You are bidding on a restored 1988 LX Notchback with a fully forged 408W motor and Magnum T56 Transmission. I bought this vehicle used in 2008 in Hastings, Michigan as I decided to do a Fox body resto mod after a few New Edge mustang projects. There is none and never has been rust on the vehicle. It was stripped to bare metal for a complete show car paint job in 2012. Single stage was used in the engine bay. The paint is perfect minus one chip on the hood just under the front leading edge. The motor's horsepower is yet unknown, however estimated above 450 and runs on pump gas. The engine is tuned via a handheld Anderson Ford Motorsports PMS tuner with piggyback computer system; Ver 4. The interior was completely restored with TMI Products leather and foam with a new headliner and package tray. The carpet was Mass Back new from Late Model Restoration. The windshield and rear window is all new glass and tastefully tinted. The dash material is still stock as well as the console with the exception of the custom gauges from Florida 5.0. The wheels are Shelby 18" rims wrapped in Potenza RE 760's (275/40/18; 255/35/18). The suspension is the Maximum Motorsports Maximum Grip package for this year Fox Body and grips like it is on rails. The exhaust system is Hooker Super Comp 1 7/8" Headers through a 3" Catted Custom X-pipe through flowmaster series 50 mufflers. The tail pipes were left deleted for suspension clearance and race appearance. The Magnum T56 transmission was purchased new from AMP Performance in Phoenix, AZ with a Quicktime bell housing and short throw shifter. The RAM HD 800Ftlb clutch glues the tranny to the motor when engaged via a billet clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster. The Cervini hood covers the 408W with a custom chrome hood arm for showing the motor off at car shows. One exception to perfection is the limits of the AFM handheld tuner. No tuner in my immediate area is experienced in this system. I have tuned it for drivability and longevity and 14.7:1 idle and cruise driving. WOT is tuned to a comfortable 11.5:1 from 2500-6000 RPM via the Innovate Wide Band gauge mounted nicely under the climate control. The only complaint in the tuning I have is that it is a little cranky after hot starts for 60 seconds, then runs completely normal. This is due to the limitations of the PMS tuner, my personal knowledge, the 408ci and the Ford EEC IV A9L computer. This could be rectified with a qualified tuner burning a chip for the vehicle for about $400-$450. Not something in close proximity to my location right now. Also, the electric control switch of the side view mirrors and rear window defrost has been disabled. There has yet to be a radio reinstalled in the blanked out dash panel where the wideband gauge is mounted. The vehicle is being auctioned as is with deposit due upon auction close. Shipping is the financial and arrangement responsibility of the auction winner. This Notch is great. Its time for me to move on to another project. Fun to drive, turns every head on the 18 mile trip to work. May cause symptoms of drooling and envy among owners of lesser equipped vehicles. 90% of parts receipts available. Remaining purchase items not recorded were minor trinkets (vacuum hoses, miscellaneous fasteners, etc.) Details below. Good Luck.

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a track-day weapon with 500 hp

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Ford promises more than 500 horsepower and a torque peak above 400 lb-ft.
The wait is finally over. After months of spy shots, rumor and innuendo, Ford has officially pulled the wraps off its new Shelby GT350. Judging by the spec sheet and the promises being made - especially that the Shelby GT350 will be "an all-day track car that's also street legal" - the wait appears to have been worth it.

Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.
