Bluesmobile From Blues Brothers 2000, Original Movie Car. on 2040-cars
United States
|
Up for sale is 1 of the surviving Bluesmobiles from Blues Brothers 2000 (the second Movie)
This particular car was the one featured with the Militia boat and dance sequence at Ed's Love Exchange.. William Boyd created the car (along with the 16 others) and it is he from whom this 1990 Ford Crown Vic 302 Bluesmobile was purchased. RESUME: <a href="www.imdb.com/name/nm1512539></a> FEATURED WORK: <a href="www.flickr.com/photos/pigpen333/sets/72157613633904167></a> She does require some TLC but is original from the movie. The 9 survivors were worker Bees and thus I have left her as is in that there is no new paint, graphics work or re-engineering. I have added a Sony Xplode and that's about it. The Mojo is intact right down to when Dan Aykroyd had backed into something... ;) The major distress is a rotted cross member obviously due to the Canadian winters. It should be noted that this particular car was not submerged. Four cars were used in that movie sequence where it supposedly drives under the Ohio River. One engine-less car loaded with concrete was pushed IN by truck, One was built with an aquarium surround to show fish floating around, Another engine-less car was finally pulled by truck OUT of the water. My car, the 4th, was used for the beauty shot with the boat. For those not interested in repairing right away I think it's pedigree would make it an ideal center piece for a Blues themed bar much like the Cadillac in the Hard Rock Cafe! Cash or certified bank check accepted. |

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype sells for $7M
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.
