It does need a few repairs to make before it will be in perfect driving order. One of them is a worn lower control arm bushing on the drivers side, the heat and sand grit tends to wear on these things, I have replaced the passenger side and have the part for the drivers side waiting to be installed. The reason I didn't install the drivers side is because the transmission developed a problem with 5th gear, when you shift into 5th gear it just freewheels, it spins but is not transferring power through the drive train. I'm not sure if the pin that holds the gears in place sheared or if there is something else wrong. It doesn't make any noises or grind it just doesn't engage the drive. Those are the only problems that exist as far as need to be fixed issues. Of course there are things that could be upgraded as with any car with higher mileage, but that's purely up to the buyer 's preferences and not really causing any real problems.
The car is all stock and has not been raced around or driven hard, I never even got 1 speeding ticket with this car, it was always washed and had the oil changed regularly at 3000 miles. It was used mainly for a car stereo installation which lead to an upgraded alternator and custom panels. The stereo weighed about 300 Lbs with all the extra wires boxes speakers and batteries, which made the car much slower than others. I knew this and drove it as such. I have also replaced the clutch & throw out bearing, radiator, both the MAP & MAF sensors (costly little items), the fuel pump & fuel filter, the drivers side door handle was upgraded to an all metal handle, both door lock motors (pins), Mirror switch in the center counsel, rotors, brakes, smog pump, water pump, fuel injectors, the Top Engine intake was cleaned, new wires plugs and rotor, good belt, new struts, tires are a little bit larger than they should be but they are in decent shape. BF Goodrich 15" 50 series "L" sized, rub on frame in front when the wheel is turned all the way. I have a few spare tires that will go along with, also I have the original Cold Air Intake Box and K&N Filter, it now has an upgraded K&N round filter on it due to not wanting to deal with the stock box.
all of the parts are there and the body is straight & rust free
That's why I held onto it for so long, recently I was laid off from my job of 6 years and found myself faced with making a choice. The Home Owners Association here has already caused a big problem with it and I have been left with no choice since I have no cash to start the build now, I have decided to let it go!
The title has been marked as "STORED" so there will be no problem with the buyer when they decide to register it, no fines or any extra cost. This car has never failed an emissions test ever, not even close!

Ford car-camo artist works his craft on Australia's new Falcon XR8
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Ford is among the kings of concealment when it comes to test cars. On one recent Mustang SVT mule, the automaker went to the extreme of putting baffles over the exhausts to hide how many there were. Sounds like a lot of work, right? In a new video, the Blue Oval has decided to take fans behind the scenes to show them what it takes to camouflage a prototype. In this case the subject was the recently unveiled 2014 Falcon XR8 for Australia.
Ford's prototype build coordinator Down Under has the very appropriate name of Neil Trickey, and it's his job to obfuscate the important bits of test cars to keep them out of spy shooters' camera lenses. Trickey calls his job a "dark art," and he shows off some of the tricks of his trade in the video. It turns out that the fabric we often see on mules is a type of lycra, but his team isn't above getting out a can of spray paint to conceal parts, too.
Scroll down to watch a video about a man who you probably wish could be a little worse at his job.
Reflecting on the Ford GT on its 10-year anniversary
Thu, 10 Apr 2014Ten years ago, during the bright-eyed enthusiasm of the early 2000s and before the collective automotive industry did its best Titanic impression, we had the Ford GT. An everyman's supercar like there'd never been (remember, this was before 638-horsepower Corvettes were a thing), the GT arrived with a supercharged, 5.4-liter V8 that produced 550 horsepower and graced this retro-styled rocket with an easy, sub-four-second sprint to 60 miles per hour.
Equal to the GT's performance were its looks. Inspired by the GT40 racers that dominated Le Mans and bested Ferrari in the 1960s, the sleek, low, almost-reptilian look of the GT was the absolute pinnacle of the retro styling that so defined the early 2000s.
Crank and Piston put together a video celebrating the ten-year-old GT, arguing that Ford is a bit too busy with the next-gen Mustang, which turns 50 next week, to do it themselves. In the short clip, there is gratuitous engine noise and supercharger whine, not to mention scenes of the white-on-red GT prowling the deserts and streets of Dubai. It's a bit short, but very nicely shot. Scroll down, have a look and be sure to turn up those speakers before getting started.
2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Concentrated ST Formula Proves Just As Potent
I'm not the jealous type... usually. But I will fully admit to being somewhat of a Pouty Polly when I read executive editor Chris Paukert's report after driving the then-new 2013 Ford Focus ST through the impossibly pretty southern French Alps region last June. I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but hot hatchbacks hold a special place in my heart. And while I'm always giddy to drive any sort of small, turbocharged three- or five-door at home in Detroit, my jealousy was indeed piqued after hearing Paukert tell about the challenging yet breathtaking roads he encountered while driving the flamin' yellow Focus. You know, the sort of roads that, from above, look like carelessly drizzled lines of icing on the frosted Alpen caps.
Several months later, I found myself piloting a Focus ST just west of metro Detroit, pitting it head-to-head against one of Autoblog's perennial favorite cars, the Volkswagen GTI. It was fantastic - enough so that I fully stand behind my statement that in terms of balls-out performance, the Focus ST cannot be beat as far as today's front-wheel-drive hatches are concerned.
