2007 - Ford Mustang on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
For sale is an extremely rare Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H convertible. Car 381 of 500. Carroll Shelby Manufacturing number 07H381. Black with Hertz gold Shelby stripes and black convertible top. Shelby roll bar. Black wheels. Black leather interior. Shaker stereo. Car is all original, just like it was when it left Shelby. Car was the Super Sunday Award winner at the DFW Spring 2013 Good Guys Rod and Custom Car Show. Included with the car is the metal Carroll Shelby Manufacturing dash plate which was never installed. All the Shelby and Hertz paperwork which includes the original window sticker, Shelby build sheet, Shelby registry certificate, and delivery sheet. Also included is 2 sets of keys and remotes, convertible top boot, Carroll Shelby silver signature floor mats, Shelby GT-H banner with CSM number, gold Hertz car club center cap stickers, Rent-a-Racer license plate frame, and some various receipts and service records. Car is in excellent condition, but it has been a driver car. Everything on the interior is in great condition and everything works as it should. Top works and seals perfectly. Everything mechanically works perfectly. Gold Hertz stripes were replaced about 2.5 years ago by Jordan Ford in San Antonio, TX. Stripe fading is fairly common with these metallic stripes, but the new stripes look great and the car has been stored inside since. Here are the only issues I know about and I am pretty picky: Has some scratches on the drivers underside of the front fascia from speed bumps or curbs (you can see them slightly in the pics), small peck (maybe 2-3mm) and a mark in one stripe on the hood where it folds over to the windshield, small mark on the hood from pulling the hood pin and a small peck in the windshield which has been repaired but is still visible. I have clear title in hand. Car is available for inspection/driving in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Feel free to set up a time to view it in person. I live only about 5 miles from DFW airport.

Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
50 new vehicles by 2025: Ford making big push in China
Tue, Dec 5 2017SHANGHAI — Ford will launch 50 new vehicles in China by 2025, including 15 electrified vehicles, the U.S. firm said at an event in Shanghai on Tuesday, as it looks to rev up sales growth in the market and shift towards cleaner electric cars. Ford's sales in China have been weak in recent months, and the company is scrambling to come up with electric and hybrid vehicles to comply with strict Chinese quotas over production and sales for so-called new energy vehicles, or NEVs. The U.S. automaker is undergoing a broad review of its China operations, part of a strategic re-think under new Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett, which will likely see the company focus on electric commercial vans as well as electric cars. "Between now and 2025, we will launch 50 new vehicles in China, and of those 50 new vehicles, 15 of them will be all-new electrified vehicles," said Peter Fleet, Ford's head of Asia Pacific, pointing to big growth in the "utility" segment. Fleet also said Ford's China revenue would grow by 50 percent over the same period. China is pushing automakers toward electric and hybrid petrol-electric vehicles, setting tough quotas for NEVs that come into play in 2019, and has signaled a longer-term shift away from traditional internal combustion engine cars. The major shift in the world's largest auto market has jolted some automakers, sparking a spate of recent electric vehicle (EV) joint ventures in the market. Ford has announced an EV tie-up with China's Anhui Zotye Automobile Co Ltd. "We've never seen change like we do today," said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford. "Everything is being disrupted" by the development of autonomous vehicles, trends such as ride-sharing and electric vehicles, he added. "It's clearly the case that China will lead the world in EV development, and so we at Ford are investing enormous amounts of money both here in China and globally to bring electrification into fruition."

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
