I have this 1997 cobra up for auction.  It has the 4.6 dohc 4 valve, 5 speed. Mods are longtube headers, offroad Xpipe (previous owner welded headers to the offroad xpipe), SLP loudmouth mufflers, 4.10 gear, bbk cai, under drive pulleys, msd coils, short runner intake mod, IMRC delete, Hurst short throw shifter, adjustable clutch cable, sct X2 tuner, Blankenship tuned. Has been a best of 12.7x@107 mph in the 1/4 mile at London, Ky.  This car has been previously repaired from a front end collision approximately 10 years ago, this collision is the reason for the rebuilt title.  The car was hit in the front, the frame was pulled, the radiator support, both fenders, hood, front bumper were all replaced in this repair.  The unibody of the car still shows signs of the collision on the transmission tunnel area, but this didn't appear to affect anything as the car has been on the road for 10 years or so after the repair.  This car has been used as a weekend driver/toy during this time.  The body does need some alignments on the gaps, and the clear is peeling on the car.  All body panels and bumpers are nice, and the car has a brand new unpainted Saleen wing on it.  The rear taillights have been smoked, and look pretty decent this way on the black car.  
 
The two issues with the car that cause me to list it as a parts or project cars are...
1. The transmission broke a shifter fork on the last track outing for the previous owner, the tranny was pulled, the shifter fork was replaced, a brand new clutch was bought and it all needs reinstalled.
2. While the car was down, the previous owner sold the seats, (front and rear) out of the car in hopes of putting some racing seats in it, so right now it doesn't currently have any seats in it.  The rest of the interior is in it still, the airbags were replaced with regular mustang airbags.  The drivers door panel is hanging away from the door on the back edge, this door panel must have some clips broke? Everything else appears to be ok.
 
Clear Rebuilt title is in hand and ready to go with it.  No reserve on this auction, this car is for sale locally so I may end the auction at any time.  Can be seen in Whitesburg Ky, 41858

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).

2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 fills an F-150 Raptor-sized void

Tue, Dec 16 2014

Ford is rumored to possibly debut a new F-150 Raptor at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show in January, but whether that's the case or not, Hennessey Performance is ready to fill the muscle truck niche now with its latest VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged based on the 2015 F-150. The fantastically named VelociRaptor package has been available on the regular Raptor for the past few years, taking power up to 600 horsepower or more, depending on what the buyer desired. With the latest one, the performance truck is now based on the aluminum-bodied F-150, specifically the FX4 Super Crew model with the 5.0-liter V8. "Having Ford's world-class new truck design, with a weight savings of nearly 700 pounds, our VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged will have an even greater level of performance and driving excitement," said founder John Hennessey in the company's release. The heart of VelociRaptor is the Roots-type supercharger running at 8 psi on the V8. With help from upgraded fuel injectors, a proprietary engine management system and stainless steel exhaust, it boosts grunt from a stock 385 horsepower to over 600 hp. To make sure that power gets to the road, the package also includes 33-inch BFGoodrich mounted on 17-inch Hennessey wheels. For buyers in need of more, the company offers optional parts including an off-road coilover suspension, different front and rear bumpers, a winch, LED light bar and Brembo brakes. Speaking to Autoblog, Hennessey said he feels confident that the latest VelociRaptor could do high-four-second sprints to 60 miles per hour, compared to the outgoing model in the low-five-second range. Prices for the VelociRaptor start at $73,500, which includes the donor F-150, and orders are open now. Actual deliveries should start by March at the latest, according to Hennessey. The company also plans to offer a similar package for EcoBoost F-150s later. Scroll down to read the full announcement about this muscle truck. Introducing the 2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged Texas tuner adds power and improved off-road capabilities to Ford's all-new aluminum bodied pick-up trucks December 16, 2014-For immediate release Sealy, Texas-For the past five years, Ford F-150 truck enthusiasts have had the special opportunity to own the SVT Raptor. With 411 hp and baja pre-runner capabilities, the Ford Raptor was one of the most capable 4x4's ever built. Sadly, Ford Raptor production has ended, leaving a void in the market for 2015.
