San Antonio, Texas, United States

This is my restored 1985 Mustang GT, 5.0 H.O. Convertible. For those of you out there looking to buy this car wholesale, you just as well stop reading right now. I'm not selling to give it away. I'm selling to make money off of my hard work and investment.I do not have to sell this car,so don't look here for a bargain. With that said, for those of you wanting a nice car, I purchased this car off an Ebay auction and have went through the entire car and invested over $10,000 and many hours along the way. I don't have to sell the car for anyone looking for a bargain.The engine and transmission were professionally overhauled locally.The original CFI set up was converted to an Edelbrock intake with a 600 cfm Edelbrock Carburetor. All new. This is a numbers matching engine and transmission. I have replaced the top with a glass rear window. Factory fog lights w/covers. It has a new tinted winshield. The struts and shocks on all four corners are all new as well as the front disc brake pads and rotors and the rear wheel drum brakes and new drums & all attaching springs, etc. The exhaust is new with headers and dual Flow Masters. There is no catalytic converters on this car. Not required at this age. The interior has the original seats which are white and are in very good condition. The dash hull was replaced as well as the console. The speedometer was changed over to a 140 mph replacement. The dash pad is also new along with the carpet. All new rubber moldings.everywhere. The stereo is a Pioneer single CD system with new speakers front & rear. The tires are new and are BF Goodrich with the correct size. The A/C works great! It has all new hoses and cores and is still operating with R12 and is cold. Everything works...even the windshield washer. There is no cruise control.....sorry. I did replace the steering wheel with one I thought looked better. I will add some more photos including the interior soon.The car handles like it did back in the 80's. It's not a cushy ride........It's a firm ride that connects you to the road. It does make "convertible" noises. It's not a quiet car. I am selling this car because I do not really drive it enough and it needs to be driven. It has only a 1,000 miles on the re-build. There are a few minor things that need to be done that will not cost any money but just a little time. The windows need some tweeking in the adjustment area. They go up and down fine, but I think they could do better. The motors are not new, but do have new cams. All of the adjustment is easy to access. The car needs to be driven to round out the tires. They do have a flat spots from sitting for periods of time. Just to let you know, I start and drive this car weekly if not several times a week. I just never drove it for any long distances. It always had fresh gas and never sat long enough for the battery to go down. It's a great car and would make anyone a great car to enjoy. The paint was done a couple of years ago and is very good job but not the greatest. The car was originally white. I chose the current color because I thought with the white top, it looked more impressive. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I have all of the receipts of all the work that has been done and all the parts that have been purchased. I also have a lot ofor extra parts, Ford shop manuals, and skematic plans that will go with the car. Remember, this is a classic and it's not perfect, but it will still get plenty of looks and runs great. Good luck and I hope it finds a new home. Thank you for looking, and by the way, the car is also for sale locally and I may the end the auction early if necessary. Car is sold as is. No warranty. If any requested work is to be done prior to turning over vehicle to new owner, such work with any costs, would be agreed upon by both parties.

2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Ford is toiling away, installing heavy-duty engine components into select 3.7-liter V6s to allow them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to gasoline. That's nothing new, but now, Ford has announced that it will offer the 2014 F-150 with this engine configuration, bringing the Blue Oval's total number of CNG/LPG-friendly vehicles up to eight. The F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup on the market that can run on these gases.
Ford will charge $315 per vehicle to equip the optional engine, but the trucks won't be ready to run on the alternative fuels straight from the factory and must be upfitted with additional equipment. A Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier will install a separate fuel system for the compressed gases at a cost of $7,500 to $9,500, depending on fuel tank size. With the right-size tank, the F-150 equipped with the CNG/LPG-prepped engine can go 750 miles on one tank of gas, according to Ford, averaging 23 miles per gallon.
The practice of offering flex-fuel vehicles is gaining momentum as businesses take advantage of cheap gas. CNG can be bought for $2.11/gallon on average (per gasoline equivalent), and sometimes for as little as $1.00 in some parts of the US, Ford states. "With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months," says Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager. The automaker expects to sell a total of 15,000 CNG/LPG-prepped vehicles in the 2014 model year.
Ford F-150 RaptorTrax is Ken Block's ultimate snowmobile
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Even when Ken Block isn't starring in the latest Gymkhana video or tearing up Global RallyCross courses, he's finding new ways to redefine "awesome" as it applies to motorsports. For evidence of this, look no further than Block's latest Monster-badged creation, the Ford F-150 RaptorTrax.
Billed as the "world's fastest snowcat," the RaptorTrax started life as a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, and then a set of Mattracks were put in place where the truck's bead-locked wheels and meaty rubber once resided. The goal was to create a truck that made it easier - and presumably more fun - for Block and his buddies to hit the slopes on their snowboards. Aside from the obvious track upgrades, this truck also received a Whipple supercharger, full roll cage, Recaro seats, an in-bed snowboard rack, a roof basket and a rear-mounted winch - you know, just in case something or someone actually manages to get this truck stuck.
The RaptorTrax will be on display later this week at the Winter X Games in Apsen, CO, but we'll have to wait until next winter for a full Block-worthy video of the truck. A full press release from Hoonigan Racing Division is posted below, and a high-res image can be found by clicking above.
2014 Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Ford Mustang
Mon, 01 Jul 2013If you're a fan of Ford racing history, a Mustang worshiper or even just an avid follower of our yearly SEMA coverage, you may have heard the back story on the Race Red Mustang you see above. Back in 1964, Holman & Moody was tapped by the English Alan Mann Racing Team to race-prep three Mustangs for competition in the incredibly arduous 4,000-mile Tour de France Automobile rally. Competing mainly against Jaguar MkII saloons over 10 days and 17 stages, the H&M Mustangs took the top two places in the Touring class and the first-ever racing win for Ford's pony car.
Though the history of that first Mustang win hasn't been incredibly well known here in the States, the subsequent decades have seen plenty of racy versions of the car come and go. Last year at the SEMA show, we covered the brief debut of this living tribute to that piece of racing lore, the Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Mustang.
This limited-edition Mustang represents a kind of new venture for H&M, as the legendary racing shop has spent the last few decades earning its keep largely by restoring vintage racing cars. The urge to get back into the world of Ford and Mustang was powerful, however, what with the car's 50th anniversary looming and the current generation of 'Stang just about out the door.
