Extremely fuel-efficient. I drove from Arden, Ontario to Burlington, Ontario and back, and used just over a half-tank.
I had the braking module changed on it since I bought it used in 2012. I drove out west with it and back, in -30c weather in the winter time, and the brakes work great. I had two minor front end collisions that were not the car's fault. One, because of tires and very bad road, and the other because of night-time driving. All Ford model parts replacement, no after market. Front bumper changed and some little things. I can provide a list for serious interest only. I have gotten excellent Ford report cards on the car. Interior charcoal fabric. Car starter, remote lock and factory alarm system, combination entry on driver's side, very beautiful rims, ambient lights under the side mirrors that show off the car, at night. Very comfortable seating. Back seats all have adjustable headrests and good leg room. (I am tall!) It has all the bells and whistles, except for sunroof. Hands-free phone connection, digital display and computer plugins, satellite, 6 cd changer, driver and front passenger separate environmental controls, multiple power plugins for cell phone or anything that plugs into a cigarette lighter. BTW, this is a non-smoking vehicle. This car does not need to be plugged in - ever - since I had it. It self charges when it runs. It is very quiet when in gas mode, and silent when in electric mode. It alternates on its own between modes, depending on your acceleration, or also, when it is idle. When idle, it will alternate every 10-12 minutes between modes. I have kept up with oil changes. If you put the high-quality oil, you do not need to change it for about 10,000km. And I recommend going to Ford for tune-ups - as this is their specialty car that they know well. It doesn't cost me more to go to a Ford dealer, in fact, they want to be competitive, so it has worked out for me. This is the most fuel-efficient, one of the most comfortable, and one of the sexiest cars I have ever driven. My circumstances have changed and I need to sell it. This is a nice car for a professional or for your wife! There is a lien on this car. Please email me for offers. Negotiable. |

Ford wants smart cruise that's speed and grade sensitive
Thu, Jul 23 2015Ford is working to make adaptive cruise control even smarter and more economical for future vehicles. The automaker now has a patent (pdf link) on a system to use information on the grade of the road, traffic data, and a driver's preferences to eke out better fuel mileage over a journey. This solution would essentially put a little hypermiling right into a model's software. The Blue Oval's patent refers to this tech as "route navigation with optimal speed profile," and the system starts by splitting the way to the driver's ultimate destination into many smaller pieces. Each one is analyzed based on GPS data, and traffic info is also constantly updated. Based on the occupants' preferred travel time, all this info is combined to figure out the most efficient speed for each leg of the journey. All of these calculations are actually more than the car's computers can handle, so some of the math is offloaded to a cloud-based network. According to Ford, some of the benefits come when tackling hills while diving. Maintaining a single speed when going up and down steep grades isn't the most efficient method, but current technology can't easily make the necessary adjustments. This system uses the GPS data to adapt the vehicle's speed and leave the situation with better fuel economy. Ford is currently making major investments into autonomous driving technology and has some prestigious partners. While the patent documents don't specifically mention the optimal speed profiles for driverless vehicles, they seem like a natural fit. Over the course of an entire trip, the fuel economy gains would likely be even greater than over a few miles on a relatively flat interstate.
eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype
Wed, 08 May 2013Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.
