2006 Ford Gt on 2040-cars
Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada
|
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 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. It also had a very small noise in the transaxle that a potential buyer most likely wouldn't have noticed, but I noticed it. A new transaxle was installed at the Broadway Ford Dealership in Green Bay, Wi on June 16, 2014 and the transaxle carries a 24 month unlimited mileage warranty from that date. A detailed multi-point inspection was performed at the same time. Everything checked out and the inspection form is attached as well as the work order and warranty for the transaxle. 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. The car is in A-1 mechanical condition! Attached is a recent copy of the AutoCheck vehicle history report for the car. There are a few road chips on the paint that has been repaired by a body shop. I've tried to show them in the pictures but it is very hard to see them. 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. Other than the warranty on the transaxle from Broadway Ford in Green Bay, 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. |

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
Woman reunited with stolen Mustang after 28 years
Sun, Dec 28 2014An enthusiast Christmas story: Salinas, California resident Lynda Alsip bought a 1967 Ford Mustang in 1984 when she was 17 years old, having saved $800 after a summer of toil at a grocery store. She got a vanity plate that read "LYNDA67," for the year she was born, but she only got to enjoy the car for two years: in 1986, after a night out, someone stole it from her apartment complex. She hadn't seen it since. Then a man – another Salinas resident – tried to register the car at the DMV this year. He said he bought it as a project car in 1991, yet the DMV couldn't find any record of it. The DMV office sent the case of the untraceable car to the California Highway Patrol, where Officer Christopher Menchen dug into the records, and his search paid off. The officer located Alsip's stolen record report from 1986 and connected the Mustang to it's registered owner in 1986, who was Alsip's mother. The CHP found the forest green Mustang in the man's garage, and they figure it's been there since 1991. After waiting through the still-ongoing three-month investigation, the CHP reunited Alsip – now a wife and a mother of two – with her car on December 22. It's undriveable, but her original vanity plate is back on and she plans to restore it. The video above has the story.

Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?
Wed, 30 Oct 2013A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.
