Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

Being offered for sale is a true modern day classic 2006 Ford GT painted in the very desirable red with all four options, racing stripes, red calipers, lightweight BBS wheels and the McIntosh stereo. Car comes with the original window sticker, Ford GT duffle bag cover as well a beautiful Covercraft car cover, 2 keys & remotes, manuals, compressor, etc.

 The car has had two owners (including myself) who have thoroughly enjoyed driving this thrilling car. The first owner was from Louisiana so car is U.S. production that required no modifications for Canada as speedometer had both mph and kilometers. The car has never been driven on a track, just highway driving. Since new this car has been extremely well maintained by Ford and always stored indoors. This Ford GT is an excellent example showing minimal signs of the 23,946 miles of use. That is only about 3,000 enjoyable (highway) miles year. As the car was meant to be driven, there is 3 M protection on the nose of the car, rocker panels and rear panels behind the rear wheels. You can leave the 3 M protection in place or remove it. I won't go into the details of what a Ford GT is as if you're looking for a Ford GT, you already know about the performance characteristics of the car.

  The car has had a recent oil change as well as the spark plugs replaced. A detailed multi-point inspection was performed in June.. Everything checked out and the inspection form is attached. All four tires were replaced about 1,500 miles ago. I have an extra set of rear tires for sale for $1,200 U.S. for the pair. The passenger side wheels had some "curb scuffs" on them and I replaced both of them. The old wheels are available at n/c if you want them.  There are a few road minor chips on the paint that have been repaired by a body shop. The car is in A-1 mechanical condition!

 Attached is a recent copy of the AutoCheck vehicle history report for the car.

  I have two new cars coming and have run out of room in my garage. I have thoroughly enjoyed this car but I'm now looking forward to my "new drives". There were just a little over 4,400 of these cars made through 2005/2006 and the prices are really starting to escalate. If you're thinking of purchasing one of these cars, sooner is better than later. The car is priced to sell at $219,000 in U.S. funds.

  The vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty expressed or implied. All shipping arrangements and costs associated shipping are the responsibility of the buyer. I encourage any prospective buyers to examine the car prior to purchasing.

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.

The American Customer Satisfaction Index or ACSI released its updated numbers and according to the survey, new car buyer satisfaction is down for the third straight year. According to an ACSI press release, customer satisfaction with new automobiles has fallen 3.7 percent, to 79 on its 100-point scale. The ACSI report is based on over 4,100 customer surveys collected in the second quarter of 2015 Sitting at the top of the industry in customer satisfaction is Toyota's Lexus brand with a score of 84. Which was good enough to dethrone Mercedes-Benz, which fell 3% to a score of 83. Of the Big Three, Ford was the only domestic automaker to maintain overall customer satisfaction with its score of 81. General Motors slipped 3% to 79 and Fiat Chrysler had a 5% drop, registering a score of 75 out the possible 100. What's driving this trend of customer dissatisfaction? ASCI points to the rise in recalls and car prices. Where do you land on customer satisfaction spectrum?

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
