FOR SALE BY OWNER - Listed by National Marketing Classifieds (NMSell)
Engine: 302, 40,000 miles, Exterior: Red, Interior: Red. VIN: 1FABP46W0EH119852 . THe history of the car is important to its value. The car was built by the Jack Rousch Company in 1994. It was ordered by Legendary public relations motors port director for PPG by the name of Jim Chapman. The cost was $85,000 and was the only PPG pace car for the championship auto racing teams series (cart) that was street legal. All the pace cars of that time were not street legal and at the end of their life, were to be destroyed as presented in the contract. The car was used to give pace car rides to guest of PPG and to pace races midway through 1994 season and into 1995 season. The car is unique cause it is greatly modified compared to the 1994 Ford Thunderbird Turbo of the time. It has a hand built 302 high roller engine (high performance) and at the time was run as high as 165 mph. It has a 5 speed gear box ans a koni air suspension along with Craiger rims and oversized tires. The outside body is in very good condition with no rust and one tiny dent put in it at the 1995 Michigan race by Johnny Rutherford when he hit an orange cone. The interior is also red and in very good condition, although a little faded. The car has 40,000 miles on it. At the end of its use as a pace car, it was given to Kenny Lowe who managed the pace car team under Jim Chapman (who was Babe Ruth's manager and PR guy until he died). Kenny was as they say "volume challenged" and did not fit well in the car so he sold it to a member of the cart safety team. The safety team member sold it to me after he left it in his garage for 13 years. He used it on occasion but needed the space in his garage. I bought it from him and as only the third owner, have only driven it on occasion but it pretty much has sat unused in my garage. The engine was recently tuned up and is running great. The historical value is that the car was a special order by Jim Chapman and was designed to be street legal, yet worked as a very fast pace car for the cart series. I doubt it is the only pace car left from that time period, it represents the golden age of open wheel racing as a street legal pace car for the very popular cart series. My interest in selling it is to a collector who cal appreciate the history and uniqueness of the car. It is simply too much of a car for me and the primary use I got for it was for car shows and special vintage car rally's. Sadly, I am no longer able to participate in these events.

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.

It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.

Ford supports bid for Detroit Rallycross race with Motown-minded Fiesta ST vid
Mon, 01 Jul 2013As Ford continues its cheerleading effort to help bring the 2014 Summer X Games to its hometown of Detroit, MI, it has released footage of its 2014 Fiesta ST Rallycross car on location at some of the city's well-known landmarks. This video appears to have been shot around the same time as the previous X Games Detroit video was made, but it focuses 100-percent on rally car action.
With Ford Racing driver Andreas Eriksson behind the wheel, this Fiesta ST lays down some serious rubber atop Detroit's Cobo Hall parking structure, at Belle Isle and around the Michigan Central Depot. Detroit isn't alone in the bid for a three-year X Games contract as Chicago, Austin and Charlotte are also hoping to play host. The winning host city is expected to be announced this summer. Scroll down for Ford's two-minute video showing the Fiesta ST Rallycrossing through the Motor City.
