As it turns out, these two classic Mustang Cobras, spotted in Spanish Fork, Utah, have husband and wife owners.  At least for now.  His 1977 Ford Mustang is for sale in hopes of garnering the couple a down payment for a house while her 1976 Ford Mustang is staying in the family.

The 1977 Mustang Cobra for sale has a 302 cubic inch 5.0 liter motor pushing 300 hp and a C4 automatic transmission.  A project car for several years, it has a new engine, trans, paint, rims and brand new tires with an asking price of $6,200 O.B.O.

National Plug In Day to Feature Electric Vehicle Test Drives

Sunday is National Plug In Day!  Sixty cities all over the country will be holding events to celebrate and provide free test drives of electric cars.

Here in Utah the Salt Lake City event will be a music festival with a wide variety of electric vehicles on site.  It will be a great time to learn more about these vehicles.

There are at least a dozen EVs on the market right now for lease or purchase including pure electrics, extended-range electrics and hybrids.  They include the Tesla Model S, Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Mitsubishi iMiEV, Plug-in Prius, Ford Focus EV, Honda Fit EV, Fisker Karma and the BMW ActiveE Coda.

The Plugged-In Music Festival and EV Drive planned for the Gallivan Center from noon until 6p.m. on Sunday, September 23rd will feature many of them.

A possible star of the show could be the new full size "Volt style" electric pick-up truck and SUV that averages over 100 MPG by VIA Motors, a Utah based EV manufacturer.  This Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) enables larger 4WD vehicles, including SUVs and light trucks, to drive the first 40 miles in all-electric mode with near zero emissions, and a full range of 400 miles on a single fill-up. For most drivers, this means a full range of over 100 MPG in typical local daily driving.  The VIA Motors E-REV powertrain can be applied to a large variety of light trucks, SUVs and delivery vehicles, making it ideal for fleet vehicles. This E-REV powertrain was designed to work in popular light trucks such as the GM Silverado, the Ford F-Series and the Dodge Ram series of trucks.

Last Call VW Car Show to Be Held at Volkswagen SouthTowne

The Utah Transporters Association, in partnership with Volkswagen SouthTowne, will be holding its 3rd annual "Last Call" air cooled VW car show this Saturday at the VW South Towne dealership in South Jordan, Utah.

As one of the show sponsors again this year, we are looking forward to another great show. And if last year's show is any indication, it is going to be a ton of fun!

This is a free show that starts Saturday, September 22nd at 9 a.m. and goes until 2 p.m.  Besides close to 100 or more great vintage air cooled VWs on display, you can expect to see 25 awards handed out, tons of raffle prizes given away, vendors, pin striping, great music and lots more!

All the raffle proceeds this year will be going to benefit the UTA's annual "Bussin' for Santa" efforts.

As their website states:  The Utah Transporters Association was created by a group of friends who love Volkswagens; driving Volkswagens, looking at Volkswagens and talking about Volkswagens!  It is a free club for people who would like to cruise to shows and hang out together!  It's a bus club by name but all Air Cooled Volkswagens are welcome.

The Courtyard by Marriot, 10701 South Holiday Park Drive in Sandy, Utah is offering special rates Friday and Saturday.  Phone 801-571-3600 and mention Last Call Car Show when booking.
