This car is just about the way it was in 1996, showroom new-only 17 years older. It has been babied from day one.  The first owner bought the car from McCrackin Ford in Pittsburg, PA.  He owned 2 Pizza restaurants and didn't have time to drive the car. My son saw the car advertised on the internet and called from South Korea, where he was stationed with the Air Force, and said he wanted that car.  We acquired the car with about 1200(?) miles on the odometer.  We drove the car to our home in Virginia and parked it in our garage. Our son finally flew in from Korea and drove the car to Little Rock, AR. He got about 27 MPG on the trip back to Arkansas. The paint on the car is immaculate.  There is one small spot on the passenger side of the driving light where the paint lifted (see picture).The back seat looks like its never been sat on. The headliner, dash and carpet are in very good condition with no tears or rips.  The engine compartment and trunk are also very clean.  I don't think the spare tire has ever been out of the trunk. He lived on base and rode his bicycle to work a lot of the time instead of driving the car. He enjoyed taking the car to drive-in events and car shows.  He washed and waxed the car before every show. He saw a Dodge Viper advertised in Atlanta, GA. So we went to Atlanta to look at the Viper. We drove the Viper home and the Mystic was parked in my shop. I have a 50X100 foot insulated shop. My son spent two tours in Saudi and Afganistan with a side trip to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Then he got reassigned to Las Vegas and then to Abilene, TX. He decided not to take the car to Las Vegas or Texas, so the car lives in my shop.  I keep the car in running condition. We put AMSOIL synthetic oil in the car (I'm an AMSOIL dealer) and start it up and run it for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. I drive it around the driveway to keep the seals, etc, lubricated. The only modifications made to the car are tinted windows and a new battery. I still have the original battery (if you want it for displaying in the car at shows, etc).  I think we threw away the original oil filter. We keep a car cover on the car when not driving it. The car cover can go with the car (if you want it). We have enjoyed the car and are still amazed that the car turns different colors when the light hits it from different directions.  It is a very pretty shade of green and changes colors to purple, root beer brown and a golden color depending on where you are and where the light is coming from. (It was really fun when getting the car tagged when they asked what color it was!) It also turns peoples heads when they pass it on the street. My daughter-in-law saw a plum crazy SRT Challenger and absolutely had to have it so its time to sell the Cobra.  We have a binder with the original window sticker, the letter from Ford SVT verifying that the car is #139 of 2000 with the Mystic paint, a certificate of authenticity, a sales brochure specifically for the 1996 Mustang Cobra SVT, including the salesman's business card.  We also have a clear title.  We used the car as collateral for the loan.  The credit union placed a lien on the car but stamped it paid in full when the loan was paid. If you need additional information please feel free to ask any questions.  I'm not a wizard on the computer so it may take a while to get any questions you may have answered, but I will try to quickly resolve any concerns you may have about the car.  I don't think you will be disappointed when you see the car in person.

2015 Ford F-150 to get 2.7-liter EcoBoost?

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

As we prepare for the arrival of the all-new, next-generation Ford F-150, rumors about the new truck are picking up steam. Naturally, many of said rumors aren't just related to the way the truck will look (it's expected to take design cues from the Atlas concept shown above), they're tied to what's going to motivate the Blue Oval mainstay, with Ford's EcoBoost range likely to play an increasingly key role. While we're still expecting the current 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 to retain its position as a premium alternative to Ford's naturally aspirated V6 and V8, a Canadian automotive news site is proposing that the Dearborn automaker is also preparing a new, more fuel-efficient downsized EcoBoost option.
Autos.ca is reporting that a new, 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 could find its way into the lighter, aluminum-intensive truck. The new engine supposedly makes use of asymmetrical turbos to generate 320 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque - substantially more impressive numbers than the current 3.7-liter base engine's 302 ponies and 278 lb-ft - while offering improved fuel economy and emissions. The new 2.7 EcoBoost (internally dubbed "Nano") isn't expected to supplant the naturally aspirated V6 as the F-150's base engine, it's expected to slot in above directly it.
Naturally, we're prescribing more than a few grains of salt to go with these rumors, at least until Ford debuts the next F-150 at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, a reveal we'll be covering in a mere two weeks.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Black Zombie electric Mustang launches Blood Shed Motors [w/videos]

Thu, Jun 19 2014

As patient zero of Blood Shed Motors, the classic pony car has received a powerful electric transplant. Lightning repeatedly vanquished the darkness like the angriest of strobe lights and thunder shook the building, punctuating the clatter of a heavy Texas rain on the metal roof as the clock ticked away the initial seconds of a rare full moon Friday the 13th. It was then that the Black Zombie came to life for the first time. Beneath the hood of this rust-free 1968 Mustang fastback, a 289-cubic-inch V8 no longer turns gasoline into heat, noise and pollution. As patient zero of Blood Shed Motors, the classic pony car has received a powerful electric transplant, and now boasts twinned Warp 11 DC motors and a pair of fresh Zilla controllers that will serve as the basic blueprint for future vehicles. Dubbed the Zombie 222 drivetrain, the setup will be limited to 750 horsepower in customer's cars to keep the maintenance experience low, and eventually will draw power from a 40-kWh battery pack. In this first example, though, the output is bit more extreme. For one day, at least, they have the 1,500-kW-capable pack that powers the record-setting Swamp Rat 37 racer belonging to Don Garlits and a brief window of opportunity to try it out on a track. Blood Shed Motors is the result of a collaboration between NEDRA co-founder John "Plasma Boy" Wayland, the man who helped bring electric vehicle drag racing to the attention of the world with his unassuming White Zombie Datsun 1200 conversion and Austin, TX business man Mitch Medford, who've put together a small team of experts in their chosen fields. The plan is to build a limited number of muscle car conversions on pristine early Mustang, Camaro, and Barracuda platforms. The plan is to build a limited number of high-quality muscle car conversions on pristine (No restored rust buckets!) early Mustang, Camaro, and Barracuda platforms. Each can be customized according to buyer's wishes and blessed with its own serial number. The price tags will be in the eye-watering $200,000-and-up neighborhood, reflective of the cost and rarity of these cars and the custom nature of the alterations. Of course, you can't just multiply horsepower and add the monster torque that these electric motors put out and expect an antique chassis to hold up.
