You are bidding on my 1999 Electric Green Metallic Mustang SVT Cobra show car.  I am the second owner and purchased this car in July 2000 with 12,800 miles.  During the first 20 months this car was my daily driver and 20,000 miles was put on it. In December 2001 I purchased another daily driver and at that time the Cobra became my specialty and hobby car.  At approximately 34,000 miles, the extensive modifications began.  I estimate that there is over $20,000 in modifications on this car; most records are still retained.  This car was primarily a show car but in the mid 2000's was drag raced on a few occasions.  In April of 2007, the car received substantial power through the addition of a Paxton Supercharger and other related modifications.  At that time the car became an exclusive show and cruise night car. Since December 2001 the car has averaged approximately 2000 miles per year and, of course, has always been garage kept. The Cobra has been a big part of my life but after 14 years and many car show trophies it is time to let someone else enjoy her.  I will now list most of the modifications and some background of the car.

This car performs well and is a pleasure to drive.  I would now like to comment on what I see as imperfections.

-In June 2013 when I had the tires mounted and oil changed, I asked my mechanic to look it over.  He found the following:  slight seep rear trans seal (I have monitored this ever since and have not seen a drop of fluid); both sides rear lip bent at rocker panels (I believe I did that when jacking the car up).

-The paint is in incredible condition for its age.  There are 2 scratches that are very difficult to see on the bumper and driver side of the car by roof.  Some very slight chips and thin paint can be noted but, again, very difficult to see.  There are a couple of slight stains on the rear rug but cannot be seen when mats are in place.  The passenger seat has a tiny black spot most likely a marker in my pocket, it is extremely hard to see.

Overall, an incredible car that gets a lot of attention where ever I take it. Most cannot believe that it is a factory color.  I have tried to be as open and honest as possible but encourage any questions.  I do have a lot of collectibles that go with this car and would be happy to include them if the winner so desired them.  This is a unique car that I have tried to tastefully modify.  The reserve, in my opinion, is reasonable for this car.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.

Dealers price gouging Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition by up to $20k [UPDATE]

Wed, Feb 11 2015

UPDATE: Sheehy Ford's Cory Belcher got back to us, confirming that the price premium was related to the limited nature of the 50th Anniversary Mustang and that the figure listed was based on what other dealers were charging, while adding that the dealership was "very flexible" on the final price of the special edition car. So while there remains a hefty markup, it's possible that consumers could get out the door without spending quite so much over MSRP. It's no secret that dealers take some – let's call them "liberties" – with the prices on vehicles that are very new, highly in demand or available in very limited numbers. As we've explained before, they're well within their rights to charge so-called market value adjustments. We don't usually see these adjustments on mainstream vehicles, though. Then again, you could argue that the 2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition is not necessarily a mainstream vehicle. It starts at $46,170, which isn't peanuts, but it's still a Mustang. There's still a large portion of the buying public that could put one in their driveway, if they so chose. Then again, maybe they can't. That's because dealers are (still) issuing massive premiums on top of MSRP for the limited-edition model. It's happening at Sheehy Ford Gaithersburg, where a salesperson named Lou confirmed to Autoblog that the dealership is charging around $20,000 over MSRP on not one, but two Anniversary Editions. He explained that Sheehy isn't alone in the upcharge: "We like to see what other dealers are asking for," he told us, in reference to the limited edition 'Stang. We have a message in for the dealership's general manager for deeper info, too, and will update this post when/if we hear back. We corroborated Lou's story, though, with another Maryland area dealer, Century Ford, who confirmed that the $46,995 listed on the dealer's website for its Wimbledon White Anniversary car was incorrect, and the actual price was "around $64,000." He echoed Lou's reasoning for the upcharge, while adding that dealers are likely only going to see one or two examples, of the 1,964 produced. Perhaps the most worrying part of this entire affair is the sense of deceit that accompanies it. Neither of the dealers we spoke to copped to the market value adjustments on their website. We had to call and ask specifically about the cars in question to get the actual price.

Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]

Fri, 16 May 2014

When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.
