Up for sale is my 1986 Mustang SVO. If you're found this ad, you likely already know what this car it, and what it's got, or have at least researched it. For a vehicle built in the mid 80's, I am still amazed at what it came with and how it still handles, being very tight and responsive. Seeing how things have progressed, it was indeed a car produced well before it's time (yeah "ecoboost" engines, I'm talking about you). And the seats..omg. The seats alone are a work of art and by far the most comfortable and supportive I've ever come across in a vehicle.
I purchased the car 6 years ago from an individual in Texas, with the intention of restoring it, repainting, etc. Instead it has been sitting in storage for the most part. Funny how work, kids, and life in general makes the "fun stuff" so much harder to do.
- What I know about the car -
It lived in Texas it's whole life until I bought it.
Everything on it is original, down to the crap 80's paint.
The top end was rebuilt by the previous owner, and a manual ball style boost controller was installed. The controller is still functional and does what it's supposed to.
It has A/C, which has been converted to R-134 and more importantly, is functional and blows cold.
Previous owner added a magnaflow catback exhaust.
The koni adjuster is still in the glovebox too.
- What I have done to the car -
Installed a K&N on the intake hose (seen in pic, original air box will come with).
Added newer mustang wheels (originals will come with, those to are in very good condition).
Had the clutch replaced with a SPEC 2+.
Replaced driver side spat, which was missing when I purchased.
Installed an Accufab adjustable fuel pressure regulator with an oil filled pressure gauge, bumped the timing up a notch and the fuel pressure up a tad also.
Annnnd in the interest of being up front, honest and making sure you have no nasty surprises (this car is 27 years old after all, it isn't perfect)
- Known issues with the car -
1- It really could use new paint. It has 27 years of driving, pitting on the nose and the normal door dings obtained over those years from inconsiderate people.
2- I believe it needs to have the ignition checked out, or possibly the key cylinder replaced. When the key is turned to ac on, it tends to need to be turned a hair further to switch the battery, fire up the fuel pump, etc. There are times where it takes a couple of tries to start the car, others it fires right up. I believe it is due to this minor issue.
3- When the clutch was replaced, it's possible there is a slight misalignment with something. The drivetrain is rather loud between 2500-3200 rpm's, if you can imagine or know what gear rollover sounds like, that's the best possible description of the noise I can suggest.
4- The steering wheel and gear shift could use a recovering.
5- It will need tires. I spent over a full year out of the country and recently returned, and for obvious reasons, was unable to drive the car while I was gone. One or more of the tires unfortunately has developed a flat spot. It's not unbearable when driving so the choice is yours if you choose to drive it home.
6- The hatch lock needs to checked out or replaced. It's secure and will not open as is, but does not pop open when the button is pushed, and the key doesn't unlock it either.
7- The headlights develop condensation (common), the lower rear spoiler has a small crack (see pic) and the inflatable lumbar supports do not hold pressure for long.
Aside from that, the car it a blast drive and still turns heads (probably because most people don't know what it is). If you pick it up, you could indeed drive it across the country without issue (aside from #2 cropping up at fuel stops). The pictures of the car in this ad are meant the be as unflattering as possible. I want to ensure you see the car as it is, and with no fluff of flair to influence your decision to bid/purchase.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive is a rock star, FedEx tests electric trucks
Thu, Oct 2 2014The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive is in a new music video for I Lived by OneRepublic. The band's singer, Ryan Tedder, has also been brought on as a brand ambassador for the German automaker. OneRepublic will also be performing the song at the Mercedes-Benz Media Night on the eve of the Paris Motor Show. No word if Mercedes plans to offer hordes of screaming teenage fans as an option package with the B-Class Electric Drive. See the video (the car shows up around the four-minute mark) or read more in the press release below. FedEx is testing converted electric delivery trucks with diesel range extenders. Looking to shrink its carbon footprint, the company has converted a handful of trucks as part of a pilot program. In addition to battery packs, each truck is equipped with diesel turbine generators (supplied by Ian Wright's company, Wrightspeed) to provide electricity when the battery is depleted. Because the diesel motors aren't powering the vehicle directly, they can continuously run at their most efficient speed, making the trucks about twice as efficient as those powered by traditional means. Read more at Wired. Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will be 5 to 20 percent more efficient, the company says. The fuel economy gains depend on the particular version of the truck, but the biggest improvement will likely come from the 3.5-liter V6 and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6. Automotive News predicts the F-150 SFE to be rated at 21 mpg city/28 highway/23 combined, which are identical figures to the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. The result could be a noteworthy fuel economy battle between Ford and Ram trucks. Learn more at Automotive News. The US Department of Energy is providing $25 million in funding toward reducing the price of algal biofuels. The goal is to get the price of these renewable fuels below $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019, and less than $3 per gge by 2030. The money will fund projects to develop better algal cultures that produce biofuel and other useful bioproducts, and projects to boost biomass productivity. The DOE says it wants to help develop a "bioeconomy" that provides jobs, helps the environment and ensures energy security. Read more at Energy.gov. This content is hosted by a third party.

Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014
Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).
Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."
