FOR SALE BY OWNER - Listed by National Marketing Classifieds (NMSell)
Engine: 302, 40,000 miles, Exterior: Red, Interior: Red. VIN: 1FABP46W0EH119852 . THe history of the car is important to its value. The car was built by the Jack Rousch Company in 1994. It was ordered by Legendary public relations motors port director for PPG by the name of Jim Chapman. The cost was $85,000 and was the only PPG pace car for the championship auto racing teams series (cart) that was street legal. All the pace cars of that time were not street legal and at the end of their life, were to be destroyed as presented in the contract. The car was used to give pace car rides to guest of PPG and to pace races midway through 1994 season and into 1995 season. The car is unique cause it is greatly modified compared to the 1994 Ford Thunderbird Turbo of the time. It has a hand built 302 high roller engine (high performance) and at the time was run as high as 165 mph. It has a 5 speed gear box ans a koni air suspension along with Craiger rims and oversized tires. The outside body is in very good condition with no rust and one tiny dent put in it at the 1995 Michigan race by Johnny Rutherford when he hit an orange cone. The interior is also red and in very good condition, although a little faded. The car has 40,000 miles on it. At the end of its use as a pace car, it was given to Kenny Lowe who managed the pace car team under Jim Chapman (who was Babe Ruth's manager and PR guy until he died). Kenny was as they say "volume challenged" and did not fit well in the car so he sold it to a member of the cart safety team. The safety team member sold it to me after he left it in his garage for 13 years. He used it on occasion but needed the space in his garage. I bought it from him and as only the third owner, have only driven it on occasion but it pretty much has sat unused in my garage. The engine was recently tuned up and is running great. The historical value is that the car was a special order by Jim Chapman and was designed to be street legal, yet worked as a very fast pace car for the cart series. I doubt it is the only pace car left from that time period, it represents the golden age of open wheel racing as a street legal pace car for the very popular cart series. My interest in selling it is to a collector who cal appreciate the history and uniqueness of the car. It is simply too much of a car for me and the primary use I got for it was for car shows and special vintage car rally's. Sadly, I am no longer able to participate in these events.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks
Sun, 25 May 2014Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.
Autoblog's guilty pleasure cars
Tue, Mar 10 2015Guilty pleasures are part of life – don't even try to pretend like you don't have one (or two, or six). In the non-automotive space, this could come down to that secret playlist in your iPhone of songs you'll only listen to when you're alone; or think of that one TV show you really do love, but won't admit to your friends. I've got plenty, and so do you. Going back to cars, here's a particularly juicy one for me: several years ago, I had a mad crush on the very last iteration of the Cadillac DTS. Oh yes, the front-wheel-drive, Northstar V8-powered sofa-on-wheels that was the last remaining shred of the elderly-swooning days of Cadillac's past. Every time I had the chance to drive one, I was secretly giddy. Don't hate me, okay? These days, the DTS is gone, but I've still got a mess of other cars that hold a special place in my heart. And in the spirit of camaraderie, I've asked my other Autoblog editors to tell me some of their guilty pleasure cars, as well – Seyth Miersma, as you can see above, has a few choice emotions to share about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Read on to find out what cars make us secretly happy. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG This decadent convertible is the epitome of the guilty pleasure. It's big, powerful, fairly heavy and it's richly appointed inside and out. It's a chocolate eclair with the three-pointed star on the hood. Given my druthers, I'd take the SL65 AMG, which delivers 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. That output is borderline absurd for this laid-back convertible. I don't care. You don't need dessert. Sometimes you just crave it. The SL line is about the feel you get on the road. The roof is open. The air, sun and engine sounds all embrace you. It's the same dynamic you could have experienced in a Mercedes a century ago, yet the SL gives you the most modern of luxuries. An Airscarf feature that warms my neck and shoulders through a vent embedded in the seat? Yes, please. Sure, it's an old-guy car. Mr. Burns and Lord Grantham are probably too young and hip for an SL65. I don't care. This is my guilty pleasure. Release the hounds. – Greg Migliore Senior Editor Ford Flex I drove my first Flex in 2009 when my mother let me borrow hers for the summer while I was away at college. The incredibly spacious interior made moving twice that summer a breeze, and the 200-mile trips up north were quite comfortable.
