Up for sale is a 1989 Mustang LX hatch 5 liter 5 speed car. It has 160,000 miles but runs excellent. I drove the car from Northeastern Pennsylvania to here in Michigan last summer, about a 600 mile trip and had no problems, I wouldn't hesitate to take the trip in the car again. As with every used car; there is good and bad. I'll start with the good

The Good

The car runs and drives excellent
Minimal rust for the area; the car has spent its entire life either in Northeastern Pennsylvania or here in Michigan
It has a Pioneer CD player and Pioneer and Infinilty speakers
the only miles on the new tires are from the trip here to MI
with the 3.73 gears; the car gets about 26 MPG highway, was almost 30 with the 3.08 rear gears
The car is lightly modified and the parts are as follows:

3.73 gears
McLeod Stage 2 clutch
1 5/8 BBK shorty headers
Off - Road H-pipe without cats
2.5 in Flowmaster 2 chamber mufflers and tailpipes
sub frame connectors
I'm sure I'm forgetting other things but I was basically preparing for a stronger engine

The Bad

There is rust on the car but as I said before there is only surface rust, no through holes
There is a dent in the roof that can be seen in the photos, that is the reason that there is no headliner in the car, however I already have a $280 ABS plastic backed replacement from late model resto that is included with the car
The cruise control has not worked since I have owned the car

I think that is about it. $500 down payment via paypal required within 48 hours of auction close. If you have any questions, by all means ask. I do not want to ship the car but if you must; you have to make arrangements with me first and the car will not leave until there is all the cash in my hands. The car is available for viewing locally, just send me a message and we can arrange to meet.

Good luck and happy bidding!

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.

2015 Ford Mustang [w/videos]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is assuredly the most anticipated new vehicle of the year. The redesigned Pony Car has been the subject of frantic gossiping and covert spy photos covering everything from the way it looks to the tech it will include, its performance, mechanicals and a bevy of other aspects of Ford's performance icon.
