If you’re a fan of the Ford Mustang, you’ve probably already seen the new Shelby Mustang GT500KR. This awesome reimagining of this classic Ford vehicle has become the centerpiece of another reimagining: the new Knight Rider TV show, featured on NBC.

The Shelby Ford Mustang GT500KR is one of the hottest vehicles Ford has made in a long time. The version of this vehicle that is featured on the Knight Rider show, of course, is tricked out with all sorts of “after market” options. It features a supercomputer capable of hacking complex security systems, a body that can shape shift and change color as well as Artificial Intelligence that help to make KITT the ideal partner in fighting crime.

While you won’t be able to buy a Knight Industries Two Thousand at your local Ford dealer anytime soon, you will be able to see the newly designed Mustang in Ford showrooms. Come to your local Ford dealer and find out more today.

The Ford Mustang is celebrating its 45th year by auctioning three pony cars during the 7th Annual Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Collector Car Auction.

The Ford Motor Company is putting three Mustang cars on the auction block. One of them will be the first retail 2010 Ford Shelby GT500. The other two are a pair of Mustang GT concept cars that have not gone on sale yet. The three Mustangs are going to be sold along with 400 other collector cars for charity on April 9-11 at the Americraft Expo Center at the South Florida Fairgrounds. Any money received for most cars above the manufacturers suggested retail price gets donated to The Carroll Shelby Children’s Foundation. The proceeds from the two Mustang concept cars gets donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Selling these Mustangs in an auction is an extraordinary event, according to Craig Jackson, Chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “It’s rare for a concept vehicle, especially one as iconic as the Ford Mustang, to be sold to the public.” He went on to say that giving enthusiasts “an opportunity to take home the ultimate keepsake is an admirable way to mark the 45th anniversary of the Mustang, which will be celebrated a few days after our event.

You can watch the auction live on the SPEED network. Better yet, get behind the wheel of a new Ford Mustang at your Omaha area Ford dealer!

Suddenly Ford Motor Company seems to be shining brither than ever.  Whether is has been their dedcation to improved quality or their passing on a Federal bail-out package; American consumers seem to be shifting their preference away from GM and Chrysler ove to Ford.  Through January, Ford Motor Co.’s retail-market share had risen for four consecutive months for the first time in 14 years, and that share was coming from General Motors and Chrysler. New data from CNW Market Research show that 19% of consumers who planned to buy a GM passenger car in January or February instead bought a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury. Some 15% of people who set out to buy a Chrysler or Dodge car in January instead switched to one of Ford’s brands.

With its newfound strength, Ford has also regained its ad swagger. The company is displaying a strong tone of confidence in its launch ads for the second-generation Ford Fusion midsize gas-powered sedan and first Fusion Hybrid.  Ford’s Matt Van Dyke, director-marketing communications, said the multimedia blitz, which includes four months of TV advertising that broke last week, targets the so-called “upper purchase funnel” of people who aren’t in the market for a vehicle.

Ford’s approach will allow it to build brand equity and demonstrate that when Americans are ready to buy, there will be a Ford in their future. Mr. McNaughton said he likes the straightforwardness of Fusion’s launch TV spots from WPP Group’s JWT Team Detroit, which highlight fuel efficiency and the vehicle’s Sync technology. “People don’t want dancing girls; they want facts and information.”

The 2009 Ford Fusion is more than just a midsize sedan. This is one of the most interesting midsize sedans on the market today. It features an interior with plenty of room, a smooth ride with handling that can only be described as athletic, and all at an affordable and competitive price.

One of the most interesting things about the 2009 Ford Fusion is the optional SYNC system. This system, developed by Ford and Microsoft, provides plenty of interactivity with just about any sort of MP3 player device that you can use. It integrates fully with the vehicle, providing voice-activated commands for your music library. It also interacts with your cell phone, and is a major reason for you to consider the Ford Fusion.

The Fusion comes standard in 2009 with stability control, and has an optional all wiheel drive. The chassis was originally developed by Mazda, and helps to give a sport character to the vehicle. You can also add the Sport Appearance Package, making it a truly fun vehicle to drive.

2010 Ford Taurus

The all new 2010 Ford Taurus, will be on display this weekend at the Greater Kansas City International Auto Show in Bartle Hall.

The all-new design is decidedly upscale. There’s not a hint of the dowdy old style to be found. The exterior style is dominated by a sculpted hood, pronounced front fenders, and character line that runs front to back ending at the tall trailing edge of the rear fenders. The 2010, which goes on sale this summer, will be a flagship for the Ford brand. As such, it combines sophisticated styling with a new level of technology. Items such as adaptive cruise control with collision warning, a blind-spot information system, Sync, rain-sensing wipers, a voice-activated navigation system and the parent-programmable MyKey are some of the features that will be available. Ford said prices will start at $25,995, the same as the 2009 model.

The high-performance SHO Taurus is back, too, and it will have a 365-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V-6, all-wheel drive and a paddle-shift automatic transmission. Pricing will begin at $37,995.

The SHO package, with a Sony sound system, turns the sedate 265-horsepower standard Taurus into an American-made sports sedan with decent mileage.

“We’ll build to demand,” Said Mulally recently “I don’t expect a huge change in our product.” The handsomely restyled SHO will be available this summer at $37,995.

With overall January sales down 40 percent companywide from the same month a year ago, Ford also injected more excitement unveiling the 14th Harley-Davidson edition of its best-selling F-150 Series pickup.

With all of the talk about hybrids and fuel-efficient vehicles, you may have thought the Ford Mustang was a goner. But at the recent Virginia International Auto Show, muscle cars made an impressive showing.

The auto show took place this weekend and it was almost like a step back in time with a number of models that were once popular. That includes the newly-designed 2010 Ford Mustang and other muscle cars that brought back memories to enthusiasts feeling nostalgic of the days when you could hear the car rev and squeal its tires halfway down the street.

Many people attending the show long for the days of getting behind the wheel of another muscle car. The 2010 Ford Mustang that appeared at the event. This particular car is a pre-production model and won’t be on sale until the summer of 2009.

Some may argue that it’s not a good idea to tout the popularity of muscle cars given the current crisis the domestic automakers find themselves in. However, according to auto show spokesman Elliot Tomaeno, “Americans still have a love affair with these vehicles.” He went on to say that people who enjoy these cars are not interested in fuel efficiency but rather the performance and speed that they offer.

One of the most compelling reasons to consider buying a Ford vehicle today is the revolutionary Ford SYNC system. Developed in conjunction with Microsoft, this system gives drivers an amazing number of ways to connect with their vehicle.

The SYNC system allows users to connect their portable music player with their vehicle. More than just an audio input jack, however, this system actually interacts with the MP3 player and imports playlists. It allows you to browse the music collection using simple voice commands.

It isn’t only music players that the SYNC system interacts with. In addition, it will “talk” to your Bluetooth enabled phone. YOu can use controls on the steering wheel to use your cell phone, hands free. IN addition, it can even convert your text messages to audio and read them aloud to you. It can use your phone’s features, such as caller ID, conference calling, call log and it even imports your phonebook.

Take a look at a vehicle with the SYNC system installed today. You’ll be amazed at how hard Ford has worked to keep you connected.
