Mustang is a muscle car in it is own class. It just command respect without making a sound. Mickey Thomson shows us what you can do with a classic cars, given talent and persistence.  The engine in 1965 when the ford 427 cobra engine Ford could come up with. Inside, restyled all new flight deck for 1969 with a twin pod dashboard, high back bucket seats with knitted vinyl, an optional fold down rear seat, a sporty clock and rich, molded door panels. It had a super slippery roof line, streamlined front end with twin set headlamps and on top.

428 ford cobra jet optional shaker hood scoop others would copy ad and in the years ahead it coined the shaker first. This was designed to familiarize us with history in an age when modifying a vintage Pony has become fashionable again. This was not built for personal expression, but to share a time in history we will likely never see again. When you stop and think about the Ford Cobra Jet Mach 1, high performance is one of the first things that comes to mind.

You can go through a big selection and trim it down and choose what will help with your needs. When you are out on a Saturday night around Sacramento, California, you better be wary of any black Sports Roof Mustang you roll up next to, because those little numbers on the hood scoop are hard to read. I answered multiple ads and looked at cars all over the country. The engine, a woolly 428 Cobra Jet, is the biggest thing Ford shoehorned for ‘68 ½ -’70, outside of the 429 Boss.

The 428 Cobra Jet is a rare and extremely desirable option, transforming the original Pony Car into a seriously quick piece of machinery. For 1970, it underwent a minor restyle, with single headlamps inside the grille and simulated air intakes at the front and a new rear end.428 ford cobra jet mustang amongst the most sought after of all big blocks, combining bags of style with shattering performance. History A very special car, this matching numbers 1970 Mach 1 is one of only 320 built with the desirable 428 Cobra Jet and factory four-speed gearbox specification, as detailed in the Marti report and the verification reports that accompany the vehicle.

Recently imported into Australia, the Mustang comes with the approved Certificate, original dealer invoice and receipts to be supplied on sale. It comes with new tires and Magnum 500 wheels, although the original rims, spare and springs will be supplied. To deal with the common running hot issues these big block Cobra Jets are plagued with, we installed a pusher fan to help move the air along a little better. Power rack and pinion steering and tubular upper and lower control arms help correct some of the steering and handling issues that were plagued with.

By 1968 to 1969, Ford deleted the 427 and mechanical valve lifters from its lineup and, as a result, the Mustang 428 Cobra Jet is not represented in the fastest classes. Like the Mustangs, the Barracudas and Challengers equipped with the 440 cubic inch wedge motors topped by three, two barrel carburetors are extremely quick, but unless their horsepower ratings are elevated enough to move them into the eight pounds per horsepower class, they likely will not be the first nine second car. The 1969 ford corbra jet mustang mach 1 was worth more repainted to original color.

The Ford Explorer was introduced to the North American market place in 1990. The vehicle is built by the Ford Motor Company based out of Detroit Michigan. The Explorer is described as a mid-size sport utility vehicle. It is manufactured in Louisville, Kentucky and has been a bread and butter sales leader for the Ford Motor Company fleet of cars.

As I said before, in the 90’s the Ford Explorer was a top seller for the corporation. As a result there was plenty of salvage Ford Explorers on the market. During this time their was a scandal that the Ford Corporation was involved in. It seems Ford Explorers had a problem with rolling over. They were not weighted correctly and in sharp turns the vehicles tended to tip over. What made it even worse was the tires that were used during that time also had a tendency to burst. At that time the corporation used Firestone tires exclusively for all of their vehicles. With the tipping incident becoming such of a problem for Ford they attributed the problem to the Firestone tires. As a result the corporation decided to change to another tire maker for all of there vehicles. This is Goodyear. This change did not satisfy critics concerning the vehicle. Ford had to go back and re-engineer the next version of the explorer so to not have the vehicles tip over again.

Law enforcement loved the Ford Explorer. They swelled their fleets with these vehicles around the country. This also brought about another source of salvage Ford Explorers. As these police vehicles got in accidents they were auctioned off to the public for the highest value that they could get them for.

The Ford Explorer was not a very attractive vehicle in its first generation. Between 1991 and 1994 the vehicles were made in a boxy style. This was done on purpose to compete with the Chevy Blazer. Another very popular mid size truck of that time. The Chevy Blazer was made by GM. The Ford Explorer fit the requirement to complete with the Chevy Blazer. As for the explorer it shipped with a very good motor a 4.0 L 155 hp V6 engine and 4-speed A4LD automatic transmission. Manual transmission was also available in a 5 speed M5OD. The body type had two options. As a consumer the vehicle could be purchases in either a 4 or 3 door configuration. There was also a high end version, the Eddie Bauer. This edition did not provide any options. You could only purchase it in the 4 door version. But it did come with a slightly higher tuned engine that would provide an extra 15 hp bringing the total hp to 179.

