This 1987 ford Taurus gl was driven  by my Mother inlaw untll about 3 weeks ago

she would drive this vehical to relatives over 70 miles one way on many occasions.

Her aunt bought  this new in 87 for over $14000 we have all the papers and then gave it to her

so she could drive to relatives and help out a couple times a month. My brother inlaw passed away so she no longer needs it because she doesn't drive anymore. I will tell you the things I know are wrong and if I do not get any interest they might

get it inspected and sell later. Ok my brother inlaw put a clamp on the drivers side door handle it works but can be easily fixed

right. The hood cover is in really bat shape and if I wanted a cheap vehical I would scrape it off and paint it I have

done that in the past. Paint job is faded  and needs battery. The inside is in pretty good shape it was dirty they

will clean it the best they can it really isn't tore up nice comfortable seats There are two rust spots I noticed on body they are

in pics. tires are pretty good need hub caps . I drove it for about 20 miles I would say it ran good motor sounded good, transmission

shifted fine, ac need some Freon, am/fm radio.Being a 1987 you have two choices you can get inspected or put historic tags

on it and it needs no inspection and tags are cheap either way it will never need emissions insp. I drove it from the house to my Brothers service center to make it easier on the family so you can get tags there and get inspected if that's what you want. If you put

historic tags on it you pay and go no inspection needed if your from MD. Here is a cheap vehical very rare being a 2 owner

with only 62000 miles 3.0 engine easy on gas even if you would put a paint job on it you would still have a cheap car

with low miles.Please don't ask if I think it will make it here or there I am not a expert all I know is she trusted to drive it

anywhere. NOW PLEASE READ VEHICAL MUST BE PAID IN FULL THROUGH PAYPAL BEFORE PICK UP NO EXCEPTIONS

YOU WILL HAVE 3 DAY'S TO PAY IN FULL AND THEN WE WILL SET UP A TIME THAT YOU CAN PICK UP

I AM VERY BUSY SO I WILL HAVE SOMEONE THERE OR YOU CAN GET TAGS THERE AND DRIVE.

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
