 - 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.

Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.

Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.
