Up for auction is our 2007 SHELBY HERTZ convertible. The car was sold in Florida on 5/29/08 by Hertz Surplus to a dealer here in Southern California. We purchased the car on 11/07/08 with 15,603 miles on it. The car was for my wife to drive as a second car. Yes, my wife! I have a '67 GT 500 that she wanted to go cruising in. NO WAY!! The car has been kept in our garage since we bought it and except for the stripes, the car is in great condition. The Hertz Gold stripes have some "Yellowing" spots from weather. It's our understanding that ALL cars with the vinyl stripes have this problem. We replaced the stripes shortly after we bought the car and thought about painting them on but decided to keep the car original. The top is in perfect condition along with the interior. The exterior paint has a few small chips in the paint from its rental days but NO dents or dings. As you can see, the car has been signed by Carroll himself! Well, not really. We did ad this vinyl sticker of Carroll Shelby's signature in the correct GOLD color on each side of the car before the last show we had it in. Our plan was to remove it after the show, but since it was a big hit, we left it on. It will peel right off if you don't want it. Everything on this car works!! The car has 23,626 miles on it now and we replaced the tires about 2 years ago. I am trying to locate the paperwork. We have all the service records and the original rental keys with the Hertz key tags, convertible top boot cover, original dash ID tag, some Hertz items (cup, note pad, etc.). Car can be inspected with an appointment here in Torrance, California. I will be happy to email you pictures of whatever angle you want.
Buyer is responsible for arranging pick up and all transportation fees. A $2000 deposit is required within 48 hours of auctions end. Balance can be paid by cashier's check or cash within 10 days of auctions end. All cashier's checks must clear! Car will continue to be stored in our garage for up to 30 days.
As I stated, I own a 1967 GT 500 that I bought in 1976. I paid $2,500 for it! These cars not only hold their value, but increase over the years and are a lot of fun to drive. Every time we take one out, we meet new people and make new friends! We are in NO hurry to sell this car and we have set our reserve based on what they are selling for around the country in this condition with this mileage. Good Luck!!

Ford Ka Concept shown in Brazil, could enter production by 2014
Wed, 13 Nov 2013The Ford Ka (pronounce it like a Bostonian saying "car") is the Blue Oval's sub-Fiesta offering in a number of markets that aren't North America. It's been a staple in Europe since it launched in 1996 and in South America since 1997, where it's enjoyed quite a bit of popularity as an affordable, efficient city car.
The European and South American models grew apart over the years, until Europe ended up with a Fiesta-inspired car and Brazil retained a more evolved version of the original Ka's styling. With this Ka Concept, which is really a concept in name only, Ford is previewing a Ka not just for the European market, but as the brand's new, global small car. With city car sales expected to grow dramatically in coming years and the ever increasing price of fuel, Ford's move to get a new, competitive car into the market on a global level isn't surprising.
Wearing Ford's new, familial grille, the Ka Concept features the same crisp, sculpted sheetmetal that's adorned the Fusion and Fiesta. Developed in-house by Ford Brazil, a production version could launch by 2014, according to Ford's press release. It's unclear what engines will sit under this car's hood, although we'd bet the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Fiesta will be available at some point.
Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford
Thu, 16 Oct 2014The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
Ford brings FPV Falcon production in house [w/video]
Thu, 21 Feb 2013For the first time since 1976, Ford of Australia is bringing the assembly of its stonking Ford Performance Vehicle line back in-house to the company's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. That's a point of pride for FPV, which builds high-performance versions of the Australian Falcon model like the F6, GS and the heroic GT seen here.
In the video below, we hear FPV employees talking in hushed tones about the important legacy that cars like the GT have for Australian gearheads of all stripes, and how proud they are to say that hand-built machines like this GT R-Spec with its Boss 355 engine are now rolling out of their home base. For our part, we're just dying to drive this version of the Coyote V8; the engine is rocking a "Miami" supercharger from Harrop and makes some 450 horsepower.
Continue on below for the video, or you can check out some images of the new FPV at the facility, as well as a gallery of the GT R-Spec car.
