1996 Ford Mustang Gt Convertible, Triple Black on 2040-cars
Encino, California, United States
- I am the 3rd owner and have all records from the 2nd owner who bought it from the 1st original owner-dealer back in 1999 when the car had 15,000 miles on it.
- I bought it in 2006 when it had 79,000 miles and I always changed the oil every 3,000 miles on the dot...never missed an oil change...also changed transmission fluid often, fuel filter often, rear differential fluid and would add fuel injector cleaner with a gas fillup at least once a month or every 3rd or 4th fillup. Non smoking adult, never abused, always clean, cared for and bathed in armor all. Good leather seats, interior, carpet and steering wheel! - Original Paint, nothing to hide, no accidents. Original factory stereo-radio-cassette and CD player, will include cassette to 1/8 inch audio mini jack adaptor so you can plug in your phone, iPod, laptop, tablet etc... Trunk is clean with spare, jack and wheel locks. - I had Intrax lowering springs installed and KYB Gas Shocks which brought it down 1 1/2 to 2 inches, so the ride is much, much better, super tight handling and it looks cool, also front camber kit for proper front end alignment. - Some recent maintainence done within the past year and a half include, A/C charge-new hose, Radiator flush, new upper and lower radiator hoses, radiator cap, thermostat, S-belt, battery, coil, rack and pinion, heavy duty steering shaft, fuel pump, motor mounts, transmission mount, and I just installed new trunk lift hydraulic support things, so the trunk stays up. - New Intake manifold was installed a while ago...all the late 90's mustang intakes corroded and leaked coolant at one point around 80-90k miles...I already had it replaced with the redesigned model, so you don't have to worry about that happening again. - It has been in a garage most of the time for the past 8 years where I worked...all day. The garage was difficult to get in and out of, so I have touched up the corners of the bumpers where I scraped them up a bit. I have been working from home since september 2012, so I rarely drive it anymore, maybe put 2,500 miles on it since then. The odometer had stopped working recently, but I just had it fixed, so there are maybe 1,000 more miles on it that what is displayed. - Tires are great Michelin Pilot Sport XGT 245/45/ZR17 - Known Issues...mostly cosmetic...no surprises - As I mentioned before, I have nothing to hide, so there will be no surprises, I will list everything I know about this car here... -The top does NOT leak but there were some rips in it which I have patched up with a kit I bought online as best I could, please see picts...you can see close up but not noticeable from a distance...at least this way they won't spread. -There are some "soft" dents on the right rear passenger side quarter panels because the previous owner's kids used to kick a soccer ball into it where they played in the front yard, again, please look at the pictures...you can see close up but not noticeable from a distance, didn't bother me, so I never tried to fix, maybe you can pull them out with a suction cup. -When the fuel pump was replaced, the seal on filler tube should have been replaced or maybe they didn't put it back in too well, so if you top it off at the pump a little gas will leak, I never noticed it before because I filled up and got on the freeway right away, so, by the time I got home, I never saw any gas leaking, so if you put in 10 gallons and do not top off, instead of the 13 gallons to fillup and top off, you will be good - Left front drivers side corner lense was cracked, by a co-worker of mine, I repaired with clear silicone adhesive sealer, hardly noticeable now from a distance, but they are cheap and easy to replace. - Does NOT smoke, drip or burn oil, if you can see the picts of my driveway, there are no oil spots on there but I do have to add a quart when it gets close to the 3,000 mile mark...which is when I change the oil anyways - The bright orange shifter indicator sticker thing came off a long time ago, so when you go from Park to reverse to neutral to drive, you have to keep count, you might be able to "fish" it out of the console and stick it back on, I can see it laying on the bottom inside the shifter-console there but it didn't bother me, so I never tried to fix it. - Bottom line - its getting harder and harder to find these with original paint and in decent condition, this is in way better shape than 90% of the ones I see out on the road today. It has lived its entire life here in southern CA and it has been a dependable daily driver for me since 2006, other than the top, it is in excellent overall condition. I recently saw another one just like mine sell in Texas for $5,000.00 so I think its a good deal, although that one had a new top, it didn't have the lowering springs like mine...and my engine compartment is cleaner. - I am an individual so you do not pay sales tax and I cannot offer or arrange for shipping, warranty etc... I am in Encino CA near the 101 and 405 freeways, you can come see the car during the day before the auction ends if you like. It will come with 2 PATS chipped Keys and one keyless entry, remote trunk opening fob. - if you do buy it and are coming from out of state, I am willing to pick you up from Burbank airport (which is closer to me) or LAX airport so you can drive it back home...just please give me a ride back to my home first, before you go on your way. |

2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.
