Up for bid is my 2006 Ford Mustang premium GT. It has the 4.6L 3V V8 engine with a 5-speed manual transmission. The car is performance white with red/black leather interior and has the Shaker 500 stereo and most of the usual creature comforts such as cruise, tilt and power windows. I bought this car new in Jan 2006 and have owned it ever since. It has 7,631 miles on the odometer. Non-smoker. Clean and clear title. Despite the low mileage, the oil has been changed at least twice a year with Mobil One synthetic. The car has a variety of performance upgrades highlighted by a Kenne Bell twin screw intercooled supercharger kit set at 10psi of boost. I also have the kit supplied 8psi pulley.
The cosmetic condition of the car is near excellent in my opinion. It has been adult driven and garage kept since the day I took ownership. I have been caught in the rain in it 3 times. The paint overall is in excellent shape with a few blemishes here and there. The side skirts, front and rear bumper covers have normal expectants of imperfections for a lowered street driven car with wide tires and an aggressive tread pattern. Exterior upgrades include: Classic Design Concepts ducktail spoiler, Classic Design Concepts C-pillar scoops and has the corresponding cloth inserts in the interior to give a factory look, painted mirror covers, shorty antenna, satin aluminum fuel door and custom running horse pony in the grill.
The interior condition is near mint, only very light wear on the driver seat as to be expected. Interior is mostly stock with the exception of the Hurst Billet Plus shifter and push button start which is not required to start the car but is functional. In other words, the engine will still start using the key. Aftermarket floor mats, aluminum pedal covers, UPR polished aluminum window switch plate covers and polished aluminum radio dial. It also has a triple A-pillar gage pod with: boost, fuel pressure and a digital tachometer with shift light. Note: the Auto Meter digital tach is unreadable as several of the lights are burnt out but the shift light functions.
This car has excellent street manners and drives very nicely. The Kenne Bell tune that was supplied with the supercharger kit was ditched in favor of a custom dyno tune performed by Ken Bjonnes of Modular Depot in Cincinnati, Ohio. This was done mainly to improve throttle response as the then new, electronic throttles in these cars were notoriously bad for lagging. If curious, the car made 454 rear wheel horsepower and 430 ft/lbs of torque. Included with the car also is an SCT Excalibrator 2 computer programmer.
Other upgrades include a full JBA exhaust system that features ceramic coated 1 5/8" long tube headers feeding into a 2.5" JBA high flow catted H-Pipe that feeds into the factory mid pipes and lastly out a Flowmaster American Thunder axle back exhaust. It is quite loud under acceleration but definitely tolerable when cruising. Car also has a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch kit and a Fidanza aluminum flywheel. Sits on 18" chrome Bullitt wheels that are deep dished in the back. Tires are BFGoodrich KDW 2 series and the rear set have less than two hundred miles on them. Rides on Eibach pro lowering springs kit. Also upgraded was a complete rear axle assembly from Ford Racing. It is the same axle that comes stock on the current Boss and GT500 mustangs and has 3.73 gears, a bump up from the factory 3.55's. The axle also has a finned rear differential cover for cooling purposes, 31 spline axles and the axle housing itself is painted matte black, nice touch I thought. This upgrade was performed in March of this year along with new rear BFG KDW 2 tires and powerslot rotors with Hawk high performance brake pads on all four corners. The front tires do show signs of wear compared to the rear ones but are still in good shape.
Other things that come with the car is a California Car Cover Noah style cover and a plethora of literature including Kenne Bell order forms and kit information, all receipts for upgrades, 06 mustang literature booklet from Ford, all included factory owner manuals and both sets of keys. I also have the window sticker but would prefer to keep it for sentimental reasons but would part with it if its important to a perspective buyer. I have tried to provide as much information as possible but if their is anything I have missed or you would like to see a specific photoed area of the car, please ask. All in all, I have over $13,000 invested in upgrades to the car. In closing I think I should make mention that this car has not been beaten on or abused. I bought the car when I was 25 and am 32 now. I primarily used the car for cruise-ins and weekend cruising with the occasional standing stop run through the gears or some hot rodding around town to run an errand. No side stepping the clutch from a stop or sustained high rpm, high speed interstate runs. It is a strong running car and I'm very confident in the condition of it. Thanks for looking. Can be contacted at anytime on the weekends or after 7p.m. EST at (859) 771-5903.

2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.
Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
