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!

Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.

Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
