Up for auction is my 2000 Ford Excursion. Yes it has has a prior salvage title in Iowa. I own and operate a shop in town and I bought this truck for myself three years ago from auction. It was wrecked in the front. No frame damage at all. I looked for quite a while to find a nice truck with the 7.3 as I did not want anything to do with that 6.0 liter. Since the truck was wrecked in the front I upgraded all the front end pieces to the 05-07 superduty frontend with all color matched parts and the harley davidson style headlights with 5000k HID conversion on lights and driving lights.On the rear I replaced the chrome bumper with a painted one and custom installed the backup camera into the rear handle assembly and it points directly at the trailer ball as that is the main reason I built this truck, For towing trailers and our camper. The interior is all original except the Clarion NX500 head unit with Navigation and rear monitors for the kids. I do have the third row seat, it's just not in the pictures. The exterior is obviously all custom paint. Top is straight black and the lower is Guards red all done in PPG base clear. The truck was pretty much completely disassembled when painting so the colors go through the jams and everything. The truck was originally black. The 7.3 is all stock except the wicked wheel on the turbo to eliminate the stock wheel flutter under hard boost. The up pipes were all done when the wheel was installed.It does have a superchips programmer in it that stays set on tow safe mode unless were road tripping without a trailer. Then it's on max performance for fuel mileage.The best I seen was 18mpg with 8 people in it on a trip to St.Louis. The brakes are new in the front and new last year in the rear. The Nitto 305/55/r20's are in decent shape with a decent amount of tread left yet. The wheels are definetely what we call 20 footers. I run them year round and it's showing. They look good from a distance but are corroding. Like I said I built this 3 years ago and have put over 50k miles on it with no issues besides basic maintenance. Oil changed every 5k miles with Delvac. Now a few things to know. The Clarion needs to be sent in for service. When inserting a DVD it is suppose to switch from radio screen to DVD but it stopped doing that a few months ago. Just stays on radio so you cant control the player to the rear monitors. They said it would be couple hundred bucks at worse. This is a 14 year old truck and I've done my best to keep the slop off of it in the winter but it's starting to show rust on the inside lips of the doors and the drivers side rear rocker. It could be taken care of by a shop rather easily I would think. The suspension is all original. I was going to put a lift in but it's already tough for the kids to get in and out as it is. Basically we sold the camper and went to a motorhome so I don't really need this truck anymore but I don't have to get rid of it either so no low balling. It's been a great truck for us and they're getting harder to find.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags.

The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer.

Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake to get limited production run

Mon, Dec 22 2014

The upcoming Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang keeps grabbing a horde of headlines thanks in no small part to the pony car's 5.2-liter V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, magnetic dampers and other go-fast goodies. However, as the new contender enters the ring, Shelby American is saying goodbye to the old GT500 and the company's even more powerful Super Snake version with its new Signature Edition model. Limited to a total of 50 conversions on 2007-2014 coupe or convertible GT500s, the Shelby American Signature Edition packages some of buyers' most common choices into a single vehicle with a few extra touches, as well. The heart of it all is a 3.6-liter Kenne Bell supercharger to replace the V8's standard blower and take power up to a claimed 850 horsepower for the latest models. To keep things running at the proper temp, the mill gets an upgraded radiator, heat exchanger and aluminum cooling tanks, too. The rear brakes are also improved to slow this stallion down. In addition to the boosted power, buyers get some extra style. These special Super Snakes are available in all of the colors available on them from Ford, plus a range of shades for the stripe, and the wide body package can also be added as an additional option. The limited version wears 20-inch forged wheels from Weld that are 9.5-inches wide at the front and 10.5-inches at the rear and feature Signature Edition center caps. Inside, there's a commemorative badge with Shelby's signature on the airbag cover and Signature Edition floor mats. Finally, customers get a day training at the track to learn how to control this beast as part of the package. Orders for the Signature Edition are being accepted through January 31, 2015, and the modded model is priced at $44,995.00, which is in addition to the price of the stock GT500. Read below for Shelby American's full announcement of this limited Mustang.
