AUTO MODIFIED 2011

It is interesting to note that the 66 Shelby GT 350H also had Magnum 500 wheels. The Magnum 500 wheels didn't make there appearance on the factory Ford cars until 1969.

At the time the cars quickly became known as rent a racers. It was not uncommon to have people rent that cars for the week and take them to the local track for some fun. In fact many cars came back from weekend rentals with holes drilled in the floor boards where the roll bars had been installed and then removed. Once Hertz completed the rental terms on the cars most were sold to Ford dealers across the country to be re-sold. Surprising to us now the dealers had a hard time selling the cars because of their rental history. At the time they sold on dealers lots for around $2,500.00. I'd love to buy a few for $2500.00 today.


This is the first photo of the 5.0-liter all-aluminum beatin' heart of the 2011 Ford Mustang GT that'll pump at a rockin' 412 HP and 390 lb-ft of torque. Merry Christmas.

The GT's V8 engine is a naturally aspirated 24-valve SOHC unit with a 3.55-inch bore, 3.54-inch stroke and a compression ratio of 9.8 to 1. The Mustang GT's V8 is 300 hp at 5,750 rpm and 320 ft.-lbs of torque at 4,500 rpm. The V8-powered GT model boasts a lot of horsepower and driving dynamics that, in a departure from Mustangs past, are actually pretty impressive. Two engines are offered in the Mustang. Base versions are powered by a 4.0-liter SOHC V-6 with 210 hp. GT models get the sonorous 4.6-liter V-8 with 300 hp. Both engines come standard with a five-speed manual transmission; a five-speed automatic is optional.

The 2011 Ford Focus is available in two models, sedan and coupe. The sedan comes in a four door model with different packages; S, SE, SES and SEL trim levels, but the coupe only comes as an SE or SES package. Whatever Focus you pick you will get the same engine 2.0 liter four cylinder inline offering 140 horsepower. The car has a standard five speed manual transmission with a four speed automatic transmission optional. The car gets you around town with ease.

One of the best features on this car is the Sync system which is developed with Microsoft it allows one to use their cell phone, MP3 player, iPOD, Bluetooth, and Personal Data Administrator via voice commands with a four speaker CD/MP3 player and standard auxiliary jack. On more expensive packages you can also use the Sync system to get navigation and travel conditions. Otherwise the interior of the vehicle is pretty standard for a vehicle of this size with cloth seats and a vinyl dashboard. The seating is comfortable enough for around town or road trips with plenty of storage in the fourteen cubic foot trunk space.

Ford Vertrek concept is a no-compromise solution we feel utility vehicle customers will embrace around the world," said Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president of Global Product Development. "It is a revolution compared to what is typically seen in this segment in North America and is a stylish evolution compared with products outside North America. This new design is sleeker and more fuel efficient and delivers the capability, including people and cargo volume, customers demand globally."

Ford claim that the new Ford C Max will save the owner £800 a year compared to the current model, this claim is based on the fact that the new C Max comes under a lower insurance group, has lower CO2 emissions and has enhanced fuel economy.

The Chevrolet Equinox and the Ford Escape both have a six speed automatic transmission. But the Equinox has a horsepower of 182, while the Escape falls just a bit shy of that number, with a horsepower of 171. When it comes to safety, both vehicles are well-matched against each other. They both have standard front impact airbags and side impact curtains. Both vehicles have overhead airbags for the first and second row of seats. They both have ABS brakes and an ignition-disabling feature. One outstanding feature that the Equinox has over the Escape is a standard OnStar 12 month system. OnStar provides drivers with an automatic crash response, roadside assistance in and outside of Winnipeg to anywhere in North America, and other helpful features.

Buying a new car in Winnipeg means having to choose which one is the best fit. If you have a general idea of what style of vehicle you want, then you can make the decision easier on yourself. Once you know what appeals the most to your sense of style, take the next step and start comparing similar vehicles. The Chevrolet Equinox and the Ford Escape are two great vehicles with some different features to consider.

As the first small truck to feature dual airbags, Ranger has always led the small and mid-sized pickup truck market in safety, and the 2010 model is no exception. Ford has updated the Ranger's safety features for 2010 with disk brakes and side curtain airbags to protect occupants from injury in a side-impact or rollover situation. The Ranger has received a 5 out of 5 driver's side frontal crash rating and a 4 out of 5 passenger's side frontal crash rating from the NHTSA. Ranger also has a 5 out of 5 front side impact rating.

