Up for auction is our 2007 SHELBY HERTZ convertible. The car was sold in Florida on 5/29/08 by Hertz Surplus to a dealer here in Southern California. We purchased the car on 11/07/08 with 15,603 miles on it. The car was for my wife to drive as a second car. Yes, my wife! I have a '67 GT 500 that she wanted to go cruising in. NO WAY!! The car has been kept in our garage since we bought it and except for the stripes, the car is in great condition. The Hertz Gold stripes have some "Yellowing" spots from weather. It's our understanding that ALL cars with the vinyl stripes have this problem. We replaced the stripes shortly after we bought the car and thought about painting them on but decided to keep the car original. The top is in perfect condition along with the interior. The exterior paint has a few small chips in the paint from its rental days but NO dents or dings. As you can see, the car has been signed by Carroll himself! Well, not really. We did ad this vinyl sticker of Carroll Shelby's signature in the correct GOLD color on each side of the car before the last show we had it in. Our plan was to remove it after the show, but since it was a big hit, we left it on. It will peel right off if you don't want it. Everything on this car works!! The car has 23,626 miles on it now and we replaced the tires about 2 years ago. I am trying to locate the paperwork. We have all the service records and the original rental keys with the Hertz key tags, convertible top boot cover, original dash ID tag, some Hertz items (cup, note pad, etc.). Car can be inspected with an appointment here in Torrance, California. I will be happy to email you pictures of whatever angle you want.
Buyer is responsible for arranging pick up and all transportation fees. A $2000 deposit is required within 48 hours of auctions end. Balance can be paid by cashier's check or cash within 10 days of auctions end. All cashier's checks must clear! Car will continue to be stored in our garage for up to 30 days.
As I stated, I own a 1967 GT 500 that I bought in 1976. I paid $2,500 for it! These cars not only hold their value, but increase over the years and are a lot of fun to drive. Every time we take one out, we meet new people and make new friends! We are in NO hurry to sell this car and we have set our reserve based on what they are selling for around the country in this condition with this mileage. Good Luck!!

Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.
Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.
Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
