For sale is my 68 Mustang that I got December 24th 1992 prior to my entrance into the United States Marine Corps. I named her Natasha. When I got her she had a 302 w/289 heads Factory air conditioning, PS, and manual brakes. She was Cherry red with maroon interior. So I drove her for a few years like that. Natasha has been one of the Loves of my Life.

     So about 5 years ago I decided to start a full restoration. Since Natasha was starting to show her age. I pulled her into the Garage and proceeded to pull every her down too the bare shell. I took her to a Classic Paint and Body shop in Charlotte NC. They worked her over and sprayed her in Bright Inferno Red. Now keep in mind I wanted to Hot Rod her up, add some Flare, but I also wanted to preserve her original appeal. I did not want her to be a beast. I looked at a lot of things other guys had done.

Drivetrain. I decided that the 93 Cobra Power Plant was the ticket.  So I bought a 302 Crate Roller Engine for a 1993 Cobra with the GT40 Cobra Intake which has been Extreme Honed. This is an original 93 Cobra intake. These are very rare and highly sought after. This Mustang has a Custom built set of Long Tube Headers that actually fit the car without scraping everything you cross over, unlike the TriY's. They fit around the C4 Bell house like a glove. The transmission is a fully rebuilt C4 automatic with a brand new 2500 Stall. Trans shifts smoothly and not rough at all. I did have a shift kit installed. The exhaust runs straight back to a set of Flowmasters for that nice Growl. I decided on the electronics to go with the more tunable version, so I used the A9P. The rear gears are Factory 273's She does such a fine job cruising I figured why Fix what's not broken. Wheels I wanted to give Her an updated looking set of wheels so I bought a set of Chrome 17x8 OEM Ford Mach 1 wheels for her. Keeps her looking Classic, but puts a great spin on her looks. I just added Brand new KYB Shocks.

Interior. I did not want a solid color and I did not care for the OEM red's of the day. I looked at different colors and cars and decided to use TMI's 1966 Mustang Red with 1968 Black on the seats. I used 1968 Black Door panels. Red Head Liner. Black Dash with Red Paint. I also used Dyno mat in the entire interior space, which really knocked out the noise. For the Stereo system. I used a Kenwood KDC-MP238. It has Blu Tooth, and the AUX input to run your Pandora or Ipod. I used the Q-Forms kick panels for some added sound in the cabin. She has Kenwood 6 1/2's in front and 5x8's in the rear. Great sound . She is wired up to have an amp in the back if you wanted to add a subwoofer. I added Lokar Pedals. The brake pedal is not pictured, but I have it new in the wrapper. I also used New Black Carpet.

I also Powder coated all the door hinges, trunk hinges, hood hinges in Black. I wanted to avoid that trashy look and keep it looking good for years which it will.

Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.

Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma top ASG list of most eco-friendly trucks

Mon, Mar 31 2014

No one's going to confuse the massively popular Ford F-150 pickup truck with a green vehicle, but at least it performs well in an environmental sense when compared to its brethren. The Automotive Science Group (ASG) took on the odd (to us, at least) task of measuring which pickup trucks are friendliest to the environment and found that the big seller in the Blue Oval's flagship F-series came up big, while the Toyota Tacoma came up, well, slightly smaller. That's a good thing. Among the 245 light-duty trucks that ASG studied, the 3.7-liter V6-powered F-150 won ASG's award for full-size trucks for both regular and crew cabs. Meanwhile, the 2.7-liter Toyota Tacoma, with its fuel-economy rating of 23 miles per gallon combined, had smallest overall life-cycle carbon footprint and won ASG's two mid-sized categories. Finally, the Chevrolet Silverado won best all-around performance in the full-size extended-cab category. The ASG factored in eco-friendliness, price and social performance (which is measured by, "considering the rights of those charged with vehicle manufacture and assembly") to come up with its findings. Sales of Ford's F-Series trucks rose 8.4 percent last year to 74,592 units and accounted for more than a third of the total 2013 sales of Ford and its Lincoln unit. Check out the ASG's press release below. Truck Buyers Faced With "Eco" Options Galore Which 2014 full-size trucks warrant eco claims? 25 March 2014 [Santa Rosa, CA] – With a myriad of eco-branded trucks hitting the North American marketplace in 2014 – from Ford's EcoBoost and GM's EcoTec3 to Ram's latest addition, the EcoDiesel – the Automotive Science Group (ASG) was prompted to offer an objective, scientifically-based assessment to determine exactly which 2014 trucks actually earn their "eco" badge. According to ASG and the principles of ecological economics, a vehicle's eco-rating must be multi-faceted to include both environmental and economic considerations, and so the Group's proprietary rating platform – the Automotive Performance Index – does just that. Using a unique combination of vehicle data inputs that include conventional specifications as well as social, environmental and economic performance indicators, ASG's vehicle assessments empower consumers to make choices based on one's personal principles and financial requisites.

Ford Focus PHEV on the way?

Tue, Jan 21 2014

A refreshed Ford Focus is in the works and that means a few details are leaking out. Spy shots from last month indicated the Focus will have a gaping grille just like its "One Ford" global C-segment comrade, the Fiesta. While Ford is being quiet about it, the Focus could also be getting an "Energi" option, joining the C-Max Energi and Fusion Energi in Ford's plug-in hybrid family. The Focus will likely use technology originated in the C-Max Energi that combines a 2.0-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor capable of a 20-mile range, according to Autoexpress. The pure electric Focus is expected to stay in the lineup despite its slow sales; its price range should be similar to what's on the market now. The third-generation Focus looked good enough to become the top-selling nameplate in the world in 2012. Some exterior changes to look for in the Euro-spec model at the Geneva Motor Show in March include a reshaped hood, front wing endplate and rear bumper. Interior spy shots have hinted at an updated dashboard design and a simplified, less cluttered control panel with updated climate controls. Under the hood, there are quite a few power options rumored to be available - a gasoline EcoBoost with up to 123 horsepower and two turbo-diesel TDCI options, a 1.6-liter or 2.0-liter mills that would produce between 94 hp and 161 hp. Then there are new 1.5-liter diesel and 1.5-liter EcoBoost gasoline variants that meet regulations in China, Brazil and Russia.
