Diamond in the rough.  Just over 69K original miles.  Engine runs great.  Everything worked the last time that the car was driven except for the adjustable ride option.  I got the car from the father of the original owner about 5 years after the owned passed away.  It was sitting in the weather full of junk on 4 flat tires and would not run.  Over the next couple of years the car received a new gas tank, fuel pump, radiator, cooling fan, brakes, complete exhaust system, belts and hoses, front and rear transmission seals and rear main seal, plugs and wires, rebuilt distributor...and the list goes on and on. Turbo works great and will go to 15lbs boost with no problem.   Tires are like new Goodyears.  Driver's seat has been reupholstered and the head liner replaced.  Body is straight with no dents and no rust. Paint has some scratches on the trunk lid, most everything else should buff out OK. Wheels are the original 16" TC wheels.  Car has been garaged since 2009 with transmission problems.  I am on a fixed income and can not afford to continue the restoration on this great vehicle.  Problem with the transmission is that it will not go into drive.  Takes reverse just fine.  It never slipped or hesitated just quit taking drive...matter of fact the shift was so positive at full throttle it would pretty much knock the fillings in your teeth loose.  Talked to a transmission shop and their prognosis was that it is probably seals since the car sat up for so long before I got it...problem being they won't touch it without doing a complete rebuild because they have to warranty the work.  This car was a real kick to drive and I hate to see it go...but better someone get it that will do something with it than see it rot in the garage.  Car must be picked up with a trailer or dolly as it is not driveable.  Transmission will not go into drive.

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

FL man fatally shot after urging driver not to do donuts in a Mustang

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Bradley Holt (pictured), the older half-brother of University of South Florida freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers, was killed in a random act of violence last week.
The 24-year-old Holt was throwing a football around with local kids in Allapattah, a neighborhood in Miami, when a yellow Mustang showed up and started doing donuts in the street. Holt, worried about kids playing in front his apartment complex, walked over to the driver and asked him why he was "driving so crazy with so many kids out here?"
The driver left. Holt's sister said the driver came back "about 15 to 20 minutes later" and fired two shots at Holt. One of them hit Holt in the back of the head, killing him.

Shelby Mustang stars with Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez in Getaway movie

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

Car movies. We keep watching them, they keep making them. Despite Fast & Furious 6 still blowing up the box office (No. 1 in theaters for the second straight week) and production on Transformers 4 being well underway (check out the Bugatti Veyron and Corvette Stingray as new cast members), there's still room on the marquee for more car movies. Next one up is an Ethan Hawke joint called Getaway, which prominently co-stars a Ford Shelby GT500. The first trailer for Getaway, which opens in theaters on August 30, was released yesterday and can be watched below.
The movie's plot centers around Hawke's character, former race car driver Brent Magna, who must somehow use this car, what appears to be a generation-old Shelby GT500 Super Snake he "commandeered," to save his wife. The movie's third co-star is Selena Gomez, whose character we're told is the owner of said Shelby. A 20-year-old having a car like this seems a bit far-fetched - especially in Europe - and on paper, this plot looks like it cribs liberally from Charlie Sheen's 1994 The Chase. But all we've got to go on is a brief plot description and the trailer below, so we'll withhold judgment until the studio firmly has our ticket money in its grasp.
The Shelby GT500 is, of course, no stranger to acting. Before this jump to celluloid, the most fearsome of all Mustang models starred in the return of Knight Rider to television on NBC back in 2008. That gig didn't pan out for the car, the show lasting only one season and 17 episodes. In fact, with its casting in Getaway, the Shelby GT500 is one of the few actors who escaped that debacle with a future in show biz.
