Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, Bright Canyon Red; 2.3L EFI Turbo I-4 Engine; Handling Suspension; 15x7 Cast Aluminum Wheels, 225 60 Performance tires; 5-speed manual O/D transmission; Traction–Loc axle; Air Conditioning; Lux Interior w/ Artic sports seats; power windows; premium sound system (Window sticker available)

Additional Equipment: Global West caster/camber adjusters. Factory-installed mounts are non-adjustable, usually 0°-1° caster, and 0° camber, resulting in “wander” at speed, and “plow” while cornering. The adjusters allow for more positive caster, and negative camber, which greatly improves handling. Fan has manual override switch, to prevent overheating or A/C problem in summer, bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Recent Maintenance:

Engine rear main oil seal, clutch release bearing, rear transmission seal; cable “dumbbell” clutch linkage connector; timing belt (Gatorback) and tensioner; MSD 8.5 plug wires and boots; all engine and related hoses; reman rack & pinion 1.5 ratio steering; 24FX battery w/960 CA and stainless hold-down (original style battery no longer available); Front wheel bearings and seals

Past Maintenance:

New A/C compressor, dryer, custom hose with fixed orifice tube; ignition TFI module, stator, and coil; new water pump; both universal joints; rear axles, bearings and seals (vehicle has C-clip axles, which must be replaced with new bearings); brake master cylinder, calipers and rear cylinders, all flexible lines.

I am the original owner, and have done all of the maintenance and repair myself, with the exception of the A/C vacuum test and initial charge, and the wheel alignment.

Interior:

Front seats are like new - have always been covered with terry cloth covers. All upholstery and plastic trim are perfect, with the exception of the plastic door armrest supports, which are broken. I’ve seen the repair done on TV car repair shows - they used fiberglass cloth and resin over a screen form to fix the armrests.

Exterior:

Never hit; no repairs; no rust; garaged, not left in sun.

Ford Mustang GT350 seen and heard in motion for the first time

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

We just recently saw our first spy shots of the next-gen hi-po Ford Mustang slated to replace the Shelby GT500, but now we're getting our first look - and listen - of prototypes captured on video. Mustang6g.com has the video (along with some different spy shots), which show that, if nothing else, SVT knows how to tune an exhaust system. The :50 mark is a good example of this, but fast-forward to around 2:00 where the driver revs the engine and really gets on the throttle hard taking off from a stop.
There's still no definitive evidence that the next-gen SVT Mustang - said to be called GT350 - will be naturally aspirated, but it sounds just as menacing as the current Shelby GT500. While the video posted below exhibits the sort of quality that is to be expected from someone driving while trying to film someone who is attempting to elude being filmed, it's still exciting to see and hear this new Mustang in motion.

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.

2015 Ford Mustang invades SEMA, led by King Cobra

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Ford showcased more than a dozen customized 2015 Mustangs at its sprawling 20,000-square foot display this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center as the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary celebration continued at the SEMA Show.
While Mustangs are always a hot commodity at SEMA, the new generation brought increased attention from the aftermarket, as builders like Galpin Auto Sports, Richard Petty's Garage and Vaughn Gittin Jr. offered their takes on the new 'Stang.
The extensive display included a range of Mustangs from mild to wild, with everything from a 600-plus horsepower King Cobra pictured at the top, to paint-and-wheel packages. The new regal Cobra, which we spied early in our SEMA adventure this year, may not be the replacement for the Cobra Jet as we speculated, but it does seem to point the way forward for the next iteration of a supreme Ford dragster. Fat drag slicks out back make it's reason for being abundantly clear, and for tells us that modded car is good for a 10.97-second quarter-mile run.
