This mustang has been built right. 100% show quality, looks better than new. No expense spared. Exterior, all trim, engine, trans, rearend, EVERYTHING.  It was a west coast car with zero rust when I got it.  75k miles.  The car was in great condition aside from the paint sun baked.  I had this car stripped down…the RIGHT way.  Doors, hatch, fenders, hood, bumpers, trim, glass all taken out.  Car was sanded, primed and painted better than factory.  Extra charcoal in the black mix, extra clear coat, wet sanded and buffed.  No swirls, mirror finish, darker and shinier than a brand new black car. No tape lines.  Even the door jambs and inside the hatch etc were all prepped and sprayed while it was apart.  Just the paint alone cost $4,500.00.  I easily have 25k wrapped up in this car…and it shows.  You have to see it in person to appreciate it.  Beautiful, rare, black on black 25th anniversary mustang.  Not a scratch, dent, swirl, or chip on it.  Everything is like a new car or better.  I have added a couple pics from before so you can see it was not a basket case.  It looked good already, never seen snow or salt.  There is not even surface rust anywhere underneath the car on any panels or frame rails(uni body).  I wanted it show perfect, not just cruise by perfect.  I am just extremely particular and I have to have my vehicles perfect cosmetically and mechanically.  IT IS LASER STRAIGHT.  No waves in any panels.   (the pics from before resto, it has 4 lug draglites and stock headlights).

While the car was apart, I added a Cervinis 4" Cowl hood(painted under as well), new windshield AND both brand new NOS quarter glasses($500 each, couldn't stand weathered surrounds), ALL new trim around windows and doors(rubber and plastic), ALL new weatherstripping, new doorhandles, new pins and bushings everywhere(doors shut like a cadillac), and new smoked headlights and taillights.

I am more than happy to take pics anywhere on this car, inside and out, in any area you would like.  It has no issues.  If you are concerned with any problem areas, let me know and I can take photos to assure you.  I am sure I am forgetting things.  Just write me and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Xcar celebrates 100-year anniversary with Model T tribute

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Never mind the fact that XCar hasn't been making videos for the last 100 years, the British duo have gone all silent-moving-pictures in order to make their centenary case for the Ford Model T, a car that was already seven years old in 1915. It's not a review, but a mostly sepia-tinged look at the car that started the mass-market adventure by taking that biblical advice to be fruitful and multiply and populate the Earth abundantly. Since it looks like Xcar is celebrating some kind of milestone, we've also included another video below of the first Xcar review we could find, covering the BMW M1, from the much more recent past - circa 2012.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat

Sat, Apr 18 2015

Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.
