1993 Ford Mustang Coupe Black/black 5 Speed 73k Miles on 2040-cars
Fort Mill, South Carolina, United States
Up for sale is my 1993 Ford Mustang Coupe Black/Black with 73,4xx original miles. This is a well documented, two-owner stock coupe. I am the second adult owner of this car and have owned it for the past three years. The car has been fully detailed and is ready to go to it's new owner. I know there are a lot of sellers that are advertising their coupes only to have second thoughts after they see all of the interest. That is not the case here, she is ready to go to a new owner. Please click on the links for pictures and videos: **After i started the listing I noticed that the vehicle history report shows "3 calculated owners", which is incorrect. The NY registration event was when the original owner moved in with family in NY. I am sure the title had to be given to NY DMV when the car was registered in NY, that is the reason it's incorrectly stating "3 Owners". I am the second owner, no doubt. My asking price is $14,800.00, and that includes all of the original documentation and the many parts listed or pictured below. The asking price is a lot less than what i have put into this car, but then again i never expected to get a full return. I appreciate the consideration and I know that you will enjoy owning this car and you should not have to replace anything mechanical, i have replaced or repaired most everything.. The car is located about 15 minutes from the Charlotte, NC airport. Please, call me with any questions, or to set up a date and time to come see it in person. I can and will provide additional pictures and videos to interested parties. My name is Dan and I can be reached on my cell @ 856-371-7513. I will only accept cash or a cashiers check from a local bank where I can verify the funds prior to releasing the title or car. The title is free and clear.I will only hold the car if a deposit is made. If you need to fly in to inspect the car, or want to hire a certified inspector to confirm the condition prior to the sale, i will be more than happy to work with you and will make myself available. Also, if you need or want to hire a transport company to pick up the car, I will also make myself available so the car can be picked up, but you will of course be responsible for any transport costs and insurance. A few extras/bonuses that made this car more appealing to me, and will to the new owner: Only one previous owner, you will be the third. The original window sticker, Plastic floor mats from the dealer, plastic keys, spare set of keys, the id card for the locking lug nut, two audio tapes, the Ford 1993 Mustang brochure, the Mustang’s owner’s manual with the Car dealership sales cards and warranty card. I also have the unopened Child seat locking clip, warranty booklet and three other factory books that came with the car. A little weird, but I saved an Arby’s and Dove Soap coupon that I found under the seats when I vacuumed the car when i first took ownership of it, they are dated with a 1997 expiration date. I also have a folder that is stacked with many receipts. A little history on the car... This mustang was originally purchased from Mountain View Ford in Chattanooga, TN, and then lived most of its life in GA. The original owner was an older gentleman that drove the car to work each day, as most of us would have done back then. A few years before it was offered for sale, the original owner moved in with his family and at that time decided to put the car into storage. The car was offered for sale and I quickly purchased it and had it shipped to me in S.C. where it has remained for the past three years. As noted above I am the second owner; I bought it almost three years ago and have enjoyed restoring and driving it when time and weather allowed. This car has never been raced and has never had any performance modifications to the engine. The only changes to the car are a complete paint restoration, Flowmaster mufflers (original owner installed) and I had the AOD swapped with a WC T5 (Included in the sale is the original AOD with pedal assembly, shifter, cooler lines and torque converter; everything you need to convert it back to original factory specs) Everything else on this car, was and is in its stock form, not even a CAI was installed on this car. The car drives like new and I would not hesitate to drive it across the country. Everything works as it should, no issues at all. There are no accidents that I know of and none were found by the vehicle history. When the car was stripped for paint, the painter found no bondo or repairs to the body, all VIN tags are present. The motor has no performance work done to it at all, it’s all original other than tune-ups..etc. The paint, being three years old is beautiful, although there are a few tiny stone chips that are only visible if you look hard enough and would not be noticeable on any color paint except for black paint.. The interior is near perfect, no stains, fading or tears on the seats, headliner or rug, not anywhere. The frame and underside has no rust and is very clean. All of the electrics work as they should, all bulbs light as they should. The air conditioning works, as does the heat. The airbag is fully functional. I recently replaced the airbag diagnostic monitor do to the backup power supply being depleted after all these years.. The paint is not original as mentioned; it had crazing on the bumpers, hood and roof when i bought it. The car had to be repainted; it wasn't an option for me to keep it in that state, even though the majority of the original paint could have been refinished to look "decent", I decided to get it all done at the same time so it would match. I selected the most reputable paint shop in the Charlotte area to media blast and restore the paint to its original state. I paid $4,567.02 for the paint work (receipts will be provided). The paint work has a fully transferable lifetime warranty, and it’s listed right on the PO I will provide to the buyer. The paint shop that did the paint work on the car has been in business since the 80’s and does full restorations, paint and custom fabrications on very expensive imports. The paint looks amazing, and anyone that has owned a black car knows that it’s tough to make a black car presentable in full sun. Below are a few of the notable maintenance and/or work that was done over the years. This is not a complete list. Again, I have a folder full of receipts on this car. Paint 2-Stage Paint, color matched to factory color. Most of the car was media blasted prior to paint. All of the trim around the front/rear glass, quarter glass, exterior door trim and the side view mirrors were painted at the same time.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
