as a daily driver). Parked every winter, cleanest used car you will ever see,
people still think it's new. 50 year old original owner,
non-smoker. Engine: Marcy cold air intake, Crane Stg 1 (mild) cams, Focus
Sport 89 and 91 octane tunes + stock (comes with SCT tuner to change), Borla
cat-back exhaust, F2 Header w/ high flow metal matrix catalytic converter and
secondary Borla baffle (sounds good NOT loud). Valves adjusted when cams
installed and were re-checked last year, new plugs. This engine does not need
any more maintenance than an otherwise stock engine, nor is the durability any
less. I've been working on motors my whole life (used to build and race
motorcycles) so I know what I'm doing, plus I'm super anal retentive
about maintenance so oil changed every 3-4K with Mobil 1 synthetic oil since
new. Exterior: Full SVT suspension kit (all new Ford parts), 7x17" Ford racing

clean car, has the usual rock chips in hood and a few repaired chips in
windshield from those damn gravel trucks. One small quarter sized dent of top of
right front fender from a cooler that fell off a shelf. The seat covers are
faded on sides but still in good condition (the seats underneath are perfect),
and the floor mat has a small worn heal spot. That's about it, everything else
is perfect. Needs nothing, drives very tight, everything works like new, no
rattles, squeaks, stains, etc. Service manual and all notes included. Stock
parts are also available inc 16" wheels with useable tires (included with buy it now price only). This car is a lot
of fun to drive and out runs SVTs. Clean title. KBB/NADA retail
is $6200 and I have ~ $4K in mods. Local pickup only. Happy bidding. |

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
Ford Explorer Jackson Pollock Edition results in trip to hospital
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Among the many useful pieces of driving advice we've taken to heart over the years, "Safely secure all cargo" is etched pretty high on our personal stone tablets. We've had a couple of frustrating moments over the years (numerous wonky cupholders and too-tall lidded cups; a radar detector that released its suction cups and dashed itself below the dashboard, etc.), but never anything like the scene above.
These photos above come courtesy of the Washington State Patrol, and they show the unfortunate aftermath of a driver, his dog, and his Ford Explorer after it crashed near the town of Belfair last week. According to reports, the man was schlepping five-gallon containers of paint inside his vehicle when he was involved in an unexplained accident. It's not clear what triggered the crash, but the impromptu abstract painting covered the whole of the interior, including the driver and his faithful companion.
The man was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries, and his dog was cleaned and later taken to a humane society.
Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