In return, we won't muck around with what we think on the looks either. When the new five-door hatchback Focus was unveiled in Europe late last year, we were lukewarm about its appearance. Ford took the safe route, eschewing the previous generation's cutting-edge design. So indistinct are the aesthetics (of the European model) that this writer strolled past the saloon's debut at this year's Geneva Motor Show without realizing that it would be the car tasked with reviving Ford's fortunes in passenger saloons. We were worried.

We'll spare you the drama, the new Ford Focus sedan is very good indeed, but you've probably clued in to that already. The main question - and one that's asks of many Ford products - is whether the Focus can replicate its success in Europe and take on the might of Toyota and Honda in Asia. Overcoming its modest brand image in the passenger car segment will be key. Remember the Laser/ Lynx? That was a good steer too, yet for all its generous cabin space, class-leading driving dynamics and decent quality, there were few takers. So this time round, Ford isn't mucking about with rebadged Mazdas, only the most successful passenger car in Blue Oval's recent history would suffice, a true global Ford car that has sold over five million units around the world.

Depending on where you live, Ford Mondeo may be available for both contract hire and leasing options. As an individual, it's important that you engage in leasing opportunities before purchasing a vehicle-the Mondeo often has 1-3 year leasing options, giving you the opportunity to try it, and several other vehicles, before you buy. As a business owner, giving Ford Mondeo a try through a contract hire will help you not only try out vehicles before you buy them for your company but also keep your company look sleek and in line-all of your employees could be driving a Ford Mondeo, in several colors-and you'll have the option to upgrade every 1-3 years, keeping your fleet looking like new one-hundred percent of the time.

Car dealers are offering a fuller range of models. The price for a new Ford Edge is priced at around £14,995, the Edge TDCi is priced at £15,995, Zetec at £16,995 and Titanium is competitively priced at £17,995. These are fantastic deals and Ford has just launched a really good deal on car finance. If you take out car finance to purchase a Ford vehicle it is typically only 4.9%. Of course this percentage may vary depending on your financial situation. Although the government scrappage scheme has now ended these prices are still fairly good with car dealers not actually increasing their prices by £2000. In fact in most circumstances the price of new cars has only increased by £1000 because this is the price car dealers put forward for the scrappage scheme package. The government contributed a further £1000 into the £2000 scrappage scheme.

First produced by the Ford Motor Company in 1993, the Ford Mondeo is a car that you can count on to be sleek, stylish and muscular-it fits every personality, every budget and embodies the meaning of its name: world. Although Mondeo is a large-size sedan that is often driven by the traditional family man, it looks like anything but a family vehicle. Mondeo was marketed as a car for everyone in the world alongside the Contour and the Mercury Mystique, two other similar vehicles in the Ford lineup.

With a new, trendy, and sleek look, the design of the 2011 Explorer is unconventional and not baggy like most other SUVs. One of the best parts of this vehicle is its availability in various colors like Kona Blue, White Platinum, Tuxedo Black, Red Candy, and Golden Bronze to name a few. Explorer is all set to come with the best engine which could give the vehicle excellent fuel economy.

The V6 model rides on all wheels, a technology developed with Land Rover. The adjustment of engine behavior to terrain conditions is accomplished by means of a knob on the console. It can adjust the car's transmission shifts, throttle tip-in, calibrations for traction and stability systems. The Hill Descent Control option brakes the engine to control the car when going down-hill.

One of the future launches from the house of Ford is the 2011 Explorer. Since people have already seen the basic concept of some top rated SUVs, Ford engineers and designers had a tough time to come up with something new with the 2011 Explorer. They introduced new shapes, technology and design which may possibly be catchy to the people of US residing in numerous cities like Springfield and Livingston.

The interior features a set of inflatable seat belts for the backseats, a technology developed in the last 10 years. The materials, fit and finish and the tight gaps are the best interior Ford has accomplished. The goal for the interior design was to make it compete with other strong and expensive ones like the Audi Q7 and BMW X5.

Limited trim levels, XLP or Base levels will be sold this winter. The first two will come with incorporated MyFord Touch technology with LCD screens, a color touch screen in the center and USB ports, RCA video input jacks, SD card readers and Ford Sync.

