This car is turn key right now but not completely finished. I have a 1988 mustang convertible 5.0. It had the 302 motor and the t5 5 speed tranny. The paint is pretty good . It does have some little dings and some little chips but its not bad. This is the 2v cleveland. I did a complete 351c 5.7 swap. The motor was built by Douglas machine in Gardnerville NV. the motor might have 20 miles on it. I dropped it in last year with fresh markings on the crank. The motor was $2200 to build I have a receipt for my purchase price of $1400.  It's 10 to 1 compression, baja beast moderate cam, keith black pistons, and stock 2v cleveland heads. The car is dirty its just been sitting in the garage but will clean when sold. the transmission is a built c4 with tranny pan  good for 700 horse with a tiji boy torque converter and a trans brake. It's a 3500 stall. The torque converter was $800 by itself. Tranny was about $3000 it is bullet proof. It has about 10 passes on the track in Fallon NV. has brand new 31 spline alloy axles. 411 gears with posi traction. The carb is a holley 800 cfm double pumper and is way too much carb for this car. It needs a nice new 650. This is the reason the car is not running 100%. It's a little sluggish and running too rich.The AC is deleted. The power steering pump is brand new and in the car but it is bypassed at the moment. Billet aluminum V groove pulleys. The shifting linkage is loose but it will still shift into gear and park but at times it's tough finding reverse. It just needs a little adjusting.  Inside the car there's a cluster gauge with the water temp and oil pressure. The water temp is not hooked up. This car does have a CD player that works. I have a custom made shifting bracket with a B&M pro stick shifter with a trans brake button and B&M shifter cable. There's a light up toggle switch to turn the trans brake on and off. Interior carpet and front seats are in good condition. The back seat has a seat cover and faded back rest. I also have the complete convertible top frame with hooks and latches. There's no material on the frame but I have a brand new canvas easy on top with glass window from Convertible Top Guys with receipt, strips and pads. I paid around $600 for it. I have extra convertible pump motors and cylinders to operate the top. Car has duel exhaust and flow masters 3in. all the way back. Hedders are long tube. Battery has been re-routed to the trunk and has the battery box. It has chrome cobra 18in rims with Nexus Tires with good tread. The fog lights don't work but all others(lights&signals) do. All new fittings in the gas tank to convert from fuel injection to carberated All new heavy duty fuel line. I've spent a lot of money on wires, hoses, fittings, seals and other small things for this vehicle. The car will need to be haul by trailer because it's not complete. The car has not been registered for a year and I have the title in hand. The car has a low reserve price. If you're serious about buying please send me a message with a phone number and we can talk more in depth about it. I can send you more pics that are better and can clean it up first. These are not the best.

Meet Floyd Pullin, 102-year-old honorary president of Ford trucks [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

When we talk about trucks we often talk about how loyal truck owners are; it's men like Floyd Pullin who provide the proof. The 102-year-old man from Confluence, Pennsylvania has only owned Ford products since the 1920s, and he's done so well by Ford Trucks that the division named him honorary president for a day, not long after he took delivery of his latest ride, a 2013 F-150 STX.
That's the 16th Ford he's owned. If he bought his first when he was 16, he'd have flipped into a new car or truck about every five years. For 86 years. Not a bad run of business for either side.
Ford Trucks made a video to wish Pullin a happy birthday, which was celebrated at his local Ford dealership and was visited by a Pennsylvania state senator. You can watch it below.

Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.
