1986 MUSTANG GT CONVERTIBLE 5.0 RED CLEAN INSIDE & OUT NEW TOP/PAINT/CLUTCH ETC.

My father purchased it from a family friend, he has had this car since 1990, it has hardly been driven since then. He moved to FL with Mom and they left the car here, so I started fixing it up over the years, and now I am newly married. . .And I have different new projects evolving with her. So the car has to go. :(

Exterior: No Body Damage, no rust, New Orig.Factory Jalpeno Red Paint (Before the car was painted there was only surfaced rust on the doors that was repaired professionally(Have pics before it was painted if your interested.) The rest of the body was solid, The Door jams, Rockers, inside the hood are all still orginal paint. The Paint looks great has a very nice clear coat! The White power Top is Brand New and works great! Eagle Alloy 16 inch wheels are in great shape, The tires are like new 225 50 R16, General's top of the line tires $500.00 brand new. Brakes are good. Headlights work, brake lights, and turning singals all work. The fog light bulbs need to be replaced. The fog lights themselves work. One crack on the windshield, it might be able to fixed, see pic for details. And the driver side door only locks from inside.

Interior: The interior is clean minor wear from over the years, Dash, door panels, visors, trim, console looks great, The Seats are in very good shape, there is some wear from the sun on the edges of the seats(Not bad at all) And in the back seat I saw one very small minor burn hole. The fuel pump is manually controlled by a toggle switch(Gives security) New Cd player with $150.00 Pioneer Speakers in the back. The fronts I could not wire in, because they were stock, need to get new ones for the front. I will also include original speakers with Original Radio. Power windows work great and are very clean.

Engine/Trans: 5.0 Engine ALL Original, runs strong, Sythetic oil change, Brand New Ram Clutch($530.00), New Fuel Pump, New Fuels Injectors(Cost $1500.00). Just changed both Valve cover gaskets. Everything is Stock and Original, My Dad said the A/C used to work, just needs to be charged. Little tiny oil leak from oil pan gasket, did not get a chance to replace.

Under carriage: Some minor surface rust, not a big deal from over the years. FYI: I also have some spare parts that come with the car, the old luggage rack, light bulbs, the door panel pockets.

Over all the car is very good shape, It is a head turner. I like to be very honest in my listing, that way you know exactly what your buying. If you have any questions feel free to call 630-550-9858. Items are Sold as Described and as is. Please make all inquires before Bidding. -Thanks

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.

Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The hottest modern sports cars rendered as rally racers

Thu, Jan 14 2016

The modern-day World Rally Championship a monumental amount of fun to watch – I should know, as I recently was lucky enough to head to the UK to watch WRC Wales Rally GB Â– but even the most monstrous of the current WRC cars are based on fairly pedestrian European hatchbacks. Back in the heyday of rally, the Group B era in the 1980s, much hotter cars were the basis of even more incredible competition machines, for the most part. Take the exotic Ford RS200, or the Lancia Delta S4 with its twin-charged engine. And the hatchback-based Group B cars were bonkers, too. So what would some of our favorite modern cars look like if Group B had never ended? A British site named CarWow hired an artist to reimagine everything from the Rolls-Royce Wraith to the Porsche 911 as a retro-inspired rally car, and they were kind enough to let us share the results in the gallery above. The gallery features an Alfa Romeo Giulia in Martini livery, an Audi TT in classic Ur-Quattro colors, a Fiat 500 Abarth sporting massive flares and a hood blister full of auxiliary lights, a new Ford Mustang in RS200 livery, a Lancia Delta in Alitalia colors, a Porsche 911 in Rothmans livery, a Renault-Alpine in classic blue, a Rolls-Royce Wraith tribute to the Jules cologne Corniche Coupe, and a relatively modern-looking VW Touran. So far, the favorite around the office is the incredible Mercedes-Benz S-Class that is an homage to the wonderful 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" that essentially put AMG on the map. Check out the gallery above and see which one you like the best. Related Video:
