This is a 2005 Ford GT. It has approximately 57,300 miles on it which is somewhat unique for a Ford GT. In accordance with the miles, the car had a couple of small paint chips but the body is perfectly straight and there is no dents or dings in any panel. We are representing/selling this GT for a client and friend. At Cool Tech, we have serviced and or modified well over 150 unique Ford GT’s and we know these cars very well and we will be very straightforward with any prospective buyer regarding the condition of this car. The Carfax report will show an incident for this car – namely the Carfax says, “accident, car hit a curb” We think that may be a little bit modest and in our opinion the front left fender has been replaced – but painted perfectly to match the car. In summary, the “bads” on this car may be the Carfax incident and the mileage at 57K. However, there are so many good things about this car! In our opinion, it is a perfect driver’s car. The valuation if this cars keeps going up and up and up. As such, not many of them are really driven. But this car can be driven… and we want to provide our assurances from Cool Tech that this car is fully ready to be enjoyed!! This car has all 4 of the factory options. Painted stripes, painted calipers, macintosh subwoofer/stereo, and the optional BBS rims (now about $4500 each!). When the owner brought us this car he had a list of modifications that he wanted performed. We installed a rear bumper delete kit complete with our Cool Tech rear bumper delete exhaust. We did a full service on the car changing coolant and engine oil & filter. The owner reported a problem on 4th to 3rd gear downshifts. We test drove the car and determined that upshifts were always perfect but the 4th to 3rd downshift would almost always incur a brief grind. Clearly, just a 3rd gear syncro. But, as you may know, parts for these transaxles are simply not available so we purchased a brand new transaxle from Ford ($18,000). At the same time, we replaced both the clutch and throwout bearing. All of these components are brand new in this car. We retained the old transaxle and this will go with the sale of this car. I mentioned previously that we installed a rear bumper delete kit. All of the OEM components from the original configuration will go with the car. This includes the bumper, the frame horns, exhaust and the large screens. All of these items are in as-oem condition. We also replaced the rear diffuser as some of the bottom fiberglass edges had scuffs on them. The car is a solid car, fully serviced and ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.

Bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta hams it up for International Bacon Day

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

This is a bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta. It is a real thing, that a real, multi-billion-dollar company designed. And it isn't even April Fools' Day. Designed for International Bacon Day, which is also apparently a thing, the 2014 Fiesta is finished in Green Envy paint - we're told black paint, like the color of a skillet, made the car look camouflaged - and features 10 gigantic decals depicting strips of tender, cured bacon.
The design, which was approved by the CEO of Benton's Country Hams, Allan Benton, show off the depth of Ford's Custom Graphics program. Unbelievably, Ford will actually start offering bacon decals to everyday customers, including (and we can't believe we're writing this) dual bacon racing stripes which will no doubt have Carroll Shelby spinning and/or salivating in his grave, and a "side of bacon," which wraps a couple of strips over the rear wheels.
Benton, who Ford claims is the King of Bacon, had this to say: "This car just makes so much sense." The Fiesta's marketing manager, Liz Elser added, "It's just awesome to drive down the road in a piece of bacon."

Ford previews new C-Max ahead of upcoming debut

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Looking at a Ford Focus? These days you can get it as a five-door hatch, a four-door sedan, or... that's all. European buyers don't even get our sedan, but they do get a wagon. And while the three-door hatch, two-door coupe and two-door cabrio have long since ended production, buyers around the world can also get the company's larger C-Max. And now, like the Focus upon which it's based, Ford is preparing to roll out a new version.
The tall wagon (or small minivan, depending on your perspective) is being treated to what Ford says is "an extreme makeover." Details to accompany the teaser image above remain few and far between, but following the spy shots we recently posted, it looks destined for some of the same visual updates as Ford rolled out on the 2015 Focus, with "even more refinement, practicality and technology."
Like the Mercedes B-Class, which is only available Stateside as an EV, American buyers can only get the C-Max in electrified form, either as the C-Max Hybrid or C-Max Energi. Overseas buyers, however, will be able to choose from a range of powertrain options and two wheelbase lengths - the longer of which boasts seven seats and the Grand C-Max name. (Remember when Chrysler did the same with its minivans?) Both are set to debut on September 17, so watch this space. After that, we'll expect to see it on display at the Paris Motor Show.
