     Sidewinder Mustangs have beed described as the 'Bigfoot Mustang', meaning everyone has heard of them but very few have ever seen one.  If you are not familar with them there is a whole website dedicated to them with a registry, google it and it will tell  you all the history better then me.  Here is one that is registered in the Sidewinder registry as of 1 of 7 cars known to exist, total production was 44 cars all made in the same sequence of VIN numbers.  These VIN #'s are a closely held secret so I won't be releasing the full VIN so don't ask, this helps to prevent clones of anyone with a Mustang that is close to these VIN's although there are quite a few 'box's' that would need to be checked in order for it to be considered a Sidewinder.

     When I bought this car it came to me as a fully 'restored orignal' car that had been painted from its original yellow to the orange you see on it now.  The car came complete with oversized tires on the rear, a nice fresh coat of dealer installed rubber undercoating,  and Hooker headers and exhaust to name a few things.  I decided to do the car properly by starting with what I couldn't see, underneath.  I scrapped off all the gooey undercoat to see what I was dealing with.  The car had new pans in the front, everything else was original.  I proceeded to strip everything off which included all fuel lines, brake lines, diff, transmission, driveshaft, I even cut out the torque box's and replaced them with new.  The color I found on the underside is the color you see on it now, apparently Ford used a slop barrel (all left over paint from their production line went into this barrel and used as primer on the underside of their cars) and not red oxide or black as what is commonly done.  After cleaning the driveshaft I returned it back to original colors found underneath including the 'white dot' which indicated that is was the 4th pipe cut off the line which told the workers that it had to be balanced individually. 

     Undercarriage:  Everything new or restored, transmission (original Ford 4spd toploader), diff. (original Ford 3:50 traction lock), completely rebuilt.  New torque box's coated individually on all sides with POR 15.  Pans cleaned down to bare metal, primed and coated to a computer match of the existing paint but with Devoe Bar Rust (they will last forever now), new fuel lines, brake lines, u-joints, brakes (discs in the front drums in the back), leaf springs, shocks, clips, e-brakes cables + springs etc., rubber grommets, correct exhaust manifolds, fuel tank and factory style exhaust + hangers from The Mustang Shop.  There is nothing left to do underneath.

     Interior:  Is original and as I found it, no rips, tears, cracks or worn spots on dash, seats or headliner.  Carpet is excellant, door panels are excellant, nothing you can do to make it better.

     Engine bay:  Orginal 351 Cleveland is how I found it.  I don't know what was done to it in the past but it runs strong, pulls hard and has a nice idle.  No leaks, electronic ignition.  Engine bay is clean, nice and tidy.

     Body + paint:  Again the body and paint is how I got it, I don't know what if any sheet metal was replaced but the paint is clean and looks good.  Color change was done well, the only place I could find showing the original color is underneath the rear deck inside the trunk which can only be seen when the gas tank is out.  (That's how I saw it)  No dents and no scratches, gaps are good and paint has a good shine.  In my opinion though not show quality but very nice.  Glass is all good, all lights work.

     If I keep the car I plan to strip the body and return it back to its original color of yellow (it's the nice Ford yellow not the washed out looking one).  So if I still have it I plan to add it to my list of winter projects in the next month or so.  Original DSO was Omaha.  Car breaks down to 1 of 2,989 with 351-4v, 1 of 62 yellow, 1 of 51 black vinyl, 1 of 3 3:50 traction lock, 1 of 2 color keyed sport mirrors, and 1 of 1 with power steering for those of you that like that kind of thing.

     Conditons: car is sold as is, please bid only if you are serious and actually have the funds to purchase a super rare factory Mustang.  However, I'm not going to tell you all that crap about the legality of the winning bid and how you have to buy the car and I'm going to keep your deposit (money which is not mine).  If you win, i need a deposit of $2000 after the end of the auction.  Then fly out, have somone ispect it or simply pay for it.  Doesn't matter to me, but once the car is paid for and shipped you own it so due your own dilegence.  I will assist in shipping in whatever way I can.  If you do inspect the car and findout its not to your liking I will refund your deposit except for Ebay fee's.  
     I do have a collection of cars but I find I am leaning more to the european specifically British.  I like rare and unusal cars.  Cars on my bucket list include a 100-4, E-type, 60's-70's Lotus, '62 MGA's etc., other then that I'm not really interested in trades.  Reserve is set fairly for a car this rare but will not be released.  Email any questions.

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek

Fri, Jan 29 2016

Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST

Concentrated ST Formula Proves Just As Potent
I'm not the jealous type... usually. But I will fully admit to being somewhat of a Pouty Polly when I read executive editor Chris Paukert's report after driving the then-new 2013 Ford Focus ST through the impossibly pretty southern French Alps region last June. I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but hot hatchbacks hold a special place in my heart. And while I'm always giddy to drive any sort of small, turbocharged three- or five-door at home in Detroit, my jealousy was indeed piqued after hearing Paukert tell about the challenging yet breathtaking roads he encountered while driving the flamin' yellow Focus. You know, the sort of roads that, from above, look like carelessly drizzled lines of icing on the frosted Alpen caps.
Several months later, I found myself piloting a Focus ST just west of metro Detroit, pitting it head-to-head against one of Autoblog's perennial favorite cars, the Volkswagen GTI. It was fantastic - enough so that I fully stand behind my statement that in terms of balls-out performance, the Focus ST cannot be beat as far as today's front-wheel-drive hatches are concerned.

Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.