Bunkie was able to lure several GM Design Engineers over to Ford in 1968. One of them was designer Larry Shinoda, the man who had drawn up the Z/28's sport image in 1967. Shinoda was tasked with besting a performance legend that he had helped to create. Shinoda contributed the new cars stripes, spoilers and window slats, as well as its name. Two Boss Mustangs were born in 1969, both originally developed concurrently by Ford's performance contractor, Kar Kraft Engineering, in Brighton, Michigan.

There were also four distinct special models of the 1969 Mustang for sale. These included the Mach 1, the Boss 302, the Boss 429, and the Shelby. While the standard models sold best, these models forged the Mustang's iconic status. The Mach 1 fastback boasted a 351 V8 with dual exhausts, and it had the handling suspension to match. Ford designed the Boss 302 as a "killer" fastback called the Trans Am until Pontiac claimed the name. The 302 Boss V8 produced 290 rated horsepower at 4600 rpm, but actual horsepower was a lot closer to 400. The Boss 429 was the costliest non-Shelby to date, but this one never lived up to the hype due to a chassis that couldn't live up to the car's maximum output. Likewise, the Shelby, while winning style points, lost performance points due to weight that limited performance. Modern enthusiasts are able to overcome these limitations though.
2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 New Generation

In 1967 the first big-block Mustang was introduced, the S-code 390 which was rated at 320 hp. This Mustang was not able to compete with the hot new SS 396 Camaro , so in 1968 the 428 Cobra Jet engine was introduced, giving the Mustang true muscle car status, but then why stop there? In February 1968 when Bunkie Knudsen arrived in Dearborn he brought with him some strong ideas concerning the Mustang. He believed the popular pony car was a good looking automobile, but that there were a tremendous amount of people out there that wanted a good looking automobile that could perform. He also knew that the Z/28 Camaro, created with SCCA Trans-Am road racing in mind, could handle and stop as well as it could accelerate. Big block pony cars were faster, but left something to be desired going through the curves with all that weight up front.

The 2010 C Max is still based on the Focus but Ford is trying to create a separate audience for the C Max; it is aimed at young families that need to fit baby seats and buggies. What makes the C Max unique from most of its competitors is that it is available as a 7 seater in the form of the Grand C Max.

The C Max is a compact crossover built by Ford; with the introduction of the S Max it means the C Max is the smallest MPV in Ford's line up. The C Max has been in production since 2003 albeit as the Focus C Max as it was based predominantly on the Ford Focus.

The new Focus is the first North American Ford vehicle to offer torque vectoring control”, said Rick Bolt, program manager for the Ford Focus. “This is a technology that has been offered on high-end sports cars, yet Ford is making it standard on their new small car.The 2012 Focus will be available with a new vehicle stability control system, which uses torque vectoring to improve the car’s handling. According to Ford, the system was inspired from downhill skiing and snowboarding techniques.

The Ford Focus has been around for a few years and has developed a reputation for being a good value as a practical economy car. For 2012, Ford gave the Focus a few exterior touch ups and as a result, this shining star has been improved inside and out. One interesting fact to note is that recycled materials were incorporated into the building process for padding and insulation purposes. Enough fabric material to make up two pairs of denim jeans will be used in each Focus automobile. Consumers will be able to select from seven different trim levels; from the base S sedan priced at $18,790 up to the top of the line Titanium five door sedan at $22,765.

A preview of a car is just that -- a short introduction to a particular model. Certainly, a longer drive over several hours, preferably days would be best and that time will come next year. Meanwhile, the Focus BEV is a promising vehicle, one of many all new electric cars hitting the market in 2011.

Both the Sport and FX4 models can be found customized in a multitude of different ways. The best interior fabrics are reserved for these models along with CD players, cruise control, remote keyless entry, and bucket seats. All of these models are offered in either regular, extended, or super cabs. The sport packages have specially tuned suspension systems made for the best highway performance possible. Off road packages were designed with raised bodies, custom Bilstein shocks, and specially geared 4 wheel drive systems. The FX4 is one of the most popular off road packages for the mid-size truck class.

2001 Ford Ranger trucks come with either a 2.3 liter four cylinder engine or a 4.0 liter V6. The smaller four cylinder is more than adequate for trucks with small bodies and only 2 wheel drive. For the best experience it is highly recommended that buyers look at purchasing a 4.0 liter V6 equipped model. All sport and Fx4 models come with the V6. The 4 cylinder engine comes with a standard 5 speed manual transmission and an optional 4 speed automatic. The V6 motors are only offered with a automatic transmission.
