PLEASE READ....This exact listing was originally listed on ebay nearly one week ago. It was viewed by more then 1000 persons and being watched by nearly 75 ebay accounts. After two persons recently sent messages to me stating that the discription was not in English I contacted ebay @9 a.m. on the morning of 4/10 to inquire what was happening with my listing (item #121090207684). Ebay acknowledged that my listing / account had been Hacked and that the bulk of the discription was converted to a foreign language. All I can say is that the internet is a Very Cruel Place and that Fact Is Stranger Than Fiction. Ebay immediatly terminated the listing at 6:08 (PST) and sent an email explaining such to all persons who had bid on the car. A copy of the ebays correspondences confirming this unauthorized atltering is shown at the very bottom of this discription. I requested that Ebay send a similar email to all accounts who were "watching the ad" but they refused to do so. If you want to see the hacked verbiage compared to the below listing (original prior to Hacking) go to ; Preferences...Search Option...And click on the "Completed Listings tab". Quite frankly there is no one more disappointed than I am! With that being said the following is the ad as originally generated ;
This car was purchased new by my wife and I from Chapman Ford in Lancaster Pennsylvania in early November of 2005. Soon thereafter the car was shipped to our home on Long Island. As you can imagine the car driven and thoroughly enjoyed. The car was always maintained through Sayville Ford in Sayville, New York (Long Island). All of our service records will come with the vehicle. As detailed below and as shown in the ads photos we have every document, brochure, letter, tag, sticker, invoice, build-sheet, bar-code, parer work, etc.etc.etc. related to this car. We are selling the car due to us having two children entering college with another in her third year of college. Although this was to be "Our Forever Car" life is full of disappointments and the unexpected! (I.e. Hackers) Always having placed family as the paramount priority in life leads us to this juncture wherein we are letting go of our beloved Ford GT #593.
The car was involved in a accident in June of 2009.While driving at 40 mph I successfully avoided a very deep pothole but unfortunately lost control of the car despite my best efforts. The car spun 180 degrees and then hit a 3" high curb with a bias edge. The car continued over the curb an slid across a flat 16' wide grass median before stopping on the opposite side of the road. The car never hit another car nor any other object other then the curb. Having little to no confidence in local companies and/or dealers to re-mediate the car, I did extensive research and ultimately contacted The GT Guy in South Rockwood Michigan. After speaking with them I knew that they were/are the frontrunners in Ford GT know how, technology, experience, ability and a reputation that is second to none. I then put the GT in my enclosed trailer and personally delivered it to The GT Guy. The work was preformed to the highest standard and there is absolutely NO sign of the previous incident.The mileage on the car at this time was 10,406.
The parts that were replaced are as follows; two front rims/one rear rim/three tires/RF hub and bearing assembly/half shaft/RR hub and bearing assembly/RR knuckle/RR upper & lower control arm/RR toe link/RR shock assembly/front fender/front fascia/splitter/diffuser/marker light. The total for these parts was $19,129.45. There was no structural damage, no deployment of air bag(s) and all things considered minimal damage (if there is such a thing) . ALL RECIEPTS FOR THE WORK have been retained however no pictures exist unless taken Geico (On a personal level I have always had something against taking/keeping photos of things or events that were undesirable).
While the car was at The GT Guy we had them install a Heffner Pulley & Engine Tune (with the spark plugs being properly gaped), a GTG X-Cat Back Exhaust (see pictures) and a GTG Clam Shell Release Hooks (this allows you to engage both engine hood releases at once from one side of the car or the other-see pictures). The car was Dyno'd at Baseline HP and also after performance upgrades to verify HP increase. The car Dyno'd at 550 HP and 640 HP respectively. The following is a summary of flaws which currently exist on the car; rear tires need replacement, the flapper valve on the stem leading to the gas tank allows gas intake at a slower then usual rate, three small paint chips within the engine bay on the frame reinforcing members ( see pictures of engine bay...difficult to see),one 1/8"paint chip on the front passenger fender (see picture) and minor abrasions to three rims.
I will honestly answer any questions that may arise once you have looked at the ad. Thank-you for your interest and can only hope that the car goes to someone who will enjoy it as much as we did.
Gods Blessing's to you.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang
Thu, 05 Dec 2013J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
