Hello, Up for auction is my 1984 Ford Mustang 5.0 (302 cu in) Convertible. I bought this car in California last year and I drove it home to New York, so this is a rust free hardly touched car. It does have some dings and nicks (2 on the hood, 1 on the front fender & 1 on the drivers door) but is straight and rust free. This car still has all the pollution equipment intact as it still passed the California emisssion inspection when I bought it. This car has a 5-speed manual transmission which shifts great, sometimes you have to feather it while going into 5th gear, but that has not been a issue for me. This car runs strong and straight and does not burn oil or leak any either as it has 96,467 original miles right now but will go up a bit as I am driving it still, the carb is the stock 4 barrel and I had it rebuilt when I got the car home last year. The interior is in good shape, I put in a new console door and someone reupolstered the seats in a gray and black cloth, the carpet is original and if I kept the car I would replace it because of fading, the dash is cracked (they all crack) and is covered by a black carpet dash cover, ok for now but again, if I was keeping it I would buy a plastic dash pad cover (on ebay for $129), the door panels are original, all the gauges work, as well as the A/C, which had a rebuilt compresser and new accumulator installed 2 years ago. It does have a new AM/FM CD palyer with two ways to play an iPod, and it also has a remote, and comes with the manual, speakers are original. All the power windows go up and down, although slow, the passenger rear window only goes down with the switch in the back seat, so I usually leave it up. The power steering works fine too. The car also has an alarm and power door locks with a remote entry and exit, passenger side does not always open with the remote. The convertible roof goes up and down with out issue and comes with the boot cover as seen in the pictures, the rear window is glass and is fine, there is a little seam separation of about an inch and a half which I show in a picture, I put a small patch on it, but I took it off for the picture, no water has got in as I cover the car when I know its going to rain and I do not drive it in the rain, but I could without incident as the wipers work fine and no water has gotten in when I wash the car. The tires are 17 inch Kumho's all around, the 2 fronts have 85% tread, but are older tires, the 2 rear tires I just bought from Tire Rack online and only have 400 or so miles on them. The wheels are chrome and look good, but there is some bubbling of the chrome between some of the spokes, but unless your bending down and looking, it is not noticeable. The car is single exhaust with a cat that is in great shape and does sound nice. The power brakes work fine and have plenty of life left, discs in the front and drums in the back. The radiator is a 2 year old aluminum 3 core. The paint is bright and not faded, it is a re-paint from probably 4 or 5 years ago, like I mentioned before, there is 5 or so nicks in the paint and there is some chips on the passenger rear quarter panel behind the door, but no rust anywhere, even underneath on the frame. Please be advised that the paint does have other paint flaws that are normal wear, I just pointed out the bigger ones either by pictures or previous descriptions. There is a spot on the rear bumper where it looks like someone backed into the car at low speed (see picture). I also put on a black leather hood bra which looks good to me, but it is easily removed, plus it covers up a paint chip. The lower passenger front valance has some chipping and stress lines, not from a car accident, but when I had the car inspected last year the car was sitting waiting for me to pick it up and a small sink hole, yes a sink hole, opened up under the front tire and the car dropped down and hit the ground, all in slow motion as I was there and it happened in front of me. The repair shop promised to pay to fix it, but he has reneged. I will be including the original manual as well as an after market repair manual. This car is very nice driver and presents well and I do get the thumbs up while driving it around, but it is not a show car, even thought I have put it in shows, I know it will be just looked at as a nice clean straight 1984 5.0 convertible driver. I have tried to explain everything to the best of my knowledge. Please ask questions. The car is sold as is, where is. US buyers only, please. The buyer is responsible for pick up and arragements for pick up. There will be a non-refundable deposit of $300.00 within 24 hours after auctions end and the balance can be in cash or bank check/money order and the title will not be released until funds clear. Thanks for looking, and Happy bidding.

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.

TX officer allegedly lets 140-mph street racer go with a warning [w/poll]
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Being pulled over by the police is one of the most nerve-racking situations that a driver can go through, and it's even worse when you know that the officer has you dead to rights for speeding well over the posted limit. In this video, the driver of a heavily modified Ford Mustang with a claimed 966 horsepower at the rear wheels could have easily lost his ride for doing triple-digit speeds and street racing, but a friendly Texas police officer appears to send him on his way with a simple warning.
What's more, the driver in question wasn't just speeding - his Mustang was the camera car for a bunch of rolling street races in the wee hours of the morning on a Texas highway. The driver was more than willing to mix it up in the action, too. Eventually the cops catch on and pick the 'Stang to pull over, but not before the Ford owner runs a claimed 140 mph. With only audio to go on after the car is pulled over, the police officer seems incredibly nonchalant about catching someone who was so brazenly breaking the law. Incredibly, the patrolman actually tells the driver that he's seen everyone racing tonight but ignored them. With traffic picking up, the cop says that it's time to "cut it out" and go home for the night. As far as this video shows, that was the end of it.
Warning: There is explicit, not-safe-for-work language in the video below.
