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's simple suit makes you feel like a drunk driver

Tue, Mar 25 2014

We've all heard about the dangers of drunk driving for practically our entire lives. Whether it's from PSAs on TV or lectures in school, no one can claim ignorance of drunk driving being extremely dangerous. However, that doesn't prevent some people from still doing it. Ford is trying to take the safety message directly to young drivers with a special suit that allows them to simulate driving under the influence. It is all part of Ford's Driving Skills for Life program that gives free driving education to young people. The program is meant to "train kids in skills they don't learn in driver's ed," said Kelli Felker, Ford Safety Communications Manager, to Autoblog. The drivers don a few items to impair their senses and make them off-balance to simulate having a few too many drinks and then go out on a closed course with an instructor to see the effects. Felker said that the suit is a new part of the program, and Ford just received the outfit in the US. It will be incorporated into the training here in the late spring or early summer. Scroll down to see the effect it has on drivers in Europe. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.

National Geographic Channel balances Ford F-150 on four coffee mugs

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Proving that there is still something to be learned on television these days, National Geographic Channel recently introduced a new series called Duck Quacks Don't Echo. On the first episode of this science/comedy show, host Michael Ian Black proposes the idea that a truck can be supported with a ceramic coffee mug under each wheel - yes, he says that the entire weight of a truck can be balanced on just four coffee mugs.
Looking to find out whether this is fact or myth, the show uses a regular cab Ford F-150, weighing in at 4,800 pounds, and four average coffee mugs. Lowered onto the mugs, the idea is quickly put to the test. Can the cups hold up under 4,800 pounds? If so, what, exactly, would it take to break them? Scroll down below to find out.
