Roberts, Wisconsin, United States

manual, all available factory options (inc Sony audiophile sound, power sunroof)
except anti-lock brakes, 97,xxx almost all highway miles (60 miles/day on I-94
as a daily driver). Parked every winter, cleanest used car you will ever see,
people still think it's new. 50 year old original owner,
non-smoker. Engine: Marcy cold air intake, Crane Stg 1 (mild) cams, Focus
Sport 89 and 91 octane tunes + stock (comes with SCT tuner to change), Borla
cat-back exhaust, F2 Header w/ high flow metal matrix catalytic converter and
secondary Borla baffle (sounds good NOT loud). Valves adjusted when cams
installed and were re-checked last year, new plugs. This engine does not need
any more maintenance than an otherwise stock engine, nor is the durability any
less. I've been working on motors my whole life (used to build and race
motorcycles) so I know what I'm doing, plus I'm super anal retentive
about maintenance so oil changed every 3-4K with Mobil 1 synthetic oil since
new. Exterior: Full SVT suspension kit (all new Ford parts), 7x17" Ford racing

clean car, has the usual rock chips in hood and a few repaired chips in
windshield from those damn gravel trucks. One small quarter sized dent of top of
right front fender from a cooler that fell off a shelf. The seat covers are
faded on sides but still in good condition (the seats underneath are perfect),
and the floor mat has a small worn heal spot. That's about it, everything else
is perfect. Needs nothing, drives very tight, everything works like new, no
rattles, squeaks, stains, etc. Service manual and all notes included. Stock
parts are also available inc 16" wheels with useable tires (included with buy it now price only). This car is a lot
of fun to drive and out runs SVTs. Clean title. KBB/NADA retail
is $6200 and I have ~ $4K in mods. Local pickup only. Happy bidding. |

Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses
Mon, 06 Jan 2014For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.
Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
