1988 Ford Mustang Gt Convertible 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Year:1988
Mileage:186885
Location:
San Jose, California, United States
|
I bought this 1988 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 convertible brand new (it had 6 miles on it) in August 1988 from a Ford dealership in Gilroy, CA. I am the original and only owner. The front seats have been reupholstered to match original and the back seat has been refurbished. Only “jewelry” condition issues exist: needs new roof (no longer water proof), driver side sun visor, and rear FORD emblem. There are two very minor dents on driver side (pop-out kind) and ashtray holder needs to be replaced/repaired. Overall, its condition is near-mint/excellent. The carpets are like new and there are no cracks in the dashboard or anywhere else. From age, the window moldings are getting very brittle. The exhaust system has been chromed.
The car runs better than great and sounds awesome. Of the 186k on the car, only 22k are on brand new engine. I think the old one blew a head gasket...don’t know for sure. It was too inconvenient at the time to deal with it so I just bought a new engine. I will give you the original engine as a bonus (along with the storage case the new one came in). At 26 years of age, the car is starting to burn a little oil J. I’ve only used premium gasoline since I bought him. Below is the history sheet I’ve kept on "Henry" since day one. His name is Henry because during the week he was Professor Henry Jones but on the weekend he turned into Indiana! I LOVE this car but must sell it to help with my dad's healthcare...he's a Korean War Veteran with Alzheimer's.
Thank you for your interest. |

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
The Jitterbugs somersaulted at the 1986 Chicago Auto Show for the Chevy Nova
Tue, Dec 30 2014Judging by the vintage videos that the Chicago Auto Show has been uploading, if you wanted to check out the latest vehicles and watch some dancers in the same place in the late '80s and early '90s, then the Windy City event was definitely the place to be. We've already seen the Footlockers pitching the Cavalier in '88 and a troupe of women singing about the Geo brand in '91. Apparently, the trend went back even further, though. Just take a look at this group called the Jitterbugs selling some badge-engineered products from Chevrolet at the 1986 show. Flanked by the Chevy Nova and Spectrum, these guys managed to do a few pretty impressive jumps and somersaults but mixed them with some rather uninspired spins, as well. Also, wait for 1:24 into the clip to see the least enthusiastic backup dancers that the world has ever known. The Jitterbugs are even further proof that Chevy's habit of mixing dancing and its vehicles goes back even further than the Volt.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
