Up for sale is my 2004 Mustang GT 40th Anniversary Edition with a clean title. This was the last year of this body style. I am the second owner (carfax shows this) and have been a Mustang enthusiast since the age of 13 and have owned/restored a handful of them. Unfortunately I am going to be traveling on the road for my new job and will need a four door car for the next couple years. This car has been tastefully modified and doesn't need much else to make it perfect. I have poured a lot of money, time and sweat into this car making sure that everything was done perfectly and with the best of parts. I have NEVER seen another Mustang on the road like it. The body has 97k but the engine/tranny and driveline has been upgraded or rebuilt. She was tuned by AMP performance, a late model mustang shop out of Phoenix Arizona. I am sure I will be forgetting some items, but here is a run down of the specs off the top of my head:
ENGINE
Engine was rebuilt at about 60k miles using high performance parts by the previous owner. I don't know exactly what was used on the rebuild as I purchased the vehicle from the dealer. Since I purchased the car I replaced the entire cooling system (radiator, upper intake, water outlet, overfill tank, hoses), spark plugs, pullies, power steering pump, power steering lines etc... The motor has no leaks and runs very strong. Has a regular oil change every 2500 miles with full synthetic. Has not been on the Dyno but is estimated to be about 380 horsepower. I have the SCT handheld Programmer (cost me $450) that holds the custom tune along with the ability to self tune if you want it to get better performance or better gas mileage. The tuner will go with the car.
TRANSMISSION
Tremec trans completely rebuilt about a year ago by Chuck Hawk Automotive (Mustang specialty shop out of Tucson AZ). This transmission has less than 20k miles on it and operates smooth. They used the best parts and hasn't leaked a drop. When it was rebuilt Chuck also replaced the clutch with a Spec stage 3 clutch and new cable.
DRIVELINE/REAR END
The driveline was fully balanced with new U-joints about 6 months ago. The rear end is upgraded to 3.73 gears (gets off the line very well, has some great response and still gets good gas mileage).
SUSPENSION
The entire suspension (everything!) was replaced 6 months ago using the best of the best. Eibach Springs, shocks and struts were used along with Eibach front and rear sway bars, Steeda X2 ball joints and tie rod ends, along with polyurethane bushings all the way around (All bushings were replaced!). Steeda Caster/Camber plates were also installed so you can achieve a perfect alignment with the lowered suspension. Also took the time to paint a lot underneath the vehicle while the suspension job was being done. $4000 was spent in parts alone on the suspension.
WHEELS/TIRES
Upgraded wheels matched with top of the line tires all the way around! 275's in front (brand new), and Nitto 315's in the rear. The car looks mean from the rear with all that rubber!
BRAKES
Pads, rotors, and wheel bearings were replaced about 6 months ago at the same time as the suspension. Brakes smooth, and steers straight.
EXHAUST
MAC exhaust with 3" pipes all the way back from the headers. Very "throaty" sound and gets a lot of attention and smiles when I fire her up or tap the gas.
INTERIOR
The black and tan interior is mainly stock and in excellent condition (Drivers seat showing some slight wear). Has an upgraded shift bezel, an aftermarket cd player, cobra floor mats.
EXTERIOR
The exterior paint is in great condition for being 9 years old. There are a couple small items that will need to be addressed on the body that I simply do not have time to fix. The clear coat on the upgraded side scoops is oxidized and some cracking, the body shop quoted me $250 to have it taken care of. Then I had a truck back into the rear deck lid in a parking lot (hit and run) and slightly cracked it (body shop said $150 to fix, or $75 if they do the side scoops at the same time).
WARRANTY: There is an extended warranty on the vehicle that still has 2 years or 70k miles remaining (Which ever comes first) and covers a lot of the vehicle. Warranty is fully transferrable and will be signed over to the new buyer.
This is a vehicle that has been worked on with the intention of keeping forever, but plans change and I will have to let her go. It has never been taken to the track or raced. It would make a great daily driver, weekend cruiser or street/strip car. The car passed AZ Emissions (Smog) testing and is currently registered in AZ, but located in San Jose CA. I can work with you on arranging shipping. The car is being sold as-is, please ask any questions before bidding.
HAPPY E-baying!

Ford recalling 2015 Mustang for fuel line leak, 20K Transit Connects for plastic panel
Fri, Dec 5 2014Ford is recalling 738 examples of the 2015 2015 Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine – 712 in the US, 16 in Canada. A fuel pressure sensor might have been installed incorrectly on the affected cars, and that could result in a fuel leak. At the time of writing the company hasn't heard any reports of any incidents related to the issue, and parties with affected vehicles can take them to the dealer to have the fuel tube assembly replaced free of charge. The 2014 Transit Connect Cargo Van is also the subject of a safety recall, due to a possible problem with adhesive used on the exterior plastic panel on the sliding doors. There are 19,825 units covered by that recall, which dealers will also repair free of charge. You can find more information on both bulletins in the press releases below. Ford Issues Safety Recall for Certain 2015 Mustang Vehicles in North America for Fuel Pressure Sensor Issue Dec 4, 2014 | DEARBORN, Mich. - Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 730 2015 Ford Mustang vehicles in North America (actual 728) for a potential fuel line leak. A fuel pressure sensor, which is part of the fuel supply tube assembly, may have been installed incorrectly, potentially resulting in a pressurized fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Ford is not aware of any fires, accidents or injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2015 Ford Mustangs equipped with 2.3-liter engines built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Sept. 25, 2014 to Oct. 9, 2014. Ford is aware of 712 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories and 16 in Canada. These totals are as of Dec. 3, 2014.

Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Bill Ford op-ed argues we can't just build and sell more of the same cars
Thu, 10 Jul 2014It's hardly a secret that the auto industry is undergoing an enormous, tectonic shift in the way it thinks, builds cars and does business. Between alternative forms of energy, a renewed focus on low curb weights and aerodynamic bodies, the advent of driverless and autonomous cars and the need to reduce the our impact on the environment, it's very likely that the car that's built 10 years down the line will be scarcely recognizable when parked next to the car from 10 years ago.
Few people are as able to explain the industry's many upcoming changes and challenges as clearly as William Clay Ford, Jr., better known as Bill Ford. The 57-year-old currently sits as the executive chairman of the company his great-grandfather, Henry Ford, founded over 110 years ago.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Ford explains that the role of automakers is, necessarily, going to change to suit the needs of the future world. That means changing the view of not just the automobile, but the automaker. As Ford explains it, automakers will "move from being just car and truck manufacturers to become personal-mobility companies."
