1986 Mustang / Capri ASC McLaren Convertible If you know anything about these cars, you already know how rare they are and how few where built. In 1986, only 245 where made into 2 seater roadster convertibles basically. Out of that, only 32 where built like the car below -car #227 Jet Black exterior w/ Tan top and Tan Leather the 1986 Model is one of the most sought after models to buy old school 4 eyed look with first yr for real EFI motors that stock, rocked the streets back in the day..even by todays standards they are a blast to drive Great color combo : Black and Gold was probably as successful of a color combo for Mercury/Ford as it was for Pontiacs Trans Ams from 77-81. Its one of my favorites still. Odometer shows 66k on it, and its likely that is original miles. back in the 90s, the car was actually more a show car that went to stereo sound offs and was hardly ever used as a daily driver, but mostly a 2nd fun weekend car. Still rough in areas inside and out, but a true car person can see thru it all and knows that it wouldnt take alot to bring it back to its original glory. This car has been in Tx & or Az its whole life so rust isnt or will never be an issue during its restoration. Its does run and drive, but sat here in the AZ Sun for the last 10 yrs. We cleaned out the gas tank the best we could, installed a new HP Fuel pump and a new battery, changed some fluids and it started right up. Runs well too, but has a few 80s mod issues. Its a fun driving car that gets alot of looks and compliments when you are driving around or go to a car event, but its really not pretty and perfect. The original black paint is really showing its age. DRIVETRAIN: The motor is interesting, not sure if the mods where done at the factory (ASC) or after the car was sold new. It obviously has a GT40 Intake manifold on it, you can see in the pics. You can also see that the car has a MAF conversion. And its done very well, almost as if it was done by the factory somewhere. It could have GT40 heads, not sure how to tell with the valve covers on, but Im almost 100% sure it has a mild cam in it, possibly a E or B303. Hence the reason for the MAF conversion not normally on Mustangs this yr. Havent looked at the Eeck IV ecu yet to see if it was modded, but the injectors are yellow top which I believe to be stock 19#. MAF also looks like a stock size too. That being said, you can hear the cam when the cars idling, and when its cold, it does hunt a little and dies after a bit if you dont help it along. Once it warms up and goes into closed loop, its not as bad. Mustang owners can usually figure out these quirks right away and with todays technology all these minor problems can be solved easier, but they dont keep me from driving the car around at all. The factor AOD was built by Art Carr and works well with the engine mods, making the car a fun driver. The convertor may have about a 2400 stall built in. Being under it today, I dont recall seeing Cats on the H pipe. You can see the Flowmasters on it and it still retains its original OEM stainless Ford tailpipes which I think are one of Fords better ideas :) I havent checked the timing on it, but I did set the TPS sensor to .98 today for obvious reasons. Other then a minor tune up, dont really think the car needs much else for the motor side of it. Everyone knows these 5.0s are almost bullet proof. INTERIOR: is showing its age. Az first took its toll on the original convertible top and when the top started falling apart, rest of the leather and parts of the interior got their share of damage. The Recaros are restorable (and worth doing of course) But even though it needs restoration, the main $ important stuff is still with the car and not gone. IE: Recaros, 140 speedo, Momo steering wheel and more. Manual convertible top frame works and functional as are all the PW . The last owner had a full system in the car but all thats left is the boxed area behind the front seats. A good upholstery shop could restore the interior in a few days. Side glass if I recall is all good, PW do work, but the glass is somewhat loose in the door some, not sure if its because of worn our rollers or what exactly, but with a little guidence they go up and down ok. Although the interior is rough, 90% of all the part you need are there making the restoration that much easier. Luckily, restoration parts are available for these Fox Bodies and even for the ASC cars too. SUSPENSION: Lowered from the factory on what could be Motorsport C springs, struts are older and not too bad. Tires are OLD AND BEAT and needs them ASAP. Brakes and rest of the suspension feel okay but the brakes make a weird noise under the dash near the brake master, but they work fine. Has all 4 of the factory 15" ASC BBS