This 81 has a 5.0 V8 out of a 95 Mustang GT. It has however been changed to a carbinstead of fuel injection. The motor has around 80,000 miles on it and before it was installed all of the gaskets were changed. It does not leak or smoke that I can see. It has an Edelbrock intake with a Holley 4 bbl carb. BBK ceramic headers attached to a Streetflow Dual exhaust. It has a rebuilt C4 trans with a shift kit rebuilt in 2012. The rear end is a 7.5" with 3:08 gears non posi. It has been lowered in all 4 corners with 2in Ibach lowering springs and all new shocks. It also has all new front bearings, rear axel seals, And complete brakes. Rotors, drums, shoes, pads. in addition to new alignment, front and rear sway bar, power steering, ignition system, rack and pinion, and u joints. I am probably forgetting something but I have a sheet with what has been done, how much and some dates. Also a folder full of receipts.

The body is in great shape. It does have some hail damage and a dent in the passenger fender among other bumps and scratches. It has a factory sunroof that is removable. I also have the storage case for the sunroof. The windows are tinted. The back part of the roof was a vinyl top but we pulled it off cause it was sun cracked and sanded and painted. The spoiler is from an 89-90 Firebird and painted the same as the roof. The wheels are from a mustang and have BFG tires on them.

The interior is in good shape. The dash has some cracks and a hole in the middle from someone putting a speaker in it. I have a black dash mat over it. The drivers seat has some wear and cracks in the bottom corner where you get in and out. Other than that the seats are in great shape. The carpet is in great shape as well. The headliner is missing the material. The cardboard that is glues too is there and in good shape.

The car runs and drives smooth and is quick. The title is clean and clear.

2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility is ready to tackle Chicago's mean streets

Wed, Feb 11 2015

As is the way of things, when a civilian vehicle gets a significant update, it's only a matter of time before its police counterpart gets similar upgrades. In the case of the Ford Police Interceptor Utility, it's debuting with the same visual updates as the Explorer on which it's based, at this week's 2015 Chicago Auto Show. Like the civilian-market Explorer, the PI Utility is available with a standard 3.7-liter V6 that pumps out 304 horsepower and 279 pound-feet of torque. The higher-caliber option is the tried and true 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, complete with 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. The standard Explorer's optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, meanwhile, won't be offered to the boys in blue. Regardless of engine, the Utility enjoys standard all-wheel-drive, as well as a six-speed automatic transmission. The tranny's default setting is primarily for fuel sipping, although if it detects more aggressive inputs – based on brake line pressure, deceleration and lateral acceleration rates – it switches over to Pursuit Mode, offering officers snappier upshifts and more aggressive downshifts. The PI Utility's other cool, new system is called Surveillance Mode. To protect officers from sneak attacks, Surveillance Mode warns them when someone approaches the rear the car, raising all four windows and locking the doors. While Ford says the system has "intermittent fault filter technology" to prevent "erroneous changes in sensor signals," we're betting it won't be long before veteran officers uncover some way to prank rookies with the tech. Beyond these new systems, this is the same Utility that officers know and love, only with a significant facelift reminiscent of what's found on the civilian model, which debuted at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The new grille has a positive impact on cooling performance, Ford claims, while a new headlight setup accommodates the high-beam-based "wig-wag" lights. The new look has also allowed Ford to offer police departments additional customized lighting options, for that special touch. Inside, a new steering wheel and center console should make officers' lives easier, as will the new (and requested) liftgate release button, found in the overhead console. Check out the first images of the new Police Interceptor Utility (and, sporty drivers, memorize that headlight pattern) up above. Be sure to check back for additional live images once we check out Ford's latest cop car, at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show.

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.

Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...