Ford Focus refresh shots leak ahead of Geneva
Sun, 23 Feb 2014In case you haven't been paying attention, Ford has been gradually redesigning its lineup to sport a familiar face. The Aston Martin-inspired grille shape debuted on the Fusion and was soon applied to the Fiesta. Even the front end of the new Mustang takes its cues from the same, and we're sure other models will soon be made-over to fall in line. The next on the docket? The Focus.
Set to be unveiled in little over a week at the Geneva Motor Show, the revised Focus has leaked out a tad early, revealing a mild facelift that bears that same trapezoidal grille with horizontal slats. Along with the new grille, the headlights, lower fascia and hood appear to have been reshaped. Around back there appears to be a new rear bumper and taillights, but otherwise the shape remains largely the same as the current model.
Expect the updates to be applied to all bodystyles offered around the world, including the hatchback, wagon and sedan. The engine lineup is expected to carry over largely unchanged, though the plug-in hybrid powertrain from the C-Max Energi could port over to the revised Focus. Plus Ford seems to have taken the opportunity to spruce things up in the cabin some. Check it out in the image gallery above and watch this space for the official announcement as we pack our bags for Switzerland.
From Expedition to Navigator: our predictions for Lincoln's SUV
Tue, Feb 7 2017In the midst of all the buzz surrounding the new aluminum Ford Expedition and Expedition Max, we remembered the other large SUV the Ford Motor Company showed last year, the Lincoln Navigator concept. And since the Navigator has historically been built on the Expedition platform, we figured there's no better time to focus some of our predictions for the big Lincoln. First off, let's take a look at design. Having seen the new Expedition, we're fairly confident that the Navigator will look almost exactly like its concept. The strong similarities between two mean the Expedition serves as a preview of what a production Navigator will look like. For example, both vehicles' greenhouses we can see that the shape of the C-pillars are nearly identical. The only difference is that the Expedition's are painted body color, while the Navigator's are painted black. Additionally, the character line running along the top of the doors on both vehicles is roughly the same height. The same goes for the more subtle crease near the bottom of the doors. We also see no reason why Lincoln wouldn't use the full width taillights, fender vent, and grille treatment it used on the concept. Those are all easy design changes to create differentiation, and they're all right inline with the cues set by the Continental. View 15 Photos For powertrain, we're pretty certain the 400-horsepower 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 previewed on the concept is a certainty now. The Expedition and Expedition Max will be offered with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost as well, so we know it will fit. We expect the Expedition's engine will produce 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque as it does in the F-150. That's less power than the Navigator concept, but it would be reasonable to make the production Navigator a bit more powerful than its lowly Ford brethren to help justify the increased price tag. Towing capacity will probably be about the same between the Ford and Lincoln, which should be something over 9,000 pounds. The Navigator will probably use the same two-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive drivetrains, too. Inside is where the Expedition and Navigator will likely differ the most, particularly in seating. The Expedition offers seating for up to eight with an available second-row bench seat, and the Navigator concept had captain's chairs for every row. We're expecting the Navigator will only offer second-row captain's chairs since the cramped third row would be a waste of nice buckets.
