Recently imported to the USA, Customs duty paid, titled & registered as a historic vehicle in Maryland. Clear title in my name and can be registered for road use in any state. The Escort is originally a Left hand drive car, built by Ford for the European market and first registered in Macedonia on 12/30/1970. I have original papers from Macedonia and the original owners manual translated into their language also. It was imported to the UK a few years ago, where i purchased it from the 2nd owner in Cheshire. Engine & trans: original 1600cc Kent Crossflow 4 cyl, with 4 branch manifold, K&N filter, newer alternator & battery. Mated to standard 4 speed gearbox with recently replaced clutch & selector arm. Chassis: Front disc brakes, rear factory leaf springs with lowering blocks & drum brakes on the rear. Atlas short type rear axle (bigger & stronger than the typical "English" type axle, can handle major power upgrades). Open differential. 7J x13" Two Gates wheels with 185/60 tires.. Rear tires are brand new. Interior: Black fishnet Recaro RS seats, Original dash with 6 dial instrument cluster, functioning switches, heater, radio cassette, wipers etc.. (Even has the original floor mounted washer pump switch & dipped beam light switch. Original nice black carpet & rear seat bench (black cloth). Body: RUST FREE SHELL, No sunroof, all steel panels, Cibie Oscar spot lamps with covers, red painted backs. Some dings & blemishes and was repainted by a previous owner in the original red, however sanding swirl marks are visible through the paint close up. Having spent most of its life in a warmer, dryer climate than that of the UK, the chassis is rust free, however there are small spots of surface rust beginning around the edge of the hood. (see closeup pics). Note: the British license plate on the hood is just a sticker & can be removed. It has been driven well and is by no means a show car, but a good example of an all time classic. I am happy to answer any questions about the car via email, or over the phone if you email with your details. I can assist with delivery by trailer for an extra fee, or will accommodate your own shipping arrangements. On Jan-23-14 at 06:08:24 PST, seller added the following information: The car is currently stored off the ground in a heated garage during our winter blast here in Maryland! It runs and drives fine and all fluids are topped off with a fresh oil change, so its ready to roll out in Spring! |

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio
Thu, 27 Feb 2014
A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.
Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
