2006 - Ford Mustang on 2040-cars
Red Lion, Pennsylvania, United States
One of 500 built, this one is number 20 (CSM: 06H0020). This car has been upgraded with heated seats and Ford navigation from the 2007 model year. With under 15,100 miles this car is just breaking in. The car also carries VIN # 1D48750COLO as it is the only one known to be stolen from Hertz. It was then recovered in Colorado and returned to Hertz again titled in Colorado (Colorado has a policy that makes them give the car a new Vin # once a vehicle has been recovered. The car now has a clear blue Pennsylvania Title with the newly issued VIN #, both VIN's are stamped on the vehicle). It is in the Shelby registry and Ford motor under the original VIN # 1ZVFT82H565226448. The GT-H Mustangs were Mustangs that were bought by HERTZ rental car and were sent to Carroll Shelby Motors to be modified. Shelby modified these cars specifically for Hertz with performance modifications, interior modifications including Hertz and Shelby tags, exterior modifications including special front end , hood, and gold stripes, etc . This was an $8,000 package added on to the price of the GT Premium. What really makes these cars stand out to collectors and all Mustang enthusiast is the tribute these cars where to the 1966 Hertz addition Mustangs. These cars became very popular to collectors and are going for record amounts at car auctions all over the world. These cars were only sold to Hertz and were rented at special high end Hertz rental centers. They were not sold to the public until the Hertz corporation began sending them to auctions years later. It was sold to Hertz on March 4th, 2006 and was modified by Carroll Shelby Motors on March 21, 2006. All Shelby and Hertz documentation is included with the car. All invoices, PO's, sales slips, etc are laminated and in great condition. I have a letter from Shelby authenticating the car as a true Shelby GT-H. The car also comes with the extra Dash Plaque with the CSM # 06H0020 that was released to the first public buyer of the car. The interior is spotless. The engine bay is spotless. Everything that Shelby put on this car is intact and how it should be. Shelby put a safety wire on the engine blocks to insure that no one removed the engines. That is still there! There are paint markings on bolts that still line up and show that this car was not tampered with. The car runs great and the automatic transmission shifts flawlessly. These cars have a great exhaust rumble thanks to the x-pipe that was added by Shelby and also have 25 more hp than the normal Mustang GT due to the Ford Racing cold air intake and tune that was installed by Shelby motors. There are a few paint issues on the hood. The car still has everything that Shelby and Hertz put on the car including Hertz tags, Carroll Shelby ID plaques under the hood and on dash, floor mats, engine safety wire, Ford Racing Performance parts, etc. Everything has been installed by Ford, Shelby, and Hertz

Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.
Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again
Tue, 26 Nov 2013Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.
Junkyard Gem: 1971 Mercury Comet 2-Door Sedan
Sat, Sep 10 2022When Ford introduced the original Maverick for the 1970 model year, Dearborn tradition required that a Mercury-badged version be created. That car ended up being the Comet, built from the 1971 through 1977 model years. Here's one of those first-year Comets in rough but recognizable condition, found in a Denver self-service yard not long ago. The Comet name had spent the 1960s affixed to the flanks of Mercurized Ford Falcons (1960-1965) and Fairlanes (1966-1969). Since the Maverick was the successor of the Falcon — sales of which went into an irrecoverable downward spiral once its sportier Mustang first cousin hit the streets — it made sense to move the Comet name over to the Mercury version. Nearly every American Mercury model ever sold was a U.S.-market Ford model with a different name and some gingerbread slapped on. Notable exceptions to this tradition include the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar (mechanically based on the Contour but with a unique body) and the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri (an Australian-built mashup of Mazda components borrowed from the Ford Laser). The Comet was by far the cheapest Mercury model available in 1971, though it was considered more prestigious than its Maverick counterpart. The price tag on the '71 Comet two-door sedan started at $2,217 (about $16,505 in 2022 dollars), while the '71 Maverick two-door sedan cost $2,175 ($16,193 today). Meanwhile, AMC would sell you a new Hornet two-door sedan for one dollar less than a Maverick, Chevrolet had the Nova coupe for a dollar more than the Maverick, and Plymouth offered the Valiant Duster for $2,313 ($17,220 now). Toyota had a Maverick competitor as well that year, with the Corona at $2,150 for the sedan and $2,310 for the coupe. Having driven every one of the aforementioned models, I'd take the Duster if I went back in time and had to choose one (as a 1969 Corona owner, I'm not a fan of the 1971 facelift, though the Corona's build quality beats the Duster's). The build sticker on this car tells us that it was built at the Kansas City Assembly Plant (where Transits and F-150s are made today) and sold through the Los Angeles district sales office (there was a DSO in Denver, so it's a near-certainty that this car didn't start out in Colorado). The paint started out as Bright Blue Metallic (it's neither bright nor metallic 51 years down the road) and the interior was done up in Medium Blue Cloth & Vinyl.
