I'm selling my 2005 Ford Escape XLT Sport. My wife and I bought it new in October of 2004, so it's a 1 owner(non smoker)vehicle and never been in an accident. It's front wheel drive and has the 3.0L V6 engine. Overall it's in great, clean condition but as with other used vehicles, has some nicks, scratches, and dents. Also, I want to be honest so I will say that the check engine light does come on after awhile(catalytic converter/manifold(bank 2/front)) but I have the part to fix it and it will be included. It has two-tone paint that's white on the top and charcoal on the bottom. The interior is tan leather. It has 175,500 mainly highway miles. I'm from NY and this is the car my wife and I used to drive back and forth once a month. She also drove it 80 miles round trip to work daily. It's been a great car and we've put a lot of work into it in the last 6 months/year but needed a bigger SUV so we're selling this one. It has new front brake lines, pads(ceramic)/rotors and calipers on the front. It has a newer alternator and brand new battery, new Y-pipe, newer serpentine belt, both tensioners, new A/C compressor/drier, and the whole system was vacuumed and recharged(September 2013). This model year Escape had a design flaw where they ran the moonroof drain to the rear passenger side wheel-well. Eventually, they completely rust out and the rear spring blows through the rear quarter panel. After driving with the spring literally coming through the inside of the truck, we had the problem fixed and put new rear springs on each side. This model year is also known for rusting under the doors and rear door/quarter panels, but those spots have been treated with POR15 and repainted. It has almost new(11/32) Continental Contitrac tires, full sized spare with matching alloy wheel, a class III hitch with 2" receiver, 6 disc in-dash cd changer and AUX input/FM modulator, wood grain dash trim, leather, power driver seat, power windows/locks, moonroof, tinted rear glass, and aftermarket Viper auto-start. We also have 4 new Timken wheel bearings and front hubs that we never got around to put on but will include. The oil has been changed every 3,000 miles and it's been well maintained. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Sold As-Is.  Thanks for looking!

    1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

    Fri, 18 Jul 2014

    Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
    The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
    Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

    NHTSA closes Ford F-150 EcoBoost acceleration probe

    Mon, 14 Apr 2014

    Typically when we report on the findings of an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's because the government body has discovered a safety issue and prescribed a recall. In this case, however, NHTSA has closed an investigation into a reported performance deficit without ever getting to the recall stage.
    The issue revolves around the Ford F-150 - specifically those equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine - of which some 360,000 were built in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. After receiving an initial 95 complaints, NHTSA opened an investigation last May - almost a year ago - into the reported issue of reduced engine power under hard acceleration. The agency has since received a total of 525 such complaints, and Ford itself reported receiving over 4,000.
    Together, NHTSA and Ford determined that the problem resulted from cylinders misfiring, an issue itself stemming from water getting into the charge air cooler (CAC) mated to the turbochargers. In particularly humid or rainy conditions, water was found to get into the CAC, causing some of the cylinders to misfire, which in turn triggered the ECU to disable those cylinders in order to protect the catalytic converter from damage.

    Galpin Auto Sports and Fisker turn the Mustang into a Rocket in LA [w/video]

    Thu, Nov 20 2014

    Galpin Auto Sport and Henrik Fisker made big promises about the Rocket before its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show today, calling it the "ultimate American muscle car." Now that this 725-horsepower carbon-fiber Ford Mustang has officially been revealed, we've now got a chance to see if their vision backs up all the bluster. The Rocket is based off the latest 2015 Mustang, but the entire exterior design has been substantially reworked by Fisker. "This is a project born out of passion, it's a dream come true, to have the opportunity to 'touch' a Mustang and apply my design ideas to it," he says in the model's announcement. The biggest changes come up front, where Fisker has added a gaping hexagonal grille with a polished bar running and two nearly hidden driving lights at the top corners. Long nostrils run down each side of the hood, taking their inspiration from the 1968 Shelby GT500. The Rocket's design also emphasizes its scalloped sides, which run back to functional ducts at the rear to cool the Brembo Grand Turismo brakes. When checking out the Rocket from the rear, it's easy to spot the wider fenders that are beautifully blended into the integrated spoiler. The interior has been left mostly alone beyond some eye-grabbing red leather and carbon-fiber trim. Under the hood, Galpin spokesperson Nathan Hoyt has confirmed to Autoblog that the Rocket employs a 5.0-liter V8 with a Whipple supercharger which can be called to attention with a six-speed manual gearbox. It took only a few months for the vehicle to go from conception to reality. Fisker showed Galpin President Beau Boeckmann early sketches at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and the two parties went from there. "When Henrik showed me his ideas, I got chills - it's literally the most beautiful Mustang I have ever seen," says Boeckmann in the company's release. Production is set to begin in December, with deliveries starting in early 2015. There's no set production total in mind for now, but Hoyt tells Autoblog that the price will be "just over $100,000."
