Very Rare 2000 Ford Zx-2 S/r Edition--great Driving Car--read & See Pics on 2040-cars
Northumberland, Pennsylvania, United States
Here is an opportunity to own and drive a piece Ford history. There were lots of Escorts sold, but only a very limited number of S/R editions. With input from Jack Roush, the Ford special vehicles team made this a one-year only project, the S/R (street racer) was only sold publicly in the year 2000, with only 2000 total produced........1,000 Sulfer yellow, 500 red, 500 black. Factory updates over the regular ZX-2 include: Iceman intake B & M short throw shifter Leather shift boot Centerforce clutch Visteon PCM Tokico struts Eibach lowering springs Borla exhaust 205/55R15 tires Exclusive daizy wheels Blue Ford valve cover 150 mph speedometer S/R seats and mats front & rear disc brakes A 6-disc CD changer has also been added in the trunk. This was a "must" for my daughter who used the car to commute 100 miles a day to school. This vehicle has been in our family for the last 10 years and has been maintained with regular oil changes. Rear brakes have been completely rebuilt just 200 miles ago, front rotors and pads about a year ago, the battery is less than 2 years old, and the tires have only a few thousand miles on them. Runs and drives great. Uses no oil and has no fluid leaks. Everything on the car works well except the passenger window motor is tired. Odometer currently shows 134,600 miles, but the car looks and drives like half of that! Ask any questions and look at all the pictures to fully understand the quality of this vehicle. Car is fully drivable and inspected so you could come get it and drive it home. My sales requirements are pretty simple. I need a non-refundable deposit of $200.00 within 24 hours of auction end. The balance is due within 10 days and may be presented when you pick up the car if it is in the form of cash, certified check, Postal Money orders. No personal checks accepted unless they are mailed to me and cleared before delivery of car. Again, check out all the pictures and happy bidding.

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown
Sun, 18 May 2014A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
Ford Tourneo ready for duty in Connect, Courier and Custom flavors [w/videos]

Like the 2014 Transit Connect was saw in Paris last year, the Tourneo Connect comes in a five-seat configuration while the Grand Connect can seat seven. Finally, the Tourneo Custom seats up to nine passengers, and it is available in two lengths up to 210 inches long putting it just six inches shorter than a standard-length E-Series van and about a foot longer than the Explorer.
