For sale is my 1976 Mustang II Cobra clone 4-speed. Rebuilt 302 V8 motor, bored 30 over with a mild cam, GT 40 heads, Holley 4 barrel carb, and dual exhaust. This thing is fast and handles wonderfully. Car has power front disc brakes, rear drums, and power steering. It has factory air conditioning; all parts are there, but the compressor (included) is not mounted and factory T-Tops, which are rare in this body style. Interior is in great shape. It was completely restored by the previous owner, with 100+ receipts totaling over $8000, dated 1992-1994, and was finished about 10 years ago. I had a new clutch installed less than a year ago and it has a new water pump, new fuel pump, cleaned fuel lines, new fuel filter, new thermostat, and new hoses and belts. Tires are in great shape. Odometer reads 9,500 miles. Comes with original owner's manual, Hayne's repair manual, new oil filter, and fitted water-resistant California Car Cover. I installed bumper guards on the front and rear bumpers with 3M tape; easy to remove if desired.

Now for the flaws: it has a few spots of minor surface rust around the driver's side door and on two of the wheels (all seen in the photos), a small ding in the same door (so subtle that I couldn't even get it to photograph), a few chips in the paint, is missing a radio (previous owner removed it for some reason; because of this, I removed the antennae, which comes included in a box full of extra parts), a small crack on the rear bumper and one of the taillights (also seen in the photos), the struts on the hatch don't fully support it when opened, the tach works but isn't reading accurately, and the fuel gauge and windshield wipers aren't working.

Originally a Florida car.  Starts up every time (if you're in the northeast, you know what a hellishly cold winter we had and it didn't give me a single problem throughout it), runs great, shifts great.  I typically drive it once or twice a week and I've taken it on multiple 400+ mile trips and it's always been reliable. This thing turns heads and starts conversations everywhere I bring it. It's been very well cared for and all in all is a super clean example of a rare Mustang. Clean title ready to be transferred. This makes me want to buy my car all over again.

Car is also for sale locally, so I have the right to end this auction at any time.  Would be open to a trade for a third-gen Camaro 305 5-speed.  Feel free to message me with any questions.  Thanks for looking.

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.

Detroit 3 and UAW could create healthcare pool

Thu, Sep 3 2015

Healthcare costs continue to multiply in the US with no clear end in sight, but the United Auto Workers and the Big Three are negotiating a way to rapid growth under control. As part of the latest contract talks, the union has an idea to create a healthcare pool across all of its members at Ford, General Motors, and FCA US. If accepted, the company-wide integration would spread out the expenses and create a massive member base for bargaining with insurance companies. Both Ford and GM are at least considering the proposal, according to The Detroit News, and FCA US might be on board, as well. The idea is the work of current UAW president Dennis Williams and is based on the similar pool for the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association for retirees. "I've walked through this several ways; I just don't have any other answer," Williams said to The Detroit News. "I do believe this will work. It's worked with the VEBA." Williams was elected UAW president last year and won by an overwhelming margin. He vowed no more concessions to automakers. In addition to healthcare, the two-tier wage system is another major talking point in the contract negotiation because it gives fewer benefits to entry-level workers. Higher wages are also a request. Healthcare costs are a massive expense for automakers and are expected to reach over $2 billion this year, according to The Detroit News. The payments are up nearly 50 percent or more in just the last four years.

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
