2002 Ford Explorer Xlt Ex- Municipal Fire Department Vehicle on 2040-cars
Preston, Connecticut, United States
'02 XLT EXPLORER AWD. 160,000 miles Ex Fire Chief vehicle. Transmission was just fully rebuilt and overdrive solenoids upgraded so it shifts a lot firmer than factory. (If you know these transmissions it was a Ford problem from the factory. No worries with this one giving out anytime). 4.0 V6 Engine was replaced at a Ford Dealership at 127,000. 7 passenger. Interior is clean. All lights and gauges work, cold a/c. Body has dings and scratches around from municipal use but still looks nice. 2 small antennas on the roof and a small black plastic circle on the dash where a emergency light was. No other fire department equipment other than a few screw holes in the rear cargo side panels. Prior repair on the door sills that have been repainted properly and chip guarded (probably from gear scraping the sills. Some scratches still on door jambs further up). Does have the Ford Explorer rear hatch crack that is a common problem and the headliner in front of the visor is starting to droop in 2 small spots. (I will be fixing the headliner.) Check out the pictures. Firestone tires have 2000 miles on them. Runs and drives nice. CT title in my name.

Shelby boosts production of 575-hp Raptor on early demand
Mon, 08 Apr 2013Shelby American unveiled its all-new Shelby Raptor at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that it would build just 100 examples of its off-road bad boy, a pickup priced at $17,995 over the cost of the donor Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. But the Las Vegas outfit apparently underestimated just how popular the supercharged 575-horsepower 4x4 would actually be.
Strong early demand reportedly has Shelby singing a whole new tune, as the company is now saying it will build upwards of 500 units annually. While the increased production will likely make for at least 400 more happy owners, those who were on the original short list - possibly speculating on future values - might not be grinning as much. Needless to say, the company has assured everyone that each and every one of the modified Raptors will still be listed in the official Shelby registry.
Keep in mind that Ford isn't sitting idle on its trophy-truck-for-the-street, either. The company will reveal its own 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition this month.
Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
Ford Focus ST checks into Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, 23 Sep 2013In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.
Riding on stylish 18-inch wheels with summer tires and with a spoiler that doubles as a lunch tray, Hameedi and Leno walk us through the finer points of what makes the ST special, which also includes bigger brakes, torque vectoring, a manual transmission and, of course, 252 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which is made possible by 21 psi of turbocharged boost.
Watch the video below to see what Leno thinks of the global Focus ST.
