Please email me with any questions or requests for additional pics or something specific at: wendolynwssaam@chocoholic.org . This beautiful Factory Five Cobra MK4 Roadster was purchased in January 2014 and has only 2256 miles. The vehicle
was built @ SKJ Customs in Saint George Utah, and let me tell you, she is a beauty! This beautiful Cobra is ready
to hit the road and win some First Place trophies along the way. She is finished in arguably the most beautiful
color combination available: Raven Black w/ Red Racing Stripes and Polished Stainless Side Exhaust. These new
Factory Five Cobra MK4 Roadsters have been vastly improved, modified and redesigned to be better than the original.
Only the best components were used in this build w/ a total cost of over $75,000. Powered by a brand new 427ci
small-block Ford stroker motor producing over 500 hp, linked to a new Tremec TKO 500 5-Speed transmission which
feeds power to a 8.8 Moser Locker rear end. The motor is dressed up in Ford 427 Cobra finned valve covers with
billet aluminum throughout the show quality engine bay. She starts, idles, runs and performs beautifully and is
extremely FAST! After you get rolling, the upgraded Wilwood 6-piston brakes will slow you down in a hurry! This
Cobra was fully insulated w/ Silent Coat, which lessens vibration substantially and makes for a wonder driving
experience. The custom interior is absolutely gorgeous and features: black European Leather seats w/ French
stitching in red, Spunhead Stainless dash w/ full set of (7) gauges, Wilwood pedals, Cobra-style wood steering
wheel, Cobra shifter & E-brake, top & side visors, Simpson racing seats belts and chrome driver-side roll-bar. She
sits on polished Halibrand-style rims w/ Nitto 55R drag radials and has the stance that only a Cobra can have.
These Factory Five Cobra MK4 Roadsters are an absolute BLAST to drive and will leave a huge smile on your face for
hours after you drive one. The Kony Coilover suspension lets you hit those curves nice & fast w/ complete control
and as I stated previously, she’s extremely QUICK!

Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
