1986 Ford Mustang GT

Up for auction is my 1986 Ford Mustang GT. I have had this car for over ten years and have enjoyed every bit of it. I know the car's history and like to show you this to represent that this car hasn't changed many owners or tinkered on here and there by multiple people. I bought in July 2003 from my employer. He bought it for himself in North Carolina about five years prior. It was completely stock and unmolested besides an exhaust. During his ownership he had rebuilt the stock T-5 five speed and had the car completely repainted.
When I bought the car it was still factory as they get, minus the exhaust.

  • In late 2004 I installed the welded sub frame connectors, lowered the car with Ford Racing "C" springs, Steeda Tri-Ax shifter, and installed FRRP 3.73 gears.
  • 2005 the car received 17" FRRP Cobra R Silver Wheels and the 87-93 rear quarter windows
  •         2006 was the year for the engine upgrade. It was built with another block, so I could still drive it.
347 SCAT Stroker Forged Pistons @ 10.5:1 Compression 
Comp Cams Xtreme Energy XE274 .555/.565" 112LSA
185 AFR CNC Aluminum w/ upgraded valve spring to accomodate the cam specs
Crane 1.6 Full Roller Rockers held solid with a CAT rocker stud girdle
Fully ported GT40 lower intake and Comp Cams Polyer Powerbox Upper
70mm Professional Products Throttle Body
76mm C & L Intake Elbow with MAF calibrated to 30lb/hr injectors
Shorty Headers
Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch (Awesome holding, even better pedal feel!)

Cowl Hood installed to clear the intake.
 To help the new stroker breath better, over the winter of 2006-07, I installed 1-3/4" BBK Long Tube Headers and a BBK X-Pipe
Over the winter of 2007-08, the aluminum radiator and Taurus fan were installed, with auxiliary P/S cooler and the five lug conversion was completed using:
  • 94-98 Mustang Axles and Rear Discs
  • 2000 Front Spindles with Dual Piston PBR calipers.
  • KYB 4-Way Adj. Front Struts
  • FRRP Parking brake cables
  • AFS 17"x9" 03-04 Cobra rear wheels w/ 275/40R17 tires
  • AFS 17"x8" 03-04 Cobra front wheels w/ 245/45R17 tires
I won't lie and say the car was never raced. With modifications as such, what would be the point of not enjoying the power? It was raced VERY occasionally, not every weekend or even once a month.  Including the time before the engine was built, it's been down the track in my possession only 4 times. I have all the times slips from when the engine was built. 12.5 @ 112 on street tires. The suspension is more geared toward handling so I'm sure with sticky tires and a drag suspension, it could very well be in the high 11s is desired. Also I never trailered the car. Always driven there AND back. Reliability.

The stock T-5 transmission was never made to handle much more than the factory power plant, as many may know, so in the spring of 2012, I installed a FRRP Super Duty T-5 transmission. While it was on the jack stands for the transmission install, an SLP Loudmouth cat back exhaust system was put on as well.

Just a month ago, I installed a new rack and pinion and had the car aligned.  

This car you can truly get in and enjoy the ride.  It goes down the road with no pulling or vibrations. It's not a show car by any means, but it is super clean. There's very minor flaws that come along with a car that's actually driven. The mileage will go up as I still drive it.

Here's a quick video of the car idling with a quick blip of the throttle.


If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. For what has been invested, the reserve is very modest.  You couldn't build a car like this at that price!

It's Official: Ford Names Mark Fields Its Next CEO

Thu, May 1 2014

Alan Mulally, the man who transformed Ford Motor Co. from a dysfunctional money-loser to a thriving company, will retire July 1 and be replaced by Mark Fields, the current chief operating officer. During his eight-year tenure at Ford, Mulally gambled all of the company's assets on a credit line that kept Ford out of bankruptcy, then used a simple "One Ford" plan to change the company's culture. He was hired away from aircraft maker Boeing Co. in 2006 by Bill Ford, who at the time was running the company. Fields, 53, has been in charge of Ford's daily operations since December of 2012 and was widely expected to one day ascend to the top job. The change in leadership is taking place about six months ahead of schedule, but Ford said that was based on Mulally's recommendation that the new leaders were ready. "Alan and I feel strongly that Mark and the entire leadership team are absolutely ready to lead Ford forward, and now is the time to begin the transition," Bill Ford said in a statement Thursday morning. Bill Ford, the company's executive chairman, is the great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford. Mulally, 68, was trained as an aeronautical engineer. He spent 36 years at Boeing - and was president of the company's commercial airplane division - when Bill Ford lured him to the struggling automaker eight years ago. Mulally overcame skepticism about being an outsider in the insular ranks of Detroit car guys by quickly pinpointing the reasons why Ford was losing billions each year. Mulally put a stop to the infighting that had paralyzed the company and instituted weekly management meetings where executives faced new levels of accountability and were encouraged to work together to solve problems. It took two years for Mulally to turn the company around, but since 2009, Ford has posted pretax profits of $34.5 billion and its shares have more than doubled. Fields was one of the executives passed over when Mulally got the top job in 2006. When he was named COO in 2012, Bill Ford said Fields' decision to stay at Ford and learn from Mulally showed a lot of fortitude and has made Fields a better leader. "There was a lot of speculation about whether he was capable. To his great credit, he stuck to it, he learned from it and showed tremendous fortitude in grinding through an incredibly difficult process," Bill Ford said. This marks the second change in leadership at the top of one of the Detroit automakers this year.

2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).

Spy shooter claims proof of upcoming aluminum Ford F-Series Super Duty

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford has already confirmed that the 2015 F-150 (pictured above) was just the beginning for its more extensive use of aluminum. CEO Alan Mulally said it himself during the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. We've even already seen the future Raptor testing with an aluminum body. But a recent discovery from an intrepid spy photographer might indicate that the lightweight metal is coming to the Blue Oval's Super Duty pickups in their upcoming generation, as well.
According to Automotive News, a spy shooter in Colorado spotted a prototype for the next-gen F-350 testing. He happened to have a magnet on hand and got close enough to check the truck out. When he held it up to the metal in the bed, it didn't stick, which signaled to him a switch from steel to aluminum.
Obviously, this claim raises some questions. Given that it was a test vehicle, one possibility is that the Blue Oval is just evaluating the feasibility of switching to aluminum for the Super Duty trucks, not necessarily committed to it yet. Ford has been testing it quite exhaustively, after all. In fact, much of the rest of the truck in question was covered in camouflage, so it's possible that the magnet failed to work along the rest of the body not because it was aluminum, but because it wasn't powerful enough to get through the disguising material. Thus, the lightweight metal's use could be far less substantial than on the new F-150. Still, it was a clever idea for the cameraman to check things out and might have given us the first hint about brand's next heavy-duty models.
