Genuine Eleanor Mustang! Built as a surplus car for Movie promotion - it was not driven in movie just used as a
promotional photo/video shoot car. "Gone in 60 seconds". Genuine 4 speed GT 390 fastback recreated as a Shelby
GT500E. 428 big block, Nitrous, new suspension, ground pounding, legend of a car! Las Vegas, NV USA car.
Vin:8T02S217570
Mechanical: The car has under 5500 miles on it since it was completed in 2005. It has never been raced or abused
and is in mint condition besides a few minor blemishes that can easily be fixed. During the restoration and
creation of this car, everything was disassembled and rebuilt. The engine and transmission are brand new, with $20k
spent on the engine alone. Every piece of the braking, fuel, and suspension systems is also brand new. Thanks to
the Tremec racing transmission, this car can easily cruise at 60mph at only 2000RPM. It is the perfect combination
of classic look and feel with modern enhancements. No expense was spared to build it and it needs nothing but a
driver. We had a body shop quote $3000.00 to get the car completely perfect again. It has a few minor small
fiberglass cracks and chrome molding around windshield needs replacement. You'll see these in more detail in photos
upon request. Clear NV Title. Ready to be driven daily.
Specs:
428 Cobra Jet with aluminum heads (625 hp+)
ARP bolts throughout engine
2 Holley 750 carbs
dual plate NOS system
aluminum radiator and overflow
Optima battery,
new wiring harness
Aluminum water pump
March pulleys
Mallory distributor
Shaft roller rockers
Hooker headers
functional side exhaust
Tremec T-56 six-speed racing transmission
Mcleod blowproof bellhousing
Hurst shifter with nitrous button on knob
power disc brakes front and rear
all new front and rear suspension
9 inch rear (final drive of .60)
stainless brake and fuel lines
cable clutch
Exterior:
The car has been finished in beautiful Pepper Grey Metallic with Black Metallic stripes (DuPont fleet 44490 and
44435) just like the Eleanor in the movie. The paint shines from all angles and the car is absolutely flawless. The
car appears to have been well taken care of prior to restoration and shows no signs of rust or rust repair
anywhere. Of course, no Eleanor would be complete without the Eleanor kit. This car has the correct headlight
bezels, billet aluminum upper and lower grills, front lower valance, hood, front fender flares, rear fender flares,
side exhaust skirts, exhaust scoops, lower side scoops, tail lamp panel and Shelby GT500E lights to make this car
correct. The kit fits the car like a glove-all of the seams line up perfectly and it's as if the car came from the
factory with them. To complete the look, the car sits on the correct 17" Eleanor wheels and new tyres.
Interior:
This car is as perfect inside as it is outside and under the hood. It has been updated with brushed aluminum dash
panels, leather racing seats, a Lacarra wooden Shelby steering wheel and a CD player. A rollbar with 4 point
harnesses are also installed for safety. The interior looks brand new. Anti sway Bar, and a tune up just done. The
power sticks to The pavement.

Ford spotted testing new Focus RS at the Nurburgring

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford is expected to be launching a revised version of the Focus ST soon, but the latest snapshots from our spy photographers at the Nürburgring suggest that the Blue Oval is already working on an even more potent example: the new Focus RS.
Though the partially disguised test mule is wearing an ST badge (along with a Dewey sticker that makes us wonder what adventures Huey and Louie are up to and what manner of duck-tail rear spoiler they may be wearing), there are several tell-tale signs that something else is afoot here. There's a larger front air dam, bigger brake calipers, dual exhaust tips (instead of the central exhaust on the ST) and a reshaped wing protruding from the trailing edge of the roof.
That may all be well and fine, but what's under the hood? We don't know yet for sure, but word has it that Ford is preparing to port over the 2.3-liter turbo four offered in the new Mustang, where it packs 305 horsepower and almost as much torque - potentially retuned to produce even more for the top-of-the-line Focus, which could channel it all to the front wheels like the last model or pack an all-wheel drive system. The Global C platform on which the Focus is based does, after all, also underpin AWD models like the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC.

'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."
