This auction is for 1984 Ford Mustang SVO. This car is equipped with the 2.3 Turbocharged 4 Cylinder, 5 Speed Manual Trans, factory 4 wheel disc brakes, factory 16 inch wheels, Leather, Sunroof and more. This is a very original SVO which had the same owner since 1992. The car does run and drive but has been sitting since the year 2000 so it will need some work to be considered a daily driver. I bought the car with the intention of restoring it but haven't had the time to devote to it. Here's some more detailed information. The car did not pass the strict California emissions test therefore the car cannot be sold to a resident of the state of California, NO EXCEPTIONS!. BIDDING IS OPEN ONLY TO NON-CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.
Mechanical: As stated the car does run and drive. I have driven the car on a handfull of occassions and here is what I've observed. The engine starts easily and runs well. There is no smoking, knocking, overheating or odd noises. The car will occassionally hesitate on acceleration. I don't know if this is an issue with the turbo or something else. Turbo does kick in and work. The 5 speed trans will sometimes grind going into 2nd gear. If you don't shift too quickly it works fine. It will grind if you try to downshift into 2nd at a high speed. Transmission and clutch work fine other than the 2nd gear issue. Cooling fan doesn't seem to work. I never let the temp go higher than half way but the fan didn't come on at that point. Front end will need some attention. Noisy going over bumps. Brakes work fine. The tires look good but I'm sure they are quite old.
Exterior: The body and paint look good. There are no dents or rust on the body. The paint on the front bumper is scraped. The winshield has a large crack and will need to be replaced.
Interior: Interior is pretty nice for the age. Seats are good shape with no tears. Dash is solid with no cracks. The car has a sunroof which leaks and has damaged the front section of the headliner. Overall a nice interior.
Overall this is a great car to fix up and return to its former glory or perhaps drop a V8 in it.
Terms: As stated above because the vehicle did not pass the California emmisions inspection buyers must be in a state other than California. The vehicle will need to be towed or trailered from its current location in San Fancisco , CA. A nonrefundable deposit of $500 is due via Paypal within 24 hours of the auctions end. The balance is due within 7 days and the car must be picked up within 10 days.

1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake
Thu, 08 May 2014Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.
Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Just 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...
