1997 Ford Taurus, Needs Repaired on 2040-cars
Sharon, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Vehicle sold as is ...the body is in overall good condition, with some rust underneath from sitting but nothing catastrophic.
Rocker panels were recently replaced due to rusted mounts. No collision history that I'm aware of. I purchased it from the original owner in 2007. The mileage was 83,060 at the time, so I only put 14,000 miles on it in 5 years. I always took good care of the car mechanically and oil was changed regularly. Current mileage is 97,252 miles. The interior in good condition. There is a small cigarette burn in the driver's seat. The car was smoked in, but it's not horrible and it would look great with a good detailing. The car has sat for 2 years. A water pump leaked and the engine overheated, cracking the head and antifreeze got into the bottom end. My intention was to rebuild or replace the motor, but never had the time or the money. Unlike many Tauruses, this one never had transmission problems. I serviced the transmission regularly. From sitting the tires and battery are shot, so it needs tires and a battery as well. This is a good car for someone mechanically-minded who might happen to have a spare Taurus 3.0L DOHC engine laying around and the time and/or resources to swap or rebuild an engine. There aren't too many of these floating around with less than 100k mileage. They were good cars, and ran forever ...unless you overheated them. I'm listing it for $399 firm ...only because there are several local salvage yards that will pay me exactly $400 for it, and they'll pick it up. I'd rather see it back on the road again for somebody though. |

Takata air bag recall list
Tue, Dec 9 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
2016 Ford Mustang SVT hides big power under its domed hood
Tue, 17 Jun 2014With a number of 2015 Ford Mustang versions finally available to configure, the fun of speculating about next year's high-performance 'Stang can now begin. It looks like Ford has something seriously fun planned too. One of our spy photographers just snapped some fresh pics of the 2016 Mustang SVT, which is believed to be hiding the final body shape under all of that heavy camouflage.
Ford clearly doesn't want prying eyes looking at its new pride and joy. It would be hard to put much more obfuscation on a car than this one wears - it even has mesh baffles around the exhausts to conceal how many there are and panels over the wheels to hide their design. However, the Blue Oval can't keep everything a secret. The biggest clue that something special is hidden underneath is the massive hood bulge and vent in front of it. Clearly, whatever is under there is hungry for cool air. The shape of the camo indicates that there may be fender vents on each side, and there are also obscured outlets behind the front wheels likely to pull cool air through the brakes. At the rear, the concealment does its job, making it hard to observe any big changes. The fact that Ford wants it kept such a secret might indicate something, though.
A few photos of the interior show far less cover than the outside. You can easily make out the model's 6,500 rpm redline with a possible 7,000 rpm over-rev function. The big Recaro sport seats also look quite supportive.
