I needed a truck. Bought one. Now I need to sell my car. This has been my daily for the last 2 1/2 years. The car has been maintained to a high standard and as proven to be extremely reliable. The undercarriage is quite rust-free, the rear quarters being the only area of rust-through. I removed the entire front end and painted/coated the entire area when I bought the car. I also replaced the entire brake system, radiator, heater core and repaired any item that was not functioning to factory standard. All fluids were changed within a week of purchase.

Factory options include the 170 cid Six, Ford-O-Matic, heater, electric wipers with washers and Deluxe package.

The interior remains largely as bought, and is complete, with the addition of carpet, sound deadening, and a modern stereo (hidden in the glovebox) with 4 speakers. No original panels were cut. The front seat is covered, due to deterioration. The rear seat has a rip on the upper bolster, left side. The headliner came part at the rear, and is therefore 1/3 missing. The trunk is solid, still retains the original mat, though it is not perfect, and quite hard, actually, yet it IS there. The spare tire and tools are present and properly restrained. There are 8 tires with the car, 4 highway tires and four snow tires. only five rims, however.

The car is still in use, and I use it for the long-distance runs I make to Princeton occasionally (200 miles round trip). It runs perfectly, stops straight and true, is in alignment, and has remained very, very reliable. The 170 is quite peppy, the automatic no handicap, and highway speeds are no problem (I do stay near the speed limit [65 or 70], don't need tickets).

To sum up, I believe this is a very drivable car, with the usual cosmetic issues of an older car. However, this particular one has fair low miles (67,xxx) and has been cared-for it's entire existence. I would rate the car 'good', yet my "good" may not be your 'good'. It is recommended that you inspect the car prior to purchase.

If you are wondering if the car is capable of long-distance travel, the answer is Yes. I will not, however, deliver the car. Payment is expected at the close of auction, or very near after. Storage for any longer than a week may prove problematical, as they are preparing to tear-up my street.

Thank you.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.

Ford's first PHEV in Europe could be C-Max

Fri, Oct 17 2014

Ford could start selling a plug-in hybrid in Europe pretty soon, according to at least one of its executives. Whether it's willing to do so is another story. But if the market perks up, so will the company. The automaker can "quickly" develop a plug-in hybrid version of its Mondeo, the sister car to the Ford Fusion, Automotive News Europe says, citing Ford executive Uli Koesters. The subject of Ford selling plug-in hybrids in Europe is more vital than ever since Volkswagen recently started selling its first PHEV (a Golf) there. VW will also debut a Passat PHEV next year. Koesters was less certain about whether there was sufficient European demand to warrant a production PHEV from Ford. Europe's biggest-selling plug-in hybrid through the first half of the year was the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. That model, according to JATO Dynamics, moved almost 9,000 units through June. Toyota sold almost 4,300 Prius Plug-in Hybrids in Europe during that time period. And we can't be sure Ford's first European PHEV will be the Modeo/Fusion, either. In fact, Ford's first plug-in hybrid for Europe is more likely to be the C-Max, John Gardiner, a Ford spokesman in Europe, told AutoblogGreen. He would only say that it would be sold "in selected markets soon," without being more specific. Ford's two PHEVs in the US have been selling well this year. Through September, sales of the Fusion Energi PHEV almost tripled to 9,323 units, while Ford C-Max Energi PHEV sales were up 51 percent to 6,486 units.

2021 Ford Raptor vs Ram TRX Specs Compared

Tue, Aug 31 2021

Hopefully by now you've had a chance to read our thorough 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor review. If not, check it out, 'cause you'll find a lot more detail and expertise than normal (for Autoblog or anywhere) thanks to Dan Edmunds' vast engineering and off-roading background. If you want all the dirt on the Raptor, pun intended, that's where to turn. If you just want to gaze at the specs, however, and wonder how they compare to the old Raptor or to the Ram TRX, check out the chart below. There you will find dimensions, clearances, angles, weights, capacities, engine output and fuel economy for the 2021 Raptor with both 35-inch and 37-inch tires. As Dan explains in his first drive, there's actually more going on there than just tire sizes. You'll find the same specs for the outgoing second-generation Raptor plus the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX and the less extreme Ram Rebel trim level in the chart, too. Other reviews and deep dives about the F-150 and TRX 2021 Ram 1500 TRX First Drive Review Our review of the Raptor's chief competitor, the mighty TRX.
