2003 Ford Escort Zx2 on 2040-cars
Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania, United States
I purchased this vehicle to use as a commuter car for the great gas mileage. Unfortunately the transmission started acting up and I went back to driving my other vehicle. I only got to put a few thousand of miles on the car and before the trans problems but it drove great and everything seemed nice and tight. I purchased the zx2 from the original owners knowing that it needed a head gasket. I had the head machined and new valve guides installed prior to replacing the head gasket. Before I started driving the car I replaced the front pass caliper and pads on both sides, 2 new front tires and I also bought 2 snow tires that come with the car. Also replaced were the rear shoes and the exhaust from catalytic converter back. I also put a new pioneer stereo that has a usb/ipod hookup with the proper harness.
Interior of the car is in excellent shape, there is a burn hole in the rear seat on the pass side. The rest of the interior shows little to no wear and still has a nice smell as I know the original owner was a non smoker. all the power accessories work as they should, power windows, power locks, power sunroof(no leaks), and the power mirrors. The engine ran great when I was driving it and I didn't have an issue with it at all, when the head gasket was done I also did a tune up plugs, wires, the fuel filter. I also had to have the engine re timed do the a failed vct solenoid and with the part and labor it ran me a little over 800 dollars and the ford dealer in Edinboro pa The transmission still moves the car, when placed in D it slips but engages normally in L, I'm not sure if it is a solenoid in the valve body or if it just needs replaced. once started out in low if you put the selector in D it shifts normally until you come to a stop then you have to do it all over again. The exterior of the car looks good, has a few minor dings and dents and a few scratches. It is also missing the door molding on the drivers door. There are a few surface rust spots but nothing that is through the metal, the undercarriage has some corrosion but is still nice and solid I hate to let it go but with already having a car and a new baby now my priorities have changed and its time to move on. The zx2 is sold as is/where is. It is up to the buyer to pick up or make arrangements for shipping, I am happy to help load the vehicle as I wouldn't drive it not knowing when the transmission is going to completely go out. Buyer is responsible for title transfer fees The reserve price is not much more than scrap. |

Ford Australia goes miniature with Beachkhana 1.0 video
Tue, Mar 3 2015Ken Block's Gymkhana franchise may have started with Subaru, but it's most closely associated with Ford, which the rally star joined way back in 2010. That fruitful partnership has spawned a number of Gymkhanas, and Block even showed up to help introduce the new Focus RS. To honor this, Ford Australia has come up with an adorable parody (for lack of a better word), starring the hero Sun Block. Rather than a full-scale rally Fiesta piloted by a Vegemite-munching Aussie, though, Ford of Oz has gone tiny for its tribute. Really tiny. The product is Beachkhana 1.0 – Wild on the Beaches of Australia, is a funky little stop-motion feature using tiny, 1:43-scale cars in much the same manner as Mr. Block drives his Fiesta rally car. It even pokes some fun at Mercedes-Benz's hilarious Magic Body Control ad. Check it out.

How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be
Fri, 20 Sep 2013Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.
