For auction here is my 1987 Mustang LX with the rare T top option. The t top was discontinued in September of 1987 so not many Mustangs of this body style were optioned this way, especially the LX. I have owned the car since 2006 and have done a lot of work to it over the years. I have installed the complete drivetrain from a 1992 LX so the car has the mass air flow 8 spark plug 2.3 and the computer controlled automatic transmission. The engine runs well and has fresh plugs, wires, and crank sensor. The transmission works well in all gears and has a fresh filter, fluid, and front pump seal. The car is fully driveable. It has been restored in the original Oxford White and looks very nice, but does have some problem areas. There are a couple small bubbles in some areas and the lower part of the front bumper was damaged when the car was hauled home when the crank sensor had failed. It is registered as an antique in PA and the plate can be transferred if desired to a PA buyer. It is also listed as reconstructed, however I do not know why, and the title is in my name. The car is lowered with Intrax springs all around. The steering rack is a 15:1 unit and the car has V8 sway bars. The wheels are custom painted Turbo Coupe 16X7s and the tires are 205/55/16s in good condition. The front brakes are converted to 11" rotors with V8 spindles, and most of the hardlines on the car are replaced. The interior was originally Blue, and has been converted to Black using mostly original black parts. There are some interior items that still need finished such as the headliner, the door panels will need small filler panels, etc. The lower rear seat is the original one dyed, and I am including an original black one that will need the fastening modified since it is a 1992 seat. The heater core is new and the heat works well. The AC is not hooked up and is missing a few underhood items. The car has all 1992 wiring harnesses in it including the dash, so the mileage shown at 138K is from the donor car. This car has 140K but all mechanicals have 138K. The rearend is an 8.8 unit with 3.55 gears and a Traction Lok differential with additional clutches. The doors are from a 1987 LX that had manual windows and locks which is what I wanted. I will include the original doors if desired which are all power, but they are rusty. The t-tops leak, so I purchased new seals that I never installed, and those are included as well. The original key is included for the t-tops and all the keys for the doors and ignition work well. Please review all photos and ask any questions, and please only bid if you have good feedback and want to own the car. I wanted to add that the car has a BBK 155 LPH fuel pump, and the chassis has been painted with POR-15. The door hinges have all been rebuilt with new pins and bushings.

Ford recalls 1.3 million Fusions, MKZs: Steering wheels could come off

Wed, Mar 14 2018

When driving a car, the steering wheel is only expected to move in a rotational fashion, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. When it moves in some other direction, something is wrong, and when it moves the wrong way enough that it is no longer attached to the steering column, that's a really, really bad thing. And apparently, according to a recall issued by Ford, there are over 1.3 million Ford Fusions and Lincoln MKZs that are at risk of this happening. And at least two accidents and one injury have been attributed to the issue. Ford says the problem is that the steering wheel bolt that keeps the wheel attached to the column might not provide enough torque, resulting in the bolt slowly loosening and working its way off the column. The good news is that the fix is really simple. Ford will install a larger bolt with more threads along with a larger nylon patch to keep it all locked down. The fix is completely free to owners. Cars affected by the recall include 2014 to 2017 Fusions built built at the Flat Rock plant in Michigan between August 6, 2013, and February 29, 2016. Model year 2014-2018 Fusions and MKZs built at the Hermosillo factory in Mexico are also affected. So if you have one of those sedans, please get in touch with your local dealer to have the issue addressed. Related Video:

Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
