For sale is my 2002 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer. This was my regular driver from 2005 to 2013. It now has apx. 190,000.miles. I had just got the Explorer a new PA inspection in the summer of 2012. New tires, brakes etc. Early 2013 the tranny started acting up. Rough shifting. I just parked it. I started driving one of my work vans. I called a tranny shop and got a verbal quote around $1500.00. I have never had it to the shop to get officially diagnosed. I am selling it with the assumption that it will need re built, or replaced. If it is something else then it will be a bonus to the winning buyer. It still can be driven. I don't know how far. I actually had it on the highway for a stretch and after it shifted through the gears it drove OK. I do not make any guarantees that you can drive it back home to ?? Check out the pictures I just took them for this auction. This Explorer always drove great. No known mechanical issues(other than the tranny). Only has a couple of thousand miles since the PA sticker was put on. Once again it has been sitting for about a year and a half. Brand new battery. The Explorer still looks great. The paint looks good. Some paint chips, some small rust bubbles, scratches, door dings etc. It is a 12 year old car that was a regular driver. The interior is in very nice condition. A little wear on the drivers seat. Good door panels, back seats are great. Carpets good. Glass good. Everything works. Moonroof, windows, locks, cruise, stereo with 6 pack CD. One of the pre sets ate my CD. Just coughed it up the other day. Air still blows cold. No third row. I kept it expecting to put the money in to repair it. I bought an older Navigator last summer. I just invested a grand into that to get a fresh inspection. Time to sell the Explorer. I do have it advertised locally and already have some interest. I was offered $1500.00. today. That is where I will start the bidding with no reserve. If you are local and want to come by and check it out let me know. Any questions just ask.

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.

Carfection looks for the ultimate pocket rocket

Fri, Mar 18 2016

If there's one thing we love, it's a good showdown. Especially when it's on video, done by some Englishmen, and involving some manner of performance machinery. Like this latest clip, for example, from Carfection. The team formerly known as Xcar have assembled three very compelling supermini hot hatches: two we can get on our side of the pond, and one we can't. One American, one Frenchman, and one Brit. One cheap, one expensive, and one somewhere in between. They all pack turbo fours, of course, but placed in entirely different packages. There's the evergreen favorite Ford Fiesta ST, the Renault Clio RS 220 Trophy that should have the rest licked, and the retro rocket that is the Mini JCW. And there's only one way to find out which is the best. It's a tough contest, to be sure, but lest you think it all comes down to specifications or which one's the newest, you'll want to think again. Because when it comes to hot hatches, all the electronic gizmos and power boosts in the world can't show up a perfectly dialed-in chassis that lets you hug the curves and feel like you're going a lot faster than you actually are. But don't take our word for it – see what our British friends have to say about it in the Queen's English in the seventeen-minute clip above. Related Video:

This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.
