Custom 2000 Mustang GT, Truely one of a kind. Chassis has 101,000 miles on it, but the motor is a new MMR, all forged, stroked 4.6 to 5.0 cobra short block, custom paint, no rust. The only parts that are not new and are stock: manual 5 speed, brakes but new pads and calipers, interior with no rips/tears. I bought the car completely stock and have owned it for almost 7 years. Since I've had it, it's never been in snow, stored and covered during the winter and only driven in unexpected rain. The car is a daily driver, but I only drive it during the weekends, mostly to and from car shows where it has won several 1st place trophies. The car is a beast on the street with plenty of power and a blast to drive, usually leaving my heart pounding and the hairs on the back of my neck standing up when i do lay into it a little. The car has never been down the drag strip only on the street. In 2009 I took the car to Walsh Motorsports to get a dyno tune with the stock block, cams, port matched and polished heads, upgraded comp valve springs, long tube headers, steeda exhaust and Vortech Supercharger with smaller pulley (2.7) to see what it could do. To all of our suprise the car laid down almost 600 RWHP  at approx 4,800 rpm's before Walsh shut it down and said we were beyond the stock blocks limit and there was a good chance of blowing it, luckily I brought the 3.5 vortech pulley to swap out. The end result was 500 RWHP at 8-9 lbs of boost a much safer number but at the limit of the stock block not the capabilities of the set up. Since then in 2011 I have replaced the stock block with a brand new Modular Mustang Racing all forged, balanced, stroker 5.0 cobra short block with only a few thousand miles on it at this time, not even broke in, put the 2.7 vortech pulley back on with around 15-16 lbs of boost, an 8 rib set up to prevent belt slippage and a air to water vortech cooling system with ice/water tank. The car runs great and has a ton more power and torqe. I haven't had it re-dynoed or even really seen what this car can do now because of the motor not being totally broke in. Although I planned on getting it dyno tuned this spring/summer to see what the final outcome is, I decided to put it up for sale in desire of a newer Mustang and a twin turbo set up. I know what youre thinking because I ask myself the same thing, "all that time, money, blood, sweat, and tears to turn around, sell it, lose tons of money and do it all over again....it's a viscious cycle. This car needs nothing, only you behind the wheel, but you better hold on!!  Below are a list of parts and modifications with approximately $28,000 invested. I will drop the car off to local shipping company if needed. Sale is final.

 Please, only serious buyers. Dont waste my time and I wont waste yours. No trades, need cash for my next Mustang project, Thanks

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

Detroit Three's lucrative pickup war intensifies as Ram makes big gains

Thu, Jan 3 2019

DETROIT — The battle for profits from sales of large pickup trucks is intensifying among the Detroit Three automakers as sales of small cars in the United States shrivel. For decades Ford has had the single best-selling truck brand in its F-Series trucks. General Motors' Chevrolet brand was a solid No. 2, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram was a distant third. Now, that hierarchy may be in flux. Sales figures for December and the fourth quarter released on Thursday show Ram tied with GM's Chevy for the No. 2 spot, as sales of the redesigned Ram pickup surged, fueled in part by demand for an optional 12-inch (30.48 cm) dashboard screen. Chevy not long ago held second place to Ford by a wide margin. GM executives said on Thursday they are bullish on their new GMC and Chevy trucks for 2019.Related: How the Detroit Three's pickups compare on paper 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie review 2019 Chevy Silverado 2.7L four-cylinder review 2019 Ford F-150 2.7L EcoBoost review "There's no doubt this segment (pickup trucks) is one of the epicenters of the auto wars," said Sandor Piszar, director of marketing for Chevrolet at GM. "It's been that way forever, and we wouldn't have it any other way." On Wall Street, investors give electric car leader Tesla a higher valuation than any of the Detroit automakers. But in the nation's heartland, big pickups remain far more popular and profitable than any electric car — and most other consumer vehicles of any kind. Large pickups generate at least $17,000 a vehicle in pretax profit for GM, the company has indicated in disclosures to investors. By contrast, many Detroit Three sedans are so unprofitable, their manufacturers have decided not to build them anymore. 'Hotly contested' Sustaining sales and pricing in the large-pickup segment will be critical in a year when most forecasters expect overall U.S. car and light truck sales to fall. Ford's U.S. sales chief, Mark LaNeve, on Thursday called the F Series "the backbone of our franchise" during a conference call, and added the "segment will continue to be strong, but hotly contested" in 2019. Automakers are banking on pickup truck sales to stay strong even if U.S. interest rates continue to rise. Rising interest rates translate into higher monthly car payments and are expected to deter some buyers in 2019. GM has said 27 percent of Chevrolet and GMC trucks — which can haul trailers by day and substitute for a luxury sedan by night — sell for more than $55,000.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost

Wed, 19 Nov 2014



A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.
