1968 Ford Mustang on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
BODY:
As you can see from the photos, this 1968 Mustang Eleanor Fastback has a very nice body. The car was
professionally painted and restored with Black Shelby G.T. 500E stripes over the movie correct Pepper Gray Metallic
body. We started with a True Mustang Fastback with a clean title and absolutely no rust. The underside is all
original with solid floor pans, great frame rails, strong torque boxes. The panels on this car show a nice fit
that cut and polished to a deep gloss finish. Shelby fiberglass body kit was professionally installed. We used
a Eleanor Metal Hood. The body lines are Laser Straight. Our Eleanor body kit includes all the correct movie car
features, including the custom dual-exhaust for that deep throaty rumble you would expect from a professionally
built Eleanor Mustang.
INTERIOR:
The interior is also professionally restored. All the electric components work as they should. All of the new
soft trim is new and restored. The Interior looks and feels excellent including all new:
Seat Upholstery
Carpet
Dash Pad
Door Panels
Console
Stereo
Ice Cold Air Conditioning
Fold-down Rear Seat
Engine / Mechanics

This Mustang starts with a flick of the ignition and holds the road very well. The car features newly restored
suspension, new disc brakes on all 4 corners, new steering components. Power is put to the pavement through a
crisp rebuilt C4 automatic transmission. Just about every component is NEW, or has been newly replaced or
restored. No overheating issues. The car boasts of rack and pinion power steering, air conditioning and power

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.
Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?
Wed, 30 Oct 2013A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.
