Very Nice 1998 Ford Mustang Gt 4.7l Convertible on 2040-cars
Montrose, Michigan, United States
I have a 1998 Ford Mustang GT Convertible for sale. It does need some cosmetic work-to get rid of some scratches and dings and a new clear coat. It has good tires about 65% tread life left. It has a white convertible top that will need to be replaced due to hole in rear window area. the seats and some tears but not real major issue but will need some work later. I had the estimate to get body work, paint and new top with install came in around $2,000. The car already is a head turner due to clear and graphics on it.
The engine is strong and very responsive with gas pedal and rides very well down road. You may need to get an alignment as well as a tune up as did not drive car for 18 months. This car has not seen winters and was stored during winter. Everything else in car works and no damage or anything else that I know of that would harm performance. It had brakes redone in 2011. With the work that has been done on this car already and purchase of it, we spent almost $9500 for it. if you fix the issues you could easily make this car worth a lot of money again and is possible with the low buy it now or best offer option. A new battery was installed 8/2014. The vehicle is also for sale locally so this auction could end at anytime due to this. You could buy car and drive it home with no problems that I would be aware of. This car is a head turner as it is aloha blue with airplane wing type graphic design. Tires are pro stock as well as exhaust. It makes this car growl and purr with exhaust. The idle is good on car. Brakes are good. The cold box cooling system is very responsive to keep engine cool and pull cold air in. The glass on car is good with a couple dings but no cracks or major issues except for rear window on convertible top is torn away from top. But you can get new top for around $450.00. We are selling car to help get bills caught up as I am a disabled veteran with limited income and can not afford this car anymore and it deserves a nice home. The car is being sold "As Is" with no warranty. Everything has been described as well as possible. Please do not waste my time with worthless low ball OBO offers. I am not interested in trades. If you have negative feedback or other issues please do not contact me and or bid on this car, as it costs money to list this car. I am asking $3200 OBO. |

Report: GM struggling to market turbo technology
Tue, 20 Apr 2010In the automotive realm, marketing can sometimes prove just as important as the actual product. Take, for instance, Ford's well regarded EcoBoost technology, which couples turbocharging with direct injection to produce more horsepower and reduce fuel consumption. Would it surprise you to hear that General Motors has had similar technology on the market for over three years?
It's true. GM's first turbocharged, direct injected powerplants hit the market for the 2007 model. The 2.0-liter Ecotec mills put down an impressive 260 horsepower and a matching 260 pound-feet of torque, and they were lauded by the press in the engine bays of the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Chevrolet HHR SS. But few people outside a core group of enthusiasts actually remember this fact.
Says Uwe Grebe, executive director of GM's global advanced engineering, "We didn't have a badge and say, 'This is the most important thing we will put on all our brochures.'" Ford, however, did just that, and it's EcoBoost engines are right at the tips of all our tongues when we discuss today's most advanced powerplants. So, how does The General fix its mistake?
Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list
Tue, 09 Jul 2013The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.
NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall
Tue, Apr 7 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
