars, people or bikes. We don't have any interior images, but Ford is promising a large cabin, that includes a dock that can accommodate a phone or MP3 player, allowing either to be controlled through the car.
