This 81 has a 5.0 V8 out of a 95 Mustang GT. It has however been changed to a carbinstead of fuel injection.

BBK ceramic headers attached to a Streetflow Dual exhaust. It has a rebuilt C4 trans with a shift kit rebuilt in 2012. The rear end is a 7.5" with 3:08 gears non posi. It has been lowered in all 4 corners with 2in Ibach lowering springs and all new shocks. It also has all new front bearings, rear axel seals, And complete brakes. Rotors, drums, shoes, pads. in addition to new alignment, front and rear sway bar, power steering, ignition system, rack and pinion, and u joints. I am probably forgetting something but I have a sheet with what has been done, how much and some dates. Also a folder full of receipts.

The body is in great shape. It does have some hail damage and a dent in the passenger fender among other bumps and scratches. It has a factory sunroof that is removable. I also have the storage case for the sunroof. The windows are tinted. The back part of the roof was a vinyl top but we pulled it off cause it was sun cracked and sanded and painted. The spoiler is from an 89-90 Firebird and painted the same as the roof. The wheels are from a mustang and have BFG tires on them.

The interior is in good shape. The dash has some cracks and a hole in the middle from someone putting a speaker in it. I have a black dash mat over it. The drivers seat has some wear and cracks in the bottom corner where you get in and out. Other than that the seats are in great shape. The carpet is in great shape as well. The headliner is missing the material. The cardboard that is glues too is there and in good shape.

The car runs and drives smooth and is quick. The title is clean and clear.

Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.

Swedish car mag says Ford Mondeo is dangerously, illegally overweight [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Sweden's Teknikens Varld has a reputation for being very persnickety when it comes to auto safety testing, and its latest catch is the Mondeo Titanium Estate 2.0 TDCi 150 bhp S6 MPS (basically a station wagon variant of the Fusion). In addition to the model's mile-long name, it has another problem according to the Swedes, because its weight on the scales does not equal the official numbers for the vehicle. Teknikens Varld claims the wagon is dangerously overweight because it weighs in 4,145 pounds, while Ford officially lists its weight at 3,530 pounds. That 615-pound disparity means that if a family loads it to what they think is the model's gross vehicle weight, it will actually be too heavy, and therefore illegal to drive in Sweden. According to the magazine, when it tried doing this, the rear wheels scraped against the wells, and the estate failed the mag's legendary moose test. However, at 220 pounds over the limit, it passed the test. When reached for comment by Autoblog, Jay Ward, Senior Manager at Ford of Europe Product Communications, explained the reason for the deviation between the official numbers and the magazine's test: "We are aware of this, but this is not an issue that relates specifically to the safety of the Mondeo, but is in fact related to the way in which the cars are tested by the authorities. We provided an Ambiente model for the testing but the car that featured in the magazine test was a Titanium model which has a different weight. We are in discussion with the Swedish Transport Agency to change the framework so the real weight of the Titanium model is reported instead of the Ambiente model which will resolve the issue." Teknikens Varld is well-known for calling out automakers for perceived transgressions. Most recently it leveled criticisms against the all-wheel drive system in the Honda CR-V, and both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Porsche Macan failed its moose test.

Mondeo weighs 279 kg more than Ford claims. With big load (ie family plus luggage) the car therefore becomes illegal to drive.

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.
