I finally decided to sell my 1999 Mustang GT Convertible (35th Anniversary) instead of finishing it.  I have two convertibles already and recently bought another project car so I need some space in my garage.  Ford only made a little over 14,000 of these in this color and I'm sure most of them are already in the grave.  Similar to all of the 1999 GT's, it has the anniversary badges on the fenders where the GT logo normally goes and it has the factory 17" wheels.

 

Here is a list of the cosmetic items:

  • Leather interior is in good condition - no tears, rips, holes but Driver's seat does show some wear
  • Interior is in good shape, carpet is reasonable but not perfect.  Dash and console are in good shape, the interior door grab-handle inserts have the same issue everyone else has, they just come loose over the years because of the plastic clip design.  No foul smells or anything, smells good and clean.
  • Convertible top is in good shape, no rips or holes or anything - the glass in the back is clear and solid.  The canvas edge-trimming is showing some small signs of wear from having the top down, but hardly noticeable.  Top goes up and down without stalling or binding and fits nice and tight
  • Paint & Clearcoat has a great shine, I've cut it and buffed it to help bring out some shine with a very mild polish so there is still a lot more gloss that could be buffed up.  It looks like it was resprayed since the factory paint, it's too glossy to be original
  • New headlights (old lights were just fogged beyond repair when I bought it)
  • New Taillights (one of them was cracked when I bought it so I a bought new set)
  • Tires have well over 70% left on them

 

Here is the list of mechanical items:

  • Stock 4.6 SOHC engine
  • Automatic transmission w/overdrive and traction control
  • New valve seals and valve keepers (they were shot when I bought it)
  • New valve springs
  • New valve gaskets and timing cover gasket
  • New IAC valve
  • New K&N Cold Air intake kit
  • Aftermarket exhaust with a nice deep rumble (H-pipe layout)
  • New fuel injectors
  • New Coil-On plug boots and factory-recommended plugs
  • New timing chains and tensioners
  • New battery
  • Has the redesigned metal coolant cross-over on the intake manifold - Ford recalled a bunch of these when the original cheap plastic cross-overs kept breaking
  • Unfortunately for me, cylinder #1 is just not holding good compression and has a misfire.  I've spent enough already and I'm done, I'm in too deep on this one already to put any more money in it.  I don't know what's wrong with it, might be a cheap fix or might be expensive - but I'm not spending any more time or money on it.  The car books out around $7,500 so there should be plenty of room to buy it and fix it.

I would not personally consider the car road safe, with the low compression on cylinder #1 it has a terrible misfire.  The buyer will need to trailer the car home or have it shipped and I can work with the buyer to make arrangements to get it shipped - it's not that expensive and well worth it.

 

Let me know if you have any questions, I try to answer messages in the evenings so give me a little time and I'll respond.  If I see anyone bidding with a feedback of less than 5 I'll be cancelling your bid unless you contact me first.  Also, if you don't pay when you win you're only ruining it for everyone else - so don't bid if you don't have the cash.  Title is in-hand and clear, I'm ready to take a loss and move on so bid to win!

Peel and Ford Transit do a great Austin Powers impression

Tue, May 6 2014

It's no secret that the average fullsize cargo van is big. Like, really big. Expressing that size, though, without actually seeing the van in question, is a pretty tall order. When viewed from the right angle, even something as big as a cargo van can appear very small (look up forced perspective, to see what we mean). That's why it's always good to have a second object on hand, to provide a sense of scale. Ford took this simple idea to the extreme, illustrating the size of the new Ford Transit by pulling the world's smallest production car, the Peel P50, nose first into the van's 487-cubic-foot cargo area. That's no big deal, though, right? After all, at just 54 inches long and 39 inches wide, the Peel would fit quite happily in even the smallest fullsize truck bed. Ford takes it a step further, though. With the help of an actual reverse gear (we're guessing this is a CVT-equipped, electric model), the P50 manages to turn itself around and drive out. It does this in less than two minutes. So yeah, the Ford Transit is a pretty big van. Take a look below for the video from Ford. This content is hosted by a third party.

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.

Will Ford's SUV blitz include the Bronco?

Sat, Feb 13 2016

Ford announced this week it will add four sport-utility vehicles in the next four years, an ambitious bet on a segment the industry once shunned. This led to wild speculation about what form these utes will take. Here's what we know: They will be new nameplates, and Ford is thinking globally. That means at least one might not be a product with US intent. They will also be in segments where the company does not currently compete, Ford said. The Blue Oval isn't specifying exactly what's it's doing, so here are some of our theories. We think one will be called the Bronco, which is great news for enthusiasts. We hope it follows the Mustang playbook with some heritage styling, but a thoroughly modern execution. Ford needs an off-road Jeep Wrangler-fighter. Fuel prices are low and it's been 22 years since the infamous O.J. Simpson white Bronco chase. This is the best chance Ford will ever have to bring back this iconic name. Our man on the ground at the Chicago Auto show, Sebastian Blanco, reported that Ford sales and marketing vice president Mark LaNeve said a "mini utility" will also be one of the utes. This could be primarily an overseas play. We've also seen lots of spy shots of the EcoSport, a small crossover that Ford sells in India and other overseas markets, being tested on American roads. That is an existing nameplate. Maybe Ford adds a small ute related to the EcoSport in the United States, but calls it something else. We think Lincoln gets a three-row SUV out of the deal. It could slot between the MKX, which was new last year, and the Navigator. Lincoln is leaving money on the table by not being in this segment. The platform could be used for a Ford at some point, too. The Blue Oval brand does actually have a tweener three-row vehicle, the Flex, but this chassis might underpin a replacement. Or maybe Ford makes one of these a hybrid. The company laid out ambitious plans in December to ramp up its electrification strategy, something that could mean a dedicated hybrid SUV (Kia unveiled one of those right after LaNeve's speech in Chicago). It's also possible hybrid technology will be integrated into this new portfolio. The Escape used to have a hybrid sibling. Whatever form they ultimately take, Ford is betting heavily on SUVs. The company thinks they are what Baby Boomers and Millenials want and expects the segment will continue to grow. It's important to note: this will be a diversified strategy.
