Cons:
- Convertible top window is broken.  The top still goes up and down just fine, but I would recommend changing it.  I never fixed it because It has only been driven in nice weather, a new one can be purchased on Ebay for 175.00.
- Some paint chips throughout the car but nothing bad, there is also a bit of bubbling on the hood, again nothing serious.
- Carb needs adjusting and it could use a few small things (Oil change etc) to be at 100%
- Interior seats could use a good shampooing
- Passenger gauges (Such as oil temp, etc) Could use replacing as they are pretty old

- Needs arm rests for the doors (80.00 on Ebay)
- Could use new molding for the windows (80.00 on Ebay)
- Thermal wrap is unwrapping under the car, could easily be fixed or removed.


Everything on this car has been professionally installed and it is a very fast Mustang.  Dyno sheet measured it to be 450 Horsepower.  This car was obtained by me through a trade from a friend, and I am no where near being a car enthusiast or enough to understand vehicles like this.   This car should only be purchased by someone who understands high end engines like this, as it is not for someone (Like me) who does not understand vehicles very well.  I will answer any and all questions to the best of my ability, as I can still contact my friend I obtained it from.  I have a few receipts totaling over 5,200.00 JUST for a few Engine parts ALONE.  There is over $6,500 invested in engine, and over $9,500 in the vehicle as a whole.  I had a recent emergency which forces me to part with this awesome car.  This car has a CLEAN title IN HAND, and ready to be transferred to the new owner.  I will assist in shipping as much as possible, but buyer is responsible for all costs, car is located in Iron River, MI.  Additional pictures available upon request.  

Car will be listed with ABSOLUTELY no reserve.  I have the car listed locally, and reserve the right to end auction early if I find a buyer.   This is a great car, and deserves a good home.  It is not perfect, and it needs small things here and there, but nothing serious.  I listed the vehicle the best to my knowledge and it will be sold AS-IS with absolutely no refunds.  I need the money very bad right now which unfortunately forces me to sell this awesome vehicle.  Please ask any and all questions before bidding.  If you have 0-10 feedback, please contact me before bidding or your bid will be removed .  Thank you VERY much for looking and good luck!!

Ford recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module

Wed, Dec 23 2015

The Basics: Ford is recalling 312,814 units of the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans from the 2003-2005 model years. They were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant between Oct. 3, 2001, and Aug. 2, 2005. Ford says 296,004 of those units are located in the United States, with another 14,714 in Canada and 2,096 in Mexico. The Problem: The solder joints on the lighting control module could crack, depriving the headlamps of the power they need to light the way ahead. That could increase the risk of a crash, particularly at night and in other low-visibility situations. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports that it is aware of 11 accidents that resulted from the problem, leading to one injury described as "minor." The Fix: The manufacturer is instructing dealers to replace the entire lighting control module. If You Own One: Make sure your headlights are working before getting under way. If they're not, avoid driving under low-light conditions, including at night, in heavy precipitation, or in fog.

Detroit and Silicon Valley: When cultures collide

Fri, May 26 2017

Culture is a subject that rarely, if never, gets discussed when traditional auto companies buy — or hugely invest — in Silicon Valley-based companies. The conversation surrounding the investments is usually about how the tech looks appealing and how it's an appropriate step to move the automakers toward autonomy. Culture — the way things are done, the expectations, and the approaches — is something that is overlooked only at one's peril. The potential cultural gap is almost always evident in the obligatory photos of the participants in these deals, with is essentially a photo op of auto execs with their Silicon Valley counterparts. The former — rocking jeans and no ties — look like parochial school kids playing hooky. Don't worry: The regimental outfits will be back in place once they get back in the Eastern time zone. Consider what happened back in 1998 when Daimler bought Chrysler. First of all, there was a denial in Detroit that it happened. It was positioned as a "merger of equals." Which it wasn't. In any corporate situation, when one has more than 50 percent of the business, it owns the whole thing. And the German company was in the proverbial driver's seat. People who were around Auburn Hills back then kept their heads down and their German Made Simple books at hand. Things did not go well. Daimler had had enough by 2007, when it offloaded Chrysler to Cerberus Capital Management — which brought ex-Home Depot CEO Bob Nardelli into the picture, which is a story onto itself. But when you think about the Daimler-Chrysler situation, realize that these were two car companies (at least the Mercedes part of the Daimler organization), so they had that in common, and the language of engineers is something of an Esperanto based on math, so there was that, too. Yet it simply didn't work. It doesn't take too many viewings of HBO's Silicon Valley to know that the business people in that part of the world are far more aggressive than people who ordinarily head and control car companies in Detroit. About 20 years ago, a book came out about the founder of Oracle titled The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison* - and the asterisk on the book jacket leads to: God Doesn't Think He's Larry Ellison. It would be hard to imagine a book about a Detroit executive, even a book that had the decided bias that the tome about Ellison evinces, that would be quite so searing. Sure, there are egos. But they are still perceived to be, overall, "nice" people.

Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update

Fri, May 19 2017

Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android
