You are looking at a 1985 Saleen Mustang Car Number 85-0093 car was confirmed as real by Liz at Team Saleen way back when I bought it. I purchased the car from Genes Auto Sales in Delaware many years ago in its current condition and had hopes of bringing it back to its original condition . Well as you can see that has never happened as I have not had the funds and have had a few health issues the last few years. The car is mostly original with the original Hayashi wheels in good shape missing center caps though. Original wolf steering wheel in nice shape. Original Cal Custom Hawk Alarm. It does not have the correct shift knob and the radio and rear speakers are missing. The rear spats are there and in good shape .The side ground effects are there and are fiberglass but have cracks and need repair. The front nose is the original front three piece nice and is in very nice shape. You will note in pictures it is being held up by string as the tape has lost it stick. The Body of the car is in good shape for its age and shows some light rust spots in several location but nothing that has rotted through most is just surface rust. The rear shocks are the original Bilsteins and I believe the front are as well but haven't checked.the car has 55 thousand original miles but has been sitting on and off for many years. I purchased the car about 12 years ago from Genes auto sales in Delaware. I was told that the owner of the Dealership purchased it for his son in the late 80s from a Lady who was a Baltimore city meter maid. The owners son is who I purchased it from. He said his dad never titled it and when they drove it they put dealer tags on it. He said his dad thought that someday the car would be worth allot of money like a Shelby well that never happened and for all the years they had it his father refused to sell it for a fair price. The car sat and sat and the sun faded the paint and the decals and the car began to show its age. It looks as if it has been repainted on the roof and hood once and the decals look as if they were changed once.. The car was relegated to the back lot of the dealership when I purchased it. The motor is in good shape and does not smoke . It has a new battery in it but for some reason when I tried to start it today it just cranks and it isn't getting spark. The oil and the antifreeze have been changed several times since I have had as I didn't want anything to happen to the motor. It does have several exhaust leaks when it was last running and I believe the exhaust is original. The transmission shifts fine and the clutch seemed to be ok when it was driven around the block last winter. The interior of the car is in good shape other than some fading and discoloration of the plastic panels in the back. The drivers seat has some stitching that has pulled loose but that is about it. The rear hatch shocks need to be replaced as they will not hold up the hatch. The heater core has been bypassed and the A/C did not blow cold. I want to be up front about the car as it does need work but it is an original first year production Saleen and are seldom seen anymore. The car is a great start for somebody that wants a fairly easy restoration. It would need to be trailered home as the tires have dry rot they will hold air but for only about a week or two before they start going down and the brakes should all be gone through since the car has been sitting. Please don't ask if I will part the car out as I will not it is a very very solid car that just needs the right attention.i want to sell the car to someone who will return it to its proper glory. I'm fairly knowledgable on this cars as I have had three real 85 Saleens one that I sold just last year and I have had an 88 convertible. Please ask any questions you have and I welcome and recommend you come look at the car or have someone inspect it. The car is being sold as is where is with no warranty. I request a 250.00 pay pal deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction with the rest due in cash or certified funds before the title will be released. Good luck bidding and Thank You For Looking

Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely
Wed, 20 Nov 2013It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.

2015 Ford Mustang dealer order guide surfaces
Tue, 13 May 2014Details about the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang continue to leak out. In fact, at this point, it's more of a stream than a drip. Its option prices are already available, and now the full ordering guide is on the web for all of the trims thanks to the Mustang 6G forum. Ford is rapidly running out of secrets to keep about its new sports coupe.
The 21-page guide can be perused in the gallery below and contains all of the standard features, colors, options codes, descriptions. Generally everything you might want to know about the 'Stang is there, other than its price or power. It even shows off the available wheel designs.
The guide finally gives away the contents of the Performance Package for the EcoBoost and GT trims. The EcoBoost's package includes: A larger rear sway bar, new chassis tuning, larger brake rotors, 19-inch black wheels, retuned driver assistance systems, an aluminum dash panel, added gauge pack, 3.55 limited slip rear differential, larger radiator, heavy-duty front springs and spoiler delete. When the options pricing leaked, it indicated the package would cost $1,995. If that is the case, it seems like quite a deal.
