*** 2001 Ford SVT Lightning 12,033 Original Miles *** Read First: I know this truck will have a lot of interest. I may choose not to answer some emails or questions as I'm only looking for a buyer that has the funds capable of purchasing this nearly flawless example. Please let me know of your intent or how serious you are. This is not an "eBay special" nor will it sell for "cheap", although it's less than a new 4-cylinder Toyota Camry I saw at the Toyota Dealer. :-) If you're hoping to get a lot off my asking price, you won't. i'm very easy to work with, though, and will help out with anything you need such as storing it for a longer period of time or working with your shipper. What: I have owned, played with, and collected unique and fun autos my entire life. This is my 4th SVT Lightning and by far the nicest example I've ever seen. I purchased my first Lightning back in 2003 and have loved them ever since! I owned one stock, one lightly modified, and one heavily modified that produced 730 horse power. This example is completely stock and always has been. Completely 100% original as it came off the showroom floor in 2001! Currently at only 12,033 original miles. You may not ever find one like this again. Rare chance at a nearly new SVT Lightning. This should be an amazing future investment (Barrett Jackson?). My struggle is not driving it, not modifying it, and keeping the miles off. It has never been raced or at a track. It should, however, attend a few "car shows". This truck has never been driven in the rain or the snow. This is a third "car" for us in addition to our other toys (PWC, Boat, Jeep...). We do not need to sell this and I've closed this auction template a few times after deciding not to part with it. Our plan was to keep it for years and keep the miles low as I know I cannot replace this. It will only appreciate in value. I'm not listing this for sale locally as I'd like to avoid tire kickers, and do not plan re-list this again if it doesn't sell during the auction. Includes: Original "Ford Special Vehicle Team" Certificate. Build #3407. Original Window Sticker Original Books/Manuals Both original keys and key fobs Original Ford Tonneau Cover (factory option on the Window Sticker) Original Ford Rubber Bed-Mat Unused Garage Door Opener/Velcro (shown in picture) Original Ford Stereo Tape Player with 6-Disc CD Changer (behind seat) Condition - Exterior: Excellent. As new. No dents, no scratches anywhere on the paint. Original paint, original panels, original VIN tags. The tires have no dry rot or issues. Tread depth looks like you'd expect with only 12,033 miles. I would guess all for around 30% worn with 70% tread left. I've taken a photo of a minor scratch on the top of the tailgate plastic. And one photo of a slight scratch on one rim. That's all I can find anywhere on the exterior. Otherwise picture a brand new Lightning. Even the underside of the truck looks new. Condition - Interior: Excellent. As new. Zero issues. Non smoker, no pets, no food, no smells, no wear on the suede/leather seats. Engine: Excellent condition. As new and as you'd expect with only 12,033 original miles. Shipping: We're in Charlotte North Carolina. I will help you and your Shipper if you're out of state. Or feel free to fly in to Charlotte and drive it home. Payment: A non refundable Paypal deposit of $500 is due IMMEDIATELY after you win the auction. No exceptions. Feedback: Note our near perfect, positive feedback for ~11 YEARS on eBay! |

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Galpin Auto Sports and Fisker turn the Mustang into a Rocket in LA [w/video]
Thu, Nov 20 2014Galpin Auto Sport and Henrik Fisker made big promises about the Rocket before its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show today, calling it the "ultimate American muscle car." Now that this 725-horsepower carbon-fiber Ford Mustang has officially been revealed, we've now got a chance to see if their vision backs up all the bluster. The Rocket is based off the latest 2015 Mustang, but the entire exterior design has been substantially reworked by Fisker. "This is a project born out of passion, it's a dream come true, to have the opportunity to 'touch' a Mustang and apply my design ideas to it," he says in the model's announcement. The biggest changes come up front, where Fisker has added a gaping hexagonal grille with a polished bar running and two nearly hidden driving lights at the top corners. Long nostrils run down each side of the hood, taking their inspiration from the 1968 Shelby GT500. The Rocket's design also emphasizes its scalloped sides, which run back to functional ducts at the rear to cool the Brembo Grand Turismo brakes. When checking out the Rocket from the rear, it's easy to spot the wider fenders that are beautifully blended into the integrated spoiler. The interior has been left mostly alone beyond some eye-grabbing red leather and carbon-fiber trim. Under the hood, Galpin spokesperson Nathan Hoyt has confirmed to Autoblog that the Rocket employs a 5.0-liter V8 with a Whipple supercharger which can be called to attention with a six-speed manual gearbox. It took only a few months for the vehicle to go from conception to reality. Fisker showed Galpin President Beau Boeckmann early sketches at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and the two parties went from there. "When Henrik showed me his ideas, I got chills - it's literally the most beautiful Mustang I have ever seen," says Boeckmann in the company's release. Production is set to begin in December, with deliveries starting in early 2015. There's no set production total in mind for now, but Hoyt tells Autoblog that the price will be "just over $100,000." Scroll down to read all of the details about Fisker and Galpin's Rocket.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
