1988 LX 5.O litre Mustang Convertible

Body and Interior-  Never Wrecked, all Vin tag stickers are on the correct places showing they are factory ford pieces.  The car has been repainted Once.  The seats have been recovered in original ford Black covers.  Nicely done job. The car has new brakes and After market PONY R wheels in 17x9 rears and 17x8 fronts.  very good fit for the car.  Tires are worn but useable.  The passenger window is off track but both window motors work fine.  The top has no tears or problems and has a new power top motor but the switch has stopped working.  ZERO RUST anywhere on car top or bottom is very clean.  The Battery has been relocated to the trunk.

Motor and Trans-  The motor was taken out and gone through with all necessary parts being replaced.  GT40P heads and a Victor Jr. style intake with Carter racing carb with ProCharger Cold air system have been put on in place of the fuel injection and a Mallory Inline fuel pump with Holley fuel pressure regulator have also been installed in place of the intank fuel pump. Car has MSD ingition with Billet distributor.  After market Billet pulleys.  BBK headers with 2.5 in exhaust with flowmaster mufflers and stainless out the rear.  Car has a Griffin radiator with flex-a-lite 16 in fan and tranny cooler.  ATI AOD trans with Precision Industries 2500-2800 converter with  aluminum ford motorsports driveshaft.  8.8 rear with auburn posi and superior Alloy axles with 3.73 gears. 

Needing addressed- The car is a nice driver but does show wear on paint, tires and just overall age.  The chips and scratches should be shown in pics.  The speedo amp and fuel gauges work.  the A/C is all there but I have not tried to get it working.  The Power top switch needs replaced.  The passenger side window needs put on track.  Door panels are just fair shape. Paint is ok but does have scratches. "shown in pics"  All the expensive items have been replaced just needs cleaned up and driven.  It is just sitting in my garage and I want the room so it must go.  I have been very honest about the car and you are more than welcome to ask any questions or come see the car.

I have had questions about the cars performance and while there has been several thousands of dollars spent on this car to get the drivetrain to this level of quality I have not been able to test and tune the car since its new set up was installed due to my very serious health problems.  I have only driven the car on my street and it does seem to run strong but will need some fine tuning and adjustments as all new assemblies do.  The car is a very good platform for a nice all around performing setup but still needs some work to be completed.  Again I hate to beat up on my own car but I want the buyer to know as much about the car as I can before bidding.  There is about 7 to 8K invested in this car with all the upgrades but my reserve is set super low and will be a steal if someone gets it for what I have set the reserve at, so bid with confidence that this is not a piece of junk someone is trying to pawn off on ebay but will need some work to complete the project.  I also have some new frame connectors that go with the car that I have not installed yet so there is another $200 free gift  :)  

Thanks for looking and questions.  Good luck and God bless you with a Happy New Year.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses

Wed, 25 Jul 2012



Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
