UP FOR AUCTION, A TRUE, 2 OWNER, LOW MILAGE (44,950 ACTUAL MILES ) BORN JALAPENO RED WITH CANYON RED AND WHITE LEATHER INTERIOR AND NICE WHITE TOP 1986 MUSTANG GT CONVERTIBLE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS WAS A SOUTH CAROLINA CAR, SO NO RUST ANYWHERE IN OR ON THE CAR. IT WEARS IT'S ORIGINAL PAINT AND UP UNTIL SEPT 2012 IT HAD THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON IT. PAINT IS GREAT EXCEPT THE PLASTIC NOSE IS FADED, NEW OWNER CAN PAINT IT IF THEY WANT TO, I WON'T BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE . EVERYTHING ON THE CAR WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD AND THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE A DREAM, IT EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL MARCHAL FOG LIGHTS AND COVERS ON IT AND THEY ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE DASH HAS SOME CRACKING AS DO THE LEATHER SEATS DUE TO BEING IN THE SUN MOST OF IT'S LIFE, THESE ARE EASY FIXES AND WOULD MAKE THE CAR ALMOST PERFECT. MOST OF YOU WILL KNOW THIS BUT 86 WAS THE LAST OF THE 4 EYED MUSTANGS AND THE FIRST YEAR FOR FUEL INJECTION, THE 8.8 POSI REAR END AND THE ONLY YEAR THAT CAME LOWERED AND WITH UNDERDRIVE PULLEYS FROM THE FACTORY. THIS CAR WAS SPECIAL ORDERED FROM THE FACTORY ( THE REAR WHEEL ABS ) AND CAME WITH EVERY OPTION THAT COULD BE ORDERED. THIS IS A VERY RARE CAR, AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN ADULT OWNED. THE ORIGINAL SPEEDO WAS REPLACED IN JUNE OF 2010 WITH A USED SPEEDO SHOWING I02,994 MILES AS THE ORIGINAL QUIT SHOWING THE MPH AT 41XXX MILES AND WOULD NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. THE DMV PUT THE REPLACEMENT SPEEDO MILAGE ON THE TITLE AND IT WAS TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO CHANGE IT AND I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL SPEEDO. I ALSO HAVE THE REPAIRED MAP POCKETS FOR BOTH DOORS BUT HAVE NOT INSTALLED THEM. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER THE 140 MPH SPEEDO WAS INSTALLED BY ME AS I KEPT RUNNING OUT OF NUMBERS ON THE DIAL WHEN I DROVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE. YOU WILL NOT FIND A CLEANER,NICER, MORE ORIGINAL GT CONVERTIBLE ANYWHERE AND IT WILL ONLY GO UP IN VALUE. YOU CAN DRIVE THIS CAR FROM HERE TO ANYWHERE YOU WANT WITH NO ISSUES AND IT IS EASY ON GAS IF YOU KEEP YOUR FOOT OUT OF IT, 18-20 MPG CITY, 21-23 CITY/HIGHWAY COMBINED, 25 PLUS MPG ON HIGHWAY IF YOU USE COMMON SENSE, I GOT A LITTLE OVER 26 MPG DRIVING FROM ASHLAND VA TO VA BEACH VA AT 75 + MPH. THIS IS A GREAT CAR BUT NEED MONEY TO BUY MY DAUGHTER A BETTER CAR AS HERS HAS OVER 210,000 MILES ON IT. THIS CAR IS APPRAISED AT OVER $10,000 AND INSURED FOR $18,000 AND WORTH EVERY PENNY OF IT. MY RESERVE IS SET TO REFLECT THE CONDITION OF THE CAR, SO DON'T LET THIS ONE GET PAST YOU AS YOU WON'T FIND ANOTHER LIKE IT ANYWHERE AND YOU CAN DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. THE RULES: IF YOU HAVE A SCORE OF 10 OR LESS YOU MUST CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING OR YOUR BID WILL BE CANCELLED, I WILL ACCEPT PAYPAL FOR THE $500 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT ONLY AND THE REST WHEN YOU PICK CAR UP OR HAVE IT PICKED UP.

Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage
Mon, 17 Mar 2014There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.
