FORD ESCORT "ZX2" - 2002 -

CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT. RESPONSIVE WITH POWER. GOOD ECONOMICAL 4 CYL ENGINE. AUTOMATIC. GOOD TRANSMISSION AND DRIVETRAIN. SUPER COLD AC; NO FREON LEAKS. TIRES ABOUT 80%. BRAKES GOOD. NEW BATTERY, NEW FUEL FILTER. CAR DOES NOT LEAK ANY FLUIDS TO THE GROUND. CLEAN INTERIOR WITH DECENT LOOKING CLOTH SEATS. NON SMOKER. 145K MILES. BODY & PAINT IS IN GOOD SHAPE, NO RUST OR FADING PAINT. THERE ARE A FEW SCRATCHES THAT HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP. ALSO THERE ARE A FEW DENTS ON THE DOOR PANELS. OTHERWISE GOOD BODY.

I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR THE PAST 3 YRS. THE CAR DRIVES GOOD. RECENTLY, I HAD AN ISSUE WHERE IT WOULD TURN OFF WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP OCCASIONALLY, BUT ALWAYS STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. I TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR MECHANIC CENTER WHERE THEY ATTEMPTED TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE (RECEIPTS AVAIL), AND RECOMMENDED A FUEL FILTER CHANGE AS WELL AS THROTTLE BODY CLEANED, WHICH I DID. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DO THIS. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK THE 2ND TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT UNTIL THIS HAPPENED MORE FREQUENTLY. THERE IS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE AND SOMETHING ABOUT ENGINE TIMING, SPITTING OUT JUST 1 CODE (I'VE HAD THIS LIGHT ON FOR THE DURATION OF OWNING THIS CAR AND HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE).

I ENDED UP GETTING A NEW CAR BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO CHASE A GHOST. THIS CAR IS A GREAT CAR, AND WILL MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY IF THEY KNOW HOW TO WORK ON THEM. THIS ISSUE MIGHT BE AN IDLE VALVE; WOULD BE MY SECOND GUESS. I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DEAL WITH IT SINCE IT'S INTERMITTENT AND THE MECHANIC DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS EITHER.

CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS, NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. FEEL FREE TO COME BY APPT AND SEE IT.

THANKS FOR VIEWING. FOR ALL FEATURES SEE ABOVE.

Timing belt and tuneup done at 120k miles.

Introducing the 1965 Ford Mustang

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

Put on your space suits and diving bell helmets, for it's time to step into a time capsule. The 50th anniversary of a historic model, like, say, the Porsche 911 this year, is certain to bring flights of nostalgia. This historical trip with the 1965 Mustang, though - preliminary hype for next year's anniversary, we know - is a swell museum exhibit for anyone who enjoys bygone days of the automobile.
Lee Iaccoca gave a speech to motoring journalists on April 1, 1964 at the New York World's Fair to introduce a sporty car for younger drivers. His opening line: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to one of the proudest moments of our lives." The company was so excited by what it had made that the Mustang was Ford's first "International Press Introduction," being introduced to some 2,000 journos around the world on the same day in the US and 11 European cities. Even through its difficult points, no one at the time could have known how well the Mustang would acquit that pride.
After the intro, the press drove Mustangs 750 miles from New York to Dearborn, MI, reading press kits that touted features like the "vertical, three-sectional taillights/turn signals," "170" six-cylinder engine with 101 horsepower and the available Cruise-O-Matic transmission.

The big dune jump and the damage done

Mon, 20 May 2013

The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.

First 500 European Ford Mustangs reserved in 30 seconds [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

We're pretty sure that any initial concerns Ford had about selling the redesigned Mustang in Europe have been lessened considerably, after the first 500 Euro-spec 2015 Mustangs were been reserved in just 30 seconds. Moreover, 9,300 people attempted to snag one of the coveted orders for the all-new muscle car. Yes, Mustang, you should do quite well across the pond.
The registration event was held during the UEFA (pronounced yu-eh-fa) Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
"We knew there was huge excitement building for the new Ford Mustang coming to Europe, but the response during the UCL Final was overwhelming," said Roelant de Waard, VP of marketing, sales and service for Ford's European outfit. "It was a truly special way to kick off the Ford Mustang era in Europe."
