This Mustang has been very well taken care of. Previous owner was an older gentleman in his 60's, babied the car and kept it garaged. Never driven in winter, therefore, no rust. It does have a few dings and a few chips in the paint. The right front corner of the bumper has some paint chipping but overall its in very good condition for a 21 year old car. The top is original, has a couple of stress cracks where it folds when its down but it has absolutely zero leaks. I have replaced several pieces of weatherstripping, new KYB shocks, new Eibach lowering springs, new subframe connectors, new stage 2 clutch and cable, new billet short throw shifter. New Pypes stainless x-pipe, new SLP loudmouth stainless exhaust, new battery, msd cap, ford racing wires, BBK shorty headers, electric fan and last but certainly not least, a Paxton Novi 2000 supercharger! The interior is nearly perfect, carpet is great, seats are great, door panels and dash are great. Everything works as it should, including the power top, power windows, powers locks, cruise control and power lumbar seats. I cannot verify if the A/C is working at this time, but I do know it still has R-12 refrigerant in the system as it is holding pressure. The headlights are crystal clear too, unlike most plastic headlights. It has great tires with lots of tread left, and all trim and top is still very black, not faded. The original top boot is in the trunk and looks brand new. This car is very fast and very fun to drive. The supercharger really makes this thing pull hard and spin the tires for as long as you want, or at least til you redline it. The exhaust is very loud when you floor it, but its a sweet open header sound that makes your heart race. Yet when driving normally around town its not that bad at all. You can still hear the radio at highway speeds which is very good considering it is a convertible. I've invested a lot of time and money into this car, just under 10k over the winter just to get it ready for spring and summer top down fun, but I need to make room for a car for my son and this definitely is not a car for a kid. I may consider partial trades for a small nice fuel efficient vehicle for my son along with some cash or a nice Jeep wrangler with a 6 cylinder only. I may consider a diesel truck as well, doesn't hurt to ask, just no junk, rust buckets or project vehicles, quads, boats or motorcycles. Any questions, just ask by text or call. Matthew 319-423-1555, and please no joyrides or tire kickers. I will take you for a ride but don't expect to come and have me hand over the keys so you can take it around the block.

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
The big dune jump and the damage done
Mon, 20 May 2013The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
