This car is turn key right now but not completely finished. I have a 1988 mustang convertible 5.0. It had the 302 motor and the t5 5 speed tranny. The paint is pretty good . It does have some little dings and some little chips but its not bad. This is the 2v cleveland. I did a complete 351c 5.7 swap. The motor was built by Douglas machine in Gardnerville NV. the motor might have 20 miles on it. I dropped it in last year with fresh markings on the crank. The motor was $2200 to build I have a receipt for my purchase price of $1400. It's 10 to 1 compression, baja beast moderate cam, keith black pistons, and stock 2v cleveland heads. The car is dirty its just been sitting in the garage but will clean when sold. the transmission is a built c4 with tranny pan good for 700 horse with a tiji boy torque converter and a trans brake. It's a 3500 stall. The torque converter was $800 by itself. Tranny was about $3000 it is bullet proof. It has about 10 passes on the track in Fallon NV. has brand new 31 spline alloy axles. 411 gears with posi traction. The carb is a holley 800 cfm double pumper and is way too much carb for this car. It needs a nice new 650. This is the reason the car is not running 100%. It's a little sluggish and running too rich.The AC is deleted. The power steering pump is brand new and in the car but it is bypassed at the moment. Billet aluminum V groove pulleys. The shifting linkage is loose but it will still shift into gear and park but at times it's tough finding reverse. It just needs a little adjusting. Inside the car there's a cluster gauge with the water temp and oil pressure. The water temp is not hooked up. This car does have a CD player that works. I have a custom made shifting bracket with a B&M pro stick shifter with a trans brake button and B&M shifter cable. There's a light up toggle switch to turn the trans brake on and off. Interior carpet and front seats are in good condition. The back seat has a seat cover and faded back rest. I also have the complete convertible top frame with hooks and latches. There's no material on the frame but I have a brand new canvas easy on top with glass window from Convertible Top Guys with receipt, strips and pads. I paid around $600 for it. I have extra convertible pump motors and cylinders to operate the top. Car has duel exhaust and flow masters 3in. all the way back. Hedders are long tube. Battery has been re-routed to the trunk and has the battery box. It has chrome cobra 18in rims with Nexus Tires with good tread. The fog lights don't work but all others(lights&signals) do. All new fittings in the gas tank to convert from fuel injection to carberated All new heavy duty fuel line. I've spent a lot of money on wires, hoses, fittings, seals and other small things for this vehicle. The car will need to be haul by trailer because it's not complete. The car has not been registered for a year and I have the title in hand. The car has a low reserve price. If you're serious about buying please send me a message with a phone number and we can talk more in depth about it. I can send you more pics that are better and can clean it up first. These are not the best.

Ford Ka Concept shown in Brazil, could enter production by 2014
Wed, 13 Nov 2013The Ford Ka (pronounce it like a Bostonian saying "car") is the Blue Oval's sub-Fiesta offering in a number of markets that aren't North America. It's been a staple in Europe since it launched in 1996 and in South America since 1997, where it's enjoyed quite a bit of popularity as an affordable, efficient city car.
The European and South American models grew apart over the years, until Europe ended up with a Fiesta-inspired car and Brazil retained a more evolved version of the original Ka's styling. With this Ka Concept, which is really a concept in name only, Ford is previewing a Ka not just for the European market, but as the brand's new, global small car. With city car sales expected to grow dramatically in coming years and the ever increasing price of fuel, Ford's move to get a new, competitive car into the market on a global level isn't surprising.
Wearing Ford's new, familial grille, the Ka Concept features the same crisp, sculpted sheetmetal that's adorned the Fusion and Fiesta. Developed in-house by Ford Brazil, a production version could launch by 2014, according to Ford's press release. It's unclear what engines will sit under this car's hood, although we'd bet the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Fiesta will be available at some point.
Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer
Fri, 13 Dec 2013To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.
Shelby Mustang stars with Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez in Getaway movie
Thu, 06 Jun 2013Car movies. We keep watching them, they keep making them. Despite Fast & Furious 6 still blowing up the box office (No. 1 in theaters for the second straight week) and production on Transformers 4 being well underway (check out the Bugatti Veyron and Corvette Stingray as new cast members), there's still room on the marquee for more car movies. Next one up is an Ethan Hawke joint called Getaway, which prominently co-stars a Ford Shelby GT500. The first trailer for Getaway, which opens in theaters on August 30, was released yesterday and can be watched below.
The movie's plot centers around Hawke's character, former race car driver Brent Magna, who must somehow use this car, what appears to be a generation-old Shelby GT500 Super Snake he "commandeered," to save his wife. The movie's third co-star is Selena Gomez, whose character we're told is the owner of said Shelby. A 20-year-old having a car like this seems a bit far-fetched - especially in Europe - and on paper, this plot looks like it cribs liberally from Charlie Sheen's 1994 The Chase. But all we've got to go on is a brief plot description and the trailer below, so we'll withhold judgment until the studio firmly has our ticket money in its grasp.
The Shelby GT500 is, of course, no stranger to acting. Before this jump to celluloid, the most fearsome of all Mustang models starred in the return of Knight Rider to television on NBC back in 2008. That gig didn't pan out for the car, the show lasting only one season and 17 episodes. In fact, with its casting in Getaway, the Shelby GT500 is one of the few actors who escaped that debacle with a future in show biz.
