This is a pretty amazing car, and it Does have Electric windows, and Electric locks
The color code on this car is pretty rare their were not many made with the chamois glow paint, because it costed about 800$ extra when it was new,the radio works, This Car only has 97,300 original miles, this car has 75000 mile tires, and I have driven under 2000 miles on them, so they have around 95% tread left, and the vinyl top is the original one surpisingly, most of this car is original, and the car has NEVER been to a body shop, it was always kept in good shape.
This car is 35 years old, and the shape its in is remarkable to be that old, and a unrestored survivor.
The paint is the original paint, and this is a slightly rare original clear coat car, the original clear is peeling in some places (the roof, and trunk lid), the carpet is spotless and the interior looks good,
This car runs and drives very nicely, and comfortably, the steering is very easy, and the suspension is amazing, this car floats down the road, because it has the 302 v8, the transmission shifts great, I love this car and I hate to sell it, but I am interested in something else.
The carpet is new, and looks great, when the old carpet was being  pulled out I noticed that the floor pans were like new in this car, and still had all the factory, so you are getting a very good car.
AC is not working at the moment, but if it was working the price would be higher, but I was told it was around a 200$ fix, so its not too bad.
ALL LOCKS WORK INCLUDING GLOVE BOX
This great car starts on the first try every time, even though I dont drive it much.

THIS IS NO RUST BUCKET, IT IS A SOUTHERN CAR, AND ONLY HAS ONE DENT, THATS LESS THAN THE SIZE OF A QUARTER
Buyer is responsible for shipping/ or pickup
 In the picture of the back of the car I was only covering up the tag number for security reasons
This is an amazing car and it is worth the money
I baby this car and dont drive it a lot, but it can be daily driven, this car is a great car and an amazing driving experience, the buyer will not be dissapointed.

Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.

Self-driving cars' problem (besides making them work): Too many players, not enough profit

Tue, Aug 8 2017

For an detailed, interactive graphic about the many players in autonomous cars, click here. FRANKFURT/DETROIT — BMW and Daimler, the world's top luxury carmakers, have announced alliances with suppliers, talking up the virtues of having a bigger pool of engineers to develop a self-driving car. But another motive behind these deals, executives and industry experts told Reuters, is a concern that robocars may not live up to the profit expectations that drove an initial investment rush. Carmakers are increasingly looking to forego outright ownership of future autonomous driving systems in favor of spreading the investment burden and risk. The trend represents a clear shift in strategy from little more than a year ago when most automakers were pursuing standalone strategies focused on tackling the engineering challenge of developing a self-driving car, rather than on the business case. "Although it is a substantial market, it may not be worth the scale of investments currently being sunk into it," said a board member at one of the German carmakers, who declined to be identified because the matter is confidential. Dozens of companies — including carmakers and tech firms like Google and Uber — are vying for a market which, according to consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, will only make up about 10 to 15 percent of vehicles in Europe by 2030. There are sure to be losers. "It's impossible for me to believe there will be 50 successful autonomous vehicle software producers," said John Hoffecker, global vice chairman of Michigan-based consulting firm AlixPartners. In July last year, BMW became the first major carmaker to abandon its solo development of self-driving cars in favor of teaming up with chipmaker Intel and camera and software manufacturer Mobileye to build a platform for autonomous cars technology by 2021. The decision followed a trip by senior executives to visit startups and suppliers to gauge BMW's competitive position. "Sitting at other companies, one rattles off the technological challenges and safety aspects, and you come to realize that many of us are swimming in the same sludge," Klaus Buettner, BMW's vice president autonomous driving projects, told Reuters. "Everybody is investing billions.

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Ford'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.
