  Car is in good condition overall.  Paint is glossy but has a few scratches and sags.  Glass and convertible soft top are good.  Car is solid and runs well.  312 cubic inch y-block with four-barrel carburetor produces 255 hp.  Three speed manual transmission shifts properly and electric overdrive unit functions as it should. First gear is not synchronized.  The car must be brought to a complete stop before shifting into first.  This is not a problem driving the car, as the engine is a torque monster an accelerates from idle in second gear very smoothly.  Car is equipped with Coker Classic wide-whitewall radials ($615.36, May '05).  Less than 1,000 miles on them and no sign of dry rot.  15" chrome wire wheels with Thunderbird lettering and logo on spinners (we can't find that receipt, but believe the purchase price for four wheels was around $1,200).  Bias-ply tires and factory steel wheels and full wheel covers included in sale.  Trim plate on firewall shows: 40A E XA 18EL1824
  Parts replaced or repaired since 2001 purchase, in addition to remedial body work;
water pump, thermostat, battery, cleaned fuel tank, wiring harness (main dash, across front, heater blower), heater temperature valve, blower motor, transmission overhaul (gasket set, pinion seal, transmission bearings and oil seals), clutch disk and pressure plate, radiator and radiator cradle, correct mechanical fuel pump, front springs and shocks, a-frame bushings, and much more.  All receipts since 1994 included, plus factory shop manual and various catalogs.
  Car is well sorted out, has been well cared for, and has had serious mechanical and cosmetic upgrades over the past 12 years while accumulating less than 1,500 additional  miles. 50,009.2 currently showing on odometer.  We'll be waking her from her winter nap soon and adding a few more miles.  We drive the car only enough to keep everything working properly and to attend a few very local shows.
  We have over $38,000 in the car to date.  Reserve is considerably lower.

Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.

2014 Ford Mustang GT

Fri, 17 May 2013

I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.

Ford going bonkers at SEMA with 57 showcars

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Ford always shows up in force at the SEMA Show, but this year's tally of 57 custom-tuned cars, trucks and vans is more than we can ever recall the Blue Oval bringing. Ford will introduce 28 of its project vehicles in its "Dreamcase" ahead of next month's show. The first batch of eight you'll find here with the remaining vehicles trickling into public view over the next couple of weeks.
This first group of cars includes a Fiesta, four Fiesta ST hatchbacks and a trio of Mustang show cars styled and tuned to varying degrees all by different aftermarket companies. Tanner Foust, Nitto Tire, 3dCarbon and Ice Nine Group are some of the more familiar names affixed to these cars. Our favorite so far is the Hollywood Hot Rods Mustang convertible (shown above) with its removable aluminum top and methanol-injected, 750-horsepower 5.0-liter V8.
Scroll down for all the details on these Fiestas and Mustangs, and stay tuned for more info on Ford's SEMA line, which will include custom versions of the Focus ST, Fusion, Transit Connect, F-150 and Super Duty.
