For sale is my 68 Mustang that I got December 24th 1992 prior to my entrance into the United States Marine Corps. I named her Natasha. When I got her she had a 302 w/289 heads Factory air conditioning, PS, and manual brakes. She was Cherry red with maroon interior. So I drove her for a few years like that. Natasha has been one of the Loves of my Life.

     So about 5 years ago I decided to start a full restoration. Since Natasha was starting to show her age. I pulled her into the Garage and proceeded to pull every her down too the bare shell. I took her to a Classic Paint and Body shop in Charlotte NC. They worked her over and sprayed her in Bright Inferno Red. Now keep in mind I wanted to Hot Rod her up, add some Flare, but I also wanted to preserve her original appeal. I did not want her to be a beast. I looked at a lot of things other guys had done.

Drivetrain. I decided that the 93 Cobra Power Plant was the ticket.  So I bought a 302 Crate Roller Engine for a 1993 Cobra with the GT40 Cobra Intake which has been Extreme Honed. This is an original 93 Cobra intake. These are very rare and highly sought after. This Mustang has a Custom built set of Long Tube Headers that actually fit the car without scraping everything you cross over, unlike the TriY's. They fit around the C4 Bell house like a glove. The transmission is a fully rebuilt C4 automatic with a brand new 2500 Stall. Trans shifts smoothly and not rough at all. I did have a shift kit installed. The exhaust runs straight back to a set of Flowmasters for that nice Growl. I decided on the electronics to go with the more tunable version, so I used the A9P. The rear gears are Factory 273's She does such a fine job cruising I figured why Fix what's not broken. Wheels I wanted to give Her an updated looking set of wheels so I bought a set of Chrome 17x8 OEM Ford Mach 1 wheels for her. Keeps her looking Classic, but puts a great spin on her looks. I just added Brand new KYB Shocks.

Interior. I did not want a solid color and I did not care for the OEM red's of the day. I looked at different colors and cars and decided to use TMI's 1966 Mustang Red with 1968 Black on the seats. I used 1968 Black Door panels. Red Head Liner. Black Dash with Red Paint. I also used Dyno mat in the entire interior space, which really knocked out the noise. For the Stereo system. I used a Kenwood KDC-MP238. It has Blu Tooth, and the AUX input to run your Pandora or Ipod. I used the Q-Forms kick panels for some added sound in the cabin. She has Kenwood 6 1/2's in front and 5x8's in the rear. Great sound . She is wired up to have an amp in the back if you wanted to add a subwoofer. I added Lokar Pedals. The brake pedal is not pictured, but I have it new in the wrapper. I also used New Black Carpet.

I also Powder coated all the door hinges, trunk hinges, hood hinges in Black. I wanted to avoid that trashy look and keep it looking good for years which it will.

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
