Warning: have a valid man-card before pressing down on these performance driving pedals! This stunning 2005 Saleen S281- car number 191 - is truly impressive and extremely fund to drive! For Mustang fans, it doesn't get much better than hearing Steve Saleen say he's "Reunited with the Saleen brand". The car's super straight body displays a glossy layer of Saleen Silver metallic clearcoat that, judging by its smooth appearance, has been maintained with the utmost care. This car is a 100% accident-free showpiece that's been barely broken in. .... there's essentially nothing on the car that could be considered more than prerequisite shelf wear. So if you're looking for an exclusive muscle car that's impressive, easy to live with, and turns heads at every intersection then bid quickly on this awesome Ford Mustang before you see your buddy put it in his garage! This Saleen is garaged kept by it's original, non-smoking owner and is absolutely like new. This car was purchased from the inside showroom at A.C Collins Chevrolet in Houston TX in July 2005 -- the 1st year of the newly designed Mustang body style makeover by Ford. I have original window sticker, Saleen owners manual, and all literature. The car has not been driven hard and is all stock with no add-ons. I have the title in hand. As we all know, Steve Saleen's creations have never been defined by mere stripes and stickers. Straight from his shop, this Ford's heavily re-engineered 'mod motor' makes a powerful 340 lb./ft. of low-end torque. Visually, the engine compartment comes together just as well as the outside of the car. Saleen's install is exceptionally clean and display the Saleen-branded centerpiece and clean fuel rails. The greatest advancement granted by the new Mustang platform is its ability to corner and handle any track with its Racecraft Suspension. The 5-speed manual drives a tall 3.55 rear end that makes for super responsive wheel spin and alarming acceleration. The modified exhaust system incorporates Saleen's vacuum-actuated mufflers into custom, 2.5 inch stainless pipes. Put all this on top of high-performance Dunlop Tires (275/35ZR20) racked on Saleen's 7-spoke chome alloy wheels (9" in Front/10" in Back) and this coupe is an absolute delight to drive! Inside, you'll find the leather sport seats a nice surprise as you gaze at the 200 MPH speedometer and Ford's "my color" instrument panel. Crank up the Shaker 500 stereo with in-dash 6 CD changer and enjoy all the normal luxuries you'd expect in a high dollar muscle car including: cruise control, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, a power driver's seat, and remote keyless entry that's complete with built in theft deterrent software. It's always hard to describe a car that is essentially new in every way. So I'll just sum this Mustang up by saying that everything, from its ice cold air conditioning to its Saleen-branded steering wheel, is in impeccable working order. I respond quick to emails and will send additional information and pictures if requested. Ford Base Components Saleen Base Components

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost
Wed, 19 Nov 2014
A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.
Ford rakes in record $2.5b profit during Q1 of 2016
Thu, Apr 28 2016Fears that the auto industry is due for a downturn may be fading. Ford posted record profits in the first quarter of 2016, the company announced Thursday. Chief financial officer Bob Shanks said Ford enjoyed its best quarterly performance in history, generating operating profits of $3.8 billion and a record profit margin of 9.8 percent. Overall, the company's $2.5 billion profit in the quarter more than doubled from the 2015 quarterly results. "The first quarter was an absolutely terrific start to the year, an all-time record for the company, with very strong performance across the business," said chief executive officer Mark Fields. "We're excited about our future and confident in our ability to deliver long-term growth and profitability as we expand our business model to be both an auto and a mobility company." During the quarter, Ford announced the creation of Ford Smart Mobility, a new subsidiary that would vet future mobility projects in the realm of car-sharing, fractional ownership and autonomous deployment. The company also kicked off a billion-dollar makeover of its Dearborn, Michigan campus and headquarters. The company's after-tax earnings of $0.68 per share trumped Wall Street's expectations, and were significantly up from $0.39 per share a year ago. The results were buoyed by the company's fourth consecutive quarter of growth in Europe, which comes after a long period of stagnant sales. Ford's earnings results come amid reports that April car sales are on pace to jump 4 percent year over year, which would make it the best-selling April in history. Kelley Blue Book projects that car sales will reach 1.51 million this month, placing the industry on track for 17.5 million vehicles sold in 2016. Even as SUV and crossover sales drive the market, analysts say Nissan and Honda are positioned to benefit from renewed interest in mid-size cars. "Following a disappointing March, we expect sales to get back on track in April with SAAR in the mid-17 million range," said Tim Fleming, analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "Increased fleet sales and rising incentive spending among automakers remain the factors to watch, but the retail demand appears to be holding steady, signaling the industry's strong run isn't over quite yet."

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
