1990 Ford Mustang GT 5 speed, all black interior. Emerald Green/Titanium. 189,900 miles on the chassis, engine and transmission were rebuilt by previous owner. Engine runs perfect and doesn't leak anything, transmission shifts smooth. AC blows cold, heater and defroster work perfectly as a new heater core was recently replaced. Interior is original all black, very clean with minor scuffs. Ashtray door and armrest door both original and work perfectly. 

Car was built and has been in California its entire life from viewing the previous owners. There is no rust whatsoever on the underside or the hatch and roof that is common on these cars.  I believe I am the fourth owner, the guy I bought it from did not own it long and the previous owner before him owned it since about 1994.

I am a fox mustang enthusiast who has owned 5 fox bodies and this one is for sale due to a new '64 fairlane project leading to lack of garage space to keep both. I would very much like to keep it but simply don't have the space or time to give it what it deserves. In my ownership I have completed the 5 lug/cobra brake conversion as well as adding the electric fan and a few other things to keep it running perfectly and being reliable as a daily driver. Vehicle could be used as a daily driver or a fun weekend car. I will be upfront with the negatives and continue into the details. Thanks for looking!

Negatives:
-The car was backed into while parked only hitting the bumper and tail light from the side, the left rear tail light was broken as well as causing paint chipping and gouges in the bumper trim. I have filled much of the gouges and repainted the bumper but it is noticeable and the silver/titanium was not the exact match. From the rear it is hard to tell, but the bumper compared to the rear fender shows it very apparent. I would recommend a professional fix it, and may be best with a new bumper. (both tail lights have been replaced with new DEPO housings and lenses)
-Both front seat fabric are worn drivers side more than passenger, seat doesn't exhibit the "fox body lean" 
-Drivers side door lock does not lock by power, but does lock manually.
-Passenger window goes up and down slow but always works. Seems to work better when its warm out.
-Paint is a respray that is not perfect but is decent, various scratches and chips especially in the front of the hood. Cowl hood is not the highest quality but fits decently.
-Saleen wing on passenger side tab is broken/coming out of the body. Wing is secured not at risk of coming off

Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.

Ford to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.
