THIS IS A FANTASTIC, FUN TO DRIVE CAR FOR NOT A LOT OF MONEY.    IT HAS LEATHER RECARO SEATS, A HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE AND A SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION.

My SVT has under 37,000 miles (36,113 as of 6/16 @ 10:03EDT but I am still driving it regularly).   I bought it from an older gentleman (in his 60's....I am 58) who said that he'd owned it almost since it was new.    I've only put around 5,000 miles on the car....I mostly commute to work on a scooter.   I have been gentle with the car and I believe the previous owner was, also.


The SVT's interior is very good.   I'm sure it isn't perfect but nothing comes to mind.   It has leather Recaro seats up front with seat heaters.  It has a glass sunroof.    I'm not sure if the lighter/power outlets work---I've never used either of them.   It has a  CD changer (that I've never used) and, since the radio sounds great, I'm figuring it has an upgraded sound system.    

The exterior looks good.  The paint is very good.  There are a few little parking lot dimples and there is some residue of what likely was overspray (inside of gas access door, on bottom bolt in right rear fender well, below gas access door....nothing on rubber trim and nothing I've seen elsewhere).    This is noticeable only upon very close inspection.   I got a "clean" CarFax when I bought it and I've had no accidents.  The glass is all fine.  It has fog lights.  The bumpers and side skirts are in very good shape.   The headlight lenses are cloudy.

Mechanically, the car is in very good shape. The engine accelerates smoothly.   The (6 speed) transmission shifts well.   It drives straight and stops straight.  The clutch engages early in it's travel and seems fine.  The tires are good.   The check engine light has come on a few times with a code indicating the car isn't heating up fast enough (P0125).  This is, apparently (based on my Internet research), a common issue with the SVT.  I have put a piece of tape on the lower grill to block air flow and that, along with the Florida summer heat, appears to have taken care of the problem...for now.   When the summer is over, I believe it will need a new thermostat.   In the meantime, the engine heats up properly and attains (according to the Temperature Gauge and the Oil Temperature Gauge) normal operating temperatures....it just, I guess, sometimes takes longer than the computer thinks it should.

The tires appear to be good.  The rims are good (I have no doubt that they are not perfect).   

I have had no mechanical issues except for: 1) The code (see above)  2) The "door open" indicator light staying lit.   Following instructions I found on the internet, I sprayed some cleaner around the door locks and that fixed it.  3) The front windshield wipers don't park (at the bottom of the windshield) on their own most of the time.

The a/c blows cold.  The previous owner reports having had the condenser(?) replaced.   I do have at least some of his records.   Besides an oil change and cleaning the door-close sensors, I haven't had to do anything.

There is some wrinkled paint on the exhaust(?) manifold.

Please feel free to email me questions.    

Because it is used, the car will be sold "as is".   I will be available for a shipper to pick up after payment in full has cleared.  Buyer is responsible for shipping.    The car will be available for pickup during the day in downtown West Palm Beach---a few miles from the local airport, PBI.   I am not available to pick up the buyer at the airport.   
  
I have clean title in my possession.   The car will have to be registered in the name of the new owner if it going to be driven off but I would deliver it, after payment in full has cleared, within 50 miles of downtown West Palm Beach.
 
Since it is used, the car will be sold "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS".

How Ford hid the 2015 Mustang from spy photographers

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Now that we've finally seen the 2015 Ford Mustang, it's fun to go back and look at the spy shots we spent months pouring over, trying to dissect what was under all the camouflage. For the most part, Ford did a good job of concealing the car from spy photographers, and it released a video showing how much work went into doing so.
As crude as the Mustang's camo looked, all of the hard plastic, foam, vinyl and ratchet straps were actually created and put in place by a specific design team. The whole idea was to hide the car's identity, but it certainly ended up acting as a magnet for attention, too. According to Ford's press release, it took less than an hour for spy shots to appear online after the car was taken on public roads for the very first time - this is likely in reference to our first official spy shots of the Mustang from June, shown in the gallery below.
Scroll down for a press release and video, which shows footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang testing with minimal camouflage. This is probably the same track session where we got our first look at the Mustang's face back in August.

Ken Block shows us around his Ford F-150 RaptorTrax

Thu, Jan 22 2015

From his Fiesta HFHV to his '65 Mustang Hoonicorn, the inimitable Ken Block has some awesome machinery at his disposal. But arguably the coolest of the bunch is the RaptorTrax. Based on the previous-gen Ford F-150 SVT Raptor - the one with the steel frame and V8 engine - Block's back country snowmobile on steroids packs a set of tracks at each corner, a full roll cage, equipment rack, lighting, jump seats, survival gear... everything he could need for a trip off road. The Gymkhana master showcased the beast a couple of months ago on the slopes of Baldface in Nelson, BC, but now he's followed up with a less eye-popping but more informative clip in which he shows us everything his RaptorTrax has to offer.

Ford unveils its facelifted Falcon finale with new XR8

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

While its days may be numbered, Ford isn't just going to let its Falcon sedan limp out for the Australian market. No, the Blue Oval is releasing a refreshed Falcon for its final years, and it's lead by this, the new XR8. That's right, this dead-car-driving is going to go out on a high note.
Ford's global design DNA dominates the looks of the new Falcon, with a grille reminiscent of the US market Fusion and the European-market Mondeo. The headlights aren't a straight port, and boast their own unique LED running light pattern (at least on the XR8), but the overall look is strikingly similar. Out back, LED taillights highlight the rear of the Faclon. Despite the substantial new fascia, this is still a mid-cycle refresh. That means most of the rest of the Falcon's body panels are carryovers from the current model.
The XR8 model, shown above, arrives with a supercharged V8, allegedly displacing 5.0 liters. Unfortunately, details on the Falcon's mechanicals are in remarkably short supply. Ford has committed to a range of turbocharged four, as well as turbocharged and naturally aspirated six-cylinders, in addition to the V8, although specifics on those mills aren't available.
