Feast your eyes upon this breathtaking 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica from the world leader in Shelby Cobra's -
SUPERFORMANCE. The only replica builder to be endorsed and licensed by racing legend and designer, Carroll Shelby.
Every car that leaves the Superformance factory is the best of the best with exacting details that truly make them
works of art. This particular Cobra is finished in Posilipo Blue with White hood stripes and Black leather
interior. You will not find another Superformance Cobra that came from the factory in this color Blue and White
stripes.
Meticulously built to the highest standards with all brand new parts from the top names in racing and performance
products. From the fire breathing 408 Windsor engine to the Tremec 3550 5 speed transmission right on back to the
independent rear suspension with 3:73 axle with coil over adjustable shocks, this beast was built to run and built
right. The engine has an Eagle cast stroker crank, Eagle H-beam connecting rods, Comp Cams roller camshaft,
Edelbrock Performer RPM cylinder heads, ARP main, connecting rod and head bolts as well as roller rocker arms. The
Holley Street Avenger 750cfm carb sits on top of an aluminum Weiend Stealth intake manifold. With 9.8:1 compression
ratio the desktop dyno estimates 450 hp and 480 ft-lbs of torque.
Even with all that power, stopping is no problem thanks to the Willwood power disk brakes and Goodyear Eagle GT
tires that wrap Trigo true knock off wheels. With only 5,200 miles since new, you will be able to enjoy your new
Cobra for many years and many miles to come. The only thing this Shelby needs is a new owner. The original
owner/builder spared no expense in building this simply stunning vehicle. He also spares no expense in maintenance
and care. All of the original build and purchase documents as well as the maintenance receipts will be included
with the car.
Mention Shelby Cobra to a group of car enthusiasts and heartbeats will quicken, memories will lead to great stories
and someone will bring up the beauty of the car. Just like the Porsche Speedster, Mercedes Gullwing Coupe, Auburn
Speedster and the ever famous Ferrari Spyder, the Cobra is one of the timeless greats. This example is no
exception!! The exterior has a show quality base coat/clear coat paint over a hand laminated fiberglass body. The
level of detail in the body and trim is simply amazing. All of the chrome, polished aluminum and painted parts are
of the highest quality. The Superformance Shelby Cobra is built to the highest quality detail with all new parts to
match the original style and design inside and out. These cars are brutally fast with a thundering, spine tingling
sound that is second to none.

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.

Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.

Ford UK exec says EVs are a good way to lose a fortune

Wed, Mar 19 2014

Stateside, Ford execs are quick to point out the automaker's expansion in the plug-in sector. And despite a minimal presence in the pure EV space, the Blue Oval has been promoting its plug-in vehicles as part of an overall effort to boost fleetwide fuel economy. Too bad the company's UK chief didn't get the memo. There's "no point in us getting behind [EVs] and losing a fortune" - Ford's Mark Ovenden Mark Ovenden, speaking rather frankly at the Geneva Motor Show recently, said he didn't have real high hopes for substantial electric-vehicle adoption and said the company's money was better spent on smaller gas- and diesel-powered engines, the UK's Daily Mail says. Ovenden said of EV development that there was "no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune," adding that his goal was to have variants of Ford's EcoBoost engine in 40 percent of the company's vehicles. Ford has about a 15-percent market share in the UK. The UK doesn't appear to be as kind to the EV as the US. Nissan last year cut the price of its all-electric Leaf there last year by about $4,000, while the company rolled out a promotion for the Leaf late last year, including allowing Leaf drivers to borrow a gas- or diesel-powered Nissan for free for as long as two weeks a year during the first three years of Leaf ownership. In the US, Ford sold just 229 Ford Focus Electrics during the first two months of the year after moving 1,738 units in 2013.
