This stunning limited edition 2007 SHELBY HERTZ convertible awaits you in Sunny So Cal! Have fun and turn heads in this gorgeous black and gold Shelby Hertz. This RARE LOW, LOW MILEAGE car has never been hit and has no dents or dings.
The cloth convertible top is in perfect condition. We have the matching cloth boot, which many of these cars do not have. The interior is in perfect condition. The exterior paint has a few tiny chips on the door edges from its rental days, but NO dents or dings.
As you can see, the car has been signed by Carroll himself! Well, not really. We did add vinyl decal reproductions of Carroll Shelby's signature in the correct metallic GOLD color on each side of the car before the last show the car appeared in. :) Our plan was to remove them after the show, but since they are so eye-catching, we decided to leave them on for a while. The vinyl decals will peel right off if you don't want them, and we will remove them for you in that case.
Everything on this car works!! We replaced the tires with the exact factory ones about 2 years ago, so they have very low mileage on them. We have all the service records and the original rental keys with the Hertz key tags, convertible top boot cover, original dash ID tag, some Hertz items (cup, note pad, etc.). My husband bought me this car because I'd undergone some major surgery and he wanted me to have some fun. FUN INDEED! I LOVE driving this car and it gets so much attention everywhere I go in it. However, I am not a very aggressive driver, so the car has been treated gently...I have never abused it and have not driven it "hard". The stripes are currently in need of replacing, which in our experience needs to be done every 2-3 years. If we don't sell the car, we will likely have the stripes painted this time around so that they never need replacing again.
We participate as a family in So. Cal Mustang and Shelby car shows and this beautiful unique car has won many trophies, which you will receive with your purchase.
ALSO, and this is a BIG ALSO.......I have a Carroll Shelby autographed airbag cover--the correct factory airbag cover for this car!!!!! It has never been installed on any car, but now that Carroll is no longer with us, this makes this goodie a fantastic opportunity to have his autograph on the dash of your 2007 Shelby Hertz, which will make the car even more of a rarity! If you want this item, you will have first dibs on it for an additional $850.00 at the end of the auction. Otherwise, it will be listed on eBay after the car is sold.
I have some other rare goodies, like a vintage Hertz garment back in black with gold stripes to match the car, gold Hertz polo shirts, a matching baseball cap, posters, magazine ads, Hot Wheels.....the buyer of this car will have first notice about auctions on these extra items that I will be listing on eBay when the car is sold. Or.....you can make me an offer. :)
This gorgeous Shelby GT-H can be inspected by appointment here in Torrance, California. I will be happy to email additional photos upon request.

2014 Ford Mustang GT
Fri, 17 May 2013I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.
Driving Notes
Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]
Mon, 20 May 2013Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.
Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
