Email me at : duhawdarylrosen@netcourrier.com
Selling my personal 2010 Ford F-150 Platinum. Reason for selling is that I would like to get the Raptor. Needless to say and count the numerous factory options that the Platinum Trip already has, which at the top of my head I can count: Bluetooth Calling and Audio connectivity, Rear View Camera, Automatic Headlights, Automatic Windshield Wipers, Automatic Door steps that only extend when the door is open. Heated and Cooled front seats and heated rear seats. LED interior trim light with over 5 color variations for an extra luxurious look at night. Now to the list of upgrades I put on this truck:1) 5 Nitto Mud Grappler with XD black 20 wheels: $3,000 parts and labor 2) Passport Laser Radar 9500ci with GPS location and 3 Radars: $2,500 parts and labor3) Ranch Hand front Bumper: $1,900 parts and labor4) Ranch Hand 2 projector lights for front bumper: $500 parts and labor5) Roll and Lock leather bed cover: $1,500 parts and labortotal upgrades: $9,400 The truck drives like a dream and handles amazing with wheels and tires. the cons are two things. the mpg i get 14 mpg combined and the moonroof is inoperative. never cared to see why the moonroof button is unfunctional because in Texas we dont open windows. the engine and transmission are as smooth as it could be. all buttons on the inside are function except the moonroof button

Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.
Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown
Sun, 18 May 2014A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
