2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR 40th Anniversary


In 1967 Carroll Shelby introduced the first GT500 Mustang. Forty one years later, touting a 5.4L V8 engine capable of producing 540 hp, the modern day GT500 is a reminder of everything good in a Shelby Mustang.  This is no ordinary Mustang.  It’s number 887 out of only 1,000 made.  There’s the leather-wrapped steering wheel, a one of a kind shifter knob, Brembo brakes and an extremely firm clutch.  This car offers a 2.73:1 rear axle gear radio, Ford racing performance exhaust system, 20” “GT500KR” Shelby designed wheels and front brake cooling ducts.  It is also decorated with a carbon composite hood featuring a classic Shelby GT500KR design and 40th anniversary badges on the front quarter panels. The 2008 Shelby GT500 is one of the most powerful Mustangs. The car is fast, no doubt about it.  With a 5.4L supercharged V8 engine under its hood, this car can do 0-60 mph in a quick 4.5 seconds.


When you sit behind the wheel of a Shelby GT500 Mustang you feel powerful. The car emits a powerful vibe. Maybe it’s the ever present view out the front window of the GT500’s bulky hood, complete with air extractors or maybe it’s the whine of the screw-type supercharger every time you step on the gas. The car feels powerful.


The GT500’s seats feature red leather inserts, complete with the famous cobra stitched onto the front seat backs. You’ll also find a cobra logo in the middle of the leather-wrapped steering wheel. There is a boost gauge which replaces the standard voltmeter gauge in the instrument panel.  This car includes ambient interior lighting, electro-chromatic rear view mirror and aluminum pedal covers.

Hands down, the best part of driving the car is the looks people give you. Young and old, all types admired the torch red car at stop lights.

Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.

Ford shutters Genk assembly plant in Belgium

Tue, Dec 23 2014

Ford has become the latest automaker to close one of its European assembly plants. The facility in question is located in the Belgian city of Genk and has been in operation since the early '60s when it started building the Taunus, Ford's first mass-produced, front-drive model. As part of the plan first announced over two years ago, the Genk Body & Assembly Plant is now closing its doors after half a century in the business and over fourteen million vehicles built. Although the plant itself employed some 5,000 workers, once you take into account the suppliers built up around the plant, the overall impact on employment in the area edges closer to 12,000. Genk Body & Assembly had until recently been tasked with producing the Mondeo sedan (which in its current iteration we know as the Fusion) as well as the S-Max and Galaxy minivans. Production of the Mondeo shifted in 2013 to the company's plant in Valencia, Spain, which also handles the Kuga crossover and Transit Connect cargo van, and will soon take over the minivans from Genk as well. The move follows a similar decision undertaken by General Motors to close the Opelwerk plant in Bochum, Germany. It also reflects a scaling down of automobile production in Belgium specifically: although Audi still manufacturers in Brussels and and Volvo in Ghent, Opel closed its plant in Antwerp in 2000 and Renault ceased production in Vilvoorde back in '97. However Ford still maintains its famous proving ground half an hour to the north in Lommel, Belgium.
