1984 Mustang LX 3.8 V6 convertible, EXCELLENT RUNNER!!! This was my project car since 2008 and it's time to move on to the next project. It has great running V6, recent paint (garage kept, never even waxed since paint) new Pirelli touring tires, recent top (no rips, tears, discoloration, with glass back window). 1989 grey GT seats with working power lumbar, working power windows, door locks, cruise control, console info center. Chrome valve covers, chrome air cleaner, new coil over rear shocks, single exhause with high flow cat and flowmaster muffler (nice quiet burble at idle).
Repro dash pad, console armrest. Working FACTORY am-fm stereo with factory optional "premium sound" amp, and new speakers. New quarter window seals, new dew wipes ("door window "fuzzies") Trunk, quarters, doors, fenders absolutely rust free. Small rust spot undfer drivers foot was repaired before new rugs were installed. Has new emblems, including modern Ford part V-6 emblems on hood scoop. Tilt wheel, cruise control work!
Correct factory part GT hood scoop installed in perfect factory mounting spots. Dealer installed trunk luggage rack with real wood strips (were sanded, stained and spar varnished). New battery (last month), new starter solenoid, all new (recent) hoses, belts etc. Brakes excellent. Runs cool with excellent oil pressure. Tons more stuff I've forgotten, but this car was done right.
A couple points: the non working AC was pulled when I installed a new heater core. I still have compressor etc, if you want it. Same with smog pump. Belts are the same; billet pulleys were installed. If the motor sits for a few days it taps for a FEW SECONDS until oil pressure comes up, then NO NOISE AT ALL after that. Note: there is some small rust directly below the brake fluid distribution fitting; however it's just sheet metal and I was assured by a Mustang specialist that it was no big deal; however it has been taken into account in the asking price. THIS IS A 29 year old car, so of course it has some quirks, but it's nice, driveable RIGHT NOW and just in time for summer, too! Clear NJ title in my name.
In case you're wondering also, I live 10 miles from the coast, we had NO WATER from Sandy (though we lost a tree in front of the house). I am sort of torn over selling this but I have a new project and need the garage space! Set of factory manuals and all the '84 spare parts I can find in my shed come with the car if you want them.

Ford dissects the heart of the 2015 Mustang, its engine range
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Happy Mustang Day. Are you tired of hearing about the 2015 Ford Mustang yet? No? Good, here's a bunch of mechanical data on Ford's sixth-gen muscle car, along with cutaways of the GT's 5.0-liter V8 and the new 2.3-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder shown above. We also have a smattering of info on the Stang's updated transmissions and an exploded-parts-diagram view of its all-new independent rear suspension.
Ford is set to make waves offering the Mustang with a turbo for the firs time since the small-volume SVO of the 1980s. Displacing 2.3 liters, the engine's twin-scroll turbo should help the four-cylinder turn out a projected 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, while also returning the best fuel economy in the Mustang's engine lineup. As we said in our Deep Dive, the EcoBoost will be slotted in as a premium engine, above the 3.7-liter V6 but below the 5.0-liter V8.
Speaking of that high-revving eight-cylinder, it's receiving a new cylinder head with high-flow ports. The intake and exhaust valves are larger and the cams have been replaced, among other tweaks. It should rev even higher thanks to a rebalanced crankshaft and forged connecting rods. Ford is still claiming a projected 420 hp and 390 lb-ft, although as many of the changes for the 2015's V8 come from the 2013 Boss 302, we're going to assume there's some sandbagging at work.
Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?
Tue, 26 Aug 2014
Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
