This is our beloved “Mothership” - FIRST AND FOREMOST  I have bought and sold many cars on eBay and one thing is paramount FULL DISCLOSURE so here you go, this is the story of The Mothership


I am the original owner, purchased this from Varsity Ford in Ann Arbor, MI in Feb. of 2001.  She left the lot with 20 miles on her and she will come to you with over 328,000 miles of experience and adventures.  Her favorite place on earth is the U.P. in Michigan, if you’ve never been there, just point her north, set the cruise and enjoy the ride, she knows the way.  She has also taken us to FL, AL, KY, OH, IL,& WI.


We are a family of 5 (six including Fritz our German Shepard) and this truck is a part of our family, but the time has come to part ways.  My oldest son was 4 almost 5 when I bought this and he’ll be graduating High School this coming year.


For the last 2 years, we have only driven her on family vacations every Thanksgiving & Christmas we spend in the UP (750 miiles round trip).  When we all travel together, we all PREFER to take the Mothership vs. our new cars, but we can no longer justify the cost of multiple vehicles.  The decision to offer her to a new owner has only taken us 2 years to make :-)


She has ZERO mechanical issues.  She does has some cosmetic issues and I will detail everything below.  This is a 12 year old vehicle so expect to see the typical signs of use and wear.  


I did not invest in the industrial size bottle of armor all to make the pics look shiny and fake.  For those of you looking for a great deal on Ford’s awesome 7.3L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel you’ll find it in the Mothership


Here is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly... this is the stuff I would want to know if I was going to bid.  


The technical stuff (features and options) will come from Kelley Blue Book.


THE GOOD

  • She has Ford’s bullet-proof “Million Mile Motor” 7.3L Turbo Diesel runs a smooth and strong as she did when new

  • Oil Changes & Reg Maintenance all done on schedule.

  • A/C is cold Heat works great

  • New Jasper Transmission installed at approx 285,000 miles

  • Front Hubs replaced with WARN (lifetime warranty) locking hubs

  • Shocks are Monroe (Lifetime warranty)

  • Brake Pads (lifetime warranty)

  • ALL fuel injectors & Glow Plugs were just replaced

  • Luke at L&A Auto in Jackson, MI (highly recommend him) has been taking care of The Mothership since she was just a pup.  All records are available for the serious bidders

  • New (lifetime warranty) Alternator just installed this Spring, apparently Ford only builds these to last 326,000 miles - go figure :-)

  • New serpentine belt installed last winter

  • New adjuster pulley installed same time as the belt

  • New Fuel Filter just installed these were typically replaced every 5-10k miles

  • Rear climate controls and radio controls all work perfectly

  • No Accidents

  • NO AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE KITS EVER USED ON THIS TRUCK


THE BAD

  • Passenger blinker lens broken - see pictures

  • She will need new tires within the next 3000 miles

  • Rear window will not stay up on it’s own in the cold weather hydraulic arms should probably be replaced

  • Driver side door speaker seems to have stopped working - all the rest are fine

  • The Rear driver side hinged window, the one by the spare tire, the hinge is broken, the motor to open it works fine, but there is a pin that holds the hinge together and it is broken... never been a problem for us because the spare tire is there anyway and Fritz likes the other window open to get his smells along the way

  • There was some body work done on the driver side rear pillar, someone backed into it while is was in a parking lot.  Local body shop did the repairs, no structural damage.

  • The driver side back dutch door was replaced, I put a hole in the original door backing up to the trailer (oops) again, no structural damage.  New door, some paint, she was good to go.

  • Pull down DVD screen with wireless headphones we are working on troubleshooting this, but during the last use (school field trip) we can't seem to get the DVD out of the machine... so there may be a bonus DVD of The Incredible's included if we can't figure out what's wrong.


THE UGLY

  • Various scratches, Stains see pictures, I did my best to show you the most obvious ones, nothing outside what you would expect for a 12 year old vehicle that has “raised 3 kids” and been the go-to vehicle for every school field trip.

  • Chip in the windshield right below mirror mount - see pics

  • Passenger mirror had to be “frozen in place” with silicone.  The brackets that hold the mirror in place broke a couple winters ago while we were scraping the mirror and I just haven’t felt like paying the $500 Ford wants for a new mirror assembly.  The heated part of the mirror still works fine

  • The back support bracket for the running board on the driver side has rusted out and needs some support.

  • Driver side just behind the passenger door there is a dent and scratch from a blue post office box (turned too sharp too soon)


I think this is everything, feel free to email, we will do our best to reply asap.  My BUY IT NOW is below the Kelly Blue Book info listed below.

