For Sale is my "baby," a 1998 Mustang v6 base. Previous owner added a few pieces of a Steeda package to the car to improve its look including the hood stripes and the plastic piece on the back bumper. 

I have not driven the car much the past 2 years (own a truck as well and the car is stored at my mother's) so rather than let it collect dust would like to pay some school loans down by selling it. 

Car just had a new battery put in it, and has no mechanical issues that I am aware of, I just drove it ~30 miles this morning. If you would like, you are welcome to find a mechanic in the area of your choosing and pay to have them look at it first. Direct message me for exact location of vehicle. Always was treated well since I bought it from the previous owner 5-6 years ago, and NEVER driven hard. As seen in the pictures, there are a couple small spots of missing paint on the front bumper (previous owner), as well as a small location on the rear wheel area on the drivers side where paint has a small bubble from rust (not cracked). That's the biggest issue.

- Car currently has (4) Bridgestone Blizzak tires which help in the snow. They are used, but still have some wear left in them. I have the original "summer" tires from the previous owner I can throw in the car too if you would like, they are just summer tires though as they don't have much tread.

- Car has a Blaupunkt aftermarket CD player as well as speakers I had installed a few years back (NOT subs) to replace the originals. The original radio is still mounted inside the car.

- Gets great gas mileage while maintaining a sporty look.

- Original engine and as far as I know original transmission. No slipping or issues that I am aware of.

 ---> Please keep in mind that this is a USED vehicle and USED vehicles all have wear and tear. Do not expect a 2014 Mustang when you are buying a 1998 Mustang. That being said, this car is in very good condition for a 1998 Mustang.

- Should you have any questions/concerns/want pictures feel free to Direct Message me and I will do my best to respond in a timely fashion. As previously stated, if you want a mechanic to look at it first contact me for the town the car is in and I may be able to help. 

***** I reserve the right to end this auction early as car is also for sale locally. *****

IF YOU LIVE IN THE MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL AREA I MAY BE ABLE TO SPARE YOU SHIPPING CHARGES, AS I FREQUENTLY TRAVEL BETWEEN MY RESIDENCE IN THE AREA AND THE CAR'S LOCATION IN WISCONSIN.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
