The restoration was completed a few years back with much attention paid to driver comfort, the interior alone has had over 5k worth of upgrades done to it from car toys. The seats are custom full power lincoln ls seats covered in two tone leather, the stereo/cd player has multiple custom mounted speakers including two amps and two 8'' subs custom mounted behind the rear seats. The custom work to panels are really nice and blend in with the theme, even the door panels where custom built to like the rear quarter panels. Along with the stereo it has a custom built console that mounts the buttons for the new power windows and locks along with afrermarket gauges. The steering column is a rare option with vacuum assist which is worth over 1k itself. To top off the comfort the car has AC added to keep you cool in the hot summers. Driving this machine is a full roller late model 5.0 mustang engine & trans. The engine has a nice camshaft upgrade that gives it that old school idle. Along with the camshaft upgrade a Edelebrock intake and 4 barrel carb was added and finished out with Edelbrocks polished alm. valve covers & air cleaner that was detailed to match the engine color. The cooling system has been upgraded big time with a monster 4 core radiator and two electric fans. The exhaust consists of long tube headers and full duals with mini glass pack mufflers that make it sound awesome. The rear has been recently upgraded to a big ford 9'' which required some modifications but fits nicely. The suspension has been gone through and worn bushings replaced and a front disc brake conversion was installed as well. all The body is amazing with original rust free floors and straight body panels. The paint is fords calypso coral red/orange color that really pops in the sunlight. The paint and body where done a few years back when full resto was performed and has a few chips and minor scratches that are expected from a true driver car but very hard to see unless you get right up on the truck. The bed has been coated with liner and the gas filler has been moved to inside panel along with a really cool old school Coke cooler from the 60's that houses the rear mount battery. The wheels are very rare Edelbrock chrome 16'' with low profile tires that have excellent tread. The wheels alone sell for 2-3k if you can find them and where used on the Eleanor mustangs. All the rubber seals have been replaced throughout the truck and the chrome is in nice shape -bright and shiny. All in All this a great looking cruiser with creature comforts of newer cars that sounds like an old school muscle car - a true Resto-Moded ride! please feel free to email me for more info or to setup a time to check it out.

2015 Ford Transit

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

As a segment, fullsize vans are stealth-fighter invisible on most consumers' radar. Visit a dealership for any of the four brands that offer them and you'll be lucky to find even one on display. These are commercial vehicles primarily, even more so than pickup trucks. Vans are the shuttles for plumbers, caterers, carpenters, concrete layers, masons, electricians, florists and flooring, and a huge part of this country's productivity is accomplished using them. At the moment, Ford is the 800-pound gorilla in that room - fully 41 percent of commercial vehicles wear a Blue Oval. So when Ford announced three years ago it would be ditching its commercial bread-and-butter E-Series, it meant the Transit that would be replacing the Econoline had huge, 53-year-old shoes to fill.
We were still a bit nostalgic about Econoline vans going away until going directly from the Transit first drive in Kansas City to an E-350 airport shuttle. Climb up through the Econoline's tiny double doors and bang your head on the opening, crouch all the way to your seat then enjoy a loud, rattle-prone, creaky, harsh ride on beam-hard seats while struggling to see out the low windows. This is an experience nearly every traveler has had. By comparison, the Transits we'd just spent two days with were every bit of the four decades better they needed to be. It cannot be understated just how much better the Transit is in every single way. The load floor is barely more than knee high. There's a huge side door, and hitting your head on a door opening is nearly impossible. Stand up all the way if you're under six-foot, six-inches - no more half-hunching down the aisle. There are windows actually designed to be looked out of. The ride is buttery smooth, no booming vibration from un-restrained metal panels and no squeaks. Conversations can be held at normal levels rather than yelling over the roar of an ancient V8. The seats are comfortable. The AC is cold. There are cupholders.
Enough anecdote-laying, what's in a Transit? We're talking about a very fullsized unibody van that's enjoyed a 49-year history in Ye Olde Europe. This latest iteration is part of the "One Ford" initiative, so it was designed as a global offering from the get-go, eschewing the body-on-frame construction the E-Series has used since 1975. Instead, the Transit integrates a rigid ladder frame into an overall frame construction made of high-strength cold-rolled and boron steel. The suspension is a simple but well-tuned Macpherson strut array up front with a rear solid axle and leaf springs.

Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.

Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.
