For your consideration is my 96 Mystic Cobra. I am the second owner as far as I know and I purchased it in 2002. I only drive it about 500 miles a year now, so it's time for another toy. The car is in great shape to be 17 years old and 51,500 miles. It has numerous mods, and is a blast to drive, as well as smoke most every new car that tries you, including the new 2014 Cobra. I have installed 2003-04 Cobra seats with the hard to find Black suede inserts, 04 pedals, and shift knob (for a 5-speed). Also it has new carpet, and a new rug in the trunk. The supercharger was rebuilt less than 500 miles ago at Vortech due to a leaking seal, and I had them replace all bearings and do an overhaul since I had it out. You are welcome to the receipt for that work. I also have the certificates from Ford listing the Cobra build number as well as the Mystic build number. The engine has never had work done, never even had the valve covers off, and is stock to the throttle body. I did change the mass air and fuel injectors to supplement the blower. The heat blows hot and the AC blows cold, all windows work, and door locks. The exterior was repainted before I bought the car, the story being that the previous owners son had went into a field through a barbed wire fence and the wire scratched car over the hood and roof. The lower radiator support is bent a little from this I suspect, because it has never been wrecked while I have owned it, and all body panels have the original VIN stickers from the factory. The car has some scratches on the front valence from dragging into a parking lot, and a 4 inch scratch on rear valence from I have no idea. Also, the side skirts have some wear from people getting in and out, and there is a dime sized door ding on drivers door above handle. One of the wheels is dinged about 6 inches on the outer rim. Those things plus some rock chips are the only cosmetic imperfections. The other bad is the check engine light is on, and I believe it to be an oxygen sensor, nothing serious, maybe a 30 dollar repair. I will try to fix before auction closes, or it could just be due to the cats being removed. Doesn't affect performance either way. The car is tuned with an SCT flip chip, meaning it has a setting for passing emissions testing if you are in one of those areas, or the performance version for a few more horses with the cats off. The car dyno'd at 477 RWHP at Mustang Muscle in St. Louis in 2010. I will also consider trading for a Harley Davidson V-Rod, or old hot rod from the 60's or truck from the 40-50's. No overseas buyers please, no one with less than 5 feedback, and if you have a check it must clear my bank before car exchanges hands. No warranty written or implied, car as is where is. Thank you for looking, and have a great day.

2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]

Sat, 28 Jun 2014

When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.

The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
