1995 Ford Taurus Roadster Project on 2040-cars
Davenport, Iowa, United States
|
This started life as a 1995 Ford Taurus sedan that has had severe modifications to be the state it's in currently. This has been a fun project to work on however since losing my shop space I no longer have time or space to complete.
The body has a completely custom one-off fiberglass kit applied to it that is 90% or so complete. Everything is completely molded into the car with the exception of the driver side skirt which does come with the vehicle. The headlights are driving lights wired to work as head lights. The taillights are LED's behind the fiberglass which show up through the glass when lit. The underbody of the car is reinforced with 2" x 2" box steel and the roof has been cut along with the window frames on the doors. The guts of the doors have been removed however the inside door handles are in tact and function as the outside handles have been shaved. There is a 2000 Mustang Convertible dashboard installed in the car and an instrument cluster from a 94-95 mustang installed and functional. There is also an LCD monitor installed in the steering wheel that does function when the wheel turns. Also included with the car is the interior components that I have for it. As you can see the door panels were previously wrapped in crushed velvet by the previous owner along with part of the seats and panels. I also have other parts included with the car including the Taurus instrument cluster showing the car has 65k miles (The mustang cluster installed currently has just under 100k on it) on the body/drive train before it underwent surgery. This car DOES run and drive however I would not drive it far since its essentially had zero miles on it for several years. I do however start the car from time to time and move it in and out of the garage as I work on other projects it will will need a trailer to get it home. This is a project and WILL need some work before it can be driven. The title is clean and clear and in my hand. Car is sold as/is with no warranty implied. Pickup within 7 days unless other terms are worked out with seller. |

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City
Thu, 02 May 2013Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.

Ring Brothers shows 1965-66 Mustang fastback carbon fiber body
Thu, 07 Nov 2013We covered one of Ring Brothers' more extreme SEMA builds yesterday, the De Tomaso Pantera-based ADRNLN, but if that well-executed but over-the-top Italian-American exotic is too much for you, then perhaps this Ring Brothers 1965 Ford Mustang fastback with a carbon-fiber body suits your tastes better.
What the performance-parts manufacturer is showcasing with the Mustang is the carbon-fiber body itself, which is fashioned around the 1965-66 fastback. It can be bought from the company and bonded to the skin and unibody as a do-it-yourself project, or you can take your Mustang to Ring Brothers and have the body installed there. The fenders, doors and quarter panels are two-inches wider than stock, and Ring Brothers offers a custom widebody chassis to those who want the complete package.
The show car looks sharp in person lowered on HRE wheels, and we appreciate the bare front end so we can see the supercharged V8 and front coilover suspension, though the details on those performance upgrades are slim. Also note the custom independent rear suspension setup at the rear.
