So here is my Mustang LX, it was a prior 4 cylinder car. My friends and I call it the MarkStang
I purchased a 1993 LX 4 cylinder car because it was very straight, just with faded paint... knowing that I had planned to do a mod swap. The swap parts came from a 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII. There is soo much done to the car that it would be impossible to write it all down, I will make a quick list... but if you are a serious buyer, shoot me an email and I will answer any questions that you have. The car put down 260 to the wheels at ST motorsports in San Bernadino California... and has run an 8.73 in the 1/8 mile at Irwindale just as I drive it, no powerbrake etc... just wait on the tree and swap pedals and left the car in drive. This car was featured in Carcraft magazine in April of this year. It is a nice running and driving car.... it is not perfect... but looks good enough to take to any car show or mustang show.... or just cruise around.
The day after the car was dyno'd and completed I was hit by another car, it broke my heart... After dealing with the insurance company and providing all the receipts that I had saved, they agreed that the value of the car was in the 12-15K area and paid to have the car repaired completely and repainted completely. It is VERY nice still. I have been driving it for a year since I had it repaired and now it is time for a new project and I don't have room to keep this one too.

No AC needs custom hoses and dryer reinstalled and vacuum hose to HVAC box

Radio doesn't work... don't know why... don't care.

I never hooked up the tach or speedo, I planned to swap to a Florida 5.0 Unit and never got to it, the other gauges work (fuel level, oil press, water temp, Batt)
B&M Shifter for fox adapted to 4r70W Trans
This is a nice car. but with any used car... there is no warranty expressed or implied.

Ford Explorer is America's new favorite police car
Mon, 24 Mar 2014There is a new vehicle that you should keep an eye out for when you're going a little too fast down the Interstate. Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility was the bestselling new law enforcement model in the country last year, and signs show that won't be changing anytime soon.
Ford sold 14,086 Interceptor Utilities in 2013, up 140% from the year before, and 10,897 Interceptor Sedans, up 31%, according to USA Today. Overall, the brand's police sales were up 48 percent, and they were enough to boost the company's law enforcement vehicle market share by 9 points to nearly 50 percent.
The success comes just a few years after it made the decision to finally retire the long-serving Crown Victoria-based cruiser for two more modern vehicles. "We had to reinvent the category," said Chris Terry of Ford Communications to Autoblog. The automaker had to convince police departments that a unibody chassis without a V8 could perform better than a model that had been a law enforcement staple for years.
Ford looks back on 50 years of the Mustang in Detroit
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.
Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.
