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.

Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.
Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
This 1969 Ford F-100 has a Cadillac CTS-V engine lurking underhood
Fri, Jan 30 2015Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.
