1988 Ford Country Squire Lx Woody Wagon 5.0 V8 Fuel Injected, 4 Speed Automatic on 2040-cars
Wyckoff, New Jersey, United States
1988 Ford
Country Squire LX Woody Wagon 5.0 V8 Fuel Injected engine, 4 speed automatic
overdrive transmission. This wagon is
from the estate of the 2nd owner who recently passed. The wagon was stored in a garage until a few
years ago. Maintenance records
included! Low mileage, just 78,608! It
was last 2009. In 2004 the wagon had
67,000 miles so it was driven very little the last 10 years. The gas tank was emptied and replaced with
new gas and the car runs great now.
There is a minor exhaust leak but it makes it sound really cool. The valve cover gaskets leak a little after
driving a while. This is from the car
sitting for so long. It’s an easy
repair. The wagon can really benefit
from a complete tune-up and fluid changes but it isn’t necessary right now, it
drives great and always starts right up.
This classic wagon weighs less than 4000 pounds and gets great gas
mileage and has plenty of power, tires will spin if you step on it. Remember this has the Mustang engine so it’s
easy to work on and parts are plentiful.
Looks very retro like wagons from the 60s Country Squires but has all
the modern technology for a dependable cruiser.
Paint is all original and fading in some places. There is minor surface rust on the driver’s
door that can be easily repaired and color matched for very little money. The woodgrain stickers on the side are worn
and faded in spots. The owner had some
decals and reflectors that were removed from the painted surfaces but there is
some residue left behind that is noticeable if you look close. Most of the interior is nice, dash looks great,
no tears in the seats, door panels or headliner. Carpet is original and very nice and clean. The wagon is eligible for classic car
insurance and QQ classic license plates in NJ which means no inspection and can
cost less than $200 per year to insure with zero deductible. Clear
Connecticut title ready to go. Loaded with
options and room for everyone! u

New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
