1955 Retromod on 2040-cars
Denver, North Carolina, United States
|
Great cruiser! This car was retro-modded in 1998 by Andrew Keegan, the actor, who was then dating and later engaged to Leann Rimes, the country music star, who has ridden in the car. I bought the car in 2009 from Mr. Keegan. The paint is pearlescent with 20 pounds of crushed pearls in the paint. The dove grey interior matches the dove grey soft top (only the soft top, not shown). The dash, seat piping and door trim is purple. There are purple accents under the hood. There are imperfections on chrome headlight covers and three paint chips. The carpet is slightly stained. The car has been lowered 3" overall, and the rear end raised 2" for a beautiful stance. It has disk brakes on the front wheels and American Racing Mags all around. The front and the rear of the car are custom and give it a clean, sleek look. Matching fender skirts are included (not shown). The car has been converted to 12 V. The battery is in the trunk. The motor was rebuilt in 1998 when the car was modified. It has a 1957 intake manifold and carburetor for easy starts. Did I say that this is a great cruiser? |

Next SVT Mustang may axe Shelby name, go naturally aspirated
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Following our first glimpse at the 2015 Ford Mustang out on the road, the fine folks at Road and Track have divulged some details on what the Blue Oval's next pony might have in store. We've already seen that the car will get some very sleek, Evos-inspired design cues, and an independent rear suspension is indeed in store. These new details, however, concern the muscle car's beating heart.
For starters, the base Ford coupe is expected to carry on with V6 power, likely from the same 3.7-liter unit found in today's car. From there, R&T says the next step up will be a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, likely displacing 2.3 liters, putting out as much as 350 horsepower. Of course, a Mustang wouldn't be a Mustang without V8 thrust, and R&T states that the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 will continue on into the 2015 car, making something like 450 horsepower.
But it's at the high end of the Mustang range where things will, reportedly, get very, very interesting. Road & Track claims that the top-shelf 'Stang will likely lose the supercharger from its engine, producing a metric crap-ton of naturally aspirated grunt instead. Additionally, the SVT-fettled Mustang will likely be dropping its Shelby moniker, in favor of "a name you're familiar with," according to the magazine (you know, like, Cobra).

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings
Mon, 29 Sep 2014While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.
