Up for sale is my current daily driver, 2001 Ford Taurus with 38K original miles! You can see a walk around VIDEO of the car here:

Runs and drives great. 3.0L V6, power windows, locks, and mirrors. A/C is cold, and the heat is hot. Tires are good, steering is tight, trans shifts excellent. Engine runs great with no smoking, knocking, or hesitation. Brakes are good, no pulsation. Nice reliable car ready for the road. All the monitors are set, and there are no codes in the car. I have put over 1,000 miles on this car myself. This is a former small Municipality police vehicle. No antenna holes in the body, and they put aftermarket tint all around. There is a slight scuff on the pass side of the rear bumper, and a very tiny dent on the Quarter panel, right where the bumper and Quarter panel meet. The tiny dent is almost not noticeable. There is also a small crease on the lower pass front door (you can see it in the picture below. I have replaced the coil pack, plug wires, and serp. belt. I did remove the vinyl coverings on the rear door panels (they were falling off, very common). The car will pass NY State emissions and safety inspection with no problems. All monitors are set. The car does have some dings, scuffs, and scratches, but has the original paint all around. I have the car for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells locally prior to the auctions end. I am driving it everyday, so the miles are going to be slightly higher than the listing when it is sold.

There are only 2 minor issues with the car.

1. The dome light does not go on when you open the drivers door. Works with all the others. Probably disconnected for the police use. I may repair it before the auction ends if I have the chance. If I do, I will add it here.

2. There is a light shake in the steering wheel between about 50-60 mph. Never looked in depth into what's causing it.

Any questions, please ask. You can also call call me at 5I6 area code, 52I-I957.

NY State residents only, will have to pay me sales tax on the final price, and the inspection fee ($37).

eBay Find Of The Day: 1988 Saleen Ford Mustang General Tire 21R race car

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

Saleen may be making headlines these days for working on the Tesla Model S, but its history and bread-and-butter is all about the Ford Mustang. The rear-wheel-drive Dearborn pony cars singlehandedly put the company on the map in the '80s. Founder Steve Saleen was already a talented American racing driver when he started the venture, and like many auto industry businesses before him, Saleen went to the track to prove his vehicles' worth. Now, there's a chance to buy one of those early racers on eBay Motors.
Saleen Mustangs raced in the Sports Car Club of America Escort Endurance Championship - a series of multi-hour races meant to challenge man and machine. Ostensibly a showroom stock class, the cars had larger wheels, tuned suspensions and other upgrades that stretched the concept slightly. Saleen found major success though, taking the championship for its class in 1987 and winning the 24 Hours of Mosport consecutively from 1986 through 1988.
According to the seller, Saleen only built eight of these cars, and this one carries the #21R serial number. They all started life as new Mustangs from Ford dealers but were immediately stripped and prepped to go racing. Beyond obvious mods like a roll cage, they featured eight-inch wide wheels in front, an inch of additional track width, stiffer suspension bushings and much more.

Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response

Fri, Jan 25 2019

Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story.
