2013 Ford Mustang Shelby Gt500 5.8l Conversion on 2040-cars
Saginaw, Michigan, United States
2013 FORD MUSTANG w/ 5.8L GT500 ENGINE
This 2013 Mustang started life as base Mustang V6 has been fully converted to Shelby GT500 specification with a
Ford Racing 5.8L engine upgrade. The conversion was done by me and my guys at Rehagen Racing with a little help
from some of my Ford friends. The primary donor vehicle was a very low mile 2012 GT500. The bulk of the wiring is
from the 2012 GT500 that was professionally modified to factory specs to work with the 2013 engine harness. It was
a very difficult challenge to make everything work as factory-intended. This was a top quality conversion with all
factory components. The mileage shown on the dash is the current mileage on the conversion and powertrain and
interior. It still has the "New Car Smell" (because it mostly sits in my garage at home). As mentioned, the body
is originally a 2013 Mustang V6 that now has 2013 GT500 bodywork (bumpers, grilles, spoiler, etc..) I added the
Shelby Super Snake hood because I had it... The brakes are the big 2013 GT500 brakes with 6-Piston Brembo
calipers, 15" front rotors, and 13" rear rotors. Suspension is 2012 GT500 Track Pack specification. The seats are
the standard GT500 power seats with red stripes from a 2012 GT500. I have the Recaro seats with the same stripes
in one of my other project cars (2010 Boss 302 with Glass roof and HIDs..). If you MUST have the Recaro seats, I
can do the swap. PLEASE do not expect that to be an even swap. The Recaros are worth at least $2,000 more and I
don't work for free.
This is a very nice car that I have invested a LOT of time and money into. I hate to sell it. The problem is, I
just don't drive it enough to justify keeping it. I have too many cars, especially Mustangs. If you are looking
for a cool car that is priced well below a comparable performance level car, this is it. I have watched eBay and
the auto auctions. I know what the car is worth. If you NEED a real Shelby GT500, this is NOT the car for you!
If you want the performance and look of a Shelby with a $5k-$15k savings, this might be worth a look and a plane
ticket...
Serious buyers email me with questions.
If you're a serious buyer, I can provide more detail on the car...

Radical RXC is a Mustang-hearted racecar for the road
Fri, May 30 2014Radical has been building fantastic open-cockpit racers and roadcars for years, for the track day enthusiast who wants a vehicle that looks like it could show up for a start at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The company's latest creation is the RXC, and while this coupe looks like a prototype racer, it's road legal in the UK and in some parts of the US. When testing a car this, um, radical, the first thought is likely to get it to the track for some big slides and wide open acceleration, but XCar Films takes the opposite approach in its latest video to learn how this racer fares on public roads. The version tested here is the standard RXC with the 3.7-liter V6 out of the Ford Mustang tuned to 350 horsepower with a seven-speed sequential gearbox; but Radical also offers the same engine with 380-hp, a 454-hp Ford EcoBoost 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, or even a 500-hp V8. Even in the most basic guise, it's a handful to control in the wet, if this video is any indication. The cliche of a road-legal racecar is bandied around a lot in the motoring world, but it truly applies to the RXC. The only problem with seeing the RXC exclusively on the road is that it can never really open up and show its full potential. This racer is indeed chomping at the bit to rocket off into the horizon, but all those pesky road safety laws hold it back. Still, the video is a chance to get a better impression about this thoroughbred sports car. Scroll down to check it out. This content is hosted by a third party.

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible shown on Twitter [UPDATE w/video]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013It hasn't yet been 12 hours since the hotly anticipated 2015 Ford Mustang has been let out into public view. After a series of evocative leaks over the course of the last days, we brought you a full deep dive of the sixth-generation pony car at the dawning of today. And yet, here we are rushing to bring you news of a new Mustang variant, already.
Be it part of a plan to keep the Mustang fervor at full boil, or a misunderstood email somewhere in the chain of command, Ford UK has unceremoniously tweeted a picture of the 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible. For a newly global Mustang, getting our first look at the droptop from the convertible-crazy British does make some amount of sense.
As for details, well, you're looking at them. Brandon Turkus reported yesterday that the Mustang 'vert would make use of a fully electric convertible mechanism, and that it would be of fabric construction rather than some kind of retractable hardtop. We see here that the fabric part is clearly true, and it does look as though Ford may still be employing the same kind of manually attached tonneau cover that exists right now. Of course, our view from this angle isn't great, and the particulars are still up in the air.