  • FROM KELLEY BLUE BOOK - Estimated Blue Book and Features

    • Excellent $12,282

    • Very Good $11,932

    • Good $11,732

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang to cost $52,995?

Mon, Dec 1 2014

The 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang was one of the shining stars of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. And the Blue Oval's latest muscle car might even have reason to burn a little brighter if a recent rumor about its price proves true. Best of all are rumors that an even more potent version of the Shelby is potentially on the way. According to Horsepower Kings citing unnamed Ford sources at the LA Auto Show, the 2015 GT350 carries a starting price of $52,995, and the Tech package adds a further $2,995 on top of that. There's also the claim of a Track package for an undisclosed price. However, it doesn't look like LA is the last we'll see of the newest Shelby because the source also alleges that a top-rung GT350R is under development with bigger brakes, modified aerodynamics and sportier tires. This rubber-burner is reported to be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. Assuming these claims are correct, it puts the Shelby in fighting form against its two Chevrolet Camaro rivals. Ford reports that the GT350's 5.2-liter V8 pumps out over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. At $52,995, it would undercut by a couple of grand the $55,505 (before destination) base price of the 580-hp 2015 ZL1. The super 'Stang might also beat the 505-hp Z/28 with its power rating, while being vastly cheaper than the track-focused Camaro's $72,305 price. This could be quite the performance shoot-out.

2015 Ford Focus Electric hides in plain sight

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

The styling changes to the 2015 Ford Focus were shown off at the recent Geneva Motor Show, so what the EV version looks like is not that much of a surprise. Still, the 2015 Focus Electric is making its world debut here at the New York Auto Show, so we wanted to know what changes we are looking at compared to both the internal combustion engine version and the earlier EV models.
The exterior visual distinctions between the ICE and EV are minimal, and basically nonexistent from the A-pillar to the rear. Up front, you can see the charge port, of course, but the front fascia has also undergone a bit of an adjustment. The front doesn't have the ICE version's flattened grille and the EV's Ford logo creates a bump in the hood line where none exists on the ICE. The 2015's grille is also different than the one on the 2014 Focus Electric, being slightly smaller (you can see this better if you compare pictures in our new gallery above to these of the 2011 Focus Electric and these of the gas-powered 2015 Focus).
The updated 2015 interior - which we couldn't access ourselves - has things like a new center stack, improved cupholders and is basically identical between the gas and electric models. With the car off, you can't even tell if you're in an EV or ICE, Seema Bardwaj, the US brand manager for the Focus, told AutoblogGreen. The only things that are different, she said, are extra menu screens to show EV powertrain information to the driver.

Weekly Recap: Toyota, Mazda team up to 'make cars better'

Sat, May 16 2015

Toyota and Mazda are teaming for a noble purpose: to "make cars better." That's how the two Japanese automakers termed their partnership, which was announced this week. So what does this actually mean? The companies said they will set up a joint committee to look for areas of cooperation and named safety and the environment as issues they plan to tackle. From a product perspective, it's believed that Toyota is interested in Mazda's Skyactive engine portfolio. In turn, Mazda has its eye on Toyota's fuel-cell and plug-in hybrid technology. While more specifics were not confirmed, the companies said the "agreement will go beyond the traditional framework of cooperation," and it has the potential to be a long-range partnership. "The main purpose of this initiative is to enhance the appeal of our cars," Toyota president Akio Toyoda said at the announcement. Previously, Mazda has licensed Toyota's hybrid tech and assembled compact cars for Toyota in Mexico. Akio Toyoda said these projects "triggered" the automakers to explore further collaboration. Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager for AutoPacific, said the tie-up echoes Daimler's wide-ranging work with the Renault-Nissan alliance. "This could be a well-groomed match due to each having very unique skill sets," he said. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Volvo selects South Carolina for US factory Volvo confirmed this week that it will build its first US factory in South Carolina, with construction set to begin this fall. The company first revealed plans in March, though it didn't announce a site. The plant will have initial annual production of 100,000 units, though the vehicle or vehicles to be assembled were not specified. The factory, located near Charleston, will open in 2018 and ultimately employ 4,000 people. The facility will help Volvo continue its growth strategy, which includes strengthening its presence in the US market, where it wants to sell more than 100,000 cars per year. "Building a plant in the US is a reflection of Volvo Cars' commitment to the US and the key role the US plays in our growth objectives," Lex Kerssemakers, senior vice president, Americas, said in a statement. Ford GT spied on the road The 2017 Ford GT was spotted testing around the Blue Oval's headquarters in Dearborn, MI, this week. The raw body panels were exposed, and they lacked paint or camouflage. It's the first time the GT has been captured on the street after a spring of auto show reveals.
