Here is an opportunity to own and drive a piece Ford history. There were lots of Escorts sold, but only a very limited number of S/R editions. With input from Jack Roush, the Ford special vehicles team made this a one-year only project, the S/R (street racer) was only sold publicly in the year 2000, with only 2000 total produced........1,000 Sulfer yellow, 500 red, 500 black. Factory updates over the regular ZX-2 include:

Iceman intake B & M short throw shifter

Leather shift boot Centerforce clutch

Visteon PCM Tokico struts

Eibach lowering springs Borla exhaust

205/55R15 tires Exclusive daizy wheels

Blue Ford valve cover 150 mph speedometer

S/R seats and mats front & rear disc brakes

This vehicle has been in our family for the last 10 years and has been maintained with regular oil changes. Rear brakes have been completely rebuilt just 200 miles ago, front rotors and pads about a year ago, the battery is less than 2 years old, and the tires have only a couple thousand miles on them. Runs and drives great. Uses no oil and has no fluid leaks. Every thing on the car works well except the passenger window motor is tired. Odometer currently shows 134,500 miles, but the car looks and drives like half of that! I don't wish to have the car repaired and would prefer to sell it as is. This allows someone to do the repairs and still have a great driver at a very affordable price. After-market front bumper and fog light will cost right around $200.00 and I had a body shop estimate of $700.00 for the labor to repair the dent, replace the front bumper, and do the paint-work. Email any questions and look at all the pictures to fully understand the quality of this vehicle and the repairs needed. Car is fully drivable and inspected so you could come get it and drive it home. My mechanic says it would pass inspection with the removal of the second fog light. Apparently in PA they both need to be functional or removed. My sales requirements are pretty simple. I need a non-refundable deposit of $200.00 within two days of auction end. The balance is due within 10 days and may be presented when you pick up the car if it is in the form of cash, certified check, Postal Money orders. No personal checks accepted unless they are mailed to me and cleared before delivery of car. Again, check out all the pictures and happy bidding.

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:

Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
