What is the fastest appreciating Mustang of all? The Fox body cars, especially the 1987-1993 5.0 cars with 5 speed manual transmissions, as they are the rarest and most affordable of all. The Fox body cars are now enjoying the "renaissance" of their lives, with values skyrocketing, and parts suppliers running short of original OEM parts for repairs and restorations. Right now,the best segment of the Mustang hobby to be in, is the manufacturing of Fox body resto parts! WHY? The demand is out of this world!
If you missed the meteoric rise of the 65-73 prices and are now priced out of the market, GET INTO THIS CAR NOW! If you ever wanted a rare car, this one is for you! If you ever wanted a factory Hot Rod, this car is for you! If you ever wanted a RARE factory red Mustang, this car is for you!
The color on this car is Vibrant Red, a specific color for the Feature Cars of 1992. You will not see this color on any other Fox Mustang from the factory! Contrasted with White Leather Seats and top, these cars demanded way over sticker price when sold new. Loaded with All the options from Ford, they stickered nearly as high as a Corvette! Some forward thinking Richie-riches bought them for their collections, to be hidden away and enjoyed only for their beauty. Not this one! It has been lovingly enjoyed for 87065 actual miles by me and previous owners, and mildly modified with Ford factory Racing parts: Factory long-tube headers,a 3:73 rear end gear ratio (Very Quick!), Ford Explorer Intake manifold (lots of torque), Hurst 5 Speed shifter (original also comes with the car), and true dual Marauder style exhaust with the Factory polished tips. Catalytic converters are still in place. The photos show it all!...
The body panels are all original, and have the factory VIN stickers on each panel applied by the UAW workers in June 1992. Showing no signs of repaint, it is starting to shed a little clear coat on the right rear 1/4 panel. But painting it is out of the question for me...it's too nice all over, and it's only original once!!
The tires have approximately 1000 miles on them, and still look new with no wear. Brakes are good, engine is as strong as the day it was new, no smoking or noises, and a very small,light leak on the right side of the oil pan where the gasket is a little weak. The transmission shifts perfectly, all 5 gears are strong and smooth. The A/C does NOT blow cold, all parts are present and intact, it has leaked down over the years and needs recharging, and the apparent leak found and fixed. The top is great, with no tears, and the plastic rear window is perfect. It does need a good cleaning, as white shows everything!
All lighting works correctly, Non-factory stereo is great, windows, locks,and power mirrors all work correctly. Cruise control works, power top works, but could use a small amount of adjusting, as I am a perfectionist! Don't get me wrong, it goes up and down as it should, but a convertible top guy could make it close without it making a squeak! Time is my problem, as I am out of town so much.
What does it need?
It has a pin-hole exhaust leak on the passenger side header, and could be easily repaired by swapping out the headers back to the factory originals included in the auction, or the exhaust shop could weld up the hole in minutes.
The rear end gear, as stated is a 3:73, which makes the speedometer read 10 MPH fast at all speeds. In other words,at 45, it shows you are going 55. It could be fixed by any speed shop with a lift for about 50 bucks, but I haven't been able to take it in,as I am out of town a lot.
I mentioned the A/C earlier,it needs a recharge and a leak fixed, but it's all there. But I never ride with the top down and the A/C on, do you?
And last, YOU!
Take a look, one of these just went to almost 12k and didn't sell! You can drive mine home today for $7500!

Amid Mulally rumors, Bill Ford praises company's deep bench
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Bill Ford went on the offensive to combat the rumors that CEO Alan Mulally would leave Dearborn for Steve Ballmer's vacated position leading Microsoft, adding that even if the 68-year-old, former Boeing exec were to depart, the Ford executive team is in a good place.
"I'm happy [Mulally] is going to stick around. But we also feel really good about where we are in terms of succession," Ford told Bloomberg TV, according to Automotive News. Rumors first cropped up about Mulally leaving Ford when AllThingsD speculated that he was in the running, early last month. In that same report, which you can read here, Ford's board of directors reportedly okayed the CEO stepping down ahead of his planned retirement in 2014.
That opened the floodgates, culminating in a report from a few days ago that the rumors over Ballmer's successor just might be true. The story is especially troubling, as Ford hasn't had Mulally under contract, according to AN. "He's here as long as he and I would like it to happen," Ford said, "We're also cognizant of training the next generation and getting them ready to go as well."
Ford nets $5.7B in 2012, $1.6B in fourth quarter
Tue, 29 Jan 2013Ford brought in $5.7 billion in net income during 2012, which is around $307 million less than one year prior. Even so, the automaker closed out 2012 with the highest pre-tax profit for a single quarter in nearly 10 years, earning $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter thanks largely to a higher-than-average truck mix in the US. That's a jump of $577 million over 2011. Likewise, that translated into fourth quarter income of $1.6 billion. All told, Ford set a full-year pre-tax profit record in 2012. But that doesn't necessarily mean everything is rosy in the land of the Blue Oval.
Like every other manufacturer, 2012 saw Ford get hammered in the European Union, where a deep economic recession continues to drive down consumer confidence. The automaker lost more than $700 million in Europe, and saw full revenue of $26.6 billion in 2012. That's a decline of $7.2 billion compared to last yea. Ford says the market for new vehicles in Europe has contracted to 13.5 million units, the lowest number in 17 years. You can read the full press release below for more information.
Ford talking unibody Ranger replacement
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Now here's some welcome news. Car and Driver reports Ford is seriously mulling a replacement for the recently deceased Ranger, but the successor to the compact pickup's throne may not look anything like what we've seen from the nameplate in the past.
While speaking at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Doug Scott, marketing manager for Ford Trucks, said there's still a market for a smaller pickup, but that buyers expect to see a larger differentiation between the smaller utility vehicles and their full size counterparts in price, capability and fuel economy.
According to Scott, that means a vehicle with a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds paired with a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and "a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption." But the biggest piece of that recipe is the price tag, and Scott says to keep the MSRP far enough away from the already cheap F-150, the answer could come in the form of a unibody design. Scott says target customers in this market don't care whether the truck has a traditional frame or not, so long as it's tough enough to do the job and has the capability they need.
