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.

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
Facelifted Ford Focus caught testing in the cold
Wed, 18 Dec 2013It's that time in the life of the Ford Focus to get a little work done - a nip-tuck here, some Botox there. Yes, Ford is testing a facelifted version of its global C-segment entry, which first hit markets in Europe and North America in May 2011.
Like the touchup on the Fiesta, expect Ford's gaping grille to make its first appearance on the Focus. Our spy photographers point out that this is likely to be a more comprehensive makeover than previous spy shots suggested, based on the additional camouflage seen here on the front and rear ends of this five-door model. New head and taillights are also likely in order, as are changes to the front and rear fascia.
The interior was also snapped and features a cleaner design with a larger central display. Other than that, it looks like some buttons have been changed, making us think most of the Focus' updates are limited to the exterior.
2022 Rivian R1T vs. 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning vs. GMC Hummer EV Pickup | How they compare on paper
Tue, Sep 28 2021The 2022 Rivian R1T has arrived, ushering in the era of the production electric pickup truck. The Rivian reviews are in, and spoiler alert: They're pretty good. Curious how the new battery-powered truck stacks up to its forthcoming competitors? Well, you've come to the right place. Rivian beat all of Detroit's big automakers to market in the half-ton segment, but probably not by the margin the startup would have liked. Ford's answer is the F-150 Lightning, which is due to enter production early next year, coming hot on the heels of GM's first entry into the space – the GMC Hummer EV pickup – which is scheduled to come off the line late this fall. While all three are pickups, they're aimed at distinctly different buyers, as a perusal of their specifications will reveal. Let's have a look, shall we?  Disclaimer: Before we dive in on this one, we'd like to note that while we've made our best effort to verify the specs provided, the Rivian is brand-new and the others are still in the prototype phase. Some of these figures may be inaccurate or may simply change before production. This is all hypothetical until you can actually cross-shop them anyway, right? Cool. End disclaimer. Let's start with the powertrains. They're all battery-electric trucks engineered on a modular rear-wheel-drive configuration engineered to accommodate (theoretically, anyway) up to four electric drive units. Rivian actually makes the most use of this with a quad-motor setup producing 835 horsepower and 908 pound-feet of torque with its high-output initial model. GMC's three-motor Hummer has the R1T beat with its estimated 1,000-horsepower output, while Ford's (also three-motor) comes in with a far more modest 563 horses. This is an excellent illustration of our above point that these are not all engineered for the same crowd. Ford's F-150, which comes in at a lower price point, is meant to be far more mainstream, as its power output suggests. This theme continues when we look at the dimensions. Despite the image "Hummer" may conjure, GMC's entry actually needs the shallowest parking space. The Rivian is right behind it, with the work-truck-spec Ford extending more than a foot longer than either. What the Hummer lacks in length, it makes up for in girth. It's the widest by a good 5 inches. The Rivian is only slightly pudgier than the F-150, but it's much closer at that end of the scale.
