This is a 2005 Ford GT. It has approximately 57,300 miles on it which is somewhat unique for a Ford GT. In accordance with the miles, the car had a couple of small paint chips but the body is perfectly straight and there is no dents or dings in any panel. We are representing/selling this GT for a client and friend. At Cool Tech, we have serviced and or modified well over 150 unique Ford GT’s and we know these cars very well and we will be very straightforward with any prospective buyer regarding the condition of this car. The Carfax report will show an incident for this car – namely the Carfax says, “accident, car hit a curb” We think that may be a little bit modest and in our opinion the front left fender has been replaced – but painted perfectly to match the car. In summary, the “bads” on this car may be the Carfax incident and the mileage at 57K. However, there are so many good things about this car! In our opinion, it is a perfect driver’s car. The valuation if this cars keeps going up and up and up. As such, not many of them are really driven. But this car can be driven… and we want to provide our assurances from Cool Tech that this car is fully ready to be enjoyed!! This car has all 4 of the factory options. Painted stripes, painted calipers, macintosh subwoofer/stereo, and the optional BBS rims (now about $4500 each!). When the owner brought us this car he had a list of modifications that he wanted performed. We installed a rear bumper delete kit complete with our Cool Tech rear bumper delete exhaust. We did a full service on the car changing coolant and engine oil & filter. The owner reported a problem on 4th to 3rd gear downshifts. We test drove the car and determined that upshifts were always perfect but the 4th to 3rd downshift would almost always incur a brief grind. Clearly, just a 3rd gear syncro. But, as you may know, parts for these transaxles are simply not available so we purchased a brand new transaxle from Ford ($18,000). At the same time, we replaced both the clutch and throwout bearing. All of these components are brand new in this car. We retained the old transaxle and this will go with the sale of this car. I mentioned previously that we installed a rear bumper delete kit. All of the OEM components from the original configuration will go with the car. This includes the bumper, the frame horns, exhaust and the large screens. All of these items are in as-oem condition. We also replaced the rear diffuser as some of the bottom fiberglass edges had scuffs on them. The car is a solid car, fully serviced and ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.

New car market raining on convertibles' parade

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.

Ford cleans up painting process with cameras

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

Knowing how the bacon gets made rarely entices us and, in the same vein, the same usually goes for knowing about how new cars get painted. But in both instances, however, quality - or a lack thereof - is instantly obvious. In terms of the latter, Ford is showing off its new paint quality process with 3D Dirt Detection Technology to find imperfections in vehicle paint more easily and more quickly.
This process - being performed on the F-150 SVT Raptor above - uses 16 computer-controlled cameras to create a three-dimensional model (inset) of the vehicle to detect flaws in the paint including dirt particles, which can then be buffed out manually. Ford says this new technology cuts down on time spent looking for paint flaws and gives workers more time to correct those that are discovered.
Currently, Ford only uses its 3D Dirt Detection Technology system at three factories (the Dearborn, MI facility, along with those in Louisville, Kentucky and Valencia, Spain), but it will soon spread to five more plants in North America. Ford has released a video and press release for this innovative and unexpectedly interesting process, both of which are posted below.

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.
