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!
****** I also have it for sale locally *******

Need for Speed movie casts Mustang in hero car role
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Dreamworks Studios, Electronic Arts and Ford Motor Company announced today that the Ford Mustang will play the lead hero car role in the upcoming Need for Speed movie, slated to hit theaters next February. Of course, the Mustang didn't audition for the role like we imagine the film's star, Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, might have. Rather, Ford and Dreamworks struck a partnership deal that meant the Mustang could skip the casting couch. The deal will also see the film's universe populated with other Ford products (gratuitously so, we're guessing), and the automaker will also help the studio promote the video-game-turned-movie next year.
The hero car in question is a special one-off Mustang created by Ford that is making its debut at the E3 video game trade show as we speak. Powered by a supercharged V8 and apparently based on the Shelby GT500, the car's been modified with a widebody kit, 22-inch wheels, larger air intakes and twin hood nostrils. Ford also provided the film's production with an F-450 truck that will be called "The Beast" in the film's story, and a second Mustang to be used during filming as a camera car.
The Mustang's movie career is really taking off, with news of its Need For Speed casting closely following last week's release of the trailer for Getaway, a movie coming out in August that stars Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and another Shelby GT500. In addition to Aaron Paul and a modified Mustang, the Need For Speed movie also stars Michael Keaton (cop, we're guessing) and Dominic Cooper (villain, we're guessing), and is directed by Scott Waugh, who directed the Navy SEAL film Act of Valor in 2012.
Ford to show special edition Raptor on April 9
Mon, 01 Apr 2013There are precious few details, but what we do know is that Ford will be revealing images of "appearance upgrades" for a special-edition 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor on April 9. The slideshow will happen during a Motor Press Guild luncheon at Ford's Design Center Showroom in Irvine, California.
Without photos or further details, we're left to wonder about the extent of these changes, but aren't expecting anything too significant given the venue. Ford is understood to be revealing a next-generation F-150 with a big weight loss - as much as 700 pounds - for 2014, though it isn't yet clear if that's the truck's model year or simply its on-sale year. For at least a couple of years, Ford forums have been suggesting changes will come with the 2014 Raptor, so there could still be a bigger surprise in store. Either way, we'll know what all this means in a little more than a week. The press release below has the official details, but for the moment, we'll content ourselves by ogling the 2013 model above.
eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype
Wed, 08 May 2013Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.
