2006 - Ford Mustang on 2040-cars
Johnson City, Tennessee, United States
Very nice, well maintained, fun driving street/show car. I am the second owner and purchased the car in '07 from a dealer in Texas with 16,000 miles on it. The reflective Mach 1 stripes, Mach 1 trunk emblem, 20" Foose Nitrous wheels, Toyo Proxes ST tires, 3"exhaust with x-pipe, side window louvres, and front and rear spoilers were on the car before I got it. I've added a CDC functional ram air shaker hood scoop, C&L cold air intake with K&N filter, Granatelli 62mm throttle body, Bama custom tune, drilled and slotted brake rotors, push button start, MP3 jack, running horse logo floor mats and trunk mat, Eleanor style grill, hood struts and radiator extension covers. The hole in the hood to accommodate the shaker hood scoop was done by a local body shop. The hood was then painted matte black followed by satin clear coat. The same shop repainted the front and rear bumpers due to chips and dings and factory paint defects. All of this was done in the past 2 years. This past July I noticed unusual wear on the front passenger tire. I took it to a local Ford dealer and the caster and camber were out of adjustment. That was fixed and 2 new tires were put on the front. The rear tires still have good tread, so I didn't bother with replacing them. I've driven the car an average of 1,700 miles a year, never in snow or salt, rarely in the rain. I don't wash the car, I clean it with a detailing spray after every drive. I attend 2 mustang specific shows a year, I detail it extensively for the shows and have trophied in my class quite a few times. I received 196 out of 200 points this past Sept. at a show judged by the MCA standards. It's always garaged stored, never smoked in. I change the oil once a year using Mobil 1 synthetic. This is a very fun car to own, I get thumbs up everywhere I go and can't get gas without someone wanting to look at it and talk about it. I think it's safe to say you won't see another '06 like it anywhere! I'm still driving the car on nice weekends, so the mileage will go up slightly. The car is available for inspections in the evenings and weekends. The car is for sale locally, so I may end the auction early. Buyer is responsible for shipping. I will assist with whatever I can. No interest in trades. Thank you for looking and bidding!

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
Recharge Wrap-up: Ford 1.0L EcoBoost a hit in Europe; Build a tiny inverter, win $1 million
Mon, Aug 11 2014In Europe, Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is the best-selling turbocharged gasoline engine. The three-cylinder motor powers 20 percent of new Fords sold in Europe. Earlier this year, it won its third International Engine of the Year award, and between January and June, it was sold in about 120,000 cars. So far this year, 38 percent of Fords sold in the Netherlands, 35 percent in Denmark and 32 percent in Switzerland have been powered by the 1.0-liter EcoBoost. The engine's turbocharger spins at 248,000 rpm, and provides 24 psi of pressure. The engine produces up to 138 horsepower, depending on the version. Read more in the press release below. When lithium-ion battery packs are retired from the road, remanufacturing, repurposing, and recycling are worthwhile options, according to a study by Mineta Transportation Institute. The study included a cost-benefit analysis of those three options, and found remanufacturing to be the best route. To get the most out of them, batteries should be tested and have their damaged cells replaced then put back to use. Repurposing is the second best option, using the remaining available charge for something besides cars. Recycling on its own isn't profitable, but it could make economic sense with "increased technological breakthroughs." Learn more at Recycling International or download the report here. A smaller inverter for EVs can win you $1 million. The Little Box Challenge is an open competition to build a power inverter with a density of at least 50 watts per cubic inch. Google and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) are offering the hefty prize to the team that builds the inverter with the highest power density within an enclosed volume of 40 cubic inches. Teams must register by September 30. Read more at Green Car Congress or learn more at the Little Box Challenge website.
2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
