The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Overall the car is in excellent condition, mechanically it is near perfect. All flaws are detailed better in the description, but the front tires are getting old, there is some paint oxidation on the front and rear bumper panels, and there is a small dent on the bottom of the passenger door. The rest of the paint is great, but does show some signs of age since it is a 96. Please read the entire description and look at all of the pictures! Also ask questions if you are unsure about anything."

This is a beautiful 96 Mustang with less than 80,000 miles! The car is 100% original and rust free with a black leather interior and a 5-speed transmission. One good thing about this car is that it has never been messed with and altered with a bunch of after market parts and still retains factory reliability. The car has never been beat on which is obviously very uncommon for a mustang. The proof for this is that close to 80,000 miles the original tires from 96 were finally changed and not because the tread was gone, but because they were dried out and started to crack.

This car has also been recently maintained and updated so whoever buys it will be able to drive it without the need to do anything. Here is a list of recent updates:
6/13/13 74,603 miles - Kuhmo AST tires on the rear ($292)
6/20/13 75,204 miles - Motul Engine Clean oil flush, oil change with Royal Purple Oil ($74 for filter and oil) and transmission fluid change with Royal Purple Synchomax ($68 just for fluid)
6/25/13 75,676 miles - NGK Laster Iridium Premium Plugs ($86 not including labor)
7/5/13 Gas Mileage Check, 24.78mpg with 240 miles driven at 75mph


Here is a break down to the best of my knowledge of each area of the car. ALL know issues will be addressed!

Engine - All original, ZERO problems, starts right up, runs very strong and smooth, no missing, idles perfect.
Engine accessories - Belt tension pulley occasionally squeaks but goes away once the car is warmed up.
Transmission - Shifts 100% perfectly, synchronizers are great, no issues at all.
Interior - All gauges work, no check engine lights are on, the radio has been replaced with a cd player, black leather that is in excellent condition for a 96. The dash and door panels are literally brand new in appearance, and the carpet is very nice too. The only flaw with the interior is that although the carpet is very nice, you can tell that people have driven the car before meaning that for a 96 its probably about the best you can get.
Suspension - The car rides excellent with no complaints, but there is a squeak in the front passenger side during slow speeds when there are bumps. The car drives down the road straight too but will need any alignment as some point because the steering wheel is slightly off while driving straight.
Body - The body itself is in great shape and all of the lines and body panels line up perfectly. The passenger side door has a small dent/scratch on the bottom rear corner from where a vehicle slightly bumped into it in a parking lot. There are 2 pictures showing the damage.
Paint - All of the metal panels look great as far as the paint goes, but keep in mind the paint is from 96 so it does show some age but still shines bright and looks great! There is some oxidation on the plastic front/rear bumper panels and I took several pictures of that too.
Tires/brakes - Rear tires are brand new, the front ones will need replaced somewhat soon. The brakes have life left as they don't make any noises and the car stops just fine!
Other - The A/C does work! It blows very cold! There are power windows and locks as well.

If you have any questions about anything please feel free to contact me and I will respond as soon as possible.

Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going

Tue, 13 May 2014

Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works

Wed, Oct 21 2020

With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and “shatterproof” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique “frunkgate” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.

How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.
