1995 Ford Taurus Roadster Project on 2040-cars
Davenport, Iowa, United States
|
This started life as a 1995 Ford Taurus sedan that has had severe modifications to be the state it's in currently. This has been a fun project to work on however since losing my shop space I no longer have time or space to complete.
The body has a completely custom one-off fiberglass kit applied to it that is 90% or so complete. Everything is completely molded into the car with the exception of the driver side skirt which does come with the vehicle. The headlights are driving lights wired to work as head lights. The taillights are LED's behind the fiberglass which show up through the glass when lit. The underbody of the car is reinforced with 2" x 2" box steel and the roof has been cut along with the window frames on the doors. The guts of the doors have been removed however the inside door handles are in tact and function as the outside handles have been shaved. There is a 2000 Mustang Convertible dashboard installed in the car and an instrument cluster from a 94-95 mustang installed and functional. There is also an LCD monitor installed in the steering wheel that does function when the wheel turns. Also included with the car is the interior components that I have for it. As you can see the door panels were previously wrapped in crushed velvet by the previous owner along with part of the seats and panels. I also have other parts included with the car including the Taurus instrument cluster showing the car has 65k miles (The mustang cluster installed currently has just under 100k on it) on the body/drive train before it underwent surgery. This car DOES run and drive however I would not drive it far since its essentially had zero miles on it for several years. I do however start the car from time to time and move it in and out of the garage as I work on other projects it will will need a trailer to get it home. This is a project and WILL need some work before it can be driven. The title is clean and clear and in my hand. Car is sold as/is with no warranty implied. Pickup within 7 days unless other terms are worked out with seller. |

eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados
Thu, 22 May 2014Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.
Ford builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.
