Optional brushed aluminum interior trim appearance pkg ($600.00 dealer option, which makes this an even rarer car)as you'll see in the photos. Full "Ford Racing Certification" including VIN #."

This car is in Excellent Condition, inside and out.  I listed many NEW things that were added replaced or upgraded at the beginning of the CONDITION section.  There are a few paint chips that have been filled in with the appropriate color-matched paint...the only thing missing is clear coat to be added to those minor paint touch-ups.  The tires only have about 6,000 miles on them.  The car came with yellow wheels but I decided to go back to the OEM SVT wheels instead, which makes the car more valuable (You'll see them in the photos). Many people do not realize that this car came with many things that the regular FOCUS did not have.  The engine was reworked by COSWORTH (World Famous for making Formula 1 Race Engines) to increase horsepower from 134 to 172. Plus they added a Variable Valve intake cam, gave it stiffer lifter springs and bigger valves.  The Focus also comes with a lowered suspension. Also this is the only Focus to have 4 wheel disc brakes for years 2002-04. The other Focus cars had drum brakes on the rear and smaller discs on the front.  I just replaced the original TOKICO struts with Ford Racing struts upfront and the Ford Racing shocks in back (all 4 came as a kit, so they're perfectly matched).  The A/C went out about 4 weeks ago, so I had the Compressor and Extractor (Condensor) and pressure valves replaced. The Catalytic converter went out about 18 months ago, so I upgraded it to a low restriction Borla designed catalytic converter and had the entire exhaust reworked.  It now has a deep throaty sound but not obnoxiously loud like some of those other tuner mufflers.... It really produces a unique exotic sound, kind of European.  You were probably wondering why my price is high on this car... Well, for one, it is the rarest variant of that year SVT Focus....I included the website link in the previous CONDITION section. Secondly, I have replaced and upgraded several things on this car, so it performs better than new.  Once you drive it, you'll see it is a unique performance car that keeps your adrenaline pumping. It has really tight handling and is very responsive. As a bonus, I'll also include a silver "Sensoro" brand radar detector ($150.00 value) (works great...you'll need it. It has saved me from several tickets), and a special limited edition sunshade for the inside windshield that matches color of car. Finally, what makes this stand apart from a regular Focus is that it comes with HID headlights. Back in 2003, not all of the Focus SVT's came with the HID headlights.  It was a dealer optional upgrade. This Focus has them. 


RARITY Proven: On the internet, go to "racing.ford.com"  then click on Enthusiasts, then on collector-vehicles, then on svt, then on focus-2003.
                        Scroll down and you'll see that the 4 door in Sonic Blue was the rarest model or variant for 2003.

Truckmakers squabbling over who can sell Jimmy Fallon a pickup

Sat, 08 Mar 2014

Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.

Ford reserving 50th Anniversary Mustangs for service members

Tue, Dec 16 2014

Think getting your hands on one of the 1,964 50th Anniversary Ford Mustangs is hard as a civilian? Imagine how tough it might be for the Mustang fanatics in our nation's military. Perhaps recognizing this fact, Ford Emerging Market Services and the Overseas Military Sales Corporation (the only Ford-authorized retailer on the military's bases) ran a raffle, with the winners receiving the opportunity to purchase one of the limited-edition muscle cars. Ford EMS and OMS received 300 entries to the raffle, although with only eight 50th Anniversary Stangs to hand out, we imagine there were quite a lot of disappointed soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. "We are pleased to offer limited-edition anniversary Mustangs to members of our military through our Military Appreciation Program, and we are delighted at the response it's receiving," Doug Walczak, EMS' fleet sales manager, said. The first Mustang was delivered to Army Maj. Del Boyer, shown above. While Maj. Boyer took delivery in New York, the raffle was open to servicemembers both at home and abroad.

Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting

Tue, 13 May 2014

It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
