 I have never done a carfacts report on this vehichle, but this is what I was told from the previous owner. The car was originally purchased in GA. It was purchased as a mustang GT and the original owner through his own expense had the car sent to  SHELBY INTERNATIONAL  in SOUTHFIELD MICHIGAN  for the  GT 500 package. it spent about the first 7 years in GA and then purchased by an older gentleman in PA. He owned it for about a year and put less than 1000 miles on it and only sold it because it had a performance clutch that was to difficult for his wife to push down to shift. The car was bought for her. I bought it in 2009 with aproximatly 70000k miles. It has been meticulously maintained and kept in the garage under a car cover when not in use. It now has 135000k miles on it,Mainly highway miles because when I bought it, I lived in NJ and spent a year driving back and forth from NJ to SC looking to purchase a new home and retire. It has only seen the rain a handful of times and has never been raced or beat on. It is adult owned with a clear title. AS far as condition, the driver seat has a tear on the  ass part where the metal frame has come to the surface and wore a hole. I'm a big guy so that probably figures into it. Other wise the interior is very decent. I just had the sunvisors professionally redone with leather. the factory used a fabric that the sun quickly wore out. I also must say, the top is rarely up,whats the point of a convt.? The paint is decent with a couple very small nicks here and there. there are no dents and to my knowledge it has never been in an accident.The Experian report in this listing mentions an accident, I assure you I have no knowledge of that and if it happened ,it must have been very minor! It has a 4.6 liter with the cold air intake and I was told some other things have been done to the motor. When I bought the car I was given a Dyno print out of 325 HP to the rear wheels but lost it in the move. once you drive it, you will have no doubt that's true! It is going to need a new clutch soon but it's absolutely driveable. I would get in it and drive to California today ,that's how much confidence I have in this car. along with the back and forth from NJ to SC ,the car has gone to  TN -FLA- NIAGRA FALLS CANADA and a few other places  without ever having any kind of problems. All work snce  I have owned it has been done by a certified mustang guy who teaches automotives here at the SC technical school. Tires have plenty of life left and I just replaced the stereo because the CD player on the factory mach 6 system bit the dust. The top is in good shape also. if someone wants to see a pic with top up just ask. I just didn't want to take off the hard shell. It has the original boot and hard shell cover  and I'll throw in the car cover too. I can't think of anything else at this moment but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Buyer will be required to deposit $500 in my pay pal account upon purchase and I would prefer the rest in cash or certified check, but the car stays here until check completely clears. I've heard stories of fake cahiers checks so please don't take it personally. It's not a must sell for me, I have another supercharged mustang that's my daily driver so keeping it is no big deal. I just don't drive it much anymore ,don't really want to put anymore miles than I have to on it.SO long story short, I'm a regular honest Christian guy who is  not trying to screw anyone. what I say in this ad is what I know. I welcome any  REASONABLE offers. I know there was not a factory GT 500 in 2002 so I really have no idea what this package adds to it's value. I know what I paid and I know what I'd like to get. That's about it!-- oh, buyer is responsible for arranging pick up and all that stuff. I sold a 74 duster a few months ago to a guy in FLa. and it cost him $300 to have it shipped from SC to his front door if that helps.

NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall

Tue, Apr 7 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.

249 reasons you want to go to Goodwood Revival

Sat, Sep 16 2023

At its most basic, Goodwood Revival is a long weekend worth of car races featuring cars made before 1970. There are lots of those, though, including some pretty great ones all over the world. But nothing is like Goodwood Revival because it's so much more than "just" vintage car racing.  First, you have to look the part. Attendees are strongly encouraged to dress in period clothing from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, with a strict dress code enforced should you want to enter the paddock. The goal is to create a more authentic atmosphere to match the cars and the meticulously restored and recreated paddocks, grandstands and other facilities of the reborn Goodwood circuit. Now, the dress code was relaxed this year since the Saturday was literally the hottest Sept. 9 on record in that part of England, and the organizers didn't want people dropping dead because they needed to wear an ascot. Some people definitely took the "relaxed" bit too far, but there was still plenty of atmosphere maintained. It really does make a big difference, as those "relaxed" individuals were often akin to seeing a Starbucks cup in a scene from "Game of Thrones."  You can see what I came up with below along with former Autoblog editor Reese Counts and various other Goodwood attendees. Second, there's the parking lot. But I'll let this entire separate post detail that. Third, there's the enormous carnival-like area featuring vintage-looking rides and various boutiques. Both of those are on the outside portion of the track, and honestly, you could easily just spend your entire day in the parking lot and carnival/shopping area without even crossing over into the circuit area. There you'll find more shops, food and drink opportunities, plus obviously, race car paddocks and the track itself.  Fourth, there are airplanes! I heard there are fewer than in the past, but they're there and they're cool. The Goodwood circuit started out life as the perimeter road around the World War II airfield RAF Westhampnett.  Fifth, with all of the above, Goodwood Revival really is fun for the whole family. It isn't just a bunch of old guys sitting around in lawn chairs. There are plenty of women and adorably dressed children, including babies in vintage prams. It's also not an event that's exclusively for the uber rich, even if they are certainly in full force given who has the sort of money needed to go vintage racing.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
