The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Overall the car is in excellent condition, mechanically it is near perfect. All flaws are detailed better in the description, but the front tires are getting old, there is some paint oxidation on the front and rear bumper panels, and there is a small dent on the bottom of the passenger door. The rest of the paint is great, but does show some signs of age since it is a 96. Please read the entire description and look at all of the pictures! Also ask questions if you are unsure about anything."

This is a beautiful 96 Mustang with less than 80,000 miles! The car is 100% original and rust free with a black leather interior and a 5-speed transmission. One good thing about this car is that it has never been messed with and altered with a bunch of after market parts and still retains factory reliability. The car has never been beat on which is obviously very uncommon for a mustang. The proof for this is that close to 80,000 miles the original tires from 96 were finally changed and not because the tread was gone, but because they were dried out and started to crack.

This car has also been recently maintained and updated so whoever buys it will be able to drive it without the need to do anything. Here is a list of recent updates:
6/13/13 74,603 miles - Kuhmo AST tires on the rear ($292)
6/20/13 75,204 miles - Motul Engine Clean oil flush, oil change with Royal Purple Oil ($74 for filter and oil) and transmission fluid change with Royal Purple Synchomax ($68 just for fluid)
6/25/13 75,676 miles - NGK Laster Iridium Premium Plugs ($86 not including labor)
7/5/13 Gas Mileage Check, 24.78mpg with 240 miles driven at 75mph


Here is a break down to the best of my knowledge of each area of the car. ALL know issues will be addressed!

Engine - All original, ZERO problems, starts right up, runs very strong and smooth, no missing, idles perfect.
Engine accessories - Belt tension pulley occasionally squeaks but goes away once the car is warmed up.
Transmission - Shifts 100% perfectly, synchronizers are great, no issues at all.
Interior - All gauges work, no check engine lights are on, the radio has been replaced with a cd player, black leather that is in excellent condition for a 96. The dash and door panels are literally brand new in appearance, and the carpet is very nice too. The only flaw with the interior is that although the carpet is very nice, you can tell that people have driven the car before meaning that for a 96 its probably about the best you can get.
Suspension - The car rides excellent with no complaints, but there is a squeak in the front passenger side during slow speeds when there are bumps. The car drives down the road straight too but will need any alignment as some point because the steering wheel is slightly off while driving straight.
Body - The body itself is in great shape and all of the lines and body panels line up perfectly. The passenger side door has a small dent/scratch on the bottom rear corner from where a vehicle slightly bumped into it in a parking lot. There are 2 pictures showing the damage.
Paint - All of the metal panels look great as far as the paint goes, but keep in mind the paint is from 96 so it does show some age but still shines bright and looks great! There is some oxidation on the plastic front/rear bumper panels and I took several pictures of that too.
Tires/brakes - Rear tires are brand new, the front ones will need replaced somewhat soon. The brakes have life left as they don't make any noises and the car stops just fine!
Other - The A/C does work! It blows very cold! There are power windows and locks as well.

If you have any questions about anything please feel free to contact me and I will respond as soon as possible.

Mulally will stay close to Ford after he steps down, plans to advise Fields [w/video]

Fri, 27 Jun 2014

Ford CEO Alan Mulally has less than a week left in his role of leading the Blue Oval before he hands off duties to Mark Fields on July 1. It doesn't look like Mulally is going to be shuffling off into his retirement anytime soon, though. The 68-year-old is being rather secretive about his next move, but he tells Bloomberg in a recent interview that he plans to stay close to Ford. Also, if Fields wants to ask for any advice, Mulally is happy to help.
Mulally took over at Ford in 2006 and led the company through a seriously rough patch in the auto industry. According to Bloomberg, he became famous or his Thursday meetings where executives were forced to deal with any problems before they could leave. Since announcing his retirement from Ford in May, Mulally has been insuring a smooth transition of power by traveling the world to all of company's major locations and saying goodbye to employees and dealers.
In terms of the future at Ford, Mulally doesn't predict any big changes in management style because the rest of the executive team is staying in place. He believes that Fields is going to maintain the processes already in place to keep things going. After all, it seems to be working. The company is predicting a return to profitability in Europe next year and is opening 88 new dealers in China. If the business could get its recalls under control, things could get even better.

2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.

Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
