1989 Mustang 5.0 LX Convertible Red with a black top and red interior.  This is a 25th Anniversary model, it does have the original dash anniversary badge.  The interior is original and most of the paint is as well.  It looks like the red bellow the Black trim has been done at some time due to rock chips and the passenger side fender since it looks more like base coat clear there.  The underside is exceptionally clean, there is no rust that I have come across in the last 8 years of owning it.  I have done a lot of work on the car and been through about every square inch of the car.  When it was bought, I gutted the inside cleaning as I went.  The paint has been buffed out and cleaned up very well unfortunately an owner prior to me didn't know how to use the buffer and burned through the edges on the fender/hood areas and trunk quarter areas.  It still looks great for original 25 year old paint with 103k miles.  This car is not a perfect show car, but it is a great cruiser and will still do well at your local car show.  I bought it with 102k on it and it now has 103k, needless to say I have spent more time building it up to the way it is than I have driving it 8 years and about 1,000 miles.  I have probably spent close to $10,000 by the time I add up all of the receipts.  My last thing that I wanted to do was upgrade the braking system while keeping it 4 lug since I have the set of Pony's on it that I redid when I bought it.  Here is a list of most of what has been done to the car since I have owned it, there is the general maintainace items as well.

  • Flowmaster Force II Exhaust System with Polished Stainless Tips
  • BBK Cat X-Pipe with new o2 Sensors
  • Edelbrock Equal Length Ceramic coated Shorty Headers
  • Stage 8 Locking Header bolts
  • BBK 65MM Throttle Body and EGR Spacer
  • C&L MAF Sensor and Intake Tube
  • FRPP Cold Air Intake
  • FRPP Strut Tower Brace
  • KYB Front Struts and Rear Shocks
  • Rebuilt Steering Rack
  • Prothane Red Engine and Transmission Mounts
  • Refinished 16" Pony Wheels and General Exclaim UHP Tires
  • FRPP Spark Plug Wires, new plugs, Accell Cap & Rotor
  • New Radiator hoses and 180 deg Thermostat
  • New Black Pinpoint (Style used on new cars) Convertible Top
  • Convertible Top Cylinder and system bled
  • New Ford Battery Cables
  • New Headlight, turn signal and parking light kit
  • Reflective Mustang Bumper inlays and custom Mustang 3rd brake light overlay

If you want to take a look at the car please feel free to get in touch with me.  I do have it listed locally and have the right to end the auction early if it is sold prior to the end of the auction.  This is a binding contract. 

Most of the mustang fox problems have been taken care of, it is ready to drive.  My wife and I were talking about it today and we both agreed that it is a great car that we need to let go since we just don't have time to drive it.  If you are interested bid to win it is a clean car, don't waste my time if you're here screwing around.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:

Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.

Recharge Wrap-up: Grimsel electric car breaks acceleration world record, electric Ford Raptor ATV debuts

Sun, Nov 16 2014

An all-electric version of the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is now available... as an ATV. Made by Caddyshack Golf Cars, it features officially licensed Ford badging borrowed from the super-macho pickup. It has a lifted chassis with leaf springs in the front and rear, hydraulic shocks and off-road tires. Powered by a 48-volt motor, it can do 0-25 mph in 2.9 seconds. Range is an estimated 30 miles - plenty to get you through 18 of the most rugged holes of golf you've ever played. Caddyshack also offers other miniature electric Fords, including a Shelby GT500, Shelby Cobra and 50th Anniversary Mustang. Read more at Green Car Reports. Lexus takes a crack at the BMW i3 in a new video from Funny or Die. In the decidedly anti-EV film, a group of guys drives to Las Vegas for a "dad-chelor party" in a Lexus CT 200h and a BMW i3. The Lexus hybrid makes it to Sin City without any problems, while the BMW's occupants need to make several lengthy stops to charge along the way, missing much of the fun. The video lampoons the inherent range limitations of the EV (the BMW group ends up driving slowly through the desert with no AC or radio to save energy), all in a well produced, if somewhat misguided, short comedy film. Perhaps they should have considered the i3 with a range extender? See the video below, or read more at Green Car Reports. Students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University have set a new EV acceleration world record. Their "Grimsel" racing car was able to zoom from 0-100 kph (0-62.137 mph) in just 1.785 seconds in less than 30 meters (98.425 feet), crushing the previous record of 2.134 seconds. Even more impressive is that the Grimsel was built by the students themselves, as part of the Formula Student team at the Academic Motorsports Club Zurich. The car weighs just 370 pounds and provides 200 horsepower and 1,202 pound feet of torque from the four hub motors. The Grimsel uses traction control to manage torque for maximum acceleration. See the record acceleration run in the videos below or read more at Gizmag, at Electric Autosport or in the press release from ETH Zurich below. 'grimsel' breaks world record The 'grimsel' electric racing car today broke the previous world record for acceleration in electric cars. The vehicle accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.785 seconds in under 30 metres. The new record was set by students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, who also designed and built the vehicle.
