Recently imported to the USA, Customs duty paid, titled & registered as a historic vehicle in Maryland. Clear title in my name and can be registered for road use in any state. The Escort is originally a Left hand drive car, built by Ford for the European market and first registered in Macedonia on 12/30/1970. I have original papers from Macedonia and the original owners manual translated into their language also. It was imported to the UK a few years ago, where i purchased it from the 2nd owner in Cheshire. Engine & trans: original 1600cc Kent Crossflow 4 cyl, with 4 branch manifold, K&N filter, newer alternator & battery. Mated to standard 4 speed gearbox with recently replaced clutch & selector arm. Chassis: Front disc brakes, rear factory leaf springs with lowering blocks & drum brakes on the rear. Atlas short type rear axle (bigger & stronger than the typical "English" type axle, can handle major power upgrades). Open differential. 7J x13" Two Gates wheels with 185/60 tires.. Rear tires are brand new. Interior: Black fishnet Recaro RS seats, Original dash with 6 dial instrument cluster, functioning switches, heater, radio cassette, wipers etc.. (Even has the original floor mounted washer pump switch & dipped beam light switch. Original nice black carpet & rear seat bench (black cloth). Body: RUST FREE SHELL, No sunroof, all steel panels, Cibie Oscar spot lamps with covers, red painted backs. Some dings & blemishes and was repainted by a previous owner in the original red, however sanding swirl marks are visible through the paint close up. Having spent most of its life in a warmer, dryer climate than that of the UK, the chassis is rust free, however there are small spots of surface rust beginning around the edge of the hood. (see closeup pics). Note: the British license plate on the hood is just a sticker & can be removed. It has been driven well and is by no means a show car, but a good example of an all time classic. I am happy to answer any questions about the car via email, or over the phone if you email with your details. I can assist with delivery by trailer for an extra fee, or will accommodate your own shipping arrangements.

It runs and drives fine and all fluids are topped off with a fresh oil change, so its ready to roll out in Spring! |

Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City
Thu, 02 May 2013Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.

The Ford that won't let you speed
Thu, Mar 26 2015The new Ford S-Max introduces a technology called Intelligent Speed Limiter, a cruise control setting that can read speed limit signs and automatically keep the car at the maximum posted speed even when that speed changes. The driver activates it by pressing a button on the steering wheel, the S-Max does the rest, and the minivan will inform the driver if it exceeds the limit for some reason, for instance, when going downhill. Slowing down, like when crossing from a 40 mile-per-hour zone to a 30-mph zone, is handled by fuel flow, not by the brakes - the car simply cuts engine power. It works anywhere from 20 mph to 120 mph, yet as with every other cruise control it's totally driver controlled; pressing the accelerator will override the system at any time. The aim is to help drivers avoid tickets, not take over the car. You can only get it on the UK S-Max for now. There's a video above that explains it and press release below with more information. Could this spell the end for speeding tickets? March 23, 2015 -- Breaking the speed limit is not something we always do on purpose. All the same, it can be costly in terms of fines, and driving bans, as well as playing a significant role in many road accidents. In the U.K. alone, in 2013, more than 15,000 drivers received fines of GBP100 or more for speeding. We are now launching Intelligent Speed Limiter, a technology that could help prevent drivers from unintentionally exceeding speed limits. The system monitors road signs with a camera mounted on the windscreen, and slows the vehicle as required. As the speed limit rises, the system allows the driver to accelerate up to the set speed – providing it does not exceed the new limit. "Drivers are not always conscious of speeding and sometimes only becoming aware they were going too fast when they receive a fine in the mail or are pulled over by law enforcement," said Stefan Kappes, active safety supervisor, Ford of Europe. "Intelligent Speed Limiter can remove one of the stresses of driving, helping ensure customers remain within the legal speed limit." Further new technologies available for the new S-MAX include the Pedestrian Detection system that will reduce the severity of some collisions involving vehicles and pedestrians, or help drivers avoid some impacts altogether. The versatile people-mover also is equipped to help out at junctions where it is difficult to see.
