1998 Mustang Gt (low Miles) on 2040-cars
Evansville, Indiana, United States
Performance upgrades. PI heads and cam typhoon intake manifold mac cold air under fender with air filter ford underdrive pulleys 3:73 gears 75 mm throttle body BBK shorty headers BBK off road H-pipe Imco performance mufflers (sounds awesome) Eibach drag launch springs (lowered car 1.5 inches) Appearance upgrades Painted black racing stripes Lambo door kit Misc. chrome engine parts Euro tail lights Billet antenna, fuel door, grill Chrome GT short throw shifter Three 10 inch JL audio subs 1500 watt MTX amp and capcitor (subs and amp needs hooked up) 20 inch boss wheels with cooper tires Black leather power seats This is a very nice one of a kind mustang and has done very well at many local car shows. All upgrades have been properly done and the cars whole life has been spent in a garage or covered (car cover included). I have never mistreated this car nor has it ever seen a track. The car is in excellent shape, but it is 16 years old so if you look close enough I am sure you will find a scratch or nick here or there. The only issues that I am aware of with the car is that is does have a little exhaust rattle that I haven't had a chance to fix. Also, the reason I have the amp and subs unhooked is because when hooked up there is a slow battery drain. I am guessing that there is a short leading into the capacitor or amp. Should be an easy fix, but I haven't had a chance to look for the wire that needs replaced. Rather than that, this is a great car. The reason I am selling is because I have another mustang that I have been working on and two toys are one too many. Buyer is responsible for shipping, but I will help where needed. This car is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells locally. Please email questions or concerns. I can send additional photos if desired. Below is a link to a youtube video. Thanks for looking!

Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.
GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.
