*** 2001 Ford SVT Lightning 12,033 Original Miles ***

Read First: I know this truck will have a lot of interest. I may choose not to answer some emails or questions as I'm only looking for a buyer that has the funds capable of purchasing this nearly flawless example. Please let me know of your intent or how serious you are. This is not an "eBay special" nor will it sell for "cheap", although it's less than a new 4-cylinder Toyota Camry I saw at the Toyota Dealer. :-) If you're hoping to get a lot off my asking price, you won't. i'm very easy to work with, though, and will help out with anything you need such as storing it for a longer period of time or working with your shipper.

What: I have owned, played with, and collected unique and fun autos my entire life. This is my 4th SVT Lightning and by far the nicest example I've ever seen. I purchased my first Lightning back in 2003 and have loved them ever since! I owned one stock, one lightly modified, and one heavily modified that produced 730 horse power. This example is completely stock and always has been. Completely 100% original as it came off the showroom floor in 2001! Currently at only 12,033 original miles. You may not ever find one like this again. Rare chance at a nearly new SVT Lightning. This should be an amazing future investment (Barrett Jackson?). My struggle is not driving it, not modifying it, and keeping the miles off. It has never been raced or at a track. It should, however, attend a few "car shows".

This truck has never been driven in the rain or the snow.

This is a third "car" for us in addition to our other toys (PWC, Boat, Jeep...). We do not need to sell this and I've closed this auction template a few times after deciding not to part with it. Our plan was to keep it for years and keep the miles low as I know I cannot replace this. It will only appreciate in value. I'm not listing this for sale locally as I'd like to avoid tire kickers, and do not plan re-list this again if it doesn't sell during the auction.

Includes:

Original "Ford Special Vehicle Team" Certificate. Build #3407.

Original Window Sticker

Original Books/Manuals

Both original keys and key fobs

Original Ford Tonneau Cover (factory option on the Window Sticker)

Original Ford Rubber Bed-Mat

Unused Garage Door Opener/Velcro (shown in picture)

Original Ford Stereo Tape Player with 6-Disc CD Changer (behind seat)

Condition - Exterior: Excellent. As new. No dents, no scratches anywhere on the paint. Original paint, original panels, original VIN tags. The tires have no dry rot or issues. Tread depth looks like you'd expect with only 12,033 miles. I would guess all for around 30% worn with 70% tread left. I've taken a photo of a minor scratch on the top of the tailgate plastic. And one photo of a slight scratch on one rim. That's all I can find anywhere on the exterior. Otherwise picture a brand new Lightning. Even the underside of the truck looks new.

Condition - Interior: Excellent. As new. Zero issues. Non smoker, no pets, no food, no smells, no wear on the suede/leather seats.

Engine: Excellent condition. As new and as you'd expect with only 12,033 original miles.

Shipping: We're in Charlotte North Carolina. I will help you and your Shipper if you're out of state. Or feel free to fly in to Charlotte and drive it home.

Payment: A non refundable Paypal deposit of $500 is due IMMEDIATELY after you win the auction. No exceptions.

Feedback: Note our near perfect, positive feedback for ~11 YEARS on eBay!

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial

Sat, 01 Feb 2014

Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.

First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.

2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).
