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 sells 7-millionth Explorer in America
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Say what you will about the evolution of the Ford Explorer, from roofed Ranger to body-on-frame sport utility vehicle to unibody crossover - the bottom line is that it's been a tremendously successful model for Ford. In fact, the Blue Oval automaker has sold seven million Explorer models in the United States alone.
The milestone, marked nearly a quarter-century after the introduction of the original in 1990, comes on the eve of the introduction of a new Explorer at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. We don't yet know how the new Explorer will shape up, but we're mere days away from finding out.
Now heading into its sixth generation, the Explorer has formed the basis of Ford's utility lineup for over two decades. The Explorer landed on the market right around the time that the Bronco was trailing off, predating the company's expansion into larger SUVs like the Expedition and Excursion and crossovers like the Escape, Edge and Flex.
Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24
Tue, 01 Oct 2013It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9.
