You are looking at a 1985 Saleen Mustang Car Number 85-0093 car was confirmed as real by Liz at Team Saleen way back when I bought it. I purchased the car from Genes Auto Sales in Delaware many years ago in its current condition and had hopes of bringing it back to its original condition . Well as you can see that has never happened as I have not had the funds and have had a few health issues the last few years. The car is mostly original with the original Hayashi wheels in good shape missing center caps though. Original wolf steering wheel in nice shape. Original Cal Custom Hawk Alarm. It does not have the correct shift knob and the radio and rear speakers are missing. The rear spats are there and in good shape .The side ground effects are there and are fiberglass but have cracks and need repair. The front nose is the original front three piece nice and is in very nice shape. You will note in pictures it is being held up by string as the tape has lost it stick. The Body of the car is in good shape for its age and shows some light rust spots in several location but nothing that has rotted through most is just surface rust. The rear shocks are the original Bilsteins and I believe the front are as well but haven't checked.the car has 55 thousand original miles but has been sitting on and off for many years. I purchased the car about 12 years ago from Genes auto sales in Delaware. I was told that the owner of the Dealership purchased it for his son in the late 80s from a Lady who was a Baltimore city meter maid. The owners son is who I purchased it from. He said his dad never titled it and when they drove it they put dealer tags on it. He said his dad thought that someday the car would be worth allot of money like a Shelby well that never happened and for all the years they had it his father refused to sell it for a fair price. The car sat and sat and the sun faded the paint and the decals and the car began to show its age. It looks as if it has been repainted on the roof and hood once and the decals look as if they were changed once.. The car was relegated to the back lot of the dealership when I purchased it. The motor is in good shape and does not smoke . It has a new battery in it but for some reason when I tried to start it today it just cranks and it isn't getting spark. The oil and the antifreeze have been changed several times since I have had as I didn't want anything to happen to the motor. It does have several exhaust leaks when it was last running and I believe the exhaust is original. The transmission shifts fine and the clutch seemed to be ok when it was driven around the block last winter. The interior of the car is in good shape other than some fading and discoloration of the plastic panels in the back. The drivers seat has some stitching that has pulled loose but that is about it. The rear hatch shocks need to be replaced as they will not hold up the hatch. The heater core has been bypassed and the A/C did not blow cold. I want to be up front about the car as it does need work but it is an original first year production Saleen and are seldom seen anymore. The car is a great start for somebody that wants a fairly easy restoration. It would need to be trailered home as the tires have dry rot they will hold air but for only about a week or two before they start going down and the brakes should all be gone through since the car has been sitting. Please don't ask if I will part the car out as I will not it is a very very solid car that just needs the right attention.i want to sell the car to someone who will return it to its proper glory. I'm fairly knowledgable on this cars as I have had three real 85 Saleens one that I sold just last year and I have had an 88 convertible. Please ask any questions you have and I welcome and recommend you come look at the car or have someone inspect it. The car is being sold as is where is with no warranty. I request a 250.00 pay pal deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction with the rest due in cash or certified funds before the title will be released. Good luck bidding and Thank You For Looking

Ford Focus RS will go global, come to US
Thu, Dec 11 2014"We are transforming our approach to performance." – Mark Fields Ford will launch a new high-performance Focus RS around the world, including the United States, company CEO Mark Fields confirmed at a press conference Thursday morning. It is expected to debut in January at the Detroit Auto Show, though launch timing is unclear. "We are transforming our approach to performance," Fields said. The RS will serve as a hotter variant of the Focus, which will be redesigned next year as part of Ford's 16 product launches. Our spy photographers have already captured images of a purported RS, which you can see above. Ford last sold a Focus RS in Europe in 2009, and it continues the long lineage of RS-badged performance cars, which dates to 1968. "The RS has a significant heritage and pedigree," Ford product chief Raj Nair said. The Focus RS will slot above the Focus ST, which will continue, a spokesman said. The ST runs a turbocharged, 252-horsepower four-cylinder that's paired with a six-speed manual transmission. It also has chassis and design upgrades to reinforce its athletic dynamics. The most recent intel suggests that the new RS could use Ford's 2.3-liter turbo-four, tuned to anywhere from 325 to 350 hp. All-wheel drive is also rumored to be part of the new RS formula. Meanwhile, Ford announced it is putting all of its sporty units under the umbrella name of "Ford Performance," which will be led by Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Ford Performance will include Ford Racing, SVT (which is responsible for the Raptor and Shelby GT350) and RS. "We're changing Ford's performance business," Nair said. Ford is placing a renewed emphasis on performance, as the customers tend to be younger, wealthier and better educated, Nair said. In other news, Nair said the company is working on a Raptor version of the new, aluminum-bodied F-150, which launched this year. "I want to get it out as quickly as we can," he said.
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.
NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
