Up for auction is my 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra 1 of 1. It is a one of one as it was recorded for the show Knight Rider (2009). I worked on the show and the sound of the car in the show is my/this car. I hate to sell it but I bought another car and this one just sits. Not is a rush to sell, but will entertain all offers. The car will come with Three signed letters from the Knight Rider sound supervisor, the Sound FX editor/Recordist, and myself. It was mic'd up under the hood and on the rear bumper for the stereo recording. A GT500 was used as the car BUT the sound of the car was actually this 2003 cobra. I will also include an audio CD (and wav files if requested) with some of the source audio recordings. Now more about the car itself. I am the only and original owner since new, purchased September 2002. The car has 81k miles. The only modifications have been: A 2.76 pulley (since 13k miles), dyno tune, Cold air intake, short throw shifter, and a Mac 3 inch catback only (so it passes smog every time). The car has always run great, I had it tuned a little rich as not to push the motor. Only mechanical repairs in 10 years have been: Rear pumpkin reseal (common on these, under warranty years ago), alternator, water pump? (cant recall), radiator, 02 sensors, batteries and a clutch. The car only left me stranded once in 10 years and that was when the alternator died. Never had the dreaded tick that some cobras had. The brake pads were replaced within the last 6 months (not sure if rotors can be resurfaced or not next time). Tires are in great shape all around. The clutch was done at about 50k miles and currently is just ok, minor marbling sounds (quiets down when clutch depressed) the last 10,000 miles but works well, no slipping at all. The car was hit 3 times. In 2003 the drivers rear quarter panel and rear bumper were repaired, ~2007 the drivers fender and front bumper were repaired, and lastly the front bumper/headlight/hood were pushed in and cracked in and never repaired. please see pics. The exterior and interior are in POOR to fair condition. I say this honestly as the paint is faded in spots, long scratch on hood (Keyed at dodger game), some surface scratches and scuffs around car, the drivers seat is ripped pretty bad, headliner is sagging just a bit in the back (not so bad to affect rear view really), boost gauge only works sometimes (usually when cold). Kelly blue book on a fair condition 2003 cobra is ~13,200.00 and ~15,400.00 for good condition (which this one falls short of). Of course KBB does not factor in 1 of 1 :) Please feel free to see the car in person and have the car inspected before Bidding. All Sales will be final, the car is sold as is. Paypal deposit is due within 48 hours in the amount of 1000.00. the balance and vehicle pickup must be made within 5 days from auction end. Cash in person is preferred but paypal will be accepted (very small fee may be added if paypal is used), The car is in Studio City, CA. PICKUP/Local sales only OR USA Out of state buyers MUST arrange their own transportation, contact me before auction end, and use paypal. Serious buyers ONLY. I listed this car as honestly as I can please check my feedback. Ask ANY and ALL questions before bidding/offering. This is a one of one 2003 cobra, audio recorded for the sound of K.I.T.T in the Knight Rider 2009 Series. Thanks for looking, make me an offer I can't refuse!

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
2018 Ford Expedition spied looking stylish
Tue, Sep 6 2016The Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator got a cool reception for their 2015 warmed-over redesign. But with big, high-riding vehicles once again in vogue, Ford is pushing ahead with a ground-up redesign of its biggest SUVs. Based on these spy shots, the Expedition will continue to serve as the Navigator's more affordable twin. Yes, that's a bold prediction, considering we still haven't spotted Lincoln testing the new Navigator, but study the greenhouses on this Expedition prototype and the Navigator Concept from New York – from the arrow-straight belt line to the extra-long rear window to the aggressively raked windshield, this Expedition's overall profile is broadly similar to what Lincoln previewed earlier this year. While our spies claim the new Expedition will look to the F-150 for design inspiration, we see a departure from past Expedition tradition. Unlike the supposed Expedition spy shots we showed you nearly a year ago – which was nothing more than an SUV with an F-150's nose grafted on, this prototype's front-end styling looks softer and more aerodynamic, with a smaller grille and headlights, almost like an Escape or Edge. This kind of change would explain the additional front-end camouflage. In back, our spies rightly point out that Ford fitted a faux rear end to disguise the rear window's rake – expect the real thing to feature the angled rear window previewed on the Navigator Concept. Look at the last image in the gallery for a better idea of how the Expedition's rear window will actually look. We can't say a lot about the taillights, because of the camo, but non-LED taillights are present. We'd expect Ford to offer LEDs on higher trim levels. While the F-150's styling might not make the transition to the Expedition, its powertrains and emphasis on lightweight aluminum will. Our spies report the biggest SUV will ride on a new T3 platform and feature an aluminum body, with the F-150's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Expect a ten-speed automatic transmission and start/stop tech for sure, while the smaller 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 could slot in as the Expedition's base engine – we're less sure on that one. And we're even more uncertain of the rumors of an Expedition Hybrid. Our spies report it could mate a 3.5-liter V6 with an electric motor(s) and battery packs for a more economical full-size SUV. Expect to see the 2018 Expedition debut in January, at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show.
Ford UK exec says EVs are a good way to lose a fortune
Wed, Mar 19 2014Stateside, Ford execs are quick to point out the automaker's expansion in the plug-in sector. And despite a minimal presence in the pure EV space, the Blue Oval has been promoting its plug-in vehicles as part of an overall effort to boost fleetwide fuel economy. Too bad the company's UK chief didn't get the memo. There's "no point in us getting behind [EVs] and losing a fortune" - Ford's Mark Ovenden Mark Ovenden, speaking rather frankly at the Geneva Motor Show recently, said he didn't have real high hopes for substantial electric-vehicle adoption and said the company's money was better spent on smaller gas- and diesel-powered engines, the UK's Daily Mail says. Ovenden said of EV development that there was "no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune," adding that his goal was to have variants of Ford's EcoBoost engine in 40 percent of the company's vehicles. Ford has about a 15-percent market share in the UK. The UK doesn't appear to be as kind to the EV as the US. Nissan last year cut the price of its all-electric Leaf there last year by about $4,000, while the company rolled out a promotion for the Leaf late last year, including allowing Leaf drivers to borrow a gas- or diesel-powered Nissan for free for as long as two weeks a year during the first three years of Leaf ownership. In the US, Ford sold just 229 Ford Focus Electrics during the first two months of the year after moving 1,738 units in 2013.
