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 rethinking vehicle launch strategy

Tue, 07 May 2013

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.

2013 Ford Explorer Sport

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
