1998 Ford Taurus. Deluxe Se Model. Leather Seats & Interior. 100% Reliable on 2040-cars
Fairfield, Pennsylvania, United States
1998 Ford Taurus SE 4-door sedan. Deep metalic red exterior with gray leather seats and interior. Climate control A/C: just set the digital dial to your temperature preference. Deluxe wheels. Owners/drivers are non-smokers . Very clean interior. Rarely driven on snowy or salty roads [NOTE: at the time this ad was placed, eBay had a problem with their picture-loading software: it loaded the seller's photos in an unpredictable, random sequence, and then blocked the seller from re-sequencing the photos into their correct sequence. I'll get them into logical order when the software problem is solved.] Background. We bought this Taurus for my wife over 10 years ago. Now, because of surgery and mobiity problems [we are 76 years old], it is too low and sleek for her to enter / exit easily so we have acquired a taller vehicle for her. Original owner was a salesman, and the car had about 130,000 miles on it when we bought it. He indicated that the transmission developed problems just before sale to us, and Ford installed a complete new transmission. During our 10-year ownership, the transmission has worked flawlessly. The car has 256K miles, but they were easy miles -- rarely any passengers and rarely driven over 60 MPH. Reliability. It has been 100% reliable for us. Condition. In my judgment, it's in very good condition for its age. Has a new Pennsylvania safety inspection. Tires in excellent condition. Known problems: [1] tape deck does not work [never tried to diagnose/repair it]; [2] minor oil leak at the engine-to-transmission connection that drops 1~2 drops per day; and [3] an A/C hose leaks, but genuine Ford hoses are available in $120 range from Rock Auto. About 5 years ago, I replaced many of steering components: PS pump, rack and pinion, inner and outer tie rods, etc.

Ford brings FPV Falcon production in house [w/video]
Thu, 21 Feb 2013For the first time since 1976, Ford of Australia is bringing the assembly of its stonking Ford Performance Vehicle line back in-house to the company's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. That's a point of pride for FPV, which builds high-performance versions of the Australian Falcon model like the F6, GS and the heroic GT seen here.
In the video below, we hear FPV employees talking in hushed tones about the important legacy that cars like the GT have for Australian gearheads of all stripes, and how proud they are to say that hand-built machines like this GT R-Spec with its Boss 355 engine are now rolling out of their home base. For our part, we're just dying to drive this version of the Coyote V8; the engine is rocking a "Miami" supercharger from Harrop and makes some 450 horsepower.
Continue on below for the video, or you can check out some images of the new FPV at the facility, as well as a gallery of the GT R-Spec car.
How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]
Fri, 28 Feb 2014Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.
Bill Ford wins National Pond Hockey Championship with employees
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Who says executives aren't people? This past weekend, Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, and a group of employees trekked up to Eagle River, WI for a few games of pond hockey. Team Ford took part in the 2014 Labatt Blue/USA Pond Hockey Championship, capturing its fifth title in the 50+ Tier 1 Division.
"It feels great to win," Ford, who plays on the team alongside other Ford employees, told the USA Hockey website. "It was fun to play [River Valley Pioneers] because they're great guys and we play them every year. We finally beat them, which we were due. It was a very clean game, a tough game."
The FoMoCo team managed to score seven goals to River Valley's two, and went undefeated in all five of its games during the tourney. Take a look below for the official press release on Team Ford's win.
