Offered for your consideration is a very special 2006 Shelby GT-H. Shelby American Automobiles serial number CSM 06H354, this vehicle is one of only 500 GT-H’s built in 2006, and is one of only 23 sold to Hertz Vice Presidents, thus never saw rental car duty. These Executive Cars were never placed in the rental fleet. I am the second owner of this vehicle, having purchased it from the original owner Hertz VP directly. It has led a pampered life, showing only 8804 miles on the odometer, as of this ad placement. Always garaged, and never driven in inclement weather. This car is for the discerning collector. Its pedigree is legendary, having been produced to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Hertz’s original tie up with Carroll Shelby back on 1966. This GT-H comes complete with literally a stunning level of documentation, including: original Ford window sticker, original invoice from Shelby Automobiles to Hertz for work performed at Shelby’s Las Vegas shop, what appears to be every email correspondence between the Hertz VP who purchased the vehicle new and the Hertz organization facilitating its production and shipment, and collateral ephemera made available by Hertz to the purchasing VP. The car is in close to mint condition, although there are a couple very small paint/stripe blemishes. Car is completely original - no cosmetic item replacements, etc. Mechanically, it is excellent, and passed an extensive state safety inspection a short time ago. The car is 100% stock and unmodified, with only a replacement Ford battery. All 2006 Shelby GT-H’s began as 2006 Ford Mustang GT Premium cars, however Hertz tweaked the normal package, for example substituting the V6 car’s faux rear gas cap featuring the pony instead of the standard GT cap. The vehicles were shipped to the Las Vegas Shelby American facility for conversion into true, serialized Shelby vehicles. Shelby work performed included Ford Racing performance suspension & handling package installation, Ford Racing exhausts and pipes, addition of a cold air intake, computer reflash, conversion of the dual exhaust into a free-flowing exhaust with X-pipe in place of the standard Ford H-pipe, 3.55 rear axle gearing not available from Ford directly on automatic equipped 2006 Mustang GT’s, exclusive fiberglass hand made Shelby hood with locking pins, unique front clip, unique grill, Hertz racing stripes, unique exterior and interior badging, steel wire with lead clasp engine tether to prohibit engine tampering, and unique Hertz exterior chrome fender badges. I am happy to work with buyer to facilitate their chosen transportation as reasonable. Full payment in hand/bank cleared on checks and money orders required to facilitate transfer of ownership/ handover to transportation company. The bottom line is this is one of the very finest 2006 Shelby GT-H’s in existence. There is NO other GT-H better documented than this vehicle. If you must have the very best example, please give this car your serious consideration.

Ford confirms 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine for 2014 Fusion
Thu, 11 Apr 2013Earlier this week, reports were swirling 'round the internet about the 2014 Ford Fusion getting a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. That was... half correct. Ford today confirmed that the 2014 Fusion is, in fact, getting a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost mill, but it has four cylinders, not three.
The new 1.5-liter engine will be the fifth EcoBoost powerplant from Ford Motor Company. Initially to be built at the automaker's Craiova, Romania plant, it will also be offered in the Fusion's twin, the Mondeo, in other markets. This engine will debut at the Shanghai Motor Show next month, and the 1.5-liter is of particular importance in the Chinese market - there is significant tax relief in the People's Republic for vehicles powered by engines with a capacity of 1.5 liters or less.
At a media briefing Thursday, Ford declined to divulge exact power or fuel economy numbers, though Joe Bakaj, vice president of powertrain engineering, told Autoblog that power output should be similar to that of the current 1.6-liter inline-four, and that overall efficiency will be "better than the 1.6." Our earlier report stated that the 1.5-liter four will produce 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque - losses of 1 hp and 7 lb-ft versus the 1.6-liter engine. Ford states that the 1.5-liter four will feature many of the same technologies used on the company's 1.0-liter EcoBoost inline-three, including an integrated exhaust manifold that recaptures much of the engine's heat.
Entry-level F-150 now offers SuperCrew, Sport Package
Thu, 29 Aug 2013Ford has made a few notable tweaks to the lower end of its F-150 lineup, giving customers a more affordable version of the four-door SuperCrew body style. The popular SuperCrew could previously only be had on XLT models and above, but Ford has announced that 2014 F-150s with the base STX trim can get the more versatile body.
The STX SuperCrew brings the price of a four-door F-150 down from $34,525 to $33,145. Like the XLT SuperCrew, the STX will be available with the choice of a 5.5- or 6.5-foot bed, while a 5.0-liter V8 can replace the base 3.7-liter V6 for $4,425. Ford has not released pricing on the different bed lengths yet, but opting for the 6.5-foot bed on the XLT raises the price $1,240 and forces buyers into the 5.0-liter V8. We'd expect a similar arrangement on the STX.
The other big news for fans of affordable pickups is the addition of an STX Sport Package on the base-level truck. It adds 20-inch wheels, black exterior accents, black-and-gray cloth seats and decals on the truck's box. The Sport Package is available on all three of the STX's body styles, with Ford listing the price as $980 with current discounts.
Ford and GM link bonus checks to quality scores
Tue, 29 Apr 2014The poor first quarter earnings of Ford and General Motors are having an effect all the way up the food chain. Both automakers struggled with recalls in the first three months of the year, and, according to The Detroit News, they have responded by increasing the percentage of bonuses tied to vehicle quality for salaried workers, including top executives.
GM announced that 25 percent of bonuses (up from 10 percent) for all salaried workers would be tied to its vehicle quality standards. The automaker revealed in its financial report that it spent $1.3 billion on recall-related repairs in the first quarter, and net income was down 86 percent.
Ford also increased the quality proportion of bonuses for about 26,000 salaried workers all the way up to CEO Alan Mulally from 10 percent to 20 percent. The company announced in its report that the amount paid out in warranty and recall claims was about $400 million higher than expected in the first quarter. Its net income fell 39 percent from the previous year. "The change reflects how critical quality is to our overall business," said spokesperson Todd Nissen speaking to Autoblog.
