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!

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue
Fri, 22 Feb 2013It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
Ford EcoBoost smashes records at Daytona
Thu, 10 Oct 2013Some mighty machines have lapped the banks of the Daytona International Speedway over the years: thunderous V8-powered stock cars, Le Mans-conquering Group C prototypes, open-wheel Champ Cars, knee-dragging superbikes... heck, the infield lake has even hosted powerboat racing. But this - this is the fastest car ever to lap the legendary raceway.
What you're looking at is the new Daytona Prototype being prepared by Riley Technologies for the new United SportsCar Championship. The car, released just last week, is powered by a new 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 from Ford's EcoBoost family, and just obliterated the top speed at the track with a blistering 222.971 miles per hour through the traps.
That's enough to annihilate the previous record that was set, also under Ford power, by Bill Elliott while placing his Thunderbird on pole for the 1987 Daytona 500 that he would go on to win. His 210.364 mph record had stood for 26 years until now.
Recharge Wrap-up: BMW tests AdBlue pumps, Drivr is a Tesla taxi service
Thu, Jan 22 2015BMW is testing AdBlue pumps in Germany. AdBlue fluid is used to remove NOx from diesel exhaust, and it is stored in its own tank within the vehicle. Filling AdBlue is easy enough for drivers to do it themselves, and with the proliferation of diesel vehicles in Europe, a pump filling system could make more sense than using the current hand-held containers. BMW is testing AdBlue pumps at three fueling stations in Munich and Berlin to help develop further AdBlue dispenser technology. Read more at Green Car Congress. Drivr Green Personal Transportation is a Tesla taxi service in Cincinnati. Two former employees of Tesla Motors founded the startup, which bills itself alongside ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. Customers book a ride online, and are picked up by a Tesla Model S. The ride costs $2.50 per mile with a $15 minimum. Drivr currently operates three cars with seven drivers, with plans to lease another 10 Teslas and employ up to 30 drivers. The service will also be expanding to Denver soon, according to the website. Learn more at the Drivr website, or read more at Clean Technica. Ford is opening a research and development facility in Silicon Valley. The Ford Research & Innovation Center, which will be located less than three miles from Tesla Motors headquarters in Palo Alto, California, is expected to be one of the automotive industry's largest R&D facilities. "We're driving to be both a product and a mobility company, and ultimately to change the way the world moves," says Ford CEO Mark Fields. Read more at Automotive News. Law firms advising Fisker Automotive have been denied a $2.50-million fee enhancement in the car company's bankruptcy. Brown Rudnick LLP and Saul Ewing LLP were denied the extra fees, as a Delaware bankruptcy judge ruled there is "no evidence" that the firms provided anything more than what they originally expected. In denying the fee enhancement, the judge cited a "very high bar" for such awards. Read more at Law360.
