 This is a 1998 Ford Explorer. This car is not perfect, but it is in Excellent condition for it's age and mileage. This Car has some quirks, and I will try to list them in a separate paragraph below.
  As you can see from the looks this car has been very well taken care of. The body is in Excellent condition for it's age, as well as the wheels and tires. The wheels have been kept clean for 200,000 miles and have no pitting in the aluminium. The doors are solid, the rear fenders are clean , inside and out. Most Ford explorers rot from inside the fenders from water that gets in from the wheels. I have preserved these fenders, and have included pictures of them from inside the hatch with the panels removed. The engine runs, and starts good. There are no leaks of any kind. The engine oil stays so clean that it is hard to read the dipstick even after all the miles.  I am selling this car, because my registration runs out in February, and I am not interested in renewing it for another 2 years.  I am listing this as a NO RESERVE auction with a very low starting bid. I am doing this because I know this car will bring what it is worth. I am selling it AS-IS. It is a good reliable 200,000 + miles vehicle.
    Here are some of the quirks, The timing chain is noisy. The antilock brakes pulsate when the vehicle comes to a stop. There is some rust on the rocker panels. There is also some clearcoat fade on the hood. The check engine light comes and goes because of a failing catalytic converter. The converter also rattles because something has come loose inside. I Have had this problem for the past 6 years and have been able to get the car inspected by disconnecting  and reconnecting the battery and taking it for a 50 mile drive before the inspection.
   This car is currently on the road, I wouldn't be afraid to drive this anywhere.

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.
