Ford Taurus Rage Concept From 1999 Sema Car Show on 2040-cars
Year:1998
Mileage:31600
Location:
Warren, Michigan, United States
|
The Ford Taurus Rage is a concept vehicle designed by Ford for the 1999 SEMA auto show held annually in Las Vegas. The Rage is a well documented prototype and a time piece of style from the late 90s. The Rage is one of one and very rare, designed by Ford Motor Company. The vehicle was owned by Ford originally and this is verifiable via car fax. The ground effects are all steel and the remaining body enhancements are fiberglass. This is not a kit on this car. This is very highly professionally done work by the Automaker. The seats are custom by Lear Motorsports. The wheels are an original only done for this car by Italian wheel maker MOMO. The cams have been welded by the number one expert amongst enthusiasts in Chicago, Illinois. The engine has been looked at extensively and documented to be in great condition. The 3.4L SHO motor was a joint effort between American (Ford) and Japanese (Yamaha) designers. The engine runs really great. The exhaust is Borla and it sounds good. Cars today don't sound like this. The car isn't super fast. Its around 260hp. Its very stylish, sounds great, and turns heads whenever its on the road. People ask a lot of questions and are very intrigued. Its a must see. There is minor restoration to be done on this vehicle. It runs great, drives great, and looks amazing. The RAGE has gotten a lot of unfair talk about it on message boards by people who have only seen pictures and have no clue what they are talking about. There are a lot of misconceptions out there by people. Since I have owned the Rage I have been very proactive in doing my best to preserve this awesome piece. I stand behind this vehicle 100%. It needs minor restoration to the body only. Fords of this era have the reputation they have, I can't change that but the experts who have been through this car and written about it have found that this vehicle was given extra special attention in manufacturing to bring the RAGE design to life. You can see in the picture the front ground effect was cracked by the previous owner. That's the worst of what needs to be fixed. Other than that its very minor restoration needed for the Rage to look as it did in the Vegas pictures. |

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year
Fri, 11 Jan 2013With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
