Being offered for sale is a true modern day classic 2006 Ford GT painted in the very desirable red with all four options, racing stripes, red calipers, lightweight BBS wheels and the McIntosh stereo. Car comes with the original window sticker, Ford GT duffle bag cover as well a beautiful Covercraft car cover, 2 keys & remotes, manuals, compressor, etc.

 The car has had two owners (including myself) who have thoroughly enjoyed driving this thrilling car. The first owner was from Louisiana so car is U.S. production that required no modifications for Canada as speedometer had both mph and kilometers. The car has never been driven on a track, just highway driving. Since new this car has been extremely well maintained by Ford and always stored indoors. This Ford GT is an excellent example showing minimal signs of the 23,946 miles of use. That is only about 3,000 enjoyable (highway) miles year. As the car was meant to be driven, there is 3 M protection on the nose of the car, rocker panels and rear panels behind the rear wheels. You can leave the 3 M protection in place or remove it. I won't go into the details of what a Ford GT is as if you're looking for a Ford GT, you already know about the performance characteristics of the car.

  The car has had a recent oil change as well as the spark plugs replaced. A detailed multi-point inspection was performed in June.. Everything checked out and the inspection form is attached. All four tires were replaced about 1,500 miles ago. I have an extra set of rear tires for sale for $1,200 U.S. for the pair. The passenger side wheels had some "curb scuffs" on them and I replaced both of them. The old wheels are available at n/c if you want them.  There are a few road minor chips on the paint that have been repaired by a body shop. The car is in A-1 mechanical condition!

 Attached is a recent copy of the AutoCheck vehicle history report for the car.

  I have two new cars coming and have run out of room in my garage. I have thoroughly enjoyed this car but I'm now looking forward to my "new drives". There were just a little over 4,400 of these cars made through 2005/2006 and the prices are really starting to escalate. If you're thinking of purchasing one of these cars, sooner is better than later. The car is priced to sell at $219,000 in U.S. funds.

  The vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty expressed or implied. All shipping arrangements and costs associated shipping are the responsibility of the buyer. I encourage any prospective buyers to examine the car prior to purchasing.

China's woes sandbag Detroit automakers

Sun, Jul 19 2015

Through the first six months of this year, China's auto market is actually up 8.4 percent from the same period in 2014. Still, automakers aren't optimistic after June's 3.2 percent dip in year-over-year sales. Last month marked the first drop in China since February 2013, and the decline could extend through the coming months, which is a concern according to a number of analysts. In Detroit, General Motors might take the brunt of the damage, but Ford could feel some heat too. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers is already responding to the June dip by predicting annual sales to grow only three percent this year, rather than seven percent that had been predicted earlier in the year, according to The Detroit News. Ford and GM will both release their second quarter earnings before the end of July, and those figures will give the industry a much better idea about the automakers' performance in China. Due to China's massive growth, both Ford and GM have made significant investments there. In 2014, GM announced $14 billion to make the country a focal point, including a goal of 5 million annual sales. Ford, for its part, opened 88 new Chinese dealers in one day alone last year. It has also been working to grow Lincoln since the brand's launch in 2014.The Detroit News took a much deeper look into Detroit's exposure in China, with the overall gist being that we're all uncertain about how things are going to shake out. Some industry analysts feel this is just a temporary blip, while other are much more worried. If you have any interest in the auto market there or its affect on the Big Three, the piece is well worth a read.

2016 Ford Mustang SVT hides big power under its domed hood

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

With a number of 2015 Ford Mustang versions finally available to configure, the fun of speculating about next year's high-performance 'Stang can now begin. It looks like Ford has something seriously fun planned too. One of our spy photographers just snapped some fresh pics of the 2016 Mustang SVT, which is believed to be hiding the final body shape under all of that heavy camouflage.
Ford clearly doesn't want prying eyes looking at its new pride and joy. It would be hard to put much more obfuscation on a car than this one wears - it even has mesh baffles around the exhausts to conceal how many there are and panels over the wheels to hide their design. However, the Blue Oval can't keep everything a secret. The biggest clue that something special is hidden underneath is the massive hood bulge and vent in front of it. Clearly, whatever is under there is hungry for cool air. The shape of the camo indicates that there may be fender vents on each side, and there are also obscured outlets behind the front wheels likely to pull cool air through the brakes. At the rear, the concealment does its job, making it hard to observe any big changes. The fact that Ford wants it kept such a secret might indicate something, though.
A few photos of the interior show far less cover than the outside. You can easily make out the model's 6,500 rpm redline with a possible 7,000 rpm over-rev function. The big Recaro sport seats also look quite supportive.

Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.
