Up for bidding is my pride and joy, a rare 1998 Chrome Yellow Cobra. The only reason for selling is to purchase a new Mustang. This car started out as a bone stock Cobra upon my purchasing it, and it was tastefully modified with parts from the company I work for, Latemodelrestoration.com We used the car for various instructional videos on modifying and restoring this platform. It is also featured on the front of our latest catalog. I have enjoyed the car, but it is time to move on to the next project. Who ever wins the auction for this car will be purchasing a car that has become common place on Latemodel Restoration advertisements and videos on our Youtube Channel and it receives positive attention everywhere it goes. It is mechanically 100% and I would trust it to take me anywhere. When I set out to make this car my own, the modifications we're done to be subtle, yet update the car at the same time. Cosmetically the car received chrome 18x9 and 18x10 Saleen Style wheels, with brand new Nitto 555 tires. The tires have less than 300 miles on them. No curb rash of any kind. The suspension was refreshed with new bushings, Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs, Tokico HP shocks and struts, and J&M Caster Camber Plates. The handling and ride and drive is excellent and solid as a rock. It's one of the best riding Mustangs I have ever driven. As far as drivetrain goes, I kept it simple with a K&N air filter, BBK offroad H pipe, and Flowmaster American Thunder Catback. The car sounds great and will also come with the stock catted H pipe if you live where emission testing is done. It still has its factory 3.27 gears so its great on the highway and still gets great gas mileage. All fluids are fresh and no leaks of any kind. The transmission is grind free and solid with a MGW short throw shifter. The factory shifter will be included as well. Cosmetically, it is a wreck free, rust free Texas car. The paint is nice with no dents or dings of any kind. All weatherstripping is still nice and soft as well. The interior is bone stock and in excellent shape. It still has that leather smell and has not been smoked in. The stock mach 460 stereo is still there and sounds great. The CD player and tape deck still function as they should. The car truly needs nothing and if you are looking for a daily driver, or car to take to the car shows, it will perform well for you. I have set the reserve respectfully and would like the car to go to a good home where it will be enjoyed. With cold AC, and hot heat, it is ready to go. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Ebay will not allow me to post video links directly on here, so shoot me an email, and I'll be more than happy to email the videos of the car to you, or you can go to youtube and search for "Karson's Cobra", and the video's will come up for you. Good luck and Happy Bidding! -Karson

XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost to hit 45 mpg for $16,445*

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

When Ford first announced its plan to put the 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2014 Fiesta, it promised hybrid-like fuel economy without a hybrid-like premium. We're still waiting for official specs on this engine, but thanks to the EPA's fueleconomy.gov website and Ford's retail site, we now know what customers can expect in terms of both fuel economy and price.
All along, Ford has said that it expects the 1.0-liter EcoBoost to get more than 40 miles per gallon on the highway, and now the EPA backs this up with official ratings of 32 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. These numbers are an increase of two mpg city and four mpg hwy compared to the current fuel-sipping Fiesta (the 1.6 SFE), and it also beats other three-cylinder cars for highway mileage like the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (44 mpg highway) and 2014 Smart Fortwo (38 mpg highway); the Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost is lower than both three-pot rivals, though, in city fuel economy with the Mitsubishi getting 37 mpg city and the Smart rated at 34 mpg city. This model handily beats high-volume small cars like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Chevy Spark in both city and highway numbers.
As for pricing, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered on both the sedan and hatchback as a $995 option called the SE Manual EcoBoost package, which is aptly named since it's only offered on SE trim-level Fiestas equipped with a manual transmission. Along with the engine, the package also comes with 15-inch steel wheels, regenerative brakes and a decklid spoiler on the sedan. This means the four-door Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost will start at $16,445*, or $17,045* for the hatchback (*not including $795 for destination).
