1966 Shelby Cobra on 2040-cars
Harrison, Tennessee, United States
First and foremost this is a REPLICA. I have had several and this is by far the nicest, best looking, most
detailed, and best driving example to date. The build started with an early (pre-merger) MidStates fiberglass body
and chassis, built before the Shell Valley merger. The paint, panel gaps, and overall quality of this car are top
notch without the squeaks, rattles, and other characteristics of lesser builds. The underside of the car is
painted in most places and extremely nice as well. This car is well sorted out, has the best of everything
available at the time of the build, and will turn more heads than most exotics. It is an absolute animal when you
want it to be, but has really good street manners for a 600+ hp 427 stuffed inside a 2000 lbs car.
It is titled as a 1965 Ford and has a clean title,
ENGINE- This car features a true, Serial #CSX495, all aluminum FE, Shelby motor. The engine has a Scat stroker
crank, Oliver billet rods, Wiseco pistons, Edelbrock Performer FE ported heads, Edelbrock 427 victor Victor intake,
and Ferrea stainless racing valves. A massive King Demon 795 carburetor sits on top of it all. The engine made
580HP/586ft lbs on pump gas. This thing sounds like a cross between a Nascar, a Harley, and a top fuel dragster
and is extremely angry.
Transmission- Tremec TKO road race 5-speed transmission with mid-shift shifter position. Lakewood bell housing,
Mcloed clutch, pressure plate, and hydraulic throw out bearing.
Rear End- 9" Ford, custom narrowed with Moser axels, richmond ring and pinion (3.73), and Strange Limited Slip
differential.
Suspension- 4-Link suspension set up with adjustable Alden shocks and coil-overs.
Brakes/Misc- Wilwood disc up front, 1980 Trans Am rotors with Cadillac disc in back. Wilwood portioning valve,
and Ford brake booster and master cylinder. All brake and hard fuel lines are stainless.
Appearance/Other- The car features 15" Halibrand style knockoff replicas (5 lug) with 235/60-15s in the front and
295/50-15s in the rear. The wipers, all lights, heater, and all gauges work like intended. The dash features an
MSD timing control knob.

Production Ford Escort heading for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Ford's long-dormant Escort nameplate returned affixed to a sedan concept at last year's Shanghai Motor Show. While not exactly a beauty, it showed a clean, straightforward take on Ford's current styling. The Blue Oval said at the time that it wanted to create a model that was stylish "but not one that is arrogant or pretentious." Job done. A year later, it looks like the minimalist vehicle might make its production debut at the Beijing Motor Show.
Autocar claims that the streetgoing version has been confirmed to it for the upcoming show, but so far, Ford isn't saying. If unveiled, the Escort is likely to be produced locally for the Chinese market with a domestic partner. Powertrain details remain a secret, but it seems highly likely that any production model would use a small three- or four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. Sales in other major world markets like ours are unlikely, but a test car was recently spotted in Europe.
Autoblog contacted Ford for confirmation, but the automaker demurred, with a spokesperson saying only, "At the moment, we are not confirming any vehicles planned for the show." It looks like we will have to wait to know for sure.
Galpin Ford GTR1 supercar debuts in Monterey
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Galpin Auto Sports has finally taken the wraps off the car we first previewed back in December, the Galpin Ford GTR1. A few weeks ago, we posted the first hints of just what the GTR1 would be capable of, with Galpin teasing that its 5.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 would produce in excess of 1000 horsepower, with a top speed of 225 miles per hour. Package all that in a coachbuilt body, and you have the recipe for one wicked supercar.
The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000.
Now, we have all the glorious details. Galpin is targeting a production run of six cars, but if interest is strong enough, will expand its initial quote to 24 vehicles. The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000. Opting for the aluminum bodywork could lower that, although it's not immediately clear by how much.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
