For your consideration is our 2002 ford Taurus lx.  I picked this up for my oldest son at a state of Connecticut surplus auction 4 or 5 years ago.  The state of CT maintained the car very well but it did come with numerous exterior dings and dents that you will see in the pictures.  The nicks never bothered us as we just wanted a safe, reliable, efficient vehicle for our boy.  This car has been very dependable for us and will make a great car for its new owner.     

I've spared no expense maintaining this car.  It has four newer matching tires with 75% or more tread. I've been good about changing the oil end fluids on time using premium oil.  It has new rotors and brake pads all the way around and stops on a dime.  We recently replaced the starter, charged the air conditioning system, and did a complete service with new oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and windshield wipers.  The car runs as good or better than new with no leaks, vibrations, noises, or rattles. 

The interior is very clean and never smoked in.  Other than the state supplied nicks on the outside, you'd never know the car is 10 years old.  It comes with a nice pioneer stereo system that will link to your ipod or mp3 player.  We always know when he's pulling in the driveway because the stereo thump precedes him.

The car is surprisingly good on gas for a mid size sedan.. I think he gets high 20's on the highway and low/mid 20's around town.  The front wheel drive and good all season tires make this car amazing in bad weather. 

As for the negatives, there really is nothing to mention other than the exterior dents and scratches.  There's virtually no rust or mechanical issues to mention. Bid confidently knowing you're getting a safe, dependable, well maintained vehicle.  The winning bidder can pick this up and drive it across country with no worries.

This is a no reserve auction. Cash at pickup is strongly preferred though paypal is ok if you must. Please plan to conclude this transaction within 7 days of auction close.

Ford recalling nearly 5,700 2014 F-150s for power steering issue

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Ford is recalling 5,675 of its 2014 F-150 pickups over an issue with the electric power steering system. There haven't been any injuries or accidents due to the issue.
Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Autoblog that the "electric power-assisted steering and motor position sensor gear were incorrectly installed by a supplier," leading to the recall.
While the recall is larger on the surface, it's important to note that only 260 trucks have been delivered to customers. The remaining pickups are currently en route to dealers. The affected vehicles were manufactured between May 26 and June 19.

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.

Ford F-150 King Ranch celebrates 'history and authenticity' for 2015 [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

What's life like on an authentic Texas ranch? We honestly have no idea, having never lived on such a ranch, but we imagine it requires lots of hard work, grit and determination to keep all 825,000 acres - that's larger than the state of Rhode Island - of the King Ranch in Texas under control. Indeed, a total of 350 vehicles, all of which come from Ford, we're told, are currently in use by the ranch. No wonder, then, that the collaboration between Ford and King Ranch has lasted for 15 successful years.
For 2015, in celebration of that 15th anniversary, Ford is debuting three new King Ranch models today at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The most significant is the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, which, naturally, will add unique interior and exterior bits and pieces to the new aluminum-intensive F-Series pickup. Color choices will consist of Caribou, Bronze Fire, Guard and Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, with a range of two-tones to go along with a monochromatic scheme in Caribou. Inside, a bespoke King Ranch interior will be swathed in Premium Mesa Brown leather.
Joining the F-150 King Ranch on dealership floors later this year will be 2015 King Ranch editions of the Super Duty pickup and Expedition fullsize SUV, all of which will offer similar levels of content. Scroll down for more details and two videos from Ford, and be sure to check out the high-res image gallery above, which was shot by the official State Photographer of Texas, Wyman Meinzer.
