Selling my 1997 Sport with 141372 miles on it. Ran into the back of a Dodge pickup and decided it was time to move on to something else. Car still will start and drive around the lot where its parked but the radiator is shot so it won't run long. Will need new radiator, fan, front end body panels, condenser, core support, header panel, passenger side headlight, both airbags, battery, and various other small parts. Most of the damage is above frame level as the car went under the back bumper.


Things I have done to the car:

- New motorcraft starter installed 2 months ago.
- Replaced everything in the A/C system with new parts except the evaporator core 2 years ago, and installed a new heater core in 2007.
- Cooling system has been flushed regularly.
- Transmission filter and fluid changed about 10,000 miles ago
- Amsoil is what I use in the engine and transmission
- Plugs and wires replaced with Motorcraft parts at 109000 miles.
- Both coil packs have been replaced with new ones.
- Serpentine belt new around 135000 miles.
- New water pump installed at 125000 miles
- New tensioner and idler pulleys installed at 127000 miles
- New fuel filter installed at 115000 miles.
- Dynomax DirectFit catalytic converters installed for better flow.
- Cat-back exhaust with single pipe that Ys to dual Flowmaster mufflers
- Both rear HO2S sensors replaced in the last 20000 miles.
- Flex plate replaced at 115000 miles.
- Aftermarket airfilter
- Window tint
- New upper and lower control arms with ball joints and alignment at 120000 miles and I had the alignment rechecked at 134000 miles.
- Rear sway bar end links replaced
- Ford Racing PI intake installed at 132000 miles due to factory intake splitting the coolant crossover.

I have done most of the work on the car myself and have most of the receipts for the parts that I installed and the work that has been done at other shops.

The car now has stock Sport/SC rims with P225/55R16 Firestone Firehawk tires - All 4 tires match and about half tread left. Title is a clear Texas title that I have in my possesion. Car is inspected to 12/13.

Vehicle is for sale locally so auction will be ended if sold.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost loses big power on 87 octane

Mon, Jan 5 2015

The 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder is a pretty potent package on paper. With 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque, it boasts better performance numbers than the 3.7-liter V6, but with better fuel economy as an added benefit. However, if you're in the market for one of these boosted 'Stangs, you should probably keep in mind that it really prefers to gulp premium, 93-octane fuel. It can drink 87-octane swill in a pinch, but you're going to find significantly less power underfoot when pulling away. While it's not shocking that the ponies are dialed back with a lower grade of gasoline, an alleged page from a Ford training manual obtained by Mustang 6G purports to show just how much power is lost, though. According to this document, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost makes 275 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque when running on lower octane fuel. That's a substantial reduction of about 11.3 percent compared to when the engine drinks 93 octane. Interestingly, according to Mustang 6G, that finding was a bit better than expected, because a Ford engineer reportedly said power would be down about 13 percent without altering peak torque. In speaking with Autoblog, Paul Seredynski of Ford powertrain communications, objected to part of this document. While he couldn't confirm the specific losses listed for the Mustang EcoBoost, "torque remains unchanged" with lower octane gasoline, Seredynski said. He speculated this training manual page was "possibly from before the engine was certified" and therefore showed incorrect figures. Serendynski did confirm that the automaker recommends using 93 octane, and like all modern engines, the software adapts if it's lower. "Peak power would be reduced" by using a lesser grade, he confirmed.

Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.

Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.
