1993 Ford Escort Station Wagon 1.9l on 2040-cars
Lake Charles, Louisiana, United States
|
1993 Ford Escort spent the last two years sitting up. Was started from time to time. Few days ago I put a new battery and started driving it around. Recently started making a weird whining noise hard to explain I believe its coming from the transmission but not sure. I plan to continue driving it as well as have a mechanic look it over while this auction is up and will update if anything changes. Heater works. A/C worked just seemed to take a little longer than I remember to get cold. Vehicle can be used for parts or an everyday vehicle if given a little tender care. Previous owner said it did not have power steering but a mechanic once told me it does have a power steering pump that is not working. I have never bothered looking further into it since it has never been hard to steer. I have listed a reserve simply to avoid it selling for $5.00 or something to that effect. Other than that not looking for a particular price just want to get rid of it before it goes to waste. I am not experienced in mechanics or selling a vehicle so any further information needed please send me an e-mail with any info you would like to know that I have not mentioned.
On Jan-17-14 at 07:46:39 PST, seller added the following information: Just got the car back from the mechanic shop. Mechanic said he drove it longer and further than I have and said he believes the noise is in fact coming from the transmission and he did notice rough shifting and a few slips. But couldn't tell me more since he doesn't work on transmissions just motors. He also said there was some hesitation here and there from the motor that can be easily fixed with a full tune up and some injector cleaner. The car does have power steering which he says worked fine after putting fluid in it but leaked all out of the high pressure line. I priced the line at O'Reilly's for $25. I will buy one and leave in the back seat upon the vehicle selling. On Jan-20-14 at 16:43:06 PST, seller added the following information: Brought it back to the shop today cause it started running horrible. Same mechanic looked at it and said its the same issues with needing a tune up injector cleaner ran through it and so on for sitting up so long. He said no damage has been done from me driving it. Only a day left in the auction so I'm just gonna park it in the mean time. ----------------------------------------------------------- Left up same description from first auction. |

2015 Ford Mustang stars in bizarrely awesome '80s aerobics video
Wed, 30 Apr 2014For reasons we can't comprehend, here's a music video starring the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang and a number of dancers dressed and styled in the most stereotypically 1980s way possible. The dancers then take part in a male-versus-female dance off. Again, we've no idea why it exists.
It's weird, and for the second time in two weeks, we're sat at our computer wondering, "What are we watching?" That said, it does show the new Mustang from a number of angles, and it's one of the first car-related YouTube videos we've seen that's available in a 4K, ultra-high-def stream.
Take a look below, and let us know what you think in Comments.
Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150
Wed, 09 Apr 2014The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.
J Mays' legacy
Fri, 15 Nov 2013
Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".
