Offered for your consideration is a very special 2006 Shelby GT-H. Shelby American Automobiles serial number CSM 06H354, this vehicle is one of only 500 GT-H’s built in 2006, and is one of only 23 sold to Hertz Vice Presidents, thus never saw rental car duty. These Executive Cars were never placed in the rental fleet.   I am the second owner of this vehicle, having purchased it from the original owner Hertz VP directly. It has led a pampered life, showing only 8804 miles on the odometer, as of this ad placement. Always garaged, and never driven in inclement weather.   This car is for the discerning collector. Its pedigree is legendary, having been produced to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Hertz’s original tie up with Carroll Shelby back on 1966. This GT-H comes complete with literally a stunning level of documentation, including: original Ford window sticker, original invoice from Shelby Automobiles to Hertz for work performed at Shelby’s Las Vegas shop, what appears to be every email correspondence between the Hertz VP who purchased the vehicle new and the Hertz organization facilitating its production and shipment, and collateral ephemera made available by Hertz to the purchasing VP.   The car is in close to mint condition, although there are a couple very small paint/stripe blemishes. Car is completely original - no cosmetic item replacements, etc. Mechanically, it is excellent, and passed an extensive state safety inspection a short time ago. The car is 100% stock and unmodified, with only a replacement Ford battery.   All 2006 Shelby GT-H’s began as 2006 Ford Mustang GT Premium cars, however Hertz tweaked the normal package, for example substituting the V6 car’s faux rear gas cap featuring the pony instead of the standard GT cap. The vehicles were shipped to the Las Vegas Shelby American facility for conversion into true, serialized Shelby vehicles. Shelby work performed included Ford Racing performance suspension & handling package installation, Ford Racing exhausts and pipes, addition of a cold air intake, computer reflash, conversion of the dual exhaust into a free-flowing exhaust with X-pipe in place of the standard Ford H-pipe, 3.55 rear axle gearing not available from Ford directly on automatic equipped 2006 Mustang GT’s, exclusive fiberglass hand made Shelby hood with locking pins, unique front clip, unique grill, Hertz racing stripes, unique exterior and interior badging, steel wire with lead clasp engine tether to prohibit engine tampering, and unique Hertz exterior chrome fender badges.     I am happy to work with buyer to facilitate their chosen transportation as reasonable. Full payment in hand/bank cleared on checks and money orders required to facilitate transfer of ownership/ handover to transportation company. The bottom line is this is one of the very finest 2006 Shelby GT-H’s in existence. There is NO other GT-H better documented than this vehicle. If you must have the very best example, please give this car your serious consideration.

Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.

From CrabWalks at dawn to post-testing sushi: An inside look at Autoblog’s Tech of the Year Award

Thu, Dec 1 2022

TROY, Mich. — On a chilly fall morning, Senior Editor John Snyder rolled into a sleepy suburban park tucked away next to a cemetery a few miles north of Detroit. Driving diagonally — CrabWalking — in the GMC Hummer EV, he made quite the entrance as he maneuvered across the parking lot to the bemusement of Autoblog editors and a few curious park-goers up for their early morning runs.  Snyder got everyoneÂ’s attention, and as we evaluate the latest wave of technologies transforming the automotive industry, pizazz matters. We added "wow factor" to our criteria for the 2022 Autoblog Technology of the Year Award, in keeping with the times. The HummerÂ’s CrabWalk feature might have won, had wowness been the only criteria, but we also scored the technologies on significance and how well they work.  As it was, the Hummer finished a competitive second this year, behind FordÂ’s Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch, which make towing and hauling easier for modern truck owners. The Genesis GV60Â’s Biometrics was within striking distance in third place, bringing the facial recognition and fingerprint tech commonly used in phones to your car. For more on FordÂ’s win — its second straight Autoblog Technology of the Year Award — read Road Test Editor Zac PalmerÂ’s complete recap. Many have asked: Why do Tech of the Year? For Autoblog, itÂ’s been a point of pride for nearly a decade. In the early days it was a way to differentiate ourselves from print magazines, some of which have been giving out car of the year awards since the early days of the Cold War. With Tech of the Year, we seek to highlight the ways experiencing a vehicle is changing. It was true in 2013 and resonates even more as we head into 2023. Cars and transportation have changed more in the past decade than in arguably the previous four. At its most basic experience, driving a 1985 Buick LeSabre with a decent radio and comfy interior was not all that different from driving a 2005 Buick Lacrosse. Just a few years later, many cars had touchscreens, the internet and some means of driver assistance. Ford joins Tesla as the only two-time winner of Tech of the Year. The Blue Oval captured the award last year for its Pro Power Onboard generator. Tesla won in 2014 for its Supercharger network, and the Model S won in 2016, when we briefly gave out a “technology car” of the year award, in addition to honoring a particular feature.

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.