Style mesh gold rims, which are cleaning up well and would be easy to restore. BODY: When they built these cars they put Capri fenders on Mustang bodies. The front just bolted on which was easy but the rear factory wide body style fenders had to be blended in from the factory. The original black paint is pretty bad and you can see most of it in the pics below. But you dont have to worry about any previous repairs/accidents hiding underneath or any rust in the clean rust free AZ body. It does need the ground effects replaced or repaired for a proper restoration. Whats really cool is almost all the unique parts needed for the car are either still on the car or still available. Small area of factory bondo missing near the trunk from when they originally did the conversion. You can tell though the work from the factory was done to almost Ford Factory Specs. Other then the obvious dings and dents, the front spoiler is missing and the dent thats hard to see in the pics is on the pass side behind the pass door, it was pushed in some.. Ft bumper cover has a tear near the bottom too. EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE THE PICS BELOW SPEAK VOLUMES but Im sure I may of overlooked some stuff. Check out over 125 pics below, be patient it may take a minute or 2 for them to all load. Low reasonable Reserve Bid Early and bid smart so you dont lose out !! ALL THE PICS BELOW ARE OF THE ACTUAL CAR YOU ARE BIDDING ON AND TAKEN LAST WEEK
Our older cars are more Probably the BEST represented ASC McLaren on Ebay. I bank with Bank of America, which makes things easy for many out of On Dec-14-13 at 22:28:59 PST, seller added the following information: Some watchers and bidders are thinking this car originally came WHITE with Tan leather. IF thats IS the case, that makes this car even MORE RARE as they only made 12 of those. I thought those cars had white accents in their rims not gold. Ive thought about getting a Marti Report if I can to clarify exactly how it was sold new and some more production info about it. |

2015 Fisker-Galpin Rocket Quick Spin [w/video]
Fri, Aug 21 2015There is no shortage of fast Mustangs these days. Roush and Saleen will tune your ordinary 'Stang into something really special. Ford itself offers hot coupes like the new Shelby GT350. Don't even get me started on the endless aftermarket catalogs full of bolt-on whats-its and performance upgrades. Standing out within the huge crowd of tuned Mustangs is hard to do. But you'll definitely notice this one. "I always wanted to do a Mustang," Henrik Fisker told me as we walked toward his latest creation, the Rocket, parked outside the Inn at Spanish Bay in Pebble Beach, CA. The man knows a thing or two about design, after all. He penned the BMW Z8, as well as the Aston Martin DB9 and V8 Vantage. But this Rocket is, well, ugly. The rear end isn't totally terrible, and those 21-inch wheels are sort of cool, but taken as a whole, it looks like it swallowed something it doesn't like the taste of. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder – or perhaps, the creator – so we'll let Mr. Fisker explain why the car looks the way it does. See the video below for his brief design walkaround. If you can get past the looks, there's a world of performance to unleash, thanks to the boys at Galpin Auto Sports – the same folks responsible for the GTR1 I drove last year. The Mustang's 5.0-liter V8 gets a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger that improves output to 725 horsepower (the torque figure isn't available), and the car's suspension has been thoroughly reworked to help put all that grunt to the ground. It's very good, yet very familiar. Let me explain. Driving Notes Like the stock Mustang, it's really easy to drive. The car fires up with a growl, you move the shifter into first gear, and the action of engagement is as solid as it is in the normal 5.0-liter car. Both the clutch and throttle have a progressive action, so it's super easy to launch the Rocket (sorry). Once you get going, there's a ton of power to unleash. It doesn't smack you in the face right up front, though – the power delivery is smooth and linear. Easy to manage, too, thanks to that slick six-speed manual transmission. Credit Ford (and Getrag) for making a manual that's able to handle so much extra grunt. That said, the Rocket feels like your typical fast Mustang. It goes like hell in a straight line and there isn't a ton of steering feel. Galpin retuned the electronic power-assisted steering, but it's still too light considering the added power of the car.
Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon
Tue, Jan 3 2017The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.

Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.
