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.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, BMW i8, Ford F-150 win 2015 Green Car Awards in DC [w/video]

Tue, Jan 27 2015

There were three shiny trophies handed out at the Washington Auto Show last week by Green Car Journal, and they went to three different examples of what "green" means in the automotive industry today. The Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel won the award for the 2015 Green SUV of the Year, the BMW i8 was named the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year and the Ford F-150 took the 2015 Green Car Technology Award honor. There is a case to be made that the aluminum body of the new Ford truck will make a bigger impact in the overall fuel usage in the US than almost any other vehicle, given the numbers of F-150s that Ford sells each year. The B20 biodiesel-capable Jeep gets up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. And the i8 puts all sorts of new, fuel-saving technologies into an attractive package. Looking over the winners, and the list of finalists you can see in our photo gallery, and you can see that the definition of green is expanding every year. You can watch Green Car Journal editor Ron Cogan hand out the 2015 awards in the video below and we'll for sure be paying attention to what wins next year. 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year and Green Car Technology Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has named the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel its 2015 Green SUV of the Year™ and the BMW i8 its 2015 Luxury Green Car of the YearÂ™, with the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 earning the magazine's 2015 Green Car Technology AwardÂ™. Winners were determined by a jury of Green Car Journal editors and automotive experts. The prestigious awards were announced in Washington, D.C. today at a Green Car AwardsÂ™ press conference held during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day at the Washington Convention Center. "These are truly commendable vehicles representing the 'best-of-the-best' in so many ways," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "The auto industry's very early focus on small cars and efficiency-for-environment tradeoffs has evolved to now include a more dynamic field of 'greener' models in all vehicle classes. Those wanting greater efficiency or better environmental performance are no longer constrained by limited choices or vehicle types that fall outside their top purchase preferences.

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.
