Up for bid is my 2006 Ford Mustang premium GT. It has the 4.6L 3V V8 engine with a 5-speed manual transmission. The car is performance white with red/black leather interior and has the Shaker 500 stereo and most of the usual creature comforts such as cruise, tilt and power windows. I bought this car new in Jan 2006 and have owned it ever since. It has 7,631 miles on the odometer. Non-smoker. Clean and clear title. Despite the low mileage, the oil has been changed at least twice a year with Mobil One synthetic. The car has a variety of performance upgrades highlighted by a Kenne Bell twin screw intercooled supercharger kit set at 10psi of boost. I also have the kit supplied 8psi pulley.
The cosmetic condition of the car is near excellent in my opinion. It has been adult driven and garage kept since the day I took ownership. I have been caught in the rain in it 3 times. The paint overall is in excellent shape with a few blemishes here and there. The side skirts, front and rear bumper covers have normal expectants of imperfections for a lowered street driven car with wide tires and an aggressive tread pattern. Exterior upgrades include: Classic Design Concepts ducktail spoiler, Classic Design Concepts C-pillar scoops and has the corresponding cloth inserts in the interior to give a factory look, painted mirror covers, shorty antenna, satin aluminum fuel door and custom running horse pony in the grill.
The interior condition is near mint, only very light wear on the driver seat as to be expected. Interior is mostly stock with the exception of the Hurst Billet Plus shifter and push button start which is not required to start the car but is functional. In other words, the engine will still start using the key. Aftermarket floor mats, aluminum pedal covers, UPR polished aluminum window switch plate covers and polished aluminum radio dial. It also has a triple A-pillar gage pod with: boost, fuel pressure and a digital tachometer with shift light. Note: the Auto Meter digital tach is unreadable as several of the lights are burnt out but the shift light functions.
This car has excellent street manners and drives very nicely. The Kenne Bell tune that was supplied with the supercharger kit was ditched in favor of a custom dyno tune performed by Ken Bjonnes of Modular Depot in Cincinnati, Ohio. This was done mainly to improve throttle response as the then new, electronic throttles in these cars were notoriously bad for lagging. If curious, the car made 454 rear wheel horsepower and 430 ft/lbs of torque. Included with the car also is an SCT Excalibrator 2 computer programmer.
Other upgrades include a full JBA exhaust system that features ceramic coated 1 5/8" long tube headers feeding into a 2.5" JBA high flow catted H-Pipe that feeds into the factory mid pipes and lastly out a Flowmaster American Thunder axle back exhaust. It is quite loud under acceleration but definitely tolerable when cruising. Car also has a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch kit and a Fidanza aluminum flywheel. Sits on 18" chrome Bullitt wheels that are deep dished in the back. Tires are BFGoodrich KDW 2 series and the rear set have less than two hundred miles on them. Rides on Eibach pro lowering springs kit. Also upgraded was a complete rear axle assembly from Ford Racing. It is the same axle that comes stock on the current Boss and GT500 mustangs and has 3.73 gears, a bump up from the factory 3.55's. The axle also has a finned rear differential cover for cooling purposes, 31 spline axles and the axle housing itself is painted matte black, nice touch I thought. This upgrade was performed in March of this year along with new rear BFG KDW 2 tires and powerslot rotors with Hawk high performance brake pads on all four corners. The front tires do show signs of wear compared to the rear ones but are still in good shape.
Other things that come with the car is a California Car Cover Noah style cover and a plethora of literature including Kenne Bell order forms and kit information, all receipts for upgrades, 06 mustang literature booklet from Ford, all included factory owner manuals and both sets of keys. I also have the window sticker but would prefer to keep it for sentimental reasons but would part with it if its important to a perspective buyer. I have tried to provide as much information as possible but if their is anything I have missed or you would like to see a specific photoed area of the car, please ask. All in all, I have over $13,000 invested in upgrades to the car. In closing I think I should make mention that this car has not been beaten on or abused. I bought the car when I was 25 and am 32 now. I primarily used the car for cruise-ins and weekend cruising with the occasional standing stop run through the gears or some hot rodding around town to run an errand. No side stepping the clutch from a stop or sustained high rpm, high speed interstate runs. It is a strong running car and I'm very confident in the condition of it. Thanks for looking. Can be contacted at anytime on the weekends or after 7p.m. EST at (859) 771-5903.

Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar
Thu, Feb 25 2021We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste. When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled. Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes. "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass. Related Video:
Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US
Sun, 23 Feb 2014Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.
What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
