Up for auction is supercharged 1988 mustang. I bought this car about a year and a half ago, but I have found that its just got a little more than I need under the hood. It is a rush to drive, but I need a weekend cruiser with some go, and this car really should be cruising to the track on the weekends. I am a bit torn about selIing it, but we want to get something that the wife is comfortable driving too. I run the car on 50/50 race/pump gas. It can run fine on just pump gas by simply dialing back the boost retard mouted on the dash. The car has the 5-lug conversion and rims are from an 03 SVT cobra. There are wheel spacers on the front lugs, so they can fit the 17x9" wheels. I havent had a problem with them and a lot of people run them, but I was going to get something skinnier for the front. I'll leave that up to you. Mickey T drag radials in the back and goodyear eagle F1's in the font. The car is just how I bought it, and I will do my best to detail what I learned from the owner who had it built by a race shop in OK. I bought the car 200 miles after the build, and have put about 300 on it so everything that you see is about 2 years and 500 miles old, including the paint. He dumped a ton of $ into it and a house came up for sale that he had to have. I am not a mechanic, but I at least understand most of the terminology. If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them. Please look closely at the pictures as the car is really nice, but not flawless. I do not have a hoist, but you can see that under the car is rust free. The motor is a 302 cleaned out to 306 with all forged internals, and a Vortec V-2 supercharger. The supercharger was used, but was sent in to Vortec for a complete rebuild when the engine was built. The car has been very dependable. It always starts right up and runs great. A few of the non-essentials have been elimitated like heat, AC, wipers and cruise. All of the lights and singals are new and work fine.Below is a list of all aftermarket goodies that make this car something special. The car put out over 700hp on straight race fuel at the crank. 537 hp to the rear wheels.
Trickflow intake and stage 2 cam
ARP hardware
SFI balancer
70mm throttle body
90mm mass air flow senser
flowed 42 lb injectors
Built in 6000 rpm rev limiter
Tremec TKO 600 5 speed manual transmission
Lakewood scatter shield
Aluminum Flywheel
Spec Stage 3 clutch
Chromoly Driveshaft
31 spline axles with an auburn rear end
New disc brakes up front, new drums in back
New monroe shocks in the rear with rear links, and subframe connectors
Tubular front K-member with fully adjustable front coilovers
Stainless 2.5 inch mufflers (I cannot discribe how mean this car sounds...you just have to hear it)
All MSD ingnition (blaster coil, 6AL box, dialable boost retard for street fuel)
Ford Racing Tach with shift light.
Mishimoto Aluminum radiator with electric fan.
Please feel free to ask questions as I am sure I forgot something. The car does have a slight oil leak from the rear main seal. After some reading online I see that the ford 302 is known for that, ecspecially when they are boosted. It does not leak all the time, only when it runs. It has been such a small amount that I have left it alone. The weather stripping and trim could be replaced in some areas, and the interior is nice, but not show quality. The plastic rear bumper cover has a slight bulge in the center that is more obvious in the pictures than in person. The speedometer is not hooked up because it needs an a different plug is needed to go into the TKO vs its original 5 speed that the speedo is meant for.... Again please look at the pictures. Dont be scared off by this stuff. Its all very minor, but as you can see from my feedback I don't want to try to sneak it by you and end up with an unhappy buyer. For my starting bid you would be crazy not to be happy with this car. The drivetrain cost more to build than $6k. Good luck....and if you bid...plan on paying for it!
This is a re-list due to a non paying bidder.

Which car companies are creating new jobs in America?
Fri, Sep 22 2017Since January, automakers have announced investments totaling $9.5 billion in U.S. plants, creating or retaining more than 12,000 jobs. Some of those companies have yet to announce just how many jobs will be created given their investments, with the location of many of those jobs still to be determined. Specifically, the 4,000-job Toyota-Mazda joint venture plant still hasn't announced its location, with numerous states jockeying for it. Hyundai has plans to invest $1 billion but has not announced a jobs number yet. And likewise Ford is investing $1.2 billion in Michigan without specifying a number of jobs. Volvo this week announced plans to add a second line to its factory under construction in South Carolina, spending another $500 million and adding 2,500 jobs to the 2,000 it was already trying to fill. Then Thursday, Daimler announced a $1 billion expansion to its facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce EV batteries and electric SUVs, a move that will add 600 jobs to its hiring this year. Above, we've created a handy pie chart showing you which companies have announced new jobs and how many there will be.

Ford Recalls Nearly 435,000 Vehicles
Mon, Apr 7 2014Ford is recalling nearly 435,000 cars and SUVs to fix rusting frame parts or faulty seats. The biggest of the two recalls covers nearly 386,000 Ford Escapes from the 2001 through 2004 model years. Ford says the subframes can rust, allowing a control arm to separate and hamper steering control. Ford is aware of one crash but no injuries linked to the problem. The SUVs were originally sold or registered in 20 states and Washington, D.C., where salt is used to clear snow and ice from roads. Six Canadian provinces also are included. Dealers will install a reinforcement brace to fix the problem. The Escapes covered by the recall were built from Oct. 22, 1999 through Dec. 19, 2003 at the Kansas City Assembly plant, and from May 1, 2003 through Jan. 23, 2004 at the Ohio Assembly plant, Ford said in a statement issued Monday. They were originally sold or registered in Connecticut, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin, Delaware, Maine, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont, Indiana, Michigan, New York, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. Also covered are Escapes sold or registered in Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland & Labrador. The second recall covers 49,000 Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and C-MAX vehicles from 2013 and 2014. Dealers will replace seat back frames that weren't welded properly. No crashes or injuries have been reported from the problem, Ford said. Recalls Ford
Ford builds one-off 50th anniversary Mustang Convertible for charity
Thu, 08 May 2014At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.
