1993 - Ford Mustang on 2040-cars
Barksdale, Texas, United States
Exceptionally well kept collector car with 567 ORIGINAL MILES. Second owner and first title. I bought this car from a gentleman in NC who bought it new in 1993 with a matching SVT F-150 Lightning that sat in his barn untitled for almost 20 years. My intent was to keep this car forever, but divorce is forcing sale. For all intents and purposes this car is BRAND NEW and smells like it. Climate controlled covered storage its entire life. 817 built. Original floor mats are not shown but sit in the hatchback/trunk and have never been used, in perfect shape. This car won best in class at this years Mustang Roundup in Hampton Roads, VA, and is definitely a crowd pleaser. Started and rolled once a month to keep everything functioning and lubed. A serious mustang enthusiast will know the value of this car. First year of the SVT Cobra and last year of the fox body, at 567 miles its a true collectors dream and I will cry when she goes. No low ball offers please, I know what I have here and am only being forced to list it not give it away. All reasonable offers will be considered. Here's your chance to own a like new 1993 supercharged SVT Cobra! Happy bidding! I can deliver for a little over my cost if located within a reasonable distance to South Texas. ****Update from emailed questions**** MINT* means that there are no scratches or damaged parts, etc, but you can tell that its been driven and ridden in. The only 'flaw' if you want to call it that, is the plastic 'chromed' cobra emblems are beginning to peal/separate at the edges. A VERY common thing for these cars. I would replace them for the 30, but prefer to keep them original. I attached a picture of what I am talking about, and as you can see from that, its hardly an issue, I am just a perfectionist and want it to be flawless. The supercharger was added at the dealer in the original sale. I do not have the original air box. I asked the same question from the original owner, and there is no paperwork. This can be restored to original state fairly cheaply via new parts from the internet. I have all of the original docs that came with the car: owners manuals, window sticker, front license plate bracket (not installed), and even the sample audio tape wrapped in its original plastic! I never ordered the SVT certificate, but for 40 ford will send it to you. I called them and inquired about the car and was told its 817 of 4993

XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.
Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
2015 Galpin Ford GTR1
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Last year in Monterey, we met GTR1 for the first time. Galpin Auto Sports pulled the wraps off its Ford GT-based supercar, powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-liter V8 good for a whopping 1,024 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. The thing was totally custom-made and reportedly took some 12,000 man hours to create. And there it sat on the Pebble Beach grass, $1,000,000-plus price tag and all.
This year, the Galpin was back, albeit with one big change. That twin-turbo engine? Gone. In its place, a 5.4-liter V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted on, delivering an astonishing 1,058 hp and 992 lb-ft of torque on 110-octane fuel. 0-60? 2.9 seconds. Top speed? Somewhere above 225 miles per hour.
"Some things to keep in mind: no stability control, no traction control," were the only warnings given by Galpin's Brandon Boeckmann before taking me on a quick spin in the supercar. And after having my eyes thrown into the back of my skull a few times, laughing hysterically and trying to regain full use of my hearing after my ear drums being bombarded by the apocalyptic roar behind me, Brandon pulled over and said it was my turn, if I was ready to take the wheel.
