1997 Ford Taurus, Needs Repaired on 2040-cars
Year:1997
Mileage:97252
Location:
Sharon, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Vehicle sold as is ...the body is in overall good condition, with some rust underneath from sitting but nothing catastrophic.
Rocker panels were recently replaced due to rusted mounts. No collision history that I'm aware of. I purchased it from the original owner in 2007. The mileage was 83,060 at the time, so I only put 14,000 miles on it in 5 years. I always took good care of the car mechanically and oil was changed regularly. Current mileage is 97,252 miles. The interior in good condition. There is a small cigarette burn in the driver's seat. The car was smoked in, but it's not horrible and it would look great with a good detailing. The car has sat for 2 years. A water pump leaked and the engine overheated, cracking the head and antifreeze got into the bottom end. My intention was to rebuild or replace the motor, but never had the time or the money. Unlike many Tauruses, this one never had transmission problems. I serviced the transmission regularly. From sitting the tires and battery are shot, so it needs tires and a battery as well. This is a good car for someone mechanically-minded who might happen to have a spare Taurus 3.0L DOHC engine laying around and the time and/or resources to swap or rebuild an engine. There aren't too many of these floating around with less than 100k mileage. They were good cars, and ran forever ...unless you overheated them. I'm listing it for $399 firm ...only because there are several local salvage yards that will pay me exactly $400 for it, and they'll pick it up. I'd rather see it back on the road again for somebody though. |

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang
Thu, 05 Dec 2013J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.
