1967 Shelby Gt500 Fastback on 2040-cars
Wilson, North Carolina, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : mattmkkneedler@f1drivers.com .
This is a 1967 Shelby mustang that is very rare and low mileage. It was a drag racer back in the day and by that
being said you should know its not a 100% factory assembly line matching #'s correct. The original owner back in
the day bought this car from J.D.BALL FORD in Miami Fl and within a week blew up the original engine and i was told
that the dealer picked it up from a drag strip and towed it to the dealership. With the warrantee still in effect
there was some disagreement between the owner and the adjuster after he found out where they picked it up at (DRAG
STRIP) , so the owner made a deal with them by buying a over the counter 427 hi performance engine and replace the
original 428 PI. The dealer installed the 427 and he was back on the road, so all in all its a dealer installed 427
engine. later the automatic transmission was replaced to a big spline 428 toploader transmission RUG-AE. the
interior is all original with hardly any wear. i was told it got its red/orange paint in the late 90's and still
looks pretty good today. I use to drive this car alot but its only been driven a few times in the last 2 years so
its time to let it go. The original owner made this car what shelby should have offered 427 engines rule! after i
bought it i had the 427 rebuilt useing the best of the best you could buy. the engine had less than 30k miles and i
had it bored .030 over and i have put nearly 500 miles since the rebuild. also when we changed the distributor to
MSD electronic it did not come with instructions on tach hook up and i left it unhooked till i can get more info.
cant get much info on the MSD hotline. this car dyno was 630HP at rear wheels.

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.
