HI,Up for sale is my 1985 Mustang GT I am selling the car for unfotunate reasons my fiance has had multiple brain anurisms&a stroke so I need money&cant enjoy the car.Let me tell you a bit about the car.The car only has 57771 miles on it.First I will start when I got the car it had only 40,000 miles on it. Ive had it about 4 years,Ive put alot of money into the car. I will start with the history of the car it was a (dealer special order car).It is a ford factory original sunroof car which makes it rare what makes it even more rare I found is the car was ordered in early 1985 with a full roller carburated 4 barrel TRW motor with 9.5 to 1 compression right from the factory.This means that the motor came with TRW pistons,rods,and crankshaft right from ford with roller lifters&roller camshaft&roller rocker arms right from ford as well.The car came with(NO power windows or power locks also NO air conditioning and when you order a factory original sunroof car ford strengths and reinforces the frame at the factory making it stronger than a standard mustang frame.Im informed by ford that this car is a special order only car that no dealer would ever stock this car on his lot it is a special customer ordered car in the ford dealers opinion this individual ordered this car for racing applications from the factory.I recieved my information from ford dealers and 2 performance ford engine specialists on the car.I will now tell you the upgrades I have done to the car.starting with the under carriage.
I have put new front struts&new rear shocks&new rear axle dampners on the car.I have also installed adjustable spring blocks on the front&rear springs as well.
The exhaust is starting at the engine hooker jet hot coated 3/4 length headers going into 21/2 inch pipe to dynomax turbotube mufflers with 21/2 inch tailpipes with extra 36 inch long polished stainless steel tips and tailpipes are custom to accomadate 11 inch tires with no problem.
The rear axle&differential is 8.8 rear differential with 3:23 gears and ford factory traction bars and pinion snubber.
The wheels are american racing outlaw wheels all the way around
The rear tires are BFG G-FORCE drag radial T/A size 275/50/15 tires
The front tires are GOODYEAR invader GT size 215/60/15 tires
Have matching BFG G-FORCE size 235/60/15 tires for front but can use on rear if you want these if you want for (additional cost)
Have a complete set another addition set of radial street driving tires if you want for (additional cost)
all six extra tires can be bought for $300 additional dollars with car
The transmission is a ford manual with all new gears&sychros
The car has a new flywheel &clutch&pressure plate&throwoutbearing assemblies
The shifter is new with hurst shifter lever&handle with ford linkage
Now for the engine I was never going to rebuild the engine but I found a deal on a blower/supercharger I just could not pass up
Engine is stock it has just been honed and still has 9.5 to 1 comperession the original trw pistons&rods were checked and reconditioned & rings were replaced & crankshaft was replaced with hardned crankshaft for supercharged engine along with the bearings&rings all replaced to accomadate supercharged engine.Engine has been completly balanced&blueprinted. Engine also has Comp Cams roller camshaft and roller lifters with ford motorsport 1.72 roller rocker arm assemblies with quiet pete jackson gear drive to eliminate the timing chain that way the timing can never skip or jump during high RPMS engine has new water pump and chrome metal radiator hoses and new ford distributor with ford motorsport ignition wires&wire holders and Accel ignition high intestity coil. The BLOWER/SUPERCHARGER is a B&M FORCED INDUCTION SERIES blower that has been rebuilt&tested by GARY DYER of DYERS BLOWERS personally. At this time the blower is set up at 5.5 pounds of boost but can go as hi as 12 pounds of boost by just changing pulleys.Now for the information about the heads when the motor was blueprinted we designed it with edelbrock,comp cams,and dyers blowers having multiple 3 way calls with all of them they advised us to use a certain edelbrock rpm cylinder head which I have the part number for to use with this camshaft &engine design and I do have the cam card as well.Unforunatly for me at the time I have another car which is a pro street cuda that had a major failure at the track.I decided to put the matching comp cams valve springs on the stock heads&port the heads myself to save money so at the time I could fix my other car. The car really needs those heads because the heads arent flowing right so when the car is cold it runs rough when it warms it gets better spoke to edelbrock they informed that those stock heads wont work they are junk they wont flow enough and the valves are just plain to small and spoke to comp cams as well they said the same thing defintely valves are to small to make your engine design work great with your cam and valve train set up the car must have the edelbrock rpm heads they said plain and simple.So basically you should get the edelbrock rpm heads&according to edelbrock&comp cams&dyers blowers the engine design with these heads should be at 590 horsepower with complete comfortably&everday driveability if you want and that is what I wanted a good reliable street car.
Now for the outside body it is compltely rust free & the under carriage is mint the car has nicely tinted rear windows&side windows passenger door lock assembly was damaged upon theft attempt but door and all mechanisms work just fine paint is ok just faded and fin on rear of car needs paint has 1971 style fiberglass twin scoop hood I do have original hood goes with car
interior is nice no rips in seat good condition dash has no cracks dash is nice and when I bought the car the owner gave me a ford motor sports dash in the box which I installed right away with 140mph speedo in it
radio is a sony removable face head unit with cd player&aux hook ups& 4 additional 6x9 speakers installed in addition to all speakers in stock positions all speakers replaced with all sony speakers
what I wanted here was a fast car to drive everyday&if I wanted to have fun on the street or track I could at any given time and most importantly make it everyday dependable
if you have any questions feel free to call me my name is Tim and my cell phone is 1-630-973-3141 if I dont answer right away I check my message frequently I will call you back asap. thank again for looking and good luck

Ford Recalls Nearly 435,000 Vehicles
Mon, Apr 7 2014Ford is recalling nearly 435,000 cars and SUVs to fix rusting frame parts or faulty seats. The biggest of the two recalls covers nearly 386,000 Ford Escapes from the 2001 through 2004 model years. Ford says the subframes can rust, allowing a control arm to separate and hamper steering control. Ford is aware of one crash but no injuries linked to the problem. The SUVs were originally sold or registered in 20 states and Washington, D.C., where salt is used to clear snow and ice from roads. Six Canadian provinces also are included. Dealers will install a reinforcement brace to fix the problem. The Escapes covered by the recall were built from Oct. 22, 1999 through Dec. 19, 2003 at the Kansas City Assembly plant, and from May 1, 2003 through Jan. 23, 2004 at the Ohio Assembly plant, Ford said in a statement issued Monday. They were originally sold or registered in Connecticut, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin, Delaware, Maine, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont, Indiana, Michigan, New York, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. Also covered are Escapes sold or registered in Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland & Labrador. The second recall covers 49,000 Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and C-MAX vehicles from 2013 and 2014. Dealers will replace seat back frames that weren't welded properly. No crashes or injuries have been reported from the problem, Ford said. Recalls Ford

Ford Mustang 50th anniversary edition brings in $170k
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Just the other day, we reported on the first Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat selling for a whopping $825,000 at auction. But impressive as that sum was, the Challenger wasn't the only sought-after modern muscle car to cross the Barrett-Jackson auction block in Las Vegas this past weekend. So did this rare Ford Mustang.
The last of 1,964 special-edition 50 Years Limited Edition pony cars sold for a princely $170,000, with proceeds benefiting the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute, a branch of the Henry Ford Health System.
The pony car in question is based on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and upgrades with a performance package and nearly every option on the book, along with a unique appearance package to set it apart in celebration of the Mustang's 50th anniversary. It's available in two exclusive shades - Wimbledon white or Kona blue - with either a manual or automatic transmission. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples were to be built, and this was the last of them.
