Up for auction is an 1988 GT convertible project car that I did not finish. This car was a parts donor for a kit car. I bought the body because my 89 Mustang had substantial rust. This is an excellent RUNNING project with a nearly new mechanical drivetrain. I have a lot of money wrapped up in parts and work. I have too many projects and this one was selected to go. The car is a clean rust free Texas car with a clean title. The previous owner painted it a horrible red with sprinkled on metal flake. The paint needs to be redone. The body is good with a minor damage to the bottom of the passenger door (see pictures) and the inner fender well was previously damage (see pictures). Other than those areas the body is clean. The frame to the top and hydraulics are all there. I do not know if the hydraulics work. The luggage rack on the trunk is missing. The windshield needs replaced. Most of the emissions is removed, however, the car is 25 years old this year. Now lets get to the good things about this car:
The engine has about 25,000 on major rebuild, World Products Windsor JR heads, Harland Sharp full roller rockers, Ford Motorsport "E" cam, Speed Pro .30 over pistons, 1.5/8 mandrel shorty headers, Melling oil pump and Ford Motorsport street/strip clutch and pressure plate. Engine has stock intake and injectors. Mass air computer and harness came from '89 GT.
The T-5 transmission was rebuilt with new seals, bearings, syncros, 1-2 slider gear, and steel bearing retainer. About 20,000 miles. Rebuilt after engine rebuild.
Traction lock rear diff with 3.55 gears.
All four rear control arms are enclosed/boxed with new rubber bushings. Also, the mounting points on the car are wire welded for strength.
The front control arms have new Energy Suspension urethane bushings and new ball joints. New Energy Suspension urethane bushings in rack and pinion.
The factory convertible bracing/stiffening brackets were riveted and loose. They are now wire welded in place and rigid.
Steeda subframe connectors were also added and welded in place.
Eibach Pro Kit 3510.140 variable rate springs at all four corners.
Walbro 255 lph fuel pump, new, less than 10 miles.
Oversized aluminum Griffin radiator
new fuel sending unit
Hooker Aerochamber mufflers and exhaust. 2.5 inch from headers to back bumper. no cats.
This car runs and drives as is but is NOT street ready. The dash, interior, and wire harness needs finished. I have many extra parts, too many to list. Interior, body skirts, glass, dash etc. Everything I have goes with the car. The car originally had a red interior. I started installing the gray interior out of my old '89. I do not have the original red seats. The engine and transmission have 20,000 to 25,000 miles. The suspension bushings, fuel pump, and sending unit are brand new when I put the car together. This car will make a great car for someone to finish. Big things the car needs; windshield, fabric top, paint, carpet and luggage rack for trunk. The engine runs strong, no noise or smoke. It puts out 55-60 lbs of oil pressure on mechanical gauge. I will test the compression and post the results soon. Please contact me with any question. My reserve is well below the value in parts alone. I can deliver up to 300 miles from my location at a rate of $1.25 per mile (calculated one-way).
On May-24-13 at 14:04:28 PDT, seller added the following information:
As you can see, much of what is left of the fabric top was cut away by the previous owner. The frame is there as well as the hydraulics which I have not wire up and tried. The top lift easily and freely. The pump and cylinders are in place but disconnected. The compression test is #6 cylinder 135 psi, all others 150-152 psi.

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.
Ford recalls 2017 Lincoln Continental for headlight problem
Tue, Oct 11 2016Ford Motor Co. is already recalling the 2017 Lincoln Continental for a headlight problem, the automaker announced Tuesday. The HID headlights may have been assembled with LED lens that don't have the correct lens optics to meet federal visibility requirements for turn signals. Ford says it is unaware of any accidents related to the issue. The company will replace the headlamp assemblies, if needed. The safety compliance recall covers 1,876 Continentals built from June 14 to Sept. 23 at Ford's Flat Rock factory south of Detroit. Most of the cars are in the United States; 49 are in Canada, and one is in a federalized territory. Only about 300 cars are in consumers' hands, a spokesperson said. Customers can use a Lincoln service program where dealers will pick up their Continental, fix it for free, and return it, the spokesperson said. Lincoln has high hopes for the Continental. The flagship sedan uses one of Lincoln's most iconic names and features a luxurious interior, available 400-horsepower V6 engine, and safety features like adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera. Lincoln recently announced an elaborate marketing campaign shot by renown photographer Annie Leibovitz to generate interest in the Continental. In a separate recall, Ford also said Tuesday that 60 Edges from the 2015-16 model year are being recalled to update their antilock braking system module.

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
