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.

Ford recalls 382k vehicles across six campaigns

Wed, Sep 30 2015

Ford needs to repair a total of 381,633 vehicles in North America across six newly announced campaigns, including five safety recalls and one compliance recall. By far the largest of these campaigns covers the 342,271 examples of the 1998-2003 Windstar to double check an earlier recall repair. Among these, 283,413 are in the US and 58,858 are in Canada. The combination of corrosion and stress can cause cracks in the rear axle and eventually lead to the part to snap completely. The company reports a small number of accidents might be connected to this, but there are no injuries. The minivans were recalled for this issue back in 2010, and it was investigated by NHTSA. According to Ford's latest announcement, the reinforcement brackets on some of these models might not have been installed correctly. This time, dealers will perform an inspection. Minivans with incorrectly installed brackets will get a new rear axle. The rest of the owners will be offered a deal to replace the part at a reduced cost. The next largest campaign covers 36,857 examples of the 2015 F-150 to fix a problem with the adaptive cruise control. Specifically, there are 33,481 affected trucks in the US, and 3,376 in Canada. According to Ford, "when passing a large, highly reflective truck" the radar in the system can misidentify a semi as being in the same lane as the pickup. The collision warning system would then activate, slowing the F-150. There's one report of an accident with this happening but no injuries. The fix is simply an update to the adaptive cruise control module software. Ford also has a recall for 1,477 examples of its 2016 F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models, and they're all located in the US. A manufacturing issue might allow the trucks to shift into reverse without the driver first applying the brakes. There are no reports of any accidents from this, though. To repair the problem, the models get a new transmission shift control bracket and an adjustment to the shift cable. The Blue Oval's safety compliance recall covers 708 examples of the 2016 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, including 658 of them in the US, 28 in Canada, and 22 in Mexico. On these models, a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank could allow it to crack in a crash, which isn't allowed under federal rules. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires. The fix will be a new fuel tank for all of them. The company is also repairing 251 units of the 2015 Taurus and Lincoln MKS, plus the 2016 Explorer.

2015 Ford Focus gets more Aston-y [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

With more and more members of the Ford brand adopting a new familial face, the Focus has been left looking like an odd man out. At the Geneva Auto Show, though, it properly rejoined the family, adopting the now familiar Aston Martin-ish grille that's proliferated throughout the range.
Overall, we're liking the refreshed Focus' look. Aside from the new grille, the headlights have been restyled and now look like elongated versions of the lamps on the Focus ST. Functionally, those headlamps are bi-xenon units, complete with an adaptive front lighting system. Out back, the rear retains the same overall look, which has been smoothed out for 2015.
In the cabin, the second-generation of Ford's much-maligned Sync system makes its debut. Sync 2, as it's called, is supposedly more intuitive than the first-gen system. Ford is promising "one-shot" navigation functions for the system. Saying "I'm hungry," should bring up a list of nearby restaurants. Of course, we'll be reserving final judgment until we can test the new system in person.

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
