Ebay: Very Rare 1995 Cobra 'R' Engine #1

Ebay: Very Rare 1995 Cobra 'R' Engine #1 May 29th, 2007 By Matt Rigney, Author, May 29th, 2007 Matt Rigney 4 Comments

It's not everyday you see an auction like this on Ebay, a very rare 5.8L 1995 Cobra 'R' complete engine that has never been ran. This engine was the first engine built at the Windsor Ontario Canada plant back in 1995 for the 255 production run of the Cobra 'R' engine and it has been on display at the plant ever since. I do know there were only 250 cars sold to the public so that means 4 others were probably used for crash testing purposes. The current bid is at $1,500 and I expect this auction to go much higher as this is a nice piece of Mustang history. More photos after the jump or check out the auction here.

Well it was Steve McQueen's son Chad who was in the drivers seat for the famous San Fransisco Jump to introduce the 2001 Bullitt Mustang. The car is serialized with #0034 out of 5582 Bullitts made in 2001.

Well it was Steve McQueen's son Chad who was in the drivers seat for the famous San Fransisco Jump to introduce the 2001 Bullitt Mustang. The car is serialized with #0034 out of 5582 Bullitts made in 2001. After the media event with the jump the car was sent back to Ford for a throrough inspection to make sure everything was in good working order. It then circulated through Ford exces and press people before being auctioned off. In 2005 at an MCA Mission: Mustang National Show Scott Hoag, who was the program manager of the Bullitt and owner of #0001 Bullitt Mustang discovered the car when he saw the serial number was #0034. After looking the car over he confirmed it was the actual jump car and provided the owner with a certificate of authenticity. The car is also listed in the Bullitt Registry. The current owner, a member (Mberglo) of Brads Mustang Site who hails from Huntsville, AL has decided it's time to sell and has posted it on the forums. A few mods have been added since the current owner took possession including a set of 3.73 gears, Speedcal, Steeda Tri-ax shifter, and a catless x-pipe. He has all the OEM parts to restore the car back to its original condition. The asking price is reasonable for collectable car like this at $15K. If you have any interest you can contact the current owner by email at dorner_mail@yahoo.com. Read More

Ebay: Own Rap Star Eminem's 1999 Purple Mustang April 4th, 2007 By Matt Rigney, Author, April 4th, 2007 Matt Rigney 1 Comment

He's not the current owner of this ride but Eminem (Marshal Mathers) was the first when he purchased this car back in 1999 from Russ Milne Ford in Macomb, Michigan after he recieved his first royalty check for cutting his very first album. When he bought this Mustang new it was originally Red but later decided to change the color to something more flashy, he decided on Purple along with adding a set of custom wheels. Eminem kept this car in his possession until 2003 when he put it up for auction on Ebay.

The winning bidder of that auction who is the current owner was 12-year old Courtney Wittenbern, an heiress to a multimillion-dollar health club empire started by her father. It seems as though Courtney has grown tired of the car and will auction it away to another owner. Check out the auction here. Read More

Episode 2 of the Jacks Toys series from his “Toy” museum in Livonia, Michigan. This episode features Mr. Roush talking about the 2001 Bullitt Mustang how he came to own Bullitt Number 1. It's another good episode but I wish these videos would last a little longer, this one is only 1:20, hardly enough time to talk about each car.
