The driver sued the Delaware police and won $50,000

Last year, Delaware police approached a driver who was warning other drivers about a speed camera. The driver filed and won a lawsuit in federal court, according to which the Delaware police must pay him $50,000.

Jonathan Guessford, 54, claims the police acted unlawfully when they intervened as he stood on the side of the road holding a sign that read “Radar Ahead”. After a warning, the officers confiscated the sign and released Guessford. However, when leaving Guessford flipped them off.

The officers gave chase and drove at 100 mph on a road where the speed limit is 55 mph, due to improper hand signaling. During the drive, the dash cam recorded a conversation between the officers that proves they knew they had no basis for a fine. “We have no basis to write him a sentence, it will be dismissed,” said one of the policemen.

Police officers threatened to charge Guessford with resisting arrest and tried to intimidate him by saying they would impound his car and call social services to pick up his son, who was in the car with him. Guessford asked, is that a threat? “It’s not a threat, it’s a promise,” said one of the officers.

After an internal investigation, the Delaware Police Department initiated disciplinary proceedings against the officers.

1964 1/2 Mustang Convertible is up for auction

Although the Mustang has been produced since 1964, there is no official model from that year. However, there is a rare 1964 1/2 Mustang, which was produced from March to August 1964. During that period, 121,538 units left the assembly line, of which 28,833 were convertibles and 92,705 were coupes. One of the Convertibles, a 1964 1/2 Mustang is up for auction.

This 1964 1/2 Mustang is powered by a 4.7L V8 engine with 225 hp (165 kW), paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels. It was owned by one person and was equipped with accessories that included a center console, AM/FM radio and a power sunroof, as well as the Rally-Pac package that included a tachometer and clock installed under the dash.

The car has never been restored. The sunroof isn’t perfect, the chassis has some surface rust, and the interior needs some work. No big deal, considering it’s a 60-year-old car, and you’re unlikely to find another unrestored 1964 1/2 Mustang in this condition.

This is an outstanding opportunity to purchase this rare and highly desirable car, which is being offered for auction on ebay. The auction ends on September 18th and the current highest bid is USD $28,000.00.

Modified Range Rover

Range Rover is difficult to modify with taste. There are several aftermarket packages that can precisely match the style and elegance of the Range Rover body and enhance it in some way. RDB LA and 1016 Industries have done just that by introducing the Silver Surfer.

The car is covered in satin silver aluminum foil that makes it stand out even next to an exotic supercar. It is equipped with a front lip spoiler, extended sills, more pronounced wheel arches and a redesigned front bumper with a diffuser, a new exhaust system, and a roof spoiler. The price depends on whether the components (made by 1016 Industries) are painted ($28,500), made of carbon ($35,000), or forged carbon ($40,000).

RDB LA, based in Los Angeles, equipped the car with new 26-inch retro rims. Although their size may have a negative impact on comfort, the brushed aluminum finish matches the exterior design perfectly.

“I believe our latest package brings this vehicle to perfection,” said founder and CEO of 1016 Industries Peter Northrop.
