 One of a kind Custom Retro Mod Mustang Car Show Winner!   This Mustang has the clean sleek looks of the new generation Mustangs with the heart and soul of a vintage Mustang! You know the ones that had the big V8 engines (351 ci) with all that power and torque. Many tens of thousands of dollars have been spent to get this beauty to the stage it is today!  What started out as a repossessed stock V6 1994 Mustang (PW/PB/PS) that was damaged by hitting a deer is now a one of a kind "old school" powered Ford with new generation styling and stance! To get that combination of New era Mustang combined with vintage old school power the builder took the 94 Ford Mustang and pulled out all the meek 6 cyl. power train and implanted a 70's era 351 ci. motor with 1969 351 ported/polished heads and 2- 4 bbl. carbs. along with a Richmond 5-speed transmission. This car is also equipped with an Air Ride Technologies air bag system on all 4 corners which allows you to adjust the height of the cars stance or ride. It has been completely re-built with no expense spared on the body, paint, engine and interior. When parked or at car shows you can let out the air and "slam" it all the way down to the pavement!! People love it and it looks awesome! The special wheel off-set and tire combination allows the tires & wheels to tuck inside the wheel wells of the car - which as you know is hard to do on a Mustang!  The high gloss professional NAPA Black Paint with shaved door handles (uses door poppers for access) & emblems along with the color changing Ghost Flames really makes a statement! A very "Bad Boy Mustang" all the way around. If you are looking for a truly one of a kind Mustang that stands out in the crowd of all others this is the one for you! All the work has already been done. Just polish, drive and show it off!! Reserve is only a fraction of what has been spent on this Mustang! Good Luck!

Hot Wheels Ford Transit Connect is worth more if we keep it in the box

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

If the 2014 Transit Connect is anything like it's utile current-generation predecessor, and we suspect it is, it will undoubtedly be one of the most functional vehicles in North America. Ford has used the occasion of SEMA to turn the TC in to things that both make use of that functionality, and occasionally sort of wreck it in the name of good old-fashioned fun. The Ford Hot Wheels Transit Connect most certainly falls into that second category.
Most TC owners might cite the vehicle's massive cargo capacity as its top positive trait, though in the case of this wide-bodied Transit said space has been sapped in the name of a 55-inch television screen, a massive Hot Wheels drag strip (continuing a popular theme at SEMA this year) and custom storage for dozens of models from one's personal hot wheels collection. Designers have also plucked the grippy Recaro seats from the Focus ST, and thrown in a pair of 18-inch tablet screens for connectivity on the go.
Naturally, the Transit Connect wouldn't be an appropriate SEMA vehicle, or Hot Wheels name-bearer, if it weren't wearing an eye-popping appearance package. Additional homage to the Focus RS can be found in the blazing blue and orange front fascia and bumpers, while 20-inch wheels make sure the wider (four-inches in front and six-inches in the back) Transit Connect sits just right. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder-engine that powers the Hot Wheels TC ensures that the concept is more show than go, but you probably had that pegged from your first look, anyway.

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
