This car has had a lot of work done to it. When I bought the car it suffered the fate of most of the third gen SHO. It had spun the cam gear and bent the valves. When I purchased it I welded the cams and had the entire top end rebuilt. It has all new valves, valve guides, valves seals, headgaskets, headbolts, intake gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, valve cover gaskets, thermostat, oil pressure sending unit and serpentine belt. Within the last six months I have replaced all four tires, brakes front and back, the mass airflow sensor and the idle air control valve. I have had the cats hollowed out so the check engine light is on. I do have six extra coils for the car. The ones that are on it have been shorting out. I have been replacing them as they short. It has aftermarket 17" wheels. It has the original 5 disk cd changer. The person I bought it from had wedged cds inside and I never used it so I don't know if it works. The exterior is average for this old of a car. There are quite a few small scratches. There are a few spots of clear coat peeling and a few door dings. The interior is fairly nice the only issues are a crack in the driver seat and a cut in the passenger rear seat. The interior is all leather. There are some stains on the carpet that I never tried to get out. It has a working sunroof. The dashpad is also pulling up like all of the taurus dashes did. It is not perfect but it is not completely destroyed either. I have over $3500 in rebuilding the motor and putting brakes and tires on this car. It is rare to find one running. If you have any questions please message me. It is for sale locally also. If you are near Topeka, KS we can arrange a time for you to look at it. Buyer will have to arrange for shipping. It drives fine but will try to stall as the coils short. I just don't have the time to replace them.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible shown on Twitter [UPDATE w/video]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

It hasn't yet been 12 hours since the hotly anticipated 2015 Ford Mustang has been let out into public view. After a series of evocative leaks over the course of the last days, we brought you a full deep dive of the sixth-generation pony car at the dawning of today. And yet, here we are rushing to bring you news of a new Mustang variant, already.
Be it part of a plan to keep the Mustang fervor at full boil, or a misunderstood email somewhere in the chain of command, Ford UK has unceremoniously tweeted a picture of the 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible. For a newly global Mustang, getting our first look at the droptop from the convertible-crazy British does make some amount of sense.
As for details, well, you're looking at them. Brandon Turkus reported yesterday that the Mustang 'vert would make use of a fully electric convertible mechanism, and that it would be of fabric construction rather than some kind of retractable hardtop. We see here that the fabric part is clearly true, and it does look as though Ford may still be employing the same kind of manually attached tonneau cover that exists right now. Of course, our view from this angle isn't great, and the particulars are still up in the air.

Want a V8 on the cheap? Buy a work truck

Thu, Aug 3 2017

In case you didn't notice, V8 cars have gotten pretty expensive. If you want a modern muscle car like the Dodge Challenger R/T, Ford Mustang GT, or Chevy Camaro SS, you'll need between $34,000 and $38,000 for a stripped out example of one. The cheapest of those is the Challenger, and the priciest is the Camaro. These are also the cheapest V8 cars the companies offer. But if you absolutely have to have a V8 for less, there is an option, work trucks. As it turns out, all of the Big Three offer their most basic work trucks with V8s. And because they're so basic, they're pretty affordable, especially when sticking with the standard two-wheel drive. A Ram 1500 Tradesman with a V8 can be had for as little as $29,840, which is a little more than $4,000 less than a Challenger R/T. For a bit more at $30,275, you can have a Chevy Silverado W/T, almost $8,000 less than a Camaro SS. The most expensive is the V8 Ford F-150 starts at a starting price of $30,670, which is a bit over $5,000 less than the Mustang. Of course you'll be in an ultra bare bones vehicle with few comforts, and the price will go up if you add stuff, but we're bargain hunting here, and sacrifices are sometimes necessary. Besides, what you lose in comfort, you gain in loads of cargo space and towing (try to look at the bright side). Also, as a side note, all three trucks are available with optional electronic locking rear differentials. At the discounted price of these trucks, you still get a heaping helping of power. The most potent of the trio is the Ram 1500 Tradesman with 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque generated by a 5.7-liter V8. Compared with the Challenger R/T, the Ram is up by 20 horsepower and they're tied for torque. The value proposition is even more stark between the two vehicles when looking at the price per horsepower. Each pony in the Ram costs $75.54, while the Challenger charges you $90.91. The Challenger is also more expensive per horsepower than its close competitors. The F-150's 5.0-liter V8 is just barely behind the Ram with 395 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. That's still more power than the Challenger, and it matches the torque of the 2017 Mustang GT. On the down side, it still would be down 20 horsepower on that same 2017 Mustang, and it's behind by 60 horsepower and 20 pound-feet on the new 2018 Mustang GT. The F-150 also just edges out the Mustang in the dollar per horsepower measure.
