Jackson, Mississippi, United States
|
1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbocoupe. The chassis has 137,xxx miles but I am driving it daily so that is changing about 50 miles a day. The tires are about 90% on the front and 50% on the rear. The body is rust free. It was a Florida car. The following is a list of the upgrades.
2.5liter Crank Crower 5.5 rods Diamond pistons with Total Seal rings Ported head with Ferrea vavles, conical springs, Hydraulic roller cam by Crane, custom Custom Stainless tubular header Custom 3" exhaust sytem Tial 38 MM wastegate with boost controller Custom Holset HE351 Turbo Ported intake/gutted upper rotated w/70mm Throttle body NPR Large front mount intercooler, aluminum radiator and dual fans 86' SVO front accessory brackets and 130 amp alternator. World Class T5 transmission with HD internal upgrades/Hurst short throw shifter Spec Aluminum flywheel and stage 2.5 clutch assembly Repainted Black, original color. I would give it a 7.5 out of 10.

Tinted windows Alpine stereo, 2 amps, 10" subwoofer, floors and doors dynamatted Fox Body Brake conversion with Rear disc conversion from a Lincoln 17x9 rear wheels and 17x8 front rims A/C system replaced 2 years ago, blows ice cold Heater core replaced last year Rack and pinion and ball joints replaced last year. The engine build has about 3500 miles on it and is very strong and sound. The items that I think need some TLC The rear package tray need replaced. I am posing a photo. The driver's seat has a small hole. There is an oil leak around the oil level sensor. It is not bad, just irritating to see an oil spot about the size of a dime after it sits for a few days. There is a minor exhaust leak near the muffler. It is not loud or offensive but I know it is there. The horn button needs to be repaired. I fixed it once on the back with hot glue but it could be better. I drive this car regularly and I would feel very comfortable driving it anywhere. $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end.

Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR and CR Supercars Villain are retro done right
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Gymkhana king Ken Block has had a pretty simple car history in his trademark videos, starting out with Subaru Impreza rally cars before moving into Ford Focus racers for the past four installments. His next video, though, Gymkhana Seven, kind of goes back in time.
Rather than the cutting-edge rally racers of past videos, Block will pilot a heavily modified 1965 Ford Mustang, called the Hoonicorn. How heavily modified is it? Well, Block's Hooligan Racing Division, ASD Motorsports and Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR, spent two years working on it, ditching the standard engine and rear-wheel-drive layout and replacing it with a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8. Yes, that's a NASCAR engine, and it produces 845 horsepower.
A NASCAR-powered Mustang would be news in itself, but it's the other powertrain changes made by Block and Co. that really makes headlines. Power is channeled through a one-off Sadev transmission and all-wheel-drive system, meaning that Block has basically married a NASCAR stock car with a WRC racer. ASD also developed the customized suspension, tubular chassis and roll cage. The wide Mustang body is the work of RTR and Block's own Hoonigan Racing Division, while the 18-inch fifteen52 wheels are shod in Pirelli Trofeo R tires that use a specialized compound exclusive to Block.
Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.
