I finally decided to sell my 1999 Mustang GT Convertible (35th Anniversary) instead of finishing it. I have two convertibles already and recently bought another project car so I need some space in my garage. Ford only made a little over 14,000 of these in this color and I'm sure most of them are already in the grave. Similar to all of the 1999 GT's, it has the anniversary badges on the fenders where the GT logo normally goes and it has the factory 17" wheels.
Here is a list of the cosmetic items:
- Leather interior is in good condition - no tears, rips, holes but Driver's seat does show some wear
- Interior is in good shape, carpet is reasonable but not perfect. Dash and console are in good shape, the interior door grab-handle inserts have the same issue everyone else has, they just come loose over the years because of the plastic clip design. No foul smells or anything, smells good and clean.
- Convertible top is in good shape, no rips or holes or anything - the glass in the back is clear and solid. The canvas edge-trimming is showing some small signs of wear from having the top down, but hardly noticeable. Top goes up and down without stalling or binding and fits nice and tight
- Paint & Clearcoat has a great shine, I've cut it and buffed it to help bring out some shine with a very mild polish so there is still a lot more gloss that could be buffed up. It looks like it was resprayed since the factory paint, it's too glossy to be original
- New headlights (old lights were just fogged beyond repair when I bought it)
- New Taillights (one of them was cracked when I bought it so I a bought new set)
- Tires have well over 70% left on them
Here is the list of mechanical items:
- Stock 4.6 SOHC engine
- Automatic transmission w/overdrive and traction control
- New valve seals and valve keepers (they were shot when I bought it)
- New valve springs
- New valve gaskets and timing cover gasket
- New IAC valve
- New K&N Cold Air intake kit
- Aftermarket exhaust with a nice deep rumble (H-pipe layout)
- New fuel injectors
- New Coil-On plug boots and factory-recommended plugs
- New timing chains and tensioners
- New battery
- Has the redesigned metal coolant cross-over on the intake manifold - Ford recalled a bunch of these when the original cheap plastic cross-overs kept breaking
- Unfortunately for me, cylinder #1 is just not holding good compression and has a misfire. I've spent enough already and I'm done, I'm in too deep on this one already to put any more money in it. I don't know what's wrong with it, might be a cheap fix or might be expensive - but I'm not spending any more time or money on it. The car books out around $7,500 so there should be plenty of room to buy it and fix it.
I would not personally consider the car road safe, with the low compression on cylinder #1 it has a terrible misfire. The buyer will need to trailer the car home or have it shipped and I can work with the buyer to make arrangements to get it shipped - it's not that expensive and well worth it.
Let me know if you have any questions, I try to answer messages in the evenings so give me a little time and I'll respond. If I see anyone bidding with a feedback of less than 5 I'll be cancelling your bid unless you contact me first. Also, if you don't pay when you win you're only ruining it for everyone else - so don't bid if you don't have the cash. Title is in-hand and clear, I'm ready to take a loss and move on so bid to win!

Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'
Fri, 27 Dec 2013In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer
Fri, 13 Dec 2013To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.
Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects
Thu, 16 May 2013Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
