Warning: have a valid man-card before pressing down on these performance driving pedals! This stunning 2005 Saleen S281- car number 191 - is truly impressive and extremely fund to drive!

For Mustang fans, it doesn't get much better than hearing Steve Saleen say he's "Reunited with the Saleen brand". The car's super straight body displays a glossy layer of Saleen Silver metallic clearcoat that, judging by its smooth appearance, has been maintained with the utmost care.  This car is a 100% accident-free showpiece that's been barely broken in. .... there's essentially nothing on the car that could be considered more than prerequisite shelf wear.

So if you're looking for an exclusive muscle car that's impressive, easy to live with, and turns heads at every intersection then bid quickly on this awesome Ford Mustang before you see your buddy put it in his garage!

This Saleen is garaged kept by it's original, non-smoking owner and is absolutely like new.  This car was purchased from the inside showroom at A.C Collins Chevrolet in Houston TX in July 2005 -- the 1st year of the newly designed Mustang body style makeover by Ford. I have original window sticker, Saleen owners manual, and all literature. The car has not been driven hard and is all stock with no add-ons. I have the title in hand.

As we all know, Steve Saleen's creations have never been defined by mere stripes and stickers. Straight from his shop, this Ford's heavily re-engineered 'mod motor' makes a powerful 340 lb./ft. of low-end torque. Visually, the engine compartment comes together just as well as the outside of the car. Saleen's install is exceptionally clean and display the Saleen-branded centerpiece and clean fuel rails. The greatest advancement granted by the new Mustang platform is its ability to corner and handle any track with its Racecraft Suspension.  The 5-speed manual drives a tall 3.55 rear end that makes for super responsive wheel spin and alarming acceleration. The modified exhaust system incorporates Saleen's vacuum-actuated mufflers into custom, 2.5 inch stainless pipes. Put all this on top of high-performance Dunlop Tires (275/35ZR20) racked on Saleen's 7-spoke chome alloy wheels (9" in Front/10" in Back) and this coupe is an absolute delight to drive!

Inside, you'll find the leather sport seats a nice surprise as you gaze at the 200 MPH speedometer and Ford's "my color" instrument panel.  Crank up the Shaker 500 stereo with in-dash 6 CD changer and enjoy all the normal luxuries you'd expect in a high dollar muscle car including: cruise control, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, a power driver's seat, and remote keyless entry that's complete with built in theft deterrent software. It's always hard to describe a car that is essentially new in every way. So I'll just sum this Mustang up by saying that everything, from its ice cold air conditioning to its Saleen-branded steering wheel, is in impeccable working order.

I respond quick to emails and will send additional information and pictures if requested.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.

Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.

Now you can 3D print your favorite new Ford

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Ford is letting people build their own cars, offering digital files so people can print 3D versions of their favorite models. This is way cooler than any old Matchbox or Hot Wheels toy. Ford this week started offering printable files for the F-150 Raptor, Shelby GT350R, Focus ST and Fiesta ST. Folks can order the 3D models in 1:32 scale in plastic (that'd make the mighty large pickup truck about eight inches long) but the digital files let users tweak the scale to the their liking. Once people have the digital files, they can print out their own miniature versions of the cars, made out of soft plastics, sandstone, and even some metals. Ford says it expects demand for such files to grow as sales numbers for desktop 3D printers surges to 1 million units in 2018. That's up from about 44,000 last year. Ford already offers digital files for its company logo, the 1.0-liter engine block, and two older Mustang models. But these new models take this to a totally different scale. Check out Ford's press release below. PRINT YOUR FAVORITE FORD VEHICLE AT HOME: FORD FIRST AUTOMAKER TO OPEN ONE-STOP 3D SHOP ONLINE - Consumers can now download digital images and 3D-printable files of Ford vehicles at the first-ever automaker-licensed, one-stop 3D shop online - The Ford 3D Store offers printable files of F-150 Raptor, Shelby GT350R, Focus ST and Fiesta ST; more models will become available later - Online store is powered by TurboSquid.com, the leader in providing automotive digital imaging and 3D-printable files Want to 3D-print a Shelby GT350R at home? Or would you prefer to simply purchase an F-150 Raptor 3D digital image for a presentation? How about both? Ford fans can now download digital images for Ford vehicles at the first-ever, automaker-authorized one-stop online store for 3D-printable vehicle files. The Ford 3D Store, 3d.ford.com, allows customers to use advanced technology to make their own models of Ford vehicles of the size and material they desire, or simply opt to purchase a 3D digital file from a growing library of more than 1,000 Ford images. "3D printing at home is a growing trend, and it makes sense for us to offer our customers a chance to make their own 3D Ford models," said Mark Bentley, licensing manager, Ford Global Brand Licensing.
