 This is my 2004 Ford Freestar SEL with 112,700 mile on it. The exterior is Arizona Beige Metallic and the interior has Pebble cloth seating. The car is running great and it's been a very reliable vehicle. With the 4.2 engine it has lots of power if you want to tow, carry heavy loads or quick entry onto highways. Upgraded features are a Pioneer AVIC F-700BT in-dash Audio, hands-free Phone, backup camera, and Navigation system, a heavy duty Class 3 hitch. The backup camera is brand new. The Pioneer also has a mini phone jack input on front. and RCA jack for audio/video in back. External seat back displays, can be added. The Pioneer plays DVDs/CD etc and has a memory card slot for additional media playing. There is a keyless entry pad on the drivers door and I have two keys and remotes.
The hitch was installed new but never used to tow anything. It is rated for 3500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. It was only used for a hitch bike rack. The two center sliding doors are motor powered and automatically open/close with a button or the key remote. There is a backup sensor alarm. and it has a low tire pressure warning system.  All tire are good and worn evenly, it has roof racks that are great for canoe/kayak carrying.  I took it to the FORD dealer three weeks ago and they installed a new transmission torque converter and rear seat bracket latches under a recall. I have generally serviced and maintain my own vehicles and important service performed is 5/14, new passenger window motor, 6/13/13 fuel filter and new coil pack, new driver rear brake caliper, new front and rear brake pads, bleed all brake lines and new brake fluid, new air filter, injectors cleaned, 9/15/12 new passenger rear brake caliper. 12/10/11 93,792 miles complete tune up, plugs, wires and 5/11 new serpentine belt, new power steering pump,, new idler pulley, new camshaft syncronizer, and 7/30/11 new rear wheel hubs and speed sensors replaced.  A new battery was installed last month. Routine oil, filters, transmission maintenance service has been done. Overall this Freestar has needed minimal service.
I'm also including a free new set of front wheel hubs and sensors that I did not get around to installing. The front hubs are fine, but since I already changed the rears, I wanted to also do the fronts. Any car mechanic can easily install them for you if needed.

The Freestar was used mostly by me in my medical equipment service business. My wife drove it for the last couple of years. We don't have young kids or animals, so the inside and seats are in good shape, very clean. The rear seat folds into a rear recess and the two captains chairs fold forward or completely remove making a lot of cargo space with a flat floor. The Pioneer in-dash navigation/phone and audio sounds great and a microphone is mounted on top of the steering wheel column for easy to use, clear voice hands-free phone through Bluetooth.

Other than average use wear, the more obvious things to point out are the plastic pull handle on the rear seat is broken, The front two 12 volt power receptacles don't work and are broken inside. Replacement receptacles can be found on-line for about $10. and the center bottom base where they are mounted comes out with a couple of screws. I had an IPHONE years ago and a cable is routed to the top dash but I don't know if this cable works any more as I have not had an IPHONE for about five years. If needed,  this cable is $30.  There are a couple of rust spot areas as shown in the photos. I was going to grind, patch and repaint these areas but just don't have the time to do it, there is a crack in the lower driver side bumper/fog light. there is a barely visible dent in the driver side fender, which I hand pushed back out and is pretty close (no pain damage).  There is a 1/2" rock ding in the windshield. It's been there for five years and has not extended further. There is a long scratch on the passanger side door plastic moulding. There is some flaking of the clearcoat paint topcoat on the top of one of the sliding doors. Recently a trac off lamp lights intermittently, I search on-line and the problem is related to some loose or oxidized connectors , I cleaned these and it seems to have stopped but, if needed, the other solution is a replacing a $30. pressure sensor. I think I got everything but there could be others but I do try to be as honest as I can.

This would be a great/reliable vehicle for a small business or a great family van. It's been a great vehicle for us.

Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.

Ford Fiesta ST GRC Racecar is hungry for podiums in 2013

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

As we reported earlier, the Chicago showing of this plucky Ford Fiesta ST GRC racer points to bigger and brighter days for Global RallyCross. For the upcoming season, you can expect to see Ken Block and Tanner Foust both driving the Ford racecar, and if last season's results are any indication, you can anticipate quite a few podium appearances, as well.
The Fiesta seen here was built by the Swedes at OlsbergsMSE, and will be driven in anger by Foust in 2013. Modifications are, as you'd expect, extensive, and include an engine, exhaust and braking upgrades, a racing style short-throw shifter and a limited-slip differential. As you can see, the car has been fully stripped out and caged for maximum speed and safety, too.
Refresh your memories with the details of the car, in the press releases below. And if you head out to the Chicago Auto Show this year, don't forget to drop by the Ford stand to have a look.

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.
