4500-Mile Creampuff: 1986 Ford Mustang SVO

This 1986 Ford Mustang SVO is ridiculously clean compared to the many examples with peeling paint, discolored wheels, and thrashed interiors. The seller claims that this car has only 4500 miles from new and all original paint. Silver is an excellent color on this model, and the listing includes promising underbody photos. Find it here on eBay in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey with the reserve already met. (There was previously a $15k Buy-It-Now that has disappeared.)

As mentioned in the comments section, this is the same SVO we featured three years ago (link) when it was in Georgia. The paint on the front end is amazing, and the headlights show no signs of the typical yellowing. If paint is all original this one somehow escaped the dealer with no front plate. Other Mustangs still had recessed lights in 1986, so the SVO was the first model to include the flush headlights that would define the Mustang face for the next eight years.

The interior looks very clean and complete. No dash shot is included, but seller claims that the dash and the leather on the wheel, shifter, and E-brake are all perfect. The headliner was replaced due to sagging, a common problem on these cars.

The engine bay looks surprisingly clean. Even the anodized brackets and hardware doesn’t look overly corroded. It is obvious that the car has been stored indoors. The wheels wear new Goodyear tires and the originals are included with plenty of tread but old and cracking.

This is a great looking example of a desirable Mustang model. The colors are good, and the seller has perfect eBay feedback and sounds like he knows what he is talking about. This car could be enjoyed for a couple of thousand miles per year and qualify as a low-mile car for the next couple decades. That would be more fun that staring at it in the garage, which also wouldn’t be a bad pastime.

New Ford Will Increase The Maximum Trailer Tow Rating

Ford communications increases the maximum trailer rating of 2011.5 and F-350 Super Duty F-450 models for £ 17,500. No coincidence that General Motors, the maximum conventional trailer for the visitors nabbed early 2011 with the latest versions of its Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra HD HD figure to £ 17,000.

To draw up such a huge burden for anyone to see her car should be properly equipped in case of Ford, this means that the 6.7-liter V8 valve diesel engine (400 hp and 800 pounds feet of torque), Crew Cab, dual rear wheels, suspension and weight distribution hitch. For a track, GM says the cars are eligible for the maximum load, the standard-bearing suspension.

Which led to an increase? Ford spokeswoman Anne Marie Gattari explained that the context had changed in August 2010 will work with the new design, the suspension going into production on Monday, July Then in February, was in early 2011, Ford Super Duty Conventional maximum tow rating 16,000 pounds properly equipped.

New 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

We already know, Ford introduced the Mustang Boss 302 in recent years. With a name not used since 1970, was the most powerful atmospheric Boss 302 Ford Mustang, which sold to date. This is a 5.0 liter V8 makes 440bhp and should allow the 302 Boss achieving sub-five seconds 0-60 mph time.
glasses Boss 302 were greeted well and good, one topic caught my attention. Comes with a regular key, and the second-coded Key access to the full exercise of the 302nd Ford boss calls it TracKey and its main purpose is to focus all motor responses for use in the following days, especially in the showboat in the local park with friends. I call it another gimmick or a toy for your car.

He does TracKey Powertrain Control Module, is reportedly turning Boss 302 in competition prepared track car. If you use this software in the PCM to adjust the parameters to adjust to the 200 5.0 V8 engine develops a maximum power. These parameters are the time-camshaft, ignition, which supports and even throttle response. TracKey also access a two-step Launch Control controlled way idiot-proof lights and running.

Ford says that the "qualified drivers will really enjoy the benefits that the car is very focused track day special instant throttle response and feel. Ford to the conclusion that the owner of Boss 302 may be resumed at a normal car key and everything goes Press. If you think 440bhp sensitive at first.

Thing is, why it should be another key to access all that extra sporty? Boss Mustang is supposed to do something all sports in the first place? Actually reminds me of the BMW E39 M5, the first in a long line of performance cars, which began offering two or more 'power' setting the driver to choose. M5 "Sport" button, allowing drivers honking in the city with less aggressive throttle response and management.

M5 Now, why would you ever want less handling and less throttle? M5 felt perfect sport button on and off with the wet. I blame E39 M5 (see photo below), this trend has more tricks in all cars today. E39 M5 was an incredible car. But as some, one must somehow almost all manufacturers of performance cars down, I thought that Maul and Sledge Hammer.

Of course, all these technologies in the game as you drive to eco-friendly residence with a less aggressive map, so instead of sips sips gasoline. However, the results of the car key you can switch between the economy and the government has everything you need, and sometimes also click on the button. The key to it is even worse. TracKey Suppose you have lost and continue every effort to one from a dealer. Would a small button "Song" is easier to ape a "speed key" to bring the Bugatti Veyron?

