Selling my 1997 Sport with 141372 miles on it. Ran into the back of a Dodge pickup and decided it was time to move on to something else. Car still will start and drive around the lot where its parked but the radiator is shot so it won't run long. Will need new radiator, fan, front end body panels, condenser, core support, header panel, passenger side headlight, both airbags, battery, and various other small parts. Most of the damage is above frame level as the car went under the back bumper.
Things I have done to the car:
- New motorcraft starter installed 2 months ago.
- Replaced everything in the A/C system with new parts except the evaporator core 2 years ago, and installed a new heater core in 2007.
- Cooling system has been flushed regularly.
- Transmission filter and fluid changed about 10,000 miles ago
- Amsoil is what I use in the engine and transmission
- Plugs and wires replaced with Motorcraft parts at 109000 miles.
- Both coil packs have been replaced with new ones.
- Serpentine belt new around 135000 miles.
- New water pump installed at 125000 miles
- New tensioner and idler pulleys installed at 127000 miles
- New fuel filter installed at 115000 miles.
- Dynomax DirectFit catalytic converters installed for better flow.
- Cat-back exhaust with single pipe that Ys to dual Flowmaster mufflers
- Both rear HO2S sensors replaced in the last 20000 miles.
- Flex plate replaced at 115000 miles.
- Aftermarket airfilter
- Window tint
- New upper and lower control arms with ball joints and alignment at 120000 miles and I had the alignment rechecked at 134000 miles.
- Rear sway bar end links replaced
- Ford Racing PI intake installed at 132000 miles due to factory intake splitting the coolant crossover.
I have done most of the work on the car myself and have most of the receipts for the parts that I installed and the work that has been done at other shops.
The car now has stock Sport/SC rims with P225/55R16 Firestone Firehawk tires - All 4 tires match and about half tread left. Title is a clear Texas title that I have in my possesion. Car is inspected to 12/13.
Vehicle is for sale locally so auction will be ended if sold.

2015 Ford Focus gets more Aston-y [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014With more and more members of the Ford brand adopting a new familial face, the Focus has been left looking like an odd man out. At the Geneva Auto Show, though, it properly rejoined the family, adopting the now familiar Aston Martin-ish grille that's proliferated throughout the range.
Overall, we're liking the refreshed Focus' look. Aside from the new grille, the headlights have been restyled and now look like elongated versions of the lamps on the Focus ST. Functionally, those headlamps are bi-xenon units, complete with an adaptive front lighting system. Out back, the rear retains the same overall look, which has been smoothed out for 2015.
In the cabin, the second-generation of Ford's much-maligned Sync system makes its debut. Sync 2, as it's called, is supposedly more intuitive than the first-gen system. Ford is promising "one-shot" navigation functions for the system. Saying "I'm hungry," should bring up a list of nearby restaurants. Of course, we'll be reserving final judgment until we can test the new system in person.
Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort
Fri, 24 May 2013Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?