Ford Explorers are not selling as hot as they used to be. Higher gas prices has turned customers off from buy them. It is not just the Ford Explorer that customers are not buying, but with the gas being so high, customer just want smaller cars that can run longer on less gas.

I ask what is going on here in the USA?  I am not a financial genius and I could be wrong but this is the way I see it. First we bailed out the banks because they gave out too many bad loans. These people who are financial geniuses gave out loans to people who could not afford them, hoping things would get better and the people could pay their Bills. Basically what they did was gambling. Its like me going to Las Vegas betting over and over on red figuring it will come up eventually and when it never does and I lose all my Money. I then go and ask for all of it back plus more! The Banks who gave the Mortgages where given a bail out of around 600 Billion Dollars so they could stay in business. Now as I have read for around half of that the Government could have paid off all those bad loans and helped poor American Families keep their homes.  If all the bad loans where paid then would not that take care of all the Banks problems? Instead they gave super rich bankers who mad bad choices lots of Money so they can continue to make the same decisions that failed before and live their incredible lives that most of us can only dream about.

Now we have the same thing going on with the Auto industry. I do not understand why we would bail them out. It seems to me that if you run a business and you fail, well then you fail. Aren’t these the same auto makers who over charge us for their cars? I can not believe none these manufactures can make a car that will last much longer and run on less gas or some other type of cheaper fuel. The Auto industry and the men who run it have been a major controlling factor in the world for many years. Aren’t these the same Auto Tycoons that we have heard stories about them keeping all the new smaller car companies from starting up or “buying up” any competitor who comes up with a better Motor Vehicle for over the last half century?  The story of Tucker and his dream of making a better car for hard working Americans, Was that not a true Story?

If these Auto Companies where left to go out of Business many Americans who work at these Companies factories would lose their jobs. I do care and understand that it would be very hard on them. Right now is a tough time for all Americans. But I believe that before the dust could even settle from these companies collapse, We would have many small car manufactures starting up making much better cars at lower prices. These cars would last many years longer then the current ones we drive and I can only guess would run much further on a gallon of gas or some other cheaper fuel source. I would bet that fuel would be much better for the environment. Soon after with the huge super powerful big Three of the auto industry no longer in control and maybe crushing any small start up auto manufacturers, We would have hundreds of small car companies all across the Country and soon many more jobs for everyone along with much better automobiles to drive around in that burn cleaner fuels. Who knows maybe we could even get those dam flying cars we where all promised as Kids!

This is a hard time for this country. I think it is evident in the choices the American people have made as of recent, that we now know we can no longer have the same people in power making the same mistakes. These companies and the people that have been controlling this Country have lead us down this road. It looks to me that now that we have reached the end of the road and there is a cliff. Those that have been leading us are now asking us all to trust them and jump off that cliff and fill in the gap so they can walk over us and allow them to continue leading the way !

The idea of this country has always been if you can build a better Mouse trap you can become a Millionaire.What it looks like to me is these people did not allow any one else to build a better Mouse trap. Then they sold the only traps available making them so they would last only a short time, While charging a real high price for them. It has got to the point where the people can not afford to buy new Mouse traps when the old ones brake and have decided they will either try to fix the old ones or just live with the mice. They need their money for other things more important then new Mouse Traps. Now like in the case of the auto Companies they are asking the Government to give them the Money the people can no longer afford to spend on their products.

Now is not the Money they are asking to be given the hard earned Money the Government has taken from the same people in Taxes who can no longer afford to buy these products!  These Companies are getting the hard earned Money of the American People who can no longer afford to buy these over priced Vehicles, That last a much shorter time then the ones made 50 years ago. Now our Government who has been over taxing us for years is thinking about giving away 15 Billion dollars of our money.

What charities and programs are we going to have to cut so these Auto tycoons who have houses all over the world, Their own private Jets and pretty much anything they have ever wanted continue to get richer? Will this money come from our Schools? What about the Hungry Children of the USA?  What about all those people who are out of work and those that are going to lose their homes the banks are foreclosing on? I bet 15 Billion dollars could really help them out.

America is the land of dreams. It is the Country where a man can be poor one day and rich the next if he has a good idea. There is nothing that says if you have a great Idea and then you make a Mistake and lose everything the Government will bail you out! We are not helping the poor Auto factory workers here, They most likely will loose his jobs any way. We are only helping the Rich Auto Tycoons to be able to pay for all their many luxuries! Do I think our Government will bail them out? Well to that all I have to say is take a look at who funded many of today’s politicians campaign and then you will have your answer?