Ford marketing people must understand that this new Mustang Boss 302 has more than enough heritage to stand on its own, instead of resorting to unnecessary tricks. Or then again, these extra keys and buttons are there to help homeowners who for eight years in the heart. Big Boys Toys and many more bells and whistles, the better.

New Ford Supercar Be In the Works?

North American International Auto Show in Detroit attracted journalists and leaders from around the world. Hence, journalists ask questions and gain insight into what was his debut.

Ford is mainly there to talk to existing products, and a brief media about his future plans.

Automobile Magazine is part Q & A with Derrick Kuzak, head of global product development and Chief Technology Officer and Executive Director Paul Mascarenas Alan Mulally.

During negotiations, the question was about a new supercar, fungi from the mid-engine Ford GT. Ford GT was produced between 2005 and 2006 as a retro-style sequel to the original Ford GT40 supercar of 1960.
As expected, there was no confirmation of a new model. The idea of a certificate of high-profile new supercar from the mainstream manufacturers such as Ford was a longshot.

What was, was denied. Instead, Kuzak said after the pause: "Well, I think there are certain things we do not want Mark to speak in terms of four years of planning product, whether it's OK."

Sounds like good advice for us - and certainly leaves the door open. Ford to its targets for profitability and a significant traction in the market, would introduce new halo supercar something in the cards for the future.

Most likely, we believe that the potential model will be associated with GT. There are many features - such as hybrid models like the Porsche 918 Spyder. Regardless, we can only hope that something in the works.

New Ford C-Max 1.6 TDCi

What is it?

We are very impressed with all Ford C-Max, we've tried so far, both at home and abroad. The seven-seat version of Grand Stars scored 4:30 into his road test two weeks ago and now it's time to see how the compact five-seat sibling appearances on British roads.

We tested the entry-level 113bhp 1.6 turbo diesel version that will be the biggest seller of the five-seater C-Max buyers. Our arrival in loaded titanium bar for £ 19,745, although most buyers will be the £ 18,245 Zetec model to choose.

How does it feel?

Ford had a hit on its hands with this model. Most striking in the start-up is how quiet the engine, so no more sensible way of saying that oil. He pulled the line is not as smooth as we like, even if they feel underpowered engine in the first and second on the bottom.

This can cause the car to feel váhave the length and require a firm grip on the right foot pedals and a small clutch to ensure that it places.

But this lack of initial grunt engine only drawback, and it is certainly not a solution-breaker, that small changes in driving style requires a second nature after a few miles had been agreed.

Implementation of power and torque is linear (hesitation disappears right turbo and maximum torque is), slick gearchange and the engine is still quiet and incredibly refined to almost all speeds and conditions, or sit in the outer lane highway or a series of tootling High Street.

Smooth ride and great body control seven seats, the nurses were equally impressive in a shorter five-seater model. The fully electric power steering is accurate and balanced, too. This is a car with handling qualities that you would expect from a car in its class, is almost always not boring.
Should I buy?

If you do not need the extra seats and the interior features a large, heavy recommended this excellent five-version instead of lightning operations rivals like the Opel Meriva. It also looks promising for the next five seat car Ford will spin off Platform: the new Focus.

2011 Ford Focus rendered speculation

The face lifted Focus range has reinvigorated the popular hatch, headlined by the aggressive performance flagship RS model, although this merely preempts the arrival of the all-new Focus due in 2011

The new model will take Ford’s kinetic design to its limits, offering a truly global package with international style, highly-efficient powertrains and innovative green technologies.

These artists’ renderings provide a glimpse at what we may be able to expect from Ford, combining the current kinetic motif with the “Bold American” theme currently employed by the Fusion and Edge crossover SUV.

Under the “One Ford” product strategy devised by CEO Alan Mullaly, the next-generation Focus is being designed and engineered by Ford of Europe which has been assigned the role as the brand’s centre for global small-car development.

This strategy has been formulated with the aim of reducing initial costs and improving manufacturing economies of scale by employing a single design for all markets rather than introducing separate designs for specific regions.

The car will likely debut Ford’s new C3 architecture which has been built as a versatile platform to suit a wider range of vehicle types including compact-crossovers and people movers, along with eventually forming the underpinnings of sister models such as the Mazda3 and Volvo range.

The new Focus will be the make-or-break car for Ford as the economic slump will no doubt eventually take its toll on what has so far proved to be the most resilient US car maker.

The 2012 Mustang Boss 302 was unveiled this morning at Mazda Raceway Mustang Laguna Seca, and we were at the track bright and early to see it take a lap around the famous race course. Due to some early morning rain, the lap actually never happened (we weren't told and were up at the corkscrew for about an hour waiting in the rain), but we managed to make it down to the pits to catch our first glimpse at the car.

We'll spare you going over the details again - you can see the official press release, photos and video from our post this morning – but what we can bring you are the first live photos of the Mustang Boss 302, including a few of the "Laguna Seca" edition.
