1984 Mustang LX 3.8 V6 convertible, EXCELLENT RUNNER!!! This was my project car since 2008 and it's time to move on to the next project. It has great running V6, recent paint (garage kept, never even waxed since paint) new Pirelli touring tires, recent top (no rips, tears, discoloration, with glass back window). 1989 grey GT seats with working power lumbar, working power windows, door locks, cruise control, console info center. Chrome valve covers, chrome air cleaner, new coil over rear shocks, single exhause with high flow cat and flowmaster muffler (nice quiet burble at idle).
Repro dash pad, console armrest. Working FACTORY am-fm stereo with factory optional "premium sound" amp, and new speakers. New quarter window seals, new dew wipes ("door window "fuzzies") Trunk, quarters, doors, fenders absolutely rust free. Small rust spot undfer drivers foot was repaired before new rugs were installed. Has new emblems, including modern Ford part V-6 emblems on hood scoop. Tilt wheel, cruise control work!
Correct factory part GT hood scoop installed in perfect factory mounting spots. Dealer installed trunk luggage rack with real wood strips (were sanded, stained and spar varnished). New battery (last month), new starter solenoid, all new (recent) hoses, belts etc. Brakes excellent. Runs cool with excellent oil pressure. Tons more stuff I've forgotten, but this car was done right.
A couple points: the non working AC was pulled when I installed a new heater core. I still have compressor etc, if you want it. Same with smog pump. Belts are the same; billet pulleys were installed. If the motor sits for a few days it taps for a FEW SECONDS until oil pressure comes up, then NO NOISE AT ALL after that. Note: there is some small rust directly below the brake fluid distribution fitting; however it's just sheet metal and I was assured by a Mustang specialist that it was no big deal; however it has been taken into account in the asking price. THIS IS A 29 year old car, so of course it has some quirks, but it's nice, driveable RIGHT NOW and just in time for summer, too! Clear NJ title in my name.
In case you're wondering also, I live 10 miles from the coast, we had NO WATER from Sandy (though we lost a tree in front of the house). I am sort of torn over selling this but I have a new project and need the garage space! Set of factory manuals and all the '84 spare parts I can find in my shed come with the car if you want them.

Project Ugly Horse: Part V
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
Jay Leno is far beyond driven in his 1971 Pantera
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Perhaps it's fitting that the band Pantera is known for its heavy metal music, because the DeTomaso Pantera is the automotive equivalent of a metal album. It's short, aggressive and makes a mean sound. It doesn't mess around either, with a Ford 351-cubic-inch (5.75-liter) V8 sending mountains of torque to the rear wheels. This week, Jay Leno takes us on a detailed tour of his '71 to show why it rocks.
There's a regular format to Jay Leno's Garage. It starts with Jay and maybe a guest taking a look at the car and talking about its history, and then they take it out on the open road. However, this video is practically a Pantera buyer's guide. Jay is adamant from the start that the last thing anyone should own is a stock example. To remedy this, he and his guest, the editor of the Pantera Club magazine, take viewers to school about some of the ways to turn them into even better performance machines.
No matter what you do to it, though, the Pantera requires that the driver adapt to it, not the other way around. For example, Jay isn't a big guy by most standards, but he has to cram himself into the cockpit with his shoes off and shirt partially unbuttoned just to go for a drive. Still, once out on the road, it all makes sense with that rumbling V8 and those Italian supercar looks. Scroll down to watch and learn a lot more about this uncompromising '70s performance car.
1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake
Thu, 08 May 2014Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.
