Okay lets get right to it, if your looking for a Purdy $40,000+ New Mustang GT with all the options, (lets not forget thats before you bring it to PBH, Steeda, Roush and ring up another $10,000-$30,000) This car may or may not be for you.  No kid car here, I'm 50+ This Beast for sale here is raw, untamed, cross breed between yesterdays muscle cars and more recent road warriors. With performance upgrades that support each other, not just engine. The idle is so smooth, almost deceitful, tuned by Lund racing at Power By the Hour. If you have been looking for a weekend classic car for shows and cruise night, that needs the final steps, or have been looking for a road warrior, and you just feel the need, THE NEED FOR SPEED, and can live with a few imperfections this is your car(that's me till I got injured). Also the 1996-1998 has the hood with the nostrils, that I am a huge fan of.  This car is A BODY/PAINT man/woman Dream, cuz all she needs is cosmetic work. The asking price for what is included is low. You usually get what you pay for. However, in this case you get much more! You will instantly have the feeling of knowing exactly what your ride has, that normally comes from several months of tinkering and upgrading, and the paperwork (receipts) to back it up. Rust free body could be prepped and painted, or drive it like you stole it "AS IS"

 I am regularly complimented on the exhaust note of the Gods, even by people that say I'm not a Ford guy(recently that happened) but wow what a sound! Please email cobratt@live.com for any questions,. Youtube link, search 1997 sc cobra, You will thank yourself later. Full Specs Below:

However, the hood, top, and trunk lid are loosing the clear coat(see photos). Also, a month ago i was tapped in a 3 way turn, center lane driver went straight and nicked just behind the drivers door, very minor. The front of the car is a deep metallic purple that fades back into ghost flames. It is the least updated component of the car. It was next on the to do list. Other stand outs, the steering wheel leather wrap showing signs if age, and the driver power seat motors blow fuses ever so often due to age, not a problem if you are the only driver, fuses are cheap, and I was considering racing seats down the road. The engine bay could use some spit and polish. However that's about it for the to do list. Items listed as new are the most recent features, all others not to far behind. Receipts available and will go to the buyer.
Lets not forget the basics, before all the power adders. Ford ice cold A.C. that was also recently updated, and every other accessory that comes with a Cobra. Everything works. Interior great condition, no rips, cracks or problems. Oh yeah those are Cobra Golf Club Head Covers, to cover the floor ends of  Roll bar when not in use, as to not catch the bottom of your jeans. Mileage is not an issue with all the updates, Also non smoker owners always, and I am the 3rd owner. So much for those other ads that say too much to list, never understood that.

Good Luck and thx for looking, I also have shipping out of state available of needed

Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton ­similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.

Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
