1994 Ford Mustang Gt Coupe 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Bloomfield, Indiana, United States
For sale is a 1994 Mustang GT. It is in good working order. It starts and drives well for a car of its age. The driving experience is fun to say the least. Unlike current Mustangs, you can tell this thing has a truck motor with gobs of torque and pulls from any rev range. The motor is as strong as it ever was. The interior is in great condition except for a few issues. The doors have a few loose trim pieces which do not affect the aesthetics or usability of the car. The car is completely stock except for a set of flowmaster 40 series mufflers which sound great. The tires are nearly new and have a lot of life in them. The original 3-spoke 17" "pony" wheels are included in the sale if you wish. The wheels on the car are reproduction FR500 style 17" wheels and are nearly new and included in the sale.
I have had the car since 2000 and it was my daily driver for years. It has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. Now for the bad. The car has been siting for a while but has a new battery. I spent some time driving it and it is no worse for wear. There is a minor musty smell on the interior. This goes away after use based on experience. The airbag light is illuminated and no further info is available. The windshield washers are weak (personally a non issue as the windshield never seems to get dirty) and do not clean the windshield effectively but the wipers work great. The key fob for remote entry is included but is broken and needs replaced but the keys get you inside the old fashioned way no problem. There is very minor surface rust on some of the components under the hood. The body is in great condition for having spent it's life in the rust belt. There is no rust on the exterior. It was repainted by the previous owner. Currently the clear coat could use a buffing as there are minor blemishes visible from certain angles. There is some chipping and cracking down low but you have to look for it. The right rear tail light is faded slightly as it is not the original. There are some minor dings in the bumpers and fenders. Some of the exterior plastic is cracked. Over all, the thing still looks sharp. |

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings
Thu, 31 Jul 2014The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.
What an Atlas-based Ford F-150 might look like
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Just ahead of January's Detroit Auto Show, surprising rumors pegged Ford as revealing some sort of F-150 concept, perhaps as a hurried effort to deflate some of the buzz building around General Motors' new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, which were also making their auto show debut. Those rumblings turned out to be true, as Ford rolled into the Motor City with its Atlas concept (inset, right), touting the truck's bold styling as a precursor to the next-generation F-Series.
The show truck featured all kinds of clever details, including active wheel shutters and a front air dam that raised and lowered to improve aerodynamics while preserving off-road ability. It also had a genuinely snarly face. And it's that pugnacious snout that may well be on its way to production. The good folks at TopSpeed have worked up the plausible-looking artist's rendering above by cross-referencing the Atlas concept with what little has been revealed from recent spy shots. The look is toned-down pretty dramatically from the concept truck, but its Atlas roots are clear, with a massive three-bar grille and bracket-shaped headlamps hiding a next-generation EcoBoost engine. In the rendering, the show truck's deeply contoured hood and roofline have been ditched and larger, more traditional side mirrors have been fitted - all likely concessions in the move to production sheetmetal.
While Ford has yet to officially announce when it will unveil the 2015 F-150, all signs point to next year's Detroit Auto Show - one year after the Atlas shrugged off GM's new pickups.
