This 2001 Ford Taurus SEL was acquired by a mechanic as a part of a trade for services rendered on the previous owners SUV. A thorough inspection revealed the SEL was extremely sound mechanically with a beautifully maintained interior.
Manufactured by Ford in April of 2001, this car was purchased buy the sole owner in May of 2001 and driven an average of less than 8,500 miles per year. The interior leather and appointments are in excellent condition, reflecting relatively light use over the past 12 years. The SEL trim level was the top of the line for the Taurus in 01, offering a plethora of standard features. In addition, this Taurus was equipped with a few additional options, including traction control, Mach premium sound system with a 6 disc trunk mounted changer, power adjustable pedals, power glass sliding moon roof, and side impact air bags. EVERYTHING on this vehicle is in full working order. When tested, the automatic climate control system produced 43 degree max A/C with an outside ambient temperature of 66 degrees.
The Duratec 3.0L 24 Valve V-6 is a strong runner, producing 200 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque, with an EPA estimated fuel economy rating of 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. Inspection of the spark plugs showed gaps between .053" and .055", falling within the factory specs of .052" and .056". All fluids are appropriate in appearance and at proper levels, and the one year old Interstate battery is in good shape.
The undercarriage is clean and relatively rust free. Front pads and rotors are also in good shape with approximately 90% life remaining, and the rear drums are in good working order.
The set of 215/60/R16 Continental ContiPro Contact tires are all in good condition and have an average of 10/32" tread depth remaining.
The exterior of the Taurus cleans up well, but is showing some age in a couple of areas. Other than minor dings and scratches, there is a rust spot forming over the left rear wheel arch, and both front and rear bumpers have a few cracks. The alloy wheels remain bright with only the slightest bit of corrosion around the edges.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
Ford announces 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Ford has pulled the wraps off its anticipated 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition model, a new variant of the popular street-legal off-road specialist. In a nutshell, the "special" is all cosmetic - there are no mechanical upgrades to the truck and its 6.2-liter V8 (411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque), Torsen limited-slip differential, beadlock-capable wheels and internal triple-bypass FOX Racing Shox dampers all remain untouched.
The SVT Raptor Special Edition, which adds cosmetic enhancements to the existing Luxury Package, will be offered in Ruby Red Metallic and Tuxedo Black Metallic with box-side graphics. The interior upgrades include Brick Red seat bolsters (with black inserts), cloth honeycomb highlights and a console top finish panel.
As of now, Ford has only release a couple pictures of the Special Edition model. But check back later, as we will update the gallery when additional high-res images are released later today, and be sure to peruse the press release below for all the details.
Ford starting up 2.0L EcoBoost engine production in Ohio
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of The Americas (pictured above), announced today that in late 2014, the automaker will be building the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder at its Cleveland Engine Plant, a move requiring a $200-million investment and the hiring of 450 new employees. European-built Ford products will continue to source this engine from the Valencia, Spain plant where all of these EcoBoost four-cylinder engines are currently built, and the new Cleveland engines will be used for all North American-made models.
Ford is planning to build its popular EcoBoost engines regionally to maximize production capacity and meet customer demand. Last year, Ford sold 334,364 vehicles with EcoBoost engines in the US alone, and that number is expected to swell to more than 500,000 by the end of this year, with global sales expected to total 1.6 million. By 2015, Ford says that 95 percent of its nameplates will offer an EcoBoost engine.
One such vehicle that could be adding an EcoBoost engine, according to Automotive News, is none other than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The report says that Ford could use either the 2.0-liter EcoBoost or an upcoming 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the sixth-generation pony car.
