Up for bidding is my pride and joy, a rare 1998 Chrome Yellow Cobra. The only reason for selling is to purchase a new Mustang. This car started out as a bone stock Cobra upon my purchasing it, and it was tastefully modified with parts from the company I work for, Latemodelrestoration.com We used the car for various instructional videos on modifying and restoring this platform. It is also featured on the front of our latest catalog. I have enjoyed the car, but it is time to move on to the next project. Who ever wins the auction for this car will be purchasing a car that has become common place on Latemodel Restoration advertisements and videos on our Youtube Channel and it receives positive attention everywhere it goes. It is mechanically 100% and I would trust it to take me anywhere. When I set out to make this car my own, the modifications we're done to be subtle, yet update the car at the same time. Cosmetically the car received chrome 18x9 and 18x10 Saleen Style wheels, with brand new Nitto 555 tires. The tires have less than 300 miles on them. No curb rash of any kind. The suspension was refreshed with new bushings, Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs, Tokico HP shocks and struts, and J&M Caster Camber Plates. The handling and ride and drive is excellent and solid as a rock. It's one of the best riding Mustangs I have ever driven. As far as drivetrain goes, I kept it simple with a K&N air filter, BBK offroad H pipe, and Flowmaster American Thunder Catback. The car sounds great and will also come with the stock catted H pipe if you live where emission testing is done. It still has its factory 3.27 gears so its great on the highway and still gets great gas mileage. All fluids are fresh and no leaks of any kind. The transmission is grind free and solid with a MGW short throw shifter. The factory shifter will be included as well. Cosmetically, it is a wreck free, rust free Texas car. The paint is nice with no dents or dings of any kind. All weatherstripping is still nice and soft as well. The interior is bone stock and in excellent shape. It still has that leather smell and has not been smoked in. The stock mach 460 stereo is still there and sounds great. The CD player and tape deck still function as they should. The car truly needs nothing and if you are looking for a daily driver, or car to take to the car shows, it will perform well for you. I have set the reserve respectfully and would like the car to go to a good home where it will be enjoyed. With cold AC, and hot heat, it is ready to go. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Ebay will not allow me to post video links directly on here, so shoot me an email, and I'll be more than happy to email the videos of the car to you, or you can go to youtube and search for "Karson's Cobra", and the video's will come up for you. Good luck and Happy Bidding! -Karson

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Junkyard Gem: 1973 Mercury Marquis Brougham 4-Door Pillared Hardtop
Tue, Nov 7 2023Ford's Mercury Division debuted the Marquis in the 1967 model year, as a sporty coupe based on a stretched Ford LTD chassis. When the LTD got an update for 1969, so did the Marquis, and production of that generation of the top-of-the-line Mercury continued through 1978 (the Grand Marquis hit streets the following year). The 1969-1978 Marquis was a big, imposing land yacht, and the Brougham version came absolutely loaded with affordable luxury. Today's Junkyard Gem is a Marquis Brougham from the first year of the Malaise Era, found in a Phoenix self-service car graveyard recently. This car appears to have spent decades sitting outdoors in one of the harshest climates in the country, and so it's in rough shape. The vinyl top received the full thermonuclear treatment and is mostly obliterated by now. The interior got thoroughly cooked as well. Still, its original opulence shines through if you use some imagination. What hurts is that this car was packed with most of the good options, including the mighty 460-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor. The price for the 460 was just $76 in this car, or around $548 in today's money. The base engine was a 429 (7.0-liter). Power numbers were way down for 1973 when compared to a couple of years earlier, partly as the result of tightening emissions standards but mostly due to the switch from gross to net power ratings that began midway during 1971 and was completed by the end of 1972. This engine was rated at 202 horsepower and 330 pound-feet. The only transmission available was a three-speed automatic. We can assume that the original buyer of this car and its single-digit fuel economy had a rough time when the OPEC oil embargo hit in the fall of 1973. Believe it or not, air conditioning was not standard equipment on the '73 Marquis Brougham (you had to move up to a Lincoln for that). This one even has the automatic temperature control feature, adding a total of $508 to the cost of this car (about $3,661 in 2023 dollars). That AM/FM/8-track radio—or, in fact, any radio—was an extra-cost option as well, with a price tag of $363 ($2,616 after inflation). The MSRP for the 1973 Marquis Brougham sedan (known as a "pillared hardtop" thanks to the frameless window glass) was $5,072, which comes to $36,555 in today's dollars. Obviously, its out-the-door cost would have been much higher with all the options.
