The car is in good condition but not perfect."
The Ford Taurus Rage Concept Vehicle was designed by Ford Motor Company for the 1999 SEMA Auto show. Its a one of body design meant to gauge public reaction. It was never put into production however because Ford decided to change the Taurus design the following year. There is a great story behind this car and a great cult like following. This car is rare for being a one of one but even rarer considering the story behind this model SHO. There weren't many Taurus SHOs produced from 1997-1999 and its said that maybe 5 percent of them still exist today. There was a design flaw in the motor of Taurus SHOs of this era that if not caught in time could blow the engine. Ford turned a blind eye to it and many law suits ensued. In typical corporate fashion they waited out the suits and eventually they pretty much went away. What was happening was the cams were held by a pin in the cam shaft. Someone could easily spot weld the cams and make it to where they were locked in and didn't rupture. For many people who didn't know this, their SHO died. This was said to happen around 100,000 miles. The Rage has had the pins welded by an expert in Illinois that has done many of these procedures. This gentleman is well known within the SHO community and he wrote a very detailed report about the components to this car. He said that the parts of the car were hand picked by the designers. They used all of the best parts of each SHO within the model year. The design team then created clay models to work from. Once the design was ready a company by the name of Special Projects got involved to bring the idea to life. Lear motor sports supplied the seats, and the rims are Italian import MOMOs that cannot be re duplicated. The spoiler on the back is one off as well. The body of the rage was done right. The added features are of the highest quality. The ground effects are welded steel, the body work is all fiberglass, done carefully by a very experienced design team. The Rage is a late 90s time piece and your chance to own a car that no one else on the planet can have. I am from the Motor City Detroit and truly love this car and want to keep it forever because there's nothing else like it and its not a SEMA car that's overly gaudy. Its smooth looking, its loud, its bright, and heads turn everywhere it goes. Enthusiasts invite me to bring the car to all of their events and people as far out as Australia have made comments on forums online. The legend of The Rage can continue to grow with the right owner especially since the Taurus line is back. This car is and will be a classic car of the late 90s era. See you on Woodward!

Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]
Wed, 05 Jun 2013For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.
Ford recalls 1.3 million Fusions, MKZs: Steering wheels could come off
Wed, Mar 14 2018When driving a car, the steering wheel is only expected to move in a rotational fashion, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. When it moves in some other direction, something is wrong, and when it moves the wrong way enough that it is no longer attached to the steering column, that's a really, really bad thing. And apparently, according to a recall issued by Ford, there are over 1.3 million Ford Fusions and Lincoln MKZs that are at risk of this happening. And at least two accidents and one injury have been attributed to the issue. Ford says the problem is that the steering wheel bolt that keeps the wheel attached to the column might not provide enough torque, resulting in the bolt slowly loosening and working its way off the column. The good news is that the fix is really simple. Ford will install a larger bolt with more threads along with a larger nylon patch to keep it all locked down. The fix is completely free to owners. Cars affected by the recall include 2014 to 2017 Fusions built built at the Flat Rock plant in Michigan between August 6, 2013, and February 29, 2016. Model year 2014-2018 Fusions and MKZs built at the Hermosillo factory in Mexico are also affected. So if you have one of those sedans, please get in touch with your local dealer to have the issue addressed. Related Video:
