This is my restored 1985 Mustang GT, 5.0 H.O. Convertible. For those of you out there looking to buy this car wholesale, you just as well stop reading right now. I'm not selling to give it away. I'm selling to make money off of my hard work and investment.I do not have to sell this car,so don't look here for a bargain. With that said, for those of you wanting a nice car,  I purchased this car off an Ebay auction and have went through the entire car and invested over $10,000 and many hours along the way. I don't have to sell the car for anyone looking for a bargain.The engine and transmission were professionally overhauled locally.The original CFI set up was converted to an Edelbrock intake with a 600 cfm Edelbrock Carburetor. All new. This is a numbers matching engine and transmission. I have replaced the top with a glass rear window. Factory fog lights w/covers. It has a new tinted winshield. The struts and shocks on all four corners are all new as well as the front disc brake pads and rotors and the rear wheel drum brakes and new drums & all attaching springs, etc. The exhaust is new with headers and dual Flow Masters. There is no catalytic converters on this car. Not required at this age. The interior has the original seats which are white and are in very good condition. The dash hull was replaced as well as the console. The speedometer was changed over to a 140 mph replacement. The dash pad is also new along with the carpet. All new rubber moldings.everywhere. The stereo is a Pioneer single CD system with new speakers front & rear. The tires are new and are BF Goodrich with the correct size. The A/C works great!  It has all new hoses and cores and is still operating with R12 and is cold. Everything works...even the windshield washer. There is no cruise control.....sorry. I did replace the steering wheel with one I thought looked better. I will add some more photos including the interior soon.The car handles like it did back in the 80's. It's not a cushy ride........It's a firm ride that connects you to the road. It does make "convertible" noises. It's not a quiet car. I am selling this car because I do not really drive it enough and it needs to be driven. It has  only a 1,000 miles on the re-build. There are a few minor things that need to be done that will not cost any money but just a little time. The windows need some tweeking in the adjustment area. They go up and down fine, but I think they could do better. The motors are not new, but do have new cams. All of the adjustment is easy to access. The car needs to be driven to round out the tires. They do have a flat spots from sitting for periods of time. Just to let you know, I start and drive this car weekly if not several times a week. I just never drove it for any long distances. It always had fresh gas and never sat long enough for the battery to go down. It's a great car and would make anyone a great car to enjoy. The paint was done a couple of years ago and is very good job but not the greatest. The car was originally white. I chose the current color because I thought with the white top, it looked more impressive. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I have all of the receipts of all the work that has been done and all the parts that have been purchased. I also have a lot ofor extra parts, Ford shop manuals, and skematic plans that will go with the car. Remember, this is a classic and it's not perfect, but it will still get plenty of looks and runs great. Good luck and I hope it finds a new home. Thank you for looking, and by the way, the car is also for sale locally and I may the end the auction early if necessary. Car is sold as is. No warranty. If any requested work is to be done prior to turning over vehicle to new owner, such work with any costs, would be agreed upon by both parties.

 

 Here's a little trivia...in 1985 there were 156,514 Mustangs built and of those ONLY 5,549 were GT Convertibles.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

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 gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks

Sun, 25 May 2014

Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.
