I finally decided to sell my 1999 Mustang GT Convertible (35th Anniversary) instead of finishing it.  I have two convertibles already and recently bought another project car so I need some space in my garage.  Ford only made a little over 14,000 of these in this color and I'm sure most of them are already in the grave.  Similar to all of the 1999 GT's, it has the anniversary badges on the fenders where the GT logo normally goes and it has the factory 17" wheels.

 

Here is a list of the cosmetic items:

  • Leather interior is in good condition - no tears, rips, holes but Driver's seat does show some wear
  • Interior is in good shape, carpet is reasonable but not perfect.  Dash and console are in good shape, the interior door grab-handle inserts have the same issue everyone else has, they just come loose over the years because of the plastic clip design.  No foul smells or anything, smells good and clean.
  • Convertible top is in good shape, no rips or holes or anything - the glass in the back is clear and solid.  The canvas edge-trimming is showing some small signs of wear from having the top down, but hardly noticeable.  Top goes up and down without stalling or binding and fits nice and tight
  • Paint & Clearcoat has a great shine, I've cut it and buffed it to help bring out some shine with a very mild polish so there is still a lot more gloss that could be buffed up.  It looks like it was resprayed since the factory paint, it's too glossy to be original
  • New headlights (old lights were just fogged beyond repair when I bought it)
  • New Taillights (one of them was cracked when I bought it so I a bought new set)
  • Tires have well over 70% left on them

 

Here is the list of mechanical items:

  • Stock 4.6 SOHC engine
  • Automatic transmission w/overdrive and traction control
  • New valve seals and valve keepers (they were shot when I bought it)
  • New valve springs
  • New valve gaskets and timing cover gasket
  • New IAC valve
  • New K&N Cold Air intake kit
  • Aftermarket exhaust with a nice deep rumble (H-pipe layout)
  • New fuel injectors
  • New Coil-On plug boots and factory-recommended plugs
  • New timing chains and tensioners
  • New battery
  • Has the redesigned metal coolant cross-over on the intake manifold - Ford recalled a bunch of these when the original cheap plastic cross-overs kept breaking
  • Unfortunately for me, cylinder #1 is just not holding good compression and has a misfire.  I've spent enough already and I'm done, I'm in too deep on this one already to put any more money in it.  I don't know what's wrong with it, might be a cheap fix or might be expensive - but I'm not spending any more time or money on it.  The car books out around $7,500 so there should be plenty of room to buy it and fix it.

I would not personally consider the car road safe, with the low compression on cylinder #1 it has a terrible misfire.  The buyer will need to trailer the car home or have it shipped and I can work with the buyer to make arrangements to get it shipped - it's not that expensive and well worth it.

 

Let me know if you have any questions, I try to answer messages in the evenings so give me a little time and I'll respond.  If I see anyone bidding with a feedback of less than 5 I'll be cancelling your bid unless you contact me first.  Also, if you don't pay when you win you're only ruining it for everyone else - so don't bid if you don't have the cash.  Title is in-hand and clear, I'm ready to take a loss and move on so bid to win!

FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.

2015 Roush Mustang lineup officially revealed

Thu, 02 Oct 2014


Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."

2016 Ford Mustang SVT hides big power under its domed hood

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

With a number of 2015 Ford Mustang versions finally available to configure, the fun of speculating about next year's high-performance 'Stang can now begin. It looks like Ford has something seriously fun planned too. One of our spy photographers just snapped some fresh pics of the 2016 Mustang SVT, which is believed to be hiding the final body shape under all of that heavy camouflage.
Ford clearly doesn't want prying eyes looking at its new pride and joy. It would be hard to put much more obfuscation on a car than this one wears - it even has mesh baffles around the exhausts to conceal how many there are and panels over the wheels to hide their design. However, the Blue Oval can't keep everything a secret. The biggest clue that something special is hidden underneath is the massive hood bulge and vent in front of it. Clearly, whatever is under there is hungry for cool air. The shape of the camo indicates that there may be fender vents on each side, and there are also obscured outlets behind the front wheels likely to pull cool air through the brakes. At the rear, the concealment does its job, making it hard to observe any big changes. The fact that Ford wants it kept such a secret might indicate something, though.
A few photos of the interior show far less cover than the outside. You can easily make out the model's 6,500 rpm redline with a possible 7,000 rpm over-rev function. The big Recaro sport seats also look quite supportive.
