Up for sale is a 1988 Ford Mustang LX convertible, with a 2.3 L Over Head Camshaft, OHC, 4 cylinder engine with a 3 speed automatic transmission, milage showing 11,156 mi.

A little history of this car:

I purchased this vehicle from original owner in apprx 1991 or 92, It was fairly low milage as I remember. In apprx. 1998 or 99, we sold it to my husbands parents, his mothers really, she adored it until her death about 10 months ago. She owned and operated it for over 15 years, the last 5 to 8 years saw little mileage. We have no real knowledge of its mechanical condition and or issues . Other than the occasional verbal" I HAD TO DO THIS " or "I HAD TO DO THAT" to the car last week.. After my husband and I scrutinized some of the reciepts she kept, it becomes clear, her highly regarded 'great' mechanics had taken her to the cleaners. What an injustice for grown men to take advantage of an old woman.

The following is our ( my husbands ) honest evaluation from driving it around town a couple of times, he is a carpenter, not a mechanic. One of the last times she drove it, which was just a few months before her death, she kinda cut the corner a bit tight into her garage, see pics of passenger door, the damage is contained to the door. The front and rear panels did not sustain any damage, mirror will need replacing on that door. Both tail lights are broken, red tape applied and passed DMV inspection. Front end will probably need some work, the car drifts a bit, but not difficult to steer. What this means is if you come over driving a newer model honda and get into this car it will feel odd steering, you get used to it after a bit, his Mother thought it was as it should be. Front tires are bald, hold air, need replacing, back tires apprx 50%. Interior is faded and has a few holes here n there. The seat covers are a little worn as well, but will come with the car. The converible top was fairly new, but a disgruntled tenant took a knife to it in a few places. My husband and his brother patched it with vinyl clad canvas, rubber goods, and butyl caulking compound, it does not leak, now or ever. The rear window is glass, not plastic. The front headlight lenses are starting to yellow, need buffing. Paint is good for its age, many small imperfections thruout, could use a good buffing.

 Drivetrain;

 The car starts quite easily, even after extended periods of not being started, it is cold blooded, needs to be warmed up thuroughly before it runs and shifts correctly. It could probably use a tuneup. Blows a poof of smoke when started 1st time in the morning, but appears to go away in a matter of seconds, it does not smoke when running, only when starting first time. Transmition seems to work as intended, no funny sounds or smells, same with rear end. Tranny was rebuilt on 2-19-04, milage was 91940, work done by BE SANTA ROSA TRANSMITIONS, 1015 Santa Rosa Ave, Santa Rosa, CA. 954304 at a cost of $1449.70, all reciepts included. New starter 8-09. New alternator 10-09. Front and rear brakes 12-08. New muffler 5-08. Battery is fairly new as well as the radiator. It brakes well. No rust anywhere. See many high def pics at this link to photobucket,

Per my earlier reference of having difficulty retaining our verbage when editing, it has come to our attention that some is still missing, it is as follows;

We highly recommend you either come inspect this vehicle yourself, or hire a mechanic to do so for you. We will gladly work with you on this. Please give as much advance as possible, contact us for any info you may need. We consider this vehicle a project car, even though one can just get in and drive, its a little rough around the edges, looks pretty good at 10 feet or so. It needs some fixing and tuning to be a great driver. I believe most issues have been described above to the best of our ability. Its a fun little car to drive.

Additional items included with sale,

A leather bra, condition unknown. It looks OK, but am unsure.

A carpeted dash cover, greyish in color.

A foil foldout for in front of wind shied, inside car.

A long handled dry dust mop in clear vinyl carry bag.

All receipts found.

What next for Alan Mulally?

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Alan Mulally has emerged as a hero when it comes to American manufacturing. He came to Ford in 2006 after serving as head of Boeing's commercial aircraft division, streamlined operations, sold off the costly elements of its Premier Automotive Group and saved Ford from having to be bailed out by the federal government like its cross-town rivals Chrysler and General Motors did. But as we reported mere days ago, he's widely expected to step down from the chief executive's office at Ford shortly.
So what's next for one of the most successful executives in the business? Hard to say, but don't expect Mulally to disappear into retirement. Though he didn't ultimately take the top job at Microsoft, industry insiders expect to see him in another influential position - likely as a board director or even chairman of another company. (We say "another company" and not Ford because while Bill Ford may have stepped aside as CEO to bring Mulally on board in the first place, we don't see him giving up his chairmanship of the board also.)
Mulally has likely already lined up his next move, and could either announce what that move will be as soon as Ford confirms Mark Fields as his successor, or could wait awhile. Insiders speculate that he could leverage his transportation and aerospace experience into a position at General Electric or a major airline, his manufacturing expertise to benefit a company like Procter & Gamble or his management skills at a consultancy firm.

Hot Wheels' 2022 Green Speed cars bring EVs to small scale

Sun, Apr 24 2022

With more and more EVs hitting the market, it was only a matter of time before the new breed of cars would find representation in diecast form. For 2022, Hot Wheels is coming out with a new Green Speed series that puts the spotlight on a diverse lineup of electric cars. The five-car series features a fun mix of EVs from different manufacturers and in a wide range of styles. Some are completely bone stock. For a traditional luxury sedan, there's a Lucid Air in silver, complete with glass (or in this case, clear plastic) canopy. For fans of Teutonic 4-door "coupes" there's the Audi RS e-Tron GT in Daytona Gray. Ticking the truck box is a Hummer EV in a yellow that can only be described as a throwback to the H3. But because this is Hot Wheels, there are "hot-rodded" variants in the lineup as well. Rather than just a regular Nissan Leaf, they've elected to cast the carbon fiber-bodied NISMO RC 2.0 race car. Likewise with Ford, instead of the standard Mustang Mach-E, they've gone with the Mustang Mach-E 1400 drift car. This isn't the first time Hot Wheels has put out a Green Speed series. The line debuted in 2016 but reflected the limited EV choices in the real car market at the time. The only non-fantasy cars in the series were a first-gen Tesla Roadster, a Tesla Model S, and Chevy Volt. Hot Wheels revisited the line again in 2019, this time adding a Tesla Model 3 and a Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo. Hot Wheels also makes other mini EVs that don't fall into this specific line of models. If you want to collect 'em all, there's the second-generation Tesla Roadster concept, Cybertruck, Jaguar I-Pace, Pininfarina Battista, Porsche Taycan, and a Volkswagen ID R. Similarly, Matchbox has released a version of the Tesla Roadster with sustainable packaging to boot. If you must have an old school gasoline burner, Hot Wheels has plenty of options for you too, like, say, this snazzy FJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser. The 2022 Hot Wheels Green Speed series should be on shelves at your local retailers now. Related Video:
