This is a 2005 Ford GT. It has approximately 57,300 miles on it which is somewhat unique for a Ford GT. In accordance with the miles, the car had a couple of small paint chips but the body is perfectly straight and there is no dents or dings in any panel. We are representing/selling this GT for a client and friend. At Cool Tech, we have serviced and or modified well over 150 unique Ford GT’s and we know these cars very well and we will be very straightforward with any prospective buyer regarding the condition of this car. The Carfax report will show an incident for this car – namely the Carfax says, “accident, car hit a curb” We think that may be a little bit modest and in our opinion the front left fender has been replaced – but painted perfectly to match the car. In summary, the “bads” on this car may be the Carfax incident and the mileage at 57K. However, there are so many good things about this car! In our opinion, it is a perfect driver’s car. The valuation if this cars keeps going up and up and up. As such, not many of them are really driven. But this car can be driven… and we want to provide our assurances from Cool Tech that this car is fully ready to be enjoyed!! This car has all 4 of the factory options. Painted stripes, painted calipers, macintosh subwoofer/stereo, and the optional BBS rims (now about $4500 each!). When the owner brought us this car he had a list of modifications that he wanted performed. We installed a rear bumper delete kit complete with our Cool Tech rear bumper delete exhaust. We did a full service on the car changing coolant and engine oil & filter. The owner reported a problem on 4th to 3rd gear downshifts. We test drove the car and determined that upshifts were always perfect but the 4th to 3rd downshift would almost always incur a brief grind. Clearly, just a 3rd gear syncro. But, as you may know, parts for these transaxles are simply not available so we purchased a brand new transaxle from Ford ($18,000). At the same time, we replaced both the clutch and throwout bearing. All of these components are brand new in this car. We retained the old transaxle and this will go with the sale of this car. I mentioned previously that we installed a rear bumper delete kit. All of the OEM components from the original configuration will go with the car. This includes the bumper, the frame horns, exhaust and the large screens. All of these items are in as-oem condition. We also replaced the rear diffuser as some of the bottom fiberglass edges had scuffs on them. The car is a solid car, fully serviced and ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.

Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...

Ford cranks up '32 Ford body production

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

If you're going to build your own hot rod, you'll want to start with a '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe. Favored by American servicemen returning from World War II, the '32 Ford remains the very icon of the hot rod to this day. The trouble is there were only so many of them made in the first place, and finding one today can be a challenge. That's where reproduction models come in.
The aftermarket is replete with companies that will sell you a fiberglass body in the form of a '32 Ford coupe, but quality can be hit or miss. So to help meet demand among hot rod builders and enthusiasts, Ford has teamed up with United Pacific Industries to offer officially licensed body shells.
Announced at the SEMA show in November, the '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe body is made from stamped steel according to original specifications from original machinery where possible or reproduced machinery built to the same original specifications where necessary. The bodies are ready to accept vintage powertrains or crate motors from the Ford Racing catalog, and join the 9,000 other parts offered in the Ford Component Sales catalog - including similar reproduction bodies available for the 1965-70 Mustang and 1940 Ford Coupe. From there, the proverbial sky's the limit.
