What is the fastest appreciating Mustang of all? The Fox body cars, especially the 1987-1993 5.0 cars with 5 speed manual transmissions, as they are the rarest and most affordable of all. The Fox body cars are now enjoying the "renaissance" of their lives, with values skyrocketing, and parts suppliers running short of original OEM parts for repairs and restorations. Right now,the best segment of the Mustang hobby to be in, is the manufacturing of Fox body resto parts! WHY? The demand is out of this world!
If you missed the meteoric rise of the 65-73 prices and are now priced out of the market, GET INTO THIS CAR NOW! If you ever wanted a rare car, this one is for you! If you ever wanted a factory Hot Rod, this car is for you! If you ever wanted a RARE factory red Mustang, this car is for you!
The color on this car is Vibrant Red, a specific color for the Feature Cars of 1992. You will not see this color on any other Fox Mustang from the factory! Contrasted with White Leather Seats and top, these cars demanded way over sticker price when sold new. Loaded with All the options from Ford, they stickered nearly as high as a Corvette! Some forward thinking Richie-riches bought them for their collections, to be hidden away and enjoyed only for their beauty. Not this one! It has been lovingly enjoyed for 87065 actual miles by me and previous owners, and mildly modified with Ford factory Racing parts: Factory long-tube headers,a 3:73 rear end gear ratio (Very Quick!), Ford Explorer Intake manifold (lots of torque), Hurst 5 Speed shifter (original also comes with the car), and true dual Marauder style exhaust with the Factory polished tips. Catalytic converters are still in place. The photos show it all!...
The body panels are all original, and have the factory VIN stickers on each panel applied by the UAW workers in June 1992. Showing no signs of repaint, it is starting to shed a little clear coat on the right rear 1/4 panel. But painting it is out of the question for me...it's too nice all over, and it's only original once!!
The tires have approximately 1000 miles on them, and still look new with no wear. Brakes are good, engine is as strong as the day it was new, no smoking or noises, and a very small,light leak on the right side of the oil pan where the gasket is a little weak. The transmission shifts perfectly, all 5 gears are strong and smooth. The A/C does NOT blow cold, all parts are present and intact, it has leaked down over the years and needs recharging, and the apparent leak found and fixed. The top is great, with no tears, and the plastic rear window is perfect. It does need a good cleaning, as white shows everything!
All lighting works correctly, Non-factory stereo is great, windows, locks,and power mirrors all work correctly. Cruise control works, power top works, but could use a small amount of adjusting, as I am a perfectionist! Don't get me wrong, it goes up and down as it should, but a convertible top guy could make it close without it making a squeak! Time is my problem, as I am out of town so much.
What does it need?
It has a pin-hole exhaust leak on the passenger side header, and could be easily repaired by swapping out the headers back to the factory originals included in the auction, or the exhaust shop could weld up the hole in minutes.
The rear end gear, as stated is a 3:73, which makes the speedometer read 10 MPH fast at all speeds. In other words,at 45, it shows you are going 55. It could be fixed by any speed shop with a lift for about 50 bucks, but I haven't been able to take it in,as I am out of town a lot.
I mentioned the A/C earlier,it needs a recharge and a leak fixed, but it's all there. But I never ride with the top down and the A/C on, do you?
And last, YOU!
Take a look, one of these just went to almost 12k and didn't sell! You can drive mine home today for $7500!

Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue
Tue, 28 May 2013According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
First-edition Detroit muscle raises millions for charity at Barrett-Jackson
Mon, Jan 19 2015Amidst all the classic metal crossing the auction block each year in Scottsdale, AZ, Detroit automakers have a tradition of donating the first examples of their most enticing new muscle cars, with the proceeds of their sales going towards worthwhile charities. This year, Barrett-Jackson handled three noteworthy examples. The highest price among them was the first Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang with the VIN #001, which raised $1 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. General Motors donated the first new Chevy Corvette Z06 Convertible, the first retail example of the droptop supercar garnering $800,000 for the United Way. Along with the Z06, GM also donated the first new 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan, which brought in $170,000 for Detroit's College for Creative Studies. Although these were the headline Motown muscle machines furnished by the automakers themselves, they weren't the only vehicles auctioned off for worthy causes. A 1950 GM Futurliner bus donated by collector Ron Pratte led the charge when it brought in $4.65 million for the Armed Forces Foundation. Other lots included a custom Jeep Wrangler donated by SEMA ($85k), a new M5 donated by BMW ($800k), a '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst ($140k), '39 Cadillac LaSalle C-Hawk ($410k), Jeff Gordon's 1999 NASCAR-spec Chevy Monte Carlo ($500k) and a Victory Cross Country 8-Ball motorcycle ($180k). All told, the charity lots raised over $8.7 million for local and national charities.
