 1989 FORD MUSTANG GT 5.0 Liter High Output V8
Only option this car does not have is rear window defogger, probably due to it being an Arizona car!
I'm the 2nd owner bought from a used car dealer here in Phoenix AZ, I bought it in '94 and drove it daily till 2008. I parked it and had the title marked as "STORED", this way there would be no problems registering it when I was ready to do some repairs or turn it into a street rod as I had planned to do when I parked it. It was covered most of the 5 years it has been stored and had regular starts and runs until the battery went dead. I put in a new battery and some fresh gas and it fired right up! No leaks even after 5 years when I moved it away from the spot I saw not 1 drop of anything on the concrete! I always had repairs done at a Ford Dealership directly across the street from my job. I think I have all the receipts. I have the original car stereo and amp but I didn't bother to reinstall it since I'm sure that the new buyer will not bother to use it. The car was used in car stereo competition here locally and won a trophy. There are some upgrades to the door panels making it possible to mount 2 - 6'5" speakers plus a tweeter in the front door area, with the mounting at an angle to point the speakers upward towards the listeners ears making a dramatic improvement in sound staging. The car has a very straight body and decent interior always had sheepskin covers on the seats and never had any cigarettes smoked in it. The pictures will show any closer details of any imperfections in the body including a crack in the passenger side taillight cover, a crack in the windshield, cracks in the center counsel plastic.
 It does need a few repairs to make before it will be in perfect driving order. One of them is a worn lower control arm bushing on the drivers side, the heat and sand grit tends to wear on these things, I have replaced the passenger side and have the part for the drivers side waiting to be installed. The reason I didn't install the drivers side is because the transmission developed a problem with 5th gear, when you shift into 5th gear it just freewheels, it spins but is not transferring power through the drive train. I'm not sure if the pin that holds the gears in place sheared or if there is something else wrong. It doesn't make any noises or grind it just doesn't engage the drive. Those are the only problems that exist as far as need to be fixed issues. Of course there are things that could be upgraded as with any car with higher mileage, but that's purely up to the buyer 's preferences and not really causing any real problems.
  The car is all stock and has not been raced around or driven hard, I never even got 1 speeding ticket with this car, it was always washed and had the oil changed regularly at 3000 miles. It was used mainly for a car stereo installation which lead to an upgraded alternator and custom panels. The stereo weighed about 300 Lbs with all the extra wires boxes speakers and batteries, which made the car much slower than others. I knew this and drove it as such. I have also replaced the clutch & throw out bearing, radiator, both the MAP & MAF sensors (costly little items), the fuel pump & fuel filter, the drivers side door handle was upgraded to an all metal handle, both door lock motors (pins), Mirror switch in the center counsel, rotors, brakes, smog pump, water pump, fuel injectors, the Top Engine intake was cleaned, new wires plugs and rotor, good belt, new struts, tires are a little bit larger than they should be but they are in decent shape. BF Goodrich 15" 50 series "L" sized, rub on frame in front when the wheel is turned all the way. I have a few spare tires that will go along with, also I have the original Cold Air Intake Box and K&N Filter, it now has an upgraded K&N round filter on it due to not wanting to deal with the stock box.
  It would make an excellent candidate for anyone who has a dream of building up a Fox Body Mustang
all of the parts are there and the body is straight & rust free
Most of the parts that are worn are the same parts that would be replaced in a build anyway, (springs, suspension, bushings, transmission, motor build up)
That's why I held onto it for so long, recently I was laid off from my job of 6 years and found myself faced with making a choice. The Home Owners Association here has already caused a big problem with it and I have been left with no choice since I have no cash to start the build now, I have decided to let it go!
The title has been marked as "STORED" so there will be no problem with the buyer when they decide to register it, no fines or any extra cost. This car has never failed an emissions test ever, not even close!

Toyota sells six of 10 of hybrids in California

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.
Want more? We'll let Bill Fay, Toyota's group vice president and general manager of sales lay the smack down:

How Ford hid the 2015 Mustang from spy photographers

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Now that we've finally seen the 2015 Ford Mustang, it's fun to go back and look at the spy shots we spent months pouring over, trying to dissect what was under all the camouflage. For the most part, Ford did a good job of concealing the car from spy photographers, and it released a video showing how much work went into doing so.
As crude as the Mustang's camo looked, all of the hard plastic, foam, vinyl and ratchet straps were actually created and put in place by a specific design team. The whole idea was to hide the car's identity, but it certainly ended up acting as a magnet for attention, too. According to Ford's press release, it took less than an hour for spy shots to appear online after the car was taken on public roads for the very first time - this is likely in reference to our first official spy shots of the Mustang from June, shown in the gallery below.
Scroll down for a press release and video, which shows footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang testing with minimal camouflage. This is probably the same track session where we got our first look at the Mustang's face back in August.
