It has some wear from over the years but has been very well maintained. There is one small dent behind the rear bumper and the paint has some minor surface scratches that could be buffed out. there is absolutely no rust on this vehicle. This truck is mechanically sound but does need the alternator belt replaced along with oil and filters which can be found at your local auto parts store or rock auto.com."

Hello! You are looking at a beautiful piece of Ford history. This truck is all original and has been kept in a garage most of its life, and it has been well-maintained. 


I am the third owner, but it has been in my family since it was brand new. The truck from 1987 to 2005 accrued only 8000 miles. It was garage-kept until my father-in-law purchased it around 2006. He put about 14000 miles on it driving it to work-- mostly interstate travel. Most of the service records have been kept on a note pad. My father in-law gifted this truck to me in 2009 because it had a starting issue and was leaking diesel. Since I am a diesel mechanic, he figured I could fix the problem. 

The starting issue was a result of the diesel leak . The 12v wire on the starting solenoid started to corrode from the diesel. I put about 5,000 miles on it before I parked it in a garage for the last four years. I recently pulled the fuel injection pump off and had a gasket kit installed and calibrated. I replaced the front calipers because they were sticking on one side. I would recommend replacing the hydraulic line from the frame block to the caliper because those are known to swell and cause the brakes to stick as well.

I used a restore kit on the a/c because the compressor wasn't engaging due to low pressure. It's been two weeks and its still holding, but I believe one of the hoses is leaking around one of the connection points. The truck looks new on the outside as well as inside. The topper you see was added in 2006, but does come with the truck. The dash has some minor sun damage. There is currently a cd player in it, but the factory radio also comes with the truck. 

I am selling this truck not because I need to, but because I have a family now and no longer can enjoy this truck the way some one with the love of small diesels and great milage could. Good luck! If you have any questions you can E-mail me at pacifiicjon22@yahoo.com. Thanks, and happy bidding!

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST

Concentrated ST Formula Proves Just As Potent
I'm not the jealous type... usually. But I will fully admit to being somewhat of a Pouty Polly when I read executive editor Chris Paukert's report after driving the then-new 2013 Ford Focus ST through the impossibly pretty southern French Alps region last June. I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but hot hatchbacks hold a special place in my heart. And while I'm always giddy to drive any sort of small, turbocharged three- or five-door at home in Detroit, my jealousy was indeed piqued after hearing Paukert tell about the challenging yet breathtaking roads he encountered while driving the flamin' yellow Focus. You know, the sort of roads that, from above, look like carelessly drizzled lines of icing on the frosted Alpen caps.
Several months later, I found myself piloting a Focus ST just west of metro Detroit, pitting it head-to-head against one of Autoblog's perennial favorite cars, the Volkswagen GTI. It was fantastic - enough so that I fully stand behind my statement that in terms of balls-out performance, the Focus ST cannot be beat as far as today's front-wheel-drive hatches are concerned.

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.
