Selling my 1997 Sport with 141372 miles on it. Ran into the back of a Dodge pickup and decided it was time to move on to something else. Car still will start and drive around the lot where its parked but the radiator is shot so it won't run long. Will need new radiator, fan, front end body panels, condenser, core support, header panel, passenger side headlight, both airbags, battery, and various other small parts. Most of the damage is above frame level as the car went under the back bumper.
Things I have done to the car:
- New motorcraft starter installed 2 months ago.
- Replaced everything in the A/C system with new parts except the evaporator core 2 years ago, and installed a new heater core in 2007.
- Cooling system has been flushed regularly.
- Transmission filter and fluid changed about 10,000 miles ago
- Amsoil is what I use in the engine and transmission
- Plugs and wires replaced with Motorcraft parts at 109000 miles.
- Both coil packs have been replaced with new ones.
- Serpentine belt new around 135000 miles.
- New water pump installed at 125000 miles
- New tensioner and idler pulleys installed at 127000 miles
- New fuel filter installed at 115000 miles.
- Dynomax DirectFit catalytic converters installed for better flow.
- Cat-back exhaust with single pipe that Ys to dual Flowmaster mufflers
- Both rear HO2S sensors replaced in the last 20000 miles.
- Flex plate replaced at 115000 miles.
- Aftermarket airfilter
- Window tint
- New upper and lower control arms with ball joints and alignment at 120000 miles and I had the alignment rechecked at 134000 miles.
- Rear sway bar end links replaced
- Ford Racing PI intake installed at 132000 miles due to factory intake splitting the coolant crossover.
I have done most of the work on the car myself and have most of the receipts for the parts that I installed and the work that has been done at other shops.
The car now has stock Sport/SC rims with P225/55R16 Firestone Firehawk tires - All 4 tires match and about half tread left. Title is a clear Texas title that I have in my possesion. Car is inspected to 12/13.
Vehicle is for sale locally so auction will be ended if sold.

Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.
