 Now we have, up for your bidding entertainment, this 1986 Ford Mustang Convertible, the winning bidder will one day be able to experience that warm and wonderful feeling that accompanies having a plan come to fruition!  Having stated that, this vehicle can be looked upon, as being a "dual capacity" vehicle: (1) with minor work, it would quickly become a "daily driver" or (2) after an extensive restoration, the winning bidder will be getting a vehicle, that as it sets, is worthy of such an endeavor.

Pros and Cons -----

The Pros:

As can be seen in the under car picture, the unibody style frame is rock solid, both front and rear, no refurbishing will be necessary during any restoration project that you may have in mind.  Both side rocker panels are "hole free, rust free"; the doors close just as nice and tight, as they did when it was new.
As can be seen in the picture of the engine compartment, all under hood components are present.
No glass will need to be replaced, as it is all present and in good shape! (Crack and chip free)
The mechanism for the convertible top is functional/operational.
The oil has just been changed.
Vehicle was a "Florida car", which explains why the body and undercarriage is in such good shape!

The Cons:

Mileage on the odometer is 87,140 - but according to the vehicle history, may or may not be accurate.  (I have a plausible theory.)
As can be seen in one of the pictures, there is a "quarter size" rust hole, at the base of the windshield bezel, in the area of the drivers side windshield wiper arm attaching point, however this hole has no affect, nor will it ever, on the proper operation of the wipers.  Why this hole developed, is a mystery to me.
As can be seen in one of the pictures, the passengers side interior door panel is missing, as is the cover to the center console arm rest, exterior passenger door handle, and a part or two on the drivers side interior door panel.
Vehicle is in need of a new convertible top, as it has a couple of holes/tears in it, and is "dried out"/sun faded.
There is some surface rust at the bottom edge of the drivers side door.
Vehicle is in need of a paint job, as the paint is faded and "flaky".
Vehicle is in need of a couple of rear tires, as they are heavily weather checked.
Vehicle is in need of some brake work, as they are spongy and have to be "pumped" when they are applied.
The passenger side small rear window is present, (currently in the trunk), as it needs the hardware on the bottom replaced.
Lastly vehicle is in need of a tune up, it starts, runs and drives, but.......

Because eBay is now my passion, I will respond to all serious or frivolous inquiries, via e-mail. 
If as a potential bidder, you wonder why this vehicle is listed again, feel free to e-mail me so that I can explain, because yes, this is the same vehicle that was on eBay last week!
Thanks for "looking", and let the bidding begin!

Ford dealers offered discounts on tools to fix aluminum

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

With the introduction of the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 (and the likely use of aluminum in future Ford products), Ford is looking to help its dealerships reduce costs related to repairing this more labor-intensive material. Automotive News is reporting that Ford dealers with body shops will require an estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in equipment and training to work on aluminum, and to help alleviate the financial burden of the new F-150, Ford has announced a special 20-percent discount on this equipment.
Dealers will be able to save up to $10,000 on tools such as welders, air-filtration systems and rivet guns and to create aluminum-specific work stations. The new F-150 goes on sale in the fourth quarter, and dealers have until October 31 to take advantage of this deal, according to the report.

Ken Block ain't got a care about ruining his wheels

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

During a drifting session at Irwindale Speedway in California, Ken Block made a boo-boo that would send a number of drivers immediately back to the infield. But there's an answer to "What do you do when you bash the wall while drifting and your wheel explodes?" and there's completely different answer when the question begins with the phrase, "When you're Ken Block..."
Instead of us telling you how Block handled the calamity in his Ford Fiesta competition car, you can watch it happen in the video below. You can probably also guess what it is - but it's more fun to watch.

2015 Ford Mustang renders reveal look of the real thing

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

This is, according to the pony-car obsessed kids over at Mustang6G.com, the closest, most accurate rendering of the new, 2015 Ford Mustang to date. Artis Chazcron used a combination of Ford CAD images and information from assorted spy shots to assemble a fairly handsome car, albeit one that conforms to the tired cliché of being more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Now, it's very important to note that these are still speculative renders, and that they only represent the base car - that could explain the lack of the Mustang's vestigial side scoops, along with other, newer styling cues that Mustang6G seems to think will arrive on production models. Those items include a new, double-bubble roof, although the Mustang aficionados claim that even if it were present, it'd barely be visible from these angles.
The front end is pretty spot on, compared to what we've seen from earlier spy shots, while the tail, with its interesting light design is something new. The louvered taillights look quite different from the current version, obviously, though Mustang has gone the whimsical route with taillights before. Also, note the new rear diffuser uses an integrated reverse light and rear foglight, the latter of which is required for sale in Europe.
