 This stunning limited edition 2007 SHELBY HERTZ convertible awaits you in Sunny So Cal!  Have fun and turn heads in this gorgeous black and gold Shelby Hertz.   This RARE LOW, LOW MILEAGE car has never been hit and has no dents or dings. 

The cloth convertible top is in perfect condition.  We have the matching cloth boot, which many of these cars do not have.    The interior is in perfect condition.  The exterior paint has a few tiny chips on the door edges from its rental days, but NO dents or dings.

As you can see, the car has been signed by Carroll himself! Well, not really. We did add vinyl decal reproductions of Carroll Shelby's signature in the correct metallic GOLD color on each side of the car before the last show the car appeared in.  :)   Our plan was to remove them after the show, but since they are so eye-catching, we decided to leave them on for a while.   The vinyl decals will peel right off if you don't want them, and we will remove them for you in that case.  

Everything on this car works!! We replaced the tires with the exact factory ones about 2 years ago, so they have very low mileage on them.  We have all the service records and the original rental keys with the Hertz key tags, convertible top boot cover, original dash ID tag, some Hertz items (cup, note pad, etc.).   My husband bought me this car because I'd undergone some major surgery and he wanted me to have some fun. FUN INDEED!  I LOVE driving this car and it gets so much attention everywhere I go in it.   However, I am not a very aggressive driver, so the car has been treated gently...I have never abused it and have not driven it "hard".    The stripes are currently in need of replacing, which in our experience needs to be done every 2-3 years.   If we don't sell the car, we will likely have the stripes painted this time around so that they never need replacing again.

We participate as a family in So. Cal Mustang and Shelby car shows and this beautiful unique car has won many trophies, which you will receive with your purchase.

ALSO, and this is a BIG ALSO.......I have a Carroll Shelby autographed airbag cover--the correct factory airbag cover for this car!!!!!    It has never been installed on any car, but now that Carroll is no longer with us, this makes this goodie a fantastic opportunity to have his autograph on the dash of your 2007 Shelby Hertz, which will make the car even more of a rarity!  If you want this item, you will have first dibs on it for an additional $850.00 at the end of the auction.  Otherwise, it will be listed on eBay after the car is sold.

I have some other rare goodies, like a vintage Hertz garment back in black with gold stripes to match the car, gold Hertz polo shirts, a matching baseball cap, posters, magazine ads, Hot Wheels.....the buyer of this car will have first notice about auctions on these extra items that I will be listing on eBay when the car is sold.  Or.....you can make me an offer.   :)

This gorgeous Shelby GT-H can be inspected by appointment here in Torrance, California. I will be happy to email additional photos upon request.

Buyer is responsible for arranging pick up and all transportation fees. A $2000 deposit is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction, which you may pay via Paypal. Balance to be paid within 30 days of the close of auction by either cashier's check or in person at a local (Torrance area) branch of your bank.    If you pay by cashier's check, the check must clear before we can arrange shipment of the car.   The car will continue to be stored in our garage for up to 30 days.

Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.

Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
