Rare, One of a kind Natural Gas Vehicle - Sporty, Reliable and Very Economical - NO RESERVE

Equipped with EPA Certified Altech-Eco Bi-fuel CNG Conversion. The Focus operates on either gasoline or CNG (compressed natural gas) with the simple push of a button. With the lower cost of CNG at the pump and 32-35 mpg on the highway, this little beauty has an incredibly low operating cost. The EPA Certified natural gas conversion system from Altech-Eco was installed by CleanFuel Conversions at the end of 2008. We originally paid about $23,000 for the car, but the current Blue Book value on the Focus without the CNG conversion is around $6,000. The Altech-Eco conversion was a another $10,000. CleanFuel Conversions has been performing CNG conversions in Austin, Texas for over 6 years. We have delivered almost 400 conversions. This Focus was one of our company vehicles. We used it primarily as a demo vehicle and, because it is just so cheap to drive, to travel to trade shows or customer locations around the country.

The system from Altech-Eco really is a clever design utilizing a machined adapter plate between the head and intake manifold instead of the drilling/taping and rubber fuel hoses found on most bi-fuel conversions. The fuel pressure regulator is mounted in the rear and only a low pressure fuel line runs past the passenger compartment to the engine. The regulator is an ITT Conoflow, one of the most reliable fuel pressure regulators on the market. The fuel injectors are Bosch. Overall, the installation is very professional and includes a 18" x 36" 8.1 GGE Lincoln Type 4 lightweight composite fuel cylinder mounted in the truck that will get over 200 miles on CNG before having to switch back to gasoline. The carbon fiber tank was new when installed and is good for another 15 years. Sure the tank takes up some trunk space, but there is still a lot of room left behind the tank. With both fuels, the car has a range of almost 600 miles. The car runs great on either fuel.

Fun To Drive
Unlike most NGVs and almost all EPA certified coupes/sedans, this car is just plain fun to drive. The SES trim level includes an extra sway bar and a very sporty feeling suspension. The tires are Pirelli and they still have good tread. Plus, it is a 5 speed and there is almost no difference in performance on CNG. The heated leather bucket seats are firm, but comfortable.

Eligible for Financial Incentives
As an EPA Certified conversion, the Focus is eligible for most available tax credits and rebates. No state tax credit has been taken on this vehicle.

Excellent Well-Maintained Condition
I've driven the car to both coasts on CNG. In fact almost all the miles are highway miles on CNG. Besides brakes and tires, about the only repairs ever required was a catalytic converter replacement. The oil has been changed regularly and I have always used a full synthetic. About the only signs of wear are a few light scratches on the driver's door panel and a piece of the plastic on the console is broken. The piece can be purchased on ebay for about $40. If I were keeping the car, I'd probably replace it. There's really nothing else it needs. This has been a great car for me and I hate to lose it. I just simply have two many vehicles and need to sell a couple. Since the Focus conversion is no longer available, I need to keep other vehicles for demo purposes and will let this one go.

Warranty
I'm so confident that the new owner will completely satisfied with the condition and performance of this vehicle that I am willing to offer a 1 year warranty.

And best of all, CHEAP GAS

Feel free to call 512-289-9799 with questions or to arrange to see or test drive the vehicle. The vehicle is currently in Austin, Texas.

Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.

California Man Reunited 33 Years Later With Thunderbird

Wed, Sep 3 2014

A California man was at a loss for words when he was reunited with his prized 1964 Ford Thunderbird on Tuesday, 33 years after it was stolen from a bar parking lot. Gary Chartrand could hardly believe how well his old Thunderbird held up in the last three decades. The odometer had only added about 1,000 miles from when he last saw the car back in the 1980s. "A few bumps and bruises but boy, not much changed," Chartrand told KOVR. Chartrand bought the car as a present to himself after finalizing his divorce from his wife of 10 years in 1981. It disappeared one night from the parking lot of a Sacramento bar where he was working. Police found Chartrand's car 750 miles north in Washington State. They have no leads on who might have stolen the classic car. Related Gallery Buying An Older Car: Five Things To Watch Out For

Ford set to target pre-school market with next F-150 variant

Tue, Jun 17 2014

How do you build a strong group of loyalists from the next generation of American drivers? You start em' young. Ford has taken that lesson to heart, as we can see in the first batch of images of the company's new entry to the pre-school market, the Power Wheels F-150. This particular example was caught returning from testing around Ford's base of operations in Dearborn, MI – covered in tiny little bits of camouflage, too. Now, this could very well end up being a collaboration between Power Wheels and Ford. Then again, it could just be some bored engineers that decided to troll the local congregation of spy photographers, who earlier today captured images of the next Focus RS and SVT Mustang. Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cool. Take a look up top for images of the new Power Wheels F-150.
