Daily driver condition, well maintained, drives and runs perfect.  Almost everything works perfectly, its easier to list the things that don't.  The backup light switch has got a problem, it shorts out the fuse when you put it in reverse and that fuse also controls the turn signals so the backup light switch has been disconnected for a couple of years.  I'm sure a junkyard would yield a replacement but I haven't bothered.  The transfer case indicator lights aren't working, it shows when you're in 4X4 mode but not the individual 4H, 4L lights.  They were working until I replaced the transfer case so I suspect the new case internal switch isn't quite right.  Odometer currently shows 4032 miles, clearly the real mileage is in excess of its mechanical limit.


Transmission was rebuilt approximately 50K miles ago, the aforementioned transfer case about the same time.  All of the suspension bushings have been replaced with urethane so everything articulates great.  Shocks are James Duff, about 40K on them.  Door handles shaved, two key fobs included that pop the doors, works perfectly and been very reliable, back lift gate still has key hole and handle.  Interior was redone a few years back in the original color scheme but in vinyl instead of the original cloth, carpet replaced at the same time.  Engine starts, runs great, gets about 20 MPG around town and out on the freeway, passes emissions inspection easily if needed (not anymore in Texas, its over 25 years old).  Front brake calipers replaced about 10K miles ago, radiator about 30K miles ago, e-brake cables about 40K miles ago.  Tires are getting close to the wear bars, if I were keeping it I'd be considering new pretty soon.  All the lenses, taillights, headlights, turn signal indicators were replaced so they are all in perfect condition.  Window glass is all in perfect condition, no chips anywhere.  I daily drove it for many years and maintained it as such, I wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

Weak spot is some rust.  Pictures show the worst spots, nothing structural.

Buyer MUST pick up the vehicle by June 10th or earlier.  I reserve the right to end the auction early.

2015 Ford Mustang stars in bizarrely awesome '80s aerobics video

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

For reasons we can't comprehend, here's a music video starring the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang and a number of dancers dressed and styled in the most stereotypically 1980s way possible. The dancers then take part in a male-versus-female dance off. Again, we've no idea why it exists.
It's weird, and for the second time in two weeks, we're sat at our computer wondering, "What are we watching?" That said, it does show the new Mustang from a number of angles, and it's one of the first car-related YouTube videos we've seen that's available in a 4K, ultra-high-def stream.
Take a look below, and let us know what you think in Comments.

Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.

Autoblog's guilty pleasure cars

Tue, Mar 10 2015

Guilty pleasures are part of life – don't even try to pretend like you don't have one (or two, or six). In the non-automotive space, this could come down to that secret playlist in your iPhone of songs you'll only listen to when you're alone; or think of that one TV show you really do love, but won't admit to your friends. I've got plenty, and so do you. Going back to cars, here's a particularly juicy one for me: several years ago, I had a mad crush on the very last iteration of the Cadillac DTS. Oh yes, the front-wheel-drive, Northstar V8-powered sofa-on-wheels that was the last remaining shred of the elderly-swooning days of Cadillac's past. Every time I had the chance to drive one, I was secretly giddy. Don't hate me, okay? These days, the DTS is gone, but I've still got a mess of other cars that hold a special place in my heart. And in the spirit of camaraderie, I've asked my other Autoblog editors to tell me some of their guilty pleasure cars, as well – Seyth Miersma, as you can see above, has a few choice emotions to share about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Read on to find out what cars make us secretly happy. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG This decadent convertible is the epitome of the guilty pleasure. It's big, powerful, fairly heavy and it's richly appointed inside and out. It's a chocolate eclair with the three-pointed star on the hood. Given my druthers, I'd take the SL65 AMG, which delivers 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. That output is borderline absurd for this laid-back convertible. I don't care. You don't need dessert. Sometimes you just crave it. The SL line is about the feel you get on the road. The roof is open. The air, sun and engine sounds all embrace you. It's the same dynamic you could have experienced in a Mercedes a century ago, yet the SL gives you the most modern of luxuries. An Airscarf feature that warms my neck and shoulders through a vent embedded in the seat? Yes, please. Sure, it's an old-guy car. Mr. Burns and Lord Grantham are probably too young and hip for an SL65. I don't care. This is my guilty pleasure. Release the hounds. – Greg Migliore Senior Editor Ford Flex I drove my first Flex in 2009 when my mother let me borrow hers for the summer while I was away at college. The incredibly spacious interior made moving twice that summer a breeze, and the 200-mile trips up north were quite comfortable.
