GT500E. 428 big block, Nitrous, new suspension, ground pounding, legend of a car! Las Vegas, NV USA car.
Vin:8T02S217570
Mechanical: The car has under 5500 miles on it since it was completed in 2005. It has never been raced or abused
and is in mint condition besides a few minor blemishes that can easily be fixed. During the restoration and
creation of this car, everything was disassembled and rebuilt. The engine and transmission are brand new, with $20k
spent on the engine alone. Every piece of the braking, fuel, and suspension systems is also brand new. Thanks to
the Tremec racing transmission, this car can easily cruise at 60mph at only 2000RPM. It is the perfect combination
of classic look and feel with modern enhancements. No expense was spared to build it and it needs nothing but a
driver. We had a body shop quote $3000.00 to get the car completely perfect again. It has a few minor small
fiberglass cracks and chrome molding around windshield needs replacement. You'll see these in more detail in photos
upon request. Clear NV Title. Ready to be driven daily.

Exterior:
The car has been finished in beautiful Pepper Grey Metallic with Black Metallic stripes (DuPont fleet 44490 and
44435) just like the Eleanor in the movie. The paint shines from all angles and the car is absolutely flawless. The
car appears to have been well taken care of prior to restoration and shows no signs of rust or rust repair
anywhere. Of course, no Eleanor would be complete without the Eleanor kit. This car has the correct headlight
bezels, billet aluminum upper and lower grills, front lower valance, hood, front fender flares, rear fender flares,
side exhaust skirts, exhaust scoops, lower side scoops, tail lamp panel and Shelby GT500E lights to make this car
correct. The kit fits the car like a glove-all of the seams line up perfectly and it's as if the car came from the
factory with them. To complete the look, the car sits on the correct 17" Eleanor wheels and new tyres.
Interior:
This car is as perfect inside as it is outside and under the hood. It has been updated with brushed aluminum dash
panels, leather racing seats, a Lacarra wooden Shelby steering wheel and a CD player. A rollbar with 4 point
harnesses are also installed for safety. The interior looks brand new. Anti sway Bar, and a tune up just done. The
power sticks to The pavement.

Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
