Feast your eyes upon this breathtaking 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica from the world leader in Shelby Cobra's -
SUPERFORMANCE. The only replica builder to be endorsed and licensed by racing legend and designer, Carroll Shelby.
Every car that leaves the Superformance factory is the best of the best with exacting details that truly make them
works of art. This particular Cobra is finished in Posilipo Blue with White hood stripes and Black leather
interior. You will not find another Superformance Cobra that came from the factory in this color Blue and White
stripes.
Meticulously built to the highest standards with all brand new parts from the top names in racing and performance
products. From the fire breathing 408 Windsor engine to the Tremec 3550 5 speed transmission right on back to the
independent rear suspension with 3:73 axle with coil over adjustable shocks, this beast was built to run and built
right. The engine has an Eagle cast stroker crank, Eagle H-beam connecting rods, Comp Cams roller camshaft,
Edelbrock Performer RPM cylinder heads, ARP main, connecting rod and head bolts as well as roller rocker arms. The
Holley Street Avenger 750cfm carb sits on top of an aluminum Weiend Stealth intake manifold. With 9.8:1 compression
ratio the desktop dyno estimates 450 hp and 480 ft-lbs of torque.
Even with all that power, stopping is no problem thanks to the Willwood power disk brakes and Goodyear Eagle GT
tires that wrap Trigo true knock off wheels. With only 5,200 miles since new, you will be able to enjoy your new
Cobra for many years and many miles to come. The only thing this Shelby needs is a new owner. The original
owner/builder spared no expense in building this simply stunning vehicle. He also spares no expense in maintenance
and care. All of the original build and purchase documents as well as the maintenance receipts will be included
with the car.
Mention Shelby Cobra to a group of car enthusiasts and heartbeats will quicken, memories will lead to great stories
and someone will bring up the beauty of the car. Just like the Porsche Speedster, Mercedes Gullwing Coupe, Auburn
Speedster and the ever famous Ferrari Spyder, the Cobra is one of the timeless greats. This example is no
exception!! The exterior has a show quality base coat/clear coat paint over a hand laminated fiberglass body. The
level of detail in the body and trim is simply amazing. All of the chrome, polished aluminum and painted parts are
of the highest quality. The Superformance Shelby Cobra is built to the highest quality detail with all new parts to
match the original style and design inside and out. These cars are brutally fast with a thundering, spine tingling
sound that is second to none.

How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.

Ford and GM link bonus checks to quality scores

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

The poor first quarter earnings of Ford and General Motors are having an effect all the way up the food chain. Both automakers struggled with recalls in the first three months of the year, and, according to The Detroit News, they have responded by increasing the percentage of bonuses tied to vehicle quality for salaried workers, including top executives.
GM announced that 25 percent of bonuses (up from 10 percent) for all salaried workers would be tied to its vehicle quality standards. The automaker revealed in its financial report that it spent $1.3 billion on recall-related repairs in the first quarter, and net income was down 86 percent.
Ford also increased the quality proportion of bonuses for about 26,000 salaried workers all the way up to CEO Alan Mulally from 10 percent to 20 percent. The company announced in its report that the amount paid out in warranty and recall claims was about $400 million higher than expected in the first quarter. Its net income fell 39 percent from the previous year. "The change reflects how critical quality is to our overall business," said spokesperson Todd Nissen speaking to Autoblog.

Hyundai, BMW and Ford win Concept Vehicle of the Year awards

Sat, 06 Jul 2013

More than two dozen jurors started with a pool of 23 concept cars introduced at the most recent Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York auto shows, then pared it down to three winners in three categories for the twelfth annual North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards. The trophy-bearers are said to be those "vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry," and lead their classes in the Concept Car, Concept Truck and Production Preview divisions.
Hyundai had two cars as finalists for the Concept Car category, the competition boiled down to the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept, Veloster C3 Roll Top, Honda EV-STER and the Toyota Corolla Furia. It won with the HCD-14 Genesis that was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show, a sharp sedan that sharply divided opinion between those who thought it was too much, those who thought it was too much Audi A7, and those who thought it was perfect. The award panel's judges, however, thought so much of it that it's got two awards in one sitting, not only taking concept car honors, but because it earned the highest overall score in the competition it also takes the crown for Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2013.
The final selection in the Concept Truck category was down to the Ford Atlas, Kia Cross GT, Nissan Resonance and Volkswagen Cross Blue. The Ford Atlas took the silverware, after also winning the Eyes on Design award - shared with the Nissan Resonance - at the Detroit Auto Show where it was introduced.
