Frankfort Heights, Illinois, United States
EMAIL : EdwinGrant3b721@yahoo.com 1976 Ford Gran TorinoStarsky & Hutch CloneNO RESERVE AUCTION This vehicle isbeing re-listed as the first buyer was unable to afford the car beyond theinitial deposit. But their loss could be your chance to own the second mostrecognizable car in american television history (the Duke's of HazardGeneral Lee got #1). Up for sale is a 1976 Ford Gran Torino remade into aStarsky and Hutch clone. This is not one of the 1,000 Starsky & Hutch limitededition cars made by Ford. It is an affordable vintage vehicle which is adefinite eye-catcher you will not be afraid to drive for fear it may getscratched. It is not a "show quality" car, but what is termed a "daily driver".In other words, you can drive it, show it, and just enjoy it. This probably isn't going to help sell the car, but I remembered a couplethings I forgot to include. Fortunately, no one has put a bid in yet so no harmdone. First, the steering wheel is not original to the car and the horn buttonon this after-market steering wheel had never worked. I tried to think of waysto fix it, but was not too successful. Yada, yada, yada, I used an orange hockeypuck and cobbled together a working horn, but was never really happy with it.Second, the left-hand turn signal cancel does not work. The right hand sidedoes. This is controlled by a plastic piece with plastic pins in the steeringcolumn. I replaced it once with a used part from my parts car. It workedproperly for about 2 months and then quit working again. I'm sure one ormore of the pins broke off.

Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014
The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany
Sat, 29 Jun 2013Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.
Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
