1988 Turbo Coupe Project Car on 2040-cars
Woodstock, Georgia, United States
Diamond in the rough. Just over 69K original miles. Engine runs great. Everything worked the last time that the car was driven except for the adjustable ride option. I got the car from the father of the original owner about 5 years after the owned passed away. It was sitting in the weather full of junk on 4 flat tires and would not run. Over the next couple of years the car received a new gas tank, fuel pump, radiator, cooling fan, brakes, complete exhaust system, belts and hoses, front and rear transmission seals and rear main seal, plugs and wires, rebuilt distributor...and the list goes on and on. Turbo works great and will go to 15lbs boost with no problem. Tires are like new Goodyears. Driver's seat has been reupholstered and the head liner replaced. Body is straight with no dents and no rust. Paint has some scratches on the trunk lid, most everything else should buff out OK. Wheels are the original 16" TC wheels. Car has been garaged since 2009 with transmission problems. I am on a fixed income and can not afford to continue the restoration on this great vehicle. Problem with the transmission is that it will not go into drive. Takes reverse just fine. It never slipped or hesitated just quit taking drive...matter of fact the shift was so positive at full throttle it would pretty much knock the fillings in your teeth loose. Talked to a transmission shop and their prognosis was that it is probably seals since the car sat up for so long before I got it...problem being they won't touch it without doing a complete rebuild because they have to warranty the work. This car was a real kick to drive and I hate to see it go...but better someone get it that will do something with it than see it rot in the garage. Car must be picked up with a trailer or dolly as it is not driveable. Transmission will not go into drive.

And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.
2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.
