This car is turn key right now but not completely finished. I have a 1988 mustang convertible 5.0. It had the 302 motor and the t5 5 speed tranny. The paint is pretty good . It does have some little dings and some little chips but its not bad. This is the 2v cleveland. I did a complete 351c 5.7 swap. The motor was built by Douglas machine in Gardnerville NV. the motor might have 20 miles on it. I dropped it in last year with fresh markings on the crank. The motor was $2200 to build I have a receipt for my purchase price of $1400.  It's 10 to 1 compression, baja beast moderate cam, keith black pistons, and stock 2v cleveland heads. The car is dirty its just been sitting in the garage but will clean when sold. the transmission is a built c4 with tranny pan  good for 700 horse with a tiji boy torque converter and a trans brake. It's a 3500 stall. The torque converter was $800 by itself. Tranny was about $3000 it is bullet proof. It has about 10 passes on the track in Fallon NV. has brand new 31 spline alloy axles. 411 gears with posi traction. The carb is a holley 800 cfm double pumper and is way too much carb for this car. It needs a nice new 650. This is the reason the car is not running 100%. It's a little sluggish and running too rich.The AC is deleted. The power steering pump is brand new and in the car but it is bypassed at the moment. Billet aluminum V groove pulleys. The shifting linkage is loose but it will still shift into gear and park but at times it's tough finding reverse. It just needs a little adjusting.  Inside the car there's a cluster gauge with the water temp and oil pressure. The water temp is not hooked up. This car does have a CD player that works. I have a custom made shifting bracket with a B&M pro stick shifter with a trans brake button and B&M shifter cable. There's a light up toggle switch to turn the trans brake on and off. Interior carpet and front seats are in good condition. The back seat has a seat cover and faded back rest. I also have the complete convertible top frame with hooks and latches. There's no material on the frame but I have a brand new canvas easy on top with glass window from Convertible Top Guys with receipt, strips and pads. I paid around $600 for it. I have extra convertible pump motors and cylinders to operate the top. Car has duel exhaust and flow masters 3in. all the way back. Hedders are long tube. Battery has been re-routed to the trunk and has the battery box. It has chrome cobra 18in rims with Nexus Tires with good tread. The fog lights don't work but all others(lights&signals) do. All new fittings in the gas tank to convert from fuel injection to carberated All new heavy duty fuel line. I've spent a lot of money on wires, hoses, fittings, seals and other small things for this vehicle. The car will need to be haul by trailer because it's not complete. The car has not been registered for a year and I have the title in hand. The car has a low reserve price. If you're serious about buying please send me a message with a phone number and we can talk more in depth about it. I can send you more pics that are better and can clean it up first. These are not the best.

Is that the Ford GT Le Mans racer in the background of this Forza video?

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Shortly after the reveal of the new Ford GT in Detroit a couple of weeks ago, Microsoft announced that it was putting the new American supercar on the cover of the upcoming sixth installment of the Forza Motorsport video game series. Now it has put out a video of the process of digitizing Dearborn's latest. Whether you're into Detroit steel (or carbon fiber and aluminum in this case), exotic supercars or video games, the video is worth a watch in and of itself. But our eyes were focused on something else. In the background of one shot (around the 1:49 mark) you can see a design board with renderings of what looks to be the rumored racing version of the GT – complete with reshaped air intakes, deeper side sills, a bigger rear wing and a central rear fin like you'd find on the latest LMP1 racing prototypes. It wouldn't be the first time we've caught wind of the prospect of the Blue Oval's new supercar going racing. We first heard of the plans last October, further reinforced in December with reports of the new GT coming to Detroit. And as we reported just a couple of weeks ago following the supercar's reveal, a return to Le Mans could be in the cards – which would be fortuitous timing, since next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the original GT40 scoring its landmark 1-2-3 finish in the 24-hour race.

Ford pranks unsuspecting blind dates with Mustang GT and stunt driver

Thu, Feb 12 2015

There's 'speed dating,' that ludicrous get-to-know-you ritual devised by The Inquisition of Mating, and then there's 'dating at ludicrous speed,' which is a better description of what Ford has done in this latest video for the 2015 Mustang GT for your Valentine's Day enjoyment. The Blue Oval used a professional stunt driver to hook six guys into going on a little car trip, but the setup is the key – she pretends she's not that good at driving, until she's really good at it. You can check it out above. Kudos to the guy who goes from "You might want to shift again" to "That's what I'm talking about!" without any question. And the ninja.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
