Relisting due to someone thinking ebay is a fun place to bid on things you cant afford.  He backed out when he found out that shipping is expensive.  Please don't be a fool too.

Up for auction is my 1988 Mustang GT Convertible 5 Speed 5.0 v8 car.

This is a PROJECT VEHICLE.  I just had it inspected and the engine started knocking last week.  Will NEED WORK.

Clutch was also worn but drivable.  I drove it over 1500 miles in the last 2 months leading upto the engine knocking.

5.0 V8, still has the originial emmisions equipment under the hood, rare to find one that hasnt been hacked all apart nowadays.

Showing 40k miles, I believe it to be 140k miles. **Please note the "title issue found" seen above the description is because of this.  These cars only have 5 digit odometers, so when a title gets transffered it could have been recorded as 40k or 140k earlier in its life.  Since its so old now they are exempt, but they still record the mileage.  I believe the car to have 140k miles on it based on my experience of how it drives, how original alot of the parts look and experience with mustangs and the other 70+ cars ive owned.**

The top will need to be redone, as well as the top motor is bad.  The top can be put up and down by hand but it does have a few holes and no rear window. I keep it in the garage so the top didnt matter to me.

The A/C didnt work, but again, i only drove it on nice days with the top down anyways.

The rear window motors are missing, the windows can be put up and down by hand.  The front windows work.

Has brand new headlight set installed 2 months ago.

Car has original black paint and red interior, a great color combination to restore and is in pretty good shape for a 25 year old vehicle but is not perfect.

Will start and move onto trailer, but should not be driven far due to engine knock.


Clear Texas Title in my name and currently registered and inspected.

Car must be paid for within 7 days and picked up within 14.

Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid

Thu, 02 May 2013

No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.

Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines

Sat, 23 Feb 2013


It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.
