Okay, for starters, this is a collector's car. It has 40,525 original
miles. The car, up until February 2013 (when I got it as a birthday
present), was 100% stock. It is about as close to "mint condition" as
you can get.
When I got the car in Feb, the first thing I did was add a pretty decent sound-system. I can't give you all the specs, but the head unit was replaced with a top-of-the-line Alpine (bluetooth, mp3, usb, phone, etc) and the speakers in the doors and back seat were replaced. A custom box and 10" (might be a 12") sub & amp were installed in the trunk. Interestingly enough, the geniuses at Best Buy (who had a blank check from me) forgot to put dash speakers in, so the dash speakers are currently disconnected. Anyway, the system sounds great. I can provide receipts for the $1700 I spent at Best Buy. Then, a few months ago, I dropped off the car at a local specialty performance shop for a tune up, and they ended up replacing the radiator with a large electric 3-core version (I think I remember this correctly), and then I asked them to move on and replace the exhaust, so they added shorty headers, high flow catalytic converter H-pipe, and Flowmaster 2-chamber mufflers. It sounds great. They also added a host of other simple "bolt-ons", like K&N filter & mass air, etc etc, but I don't remember all of this off the top of my head. The total cost was $4200. They didn't fix the brakes. I ordered a rear disc brake conversion kit, but got tired of waiting after 5 weeks and canceled that part. I would seriously recommend upgrading the brakes on the car when you get it. They work no problem, but just aren't what I would prefer. A total of 1500 Limited Edition white LX convertibles were manufactured in 1993. I can assure you that there are no more than 1499 of them in existence today, since the one i bought when I was 16 (1996) was stolen and chopped to pieces. Saddest day of my life. This car is 1 of 1056 automatics, and it is in better condition than the car I had in the '90s. But it does have a few issues that have developed since I got it: 1) the back driver's side slim window does not go up or down automatically. It can be moved up and down, and the motor still works, but I think that it jumped off track and needs to be corrected. I haven't had the time to deal with it, but again, the motor sounds to be working correctly. 2) the passenger's side electronics don't work that well. For example, you can use the switch on the driver's side door to operate the passenger windows, but you cannot operate the passenger window from the passenger seat. Again, the windows on the passenger side go up and down just fine, but not with the buttons on the passenger side. 3) the plastic molding around the driver's side interior door handle is somehow missing half of it. This is probably a few bucks to repair, but you should know about it. 4) the ash tray cover in the center console doesn't close or stay closed. Pretty standard for this car, but again, want you to know. 5) I rubbed up against the front-left bumper with my ATV and left a little rubber scuffing on the bumper. I buffed out most of it, but need a professional to get it back to normal. It's not broken at all, but could use a bit of touching up from someone that knows what they're doing. Chances are good that by the time you come by to see the car, this will be fixed, but it's a SLIGHT mark at the present moment. Otherwise, the car starts, runs, shifts, etc etc etc in near perfect condition. The top goes up and down automatically without incident, doesn't leak, isn't cracked or falling apart. Everything on this car other than stated above is original, and looks that way too. The car looks and runs like a vehicle with 40,xxx miles on it. It's really amazing to drive...it's such a little car (it was much bigger when I was 16), and it's so sporty. I get compliments on it every time I leave the driveway, and it's really something different on the road today. I'm not excited to sell it. My kids love it and I'll miss the top-down excitement this spring. But, I'm traveling quite a bit now on business out of the country and it might as well go to a new home where someone can enjoy it more than I am at the moment. Thanks for reading and safe travels! |

Road & Track samples rare 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R
Sat, Jun 6 2015The modern performance variant of the Ford Mustang enjoys a long, illustrious history. While well-known examples like the Boss 302, Shelby GT350, and Shelby GT500 get all the attention, the modern versions of these cars may not have been possible had it not been for the three generations of the Cobra R, sold in 1993, 1995, and 2000. Limited to just 250 examples, the second-generation model wasn't as rare as the Fox-body Cobra R that preceded it, but they were still pricey and difficult to acquire. Customers were required to hold a competition license in order to take delivery, and prices were roughly equivalent to $59,000 in today's money. As Road & Track tells it, neither of those facts were a handicap – Ford sold its entire roster of 1995 Cobra Rs in just five days. RT's Jack Baruth managed to score a drive in an extremely low-mileage example of this now-vintage track star. He delivers an interesting look into the way a performance car from two decades ago behaves in today's world, and finds that despite its age, the 1995 Cobra R is still "a true sweetheart." Check out the full feature over at Road & Track. Related Video:
Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.
2017 will be the year the connected car becomes a reality
Fri, Jan 13 20172016 was full of talk of autonomy, but little action beyond crazy, futuristic concept cars and announcement after announcement from automakers. If this year's CES is any indication, 2017 is going to focused on connectivity. More than that, CES showed that traditional barriers between automakers are breaking down in favor of universal and open source technology standards that will benefit both consumers and developers. CES, traditionally a showcase for the latest and greatest technology and gadgets like flat-screen refrigerators or televisions that broadcast in the fifth dimension, has become so intwined with the auto industry that we at Autoblog cover it like any other auto show. At every CES event I attended and nearly every booth I went to, there was some talk, display, or demonstration of how cars will connect to your phone and your home, and eventually each other. It seems we're heading toward the tech singularity where all devices work under one cohesive ecosystem – the Internet of Things, if you like. The difference between autonomy and connectivity is how real the latter feels because so much of the connected tech on display at CES is either here already or will be here by the end of the year. There were dozens of demos, both big and small, that allowed us to test and explore what's on the horizon. Bridging the gap between home and car, Ford is integrating the Amazon Alexa personal assistant straight into its vehicles. That means you'll be able to talk to Alexa in your car just like you would through an Echo or Dot at home. It also means you can shop on Amazon by voice while you're driving (since that wasn't convenient enough already). Samsung is developing smartwatch applications for Ford, BMW, and others. Toyota is adopting Ford's SmartDeviceLink smartphone connectivity system for its vehicles. That means developers can have one app that works across multiple infotainment systems. The Linux Foundation is developing an open-source operating system that will be free to use, making it easier for developers to connect smartphones and apps across multiple manufacturers' systems. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is available for download right now. Major automakers like Toyota and Daimler (who usually are set on competing with one another) are partnering to further the development of the project. Bosch, Hyundai, and Chrysler showed connected car concepts at CES that preview the future of automobiles.
