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!

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.

Ford Explorer, Expedition next to go aluminum?

Sun, 13 Apr 2014

Ford made some serious waves when it unveiled the latest F-150. Instead of making its bodywork out of steel, like just about every other truck on the market, Ford went with aluminum. And you can bet the F-150 won't be the last Ford model to go with the lightweight alloy construction, either.
Our compatriots at Edmunds report that Dearborn is considering replacing two of its most popular SUVs with aluminum versions. One candidate is the Expedition, which would make sense considering that the current model (like the two preceding generations and the fullsize Bronco before it) is based on the F-150's underpinnings. Another is the Explorer, which was traditionally based on the Ranger pickup but went with a car-like unibody chassis in its current iteration. If the Explorer does go the way of aluminum, don't expect it to be a part of its very next update, which is likely due too soon for such major changes.
It would stand to reason that, if the Expedition were to go aluminum, so would the next-generation Lincoln Navigator. Ditto the MKT together with the Explorer. But those aren't likely to be the only models in contention for aluminum construction. Like any other automaker, Ford is under pressure to steadily reduce its carbon emissions and improve its fuel economy figures, prompting it to look at a whole range of measures - including more efficient engines, lower rolling-resistance tires, active aerodynamics and lightweight construction. Expect aluminum to play a big part in that equation moving forward.

Ford exec reveals new F-150 Raptor packs 450 horsepower

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Between the new GT supercar, Shelby GT350R muscle car and F-150 Raptor off-roader, Ford had quite the array of performance machinery on display at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month. One thing it didn't reveal about any of the three, however, is how much power they'd pack, but a senior executive at the Blue Oval automaker has reportedly let the cat out of the bag when it comes to the Raptor. During a televised interview during the Rolex 24 at Daytona this past weekend, Ford's product development chief Raj Nair is said to have revealed that the new F-150 Raptor will offer 450 horsepower. That's pretty impressive from a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6, and would put the new Raptor out ahead of the 411 hp produced by the 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 in the previous SVT Raptor. That doesn't give us the whole picture, though, because in a vehicle this big especially, torque will play a huge factor. The outgoing Raptor offered 424 pound-feet of twist, and the existing 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine is already producing 420 lb-ft – so it seems fairly safe to assume the new Raptor will eclipse those figures as well, but we'll have to wait for official word to find out for sure.
