1971 Torino Brougham. This car is like no other you will ever find. Basically the whole car is NOS It has 1641 miles on it. Yes I said 1641 miles this car is truly museum quality. It was bought in Aug 1971 driven for a month then wrecked in the left front. It was then taken straight to a heated paint shop covered up and left for 43 years. It has never been wet so the whole underneath of the car is brand new all fitting underneath are as shiny as they were from the factory. The car also has never been in the sun so their is no sun fade anywhere on it. The motor has been stared three times since 1971 last started a month ago with ease like a brand new car. The motor has the original oil, air filter, antifreeze still in it. The only thing that has ever been done to it had the dust wiped off of it carefully. The interior is the same way absolutely perfect. The steering wheel looks like it has never been touched and the seats look like they have never been sat in. The only damage inside is on the lower dash where his left knee hit it in the wreck. The vinyl top is still in perfect condition their is a dent in the top that should pop right out. The paint would need to be redone I think because over the years as it sat in the corner, overspray from the paint shop found its way to it and the paint should look as good as the underneath and the interior. The trunk of the car is also absolutely perfect. Has all original tires and hubcaps and bumper jack. What it will need to be fixed left fender drivers door hood and grilles and bumper. I still have the drivers door so all the window hardware is their. I have always called this the Jay Leno car because of its factory condition. If this car does not sell I will be parting it out because these parts are worth a ton. I know cobra people would love to have the body and floors out of it. I hope someone gets it and puts it in a museum where it belongs. Feel free to call with any other questions.859-339-4113

US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.

Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]

Sun, 16 Jun 2013

In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.

Ford To Unveil Solar Hybrid Concept Car At CES

Thu, Jan 2 2014

Ford plans to unveil at this month's International CES gadget show a solar-powered concept car that offers the same performance as a plug-in hybrid but without the need for a plug. The C-Max Solar Energi Concept car uses a gasoline engine combined with a gizmo that acts like a magnifying glass to concentrate the sun's rays on the vehicle's roof-mounted solar panels. The automaker says the vehicle's estimated combined city-highway mileage is 100 miles (160 kilometers) per gallon. The U.S. auto maker says that by using solar power instead of an electric plug, a typical owner will reduce their annual greenhouse gas emissions by four metric tons. The company says it sold about 85,000 hybrid or electric vehicles in 2013, including 6,300 units of its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid. The sun-ray concentrator was developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and uses what is known as a Fresnel lens, which concentrates light but can be made thinner than a conventional lens. A full day of sunshine is equivalent to a four-hour battery charge, or 8 kilowatts, Ford says. On a full charge, it should have a range of 620 miles (997 kilometers), the same as the C-Max Energi. The concept car also comes with a plug-in port for standard electric charging. Ford says that 75 percent of all trips made by an average driver could be powered by the sun. After showing off the concept car at the convention in Las Vegas Jan. 7-10, Ford Motor Co. says that it will test the vehicle with institute researchers to determine if it's feasible for mass production.
