7.3 Diesel - Custom Limited With $18k In Upgrades! on 2040-cars
Amarillo, Texas, United States
This is just an awesome Excursion. I looked everywhere for the right 7.3 and finally found it. I bought it locally from a friend who owns a dealership/body shop. It has been a blast to own and drive daily, but my business is expanding and I need a different vehicle to hit the road. If you are looking for an adventure-ready 7.3 where all the big expensive stuff has already been done for you, this is it!
The venerable and much-sought-after 7.3 is stock and strong. It runs clean with no blowback or other issues...this has been confirmed by 3 diesel mechanics (one of whom is the Ford diesel guru in this area). Just breaking in at 167k and has many, many more miles to go. It has never been modded...though a 4-inch exhaust, cold-air intake, and tune would make this thing scream...or get great mileage...your call. The body is beautiful. Straight and stable with no wrecks or dings. It has none of the rust issues that plague many other Ex's. I cannot tell you how many of them I looked at that were buyer-worthy except that they were rusting out. This is the least-rusty Ex that I have ever seen. Check out the pics of the underbody. I had a Yakima rack on it and would highly recommend one over the stock setup as it inherently rubs the top like sandpaper...but I've included the stock rack in the back of the truck anyway. This Excursion is purpose-built to carry you and your family through just about anything. It is a functional beast with over $18,000 invested the following upgrades:
I have 100% eBay feedback for a reason. I treat buyers as I would want to be treated. One of the most frustrating things when I was Excursion shopping was driving forever to look at a "like-new" truck that turned out to be anything but. Though this Excursion is in amazing condition compared to most others out there, it does have some inevitable signs of being 13-years old. In full disclosure, I have taken pictures of all superficial wear...I prefer for you to be completely informed and wish to prevent any unpleasant surprises. If you are interested in this truck, please feel free to contact me for those and other additional photos. In addition, these are the only noteworthy issues that I intended to fix them but never got around to it:
If you're looking for a beast of a 7.3 Excursion that is still road-worthy, I don't believe you will find many as nice as this. Or if you're looking for an amazing zombie-apocalypse base camp, I don't believe you will find many as worthy as this. A lot of time, energy, and money has gone into it. If you're looking at this ad, you probably already know how rare and special this one is. My goal is for the buyer to take ownership and be pleasantly surprised by its condition based on my information. Please feel free to contact me for anything other than lowball offers. God bless and good luck bidding! Todd Oh yeah, I reserve the right to end this auction early in the case of a local sale. |

Galpin Auto Sports and Fisker turn the Mustang into a Rocket in LA [w/video]
Thu, Nov 20 2014Galpin Auto Sport and Henrik Fisker made big promises about the Rocket before its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show today, calling it the "ultimate American muscle car." Now that this 725-horsepower carbon-fiber Ford Mustang has officially been revealed, we've now got a chance to see if their vision backs up all the bluster. The Rocket is based off the latest 2015 Mustang, but the entire exterior design has been substantially reworked by Fisker. "This is a project born out of passion, it's a dream come true, to have the opportunity to 'touch' a Mustang and apply my design ideas to it," he says in the model's announcement. The biggest changes come up front, where Fisker has added a gaping hexagonal grille with a polished bar running and two nearly hidden driving lights at the top corners. Long nostrils run down each side of the hood, taking their inspiration from the 1968 Shelby GT500. The Rocket's design also emphasizes its scalloped sides, which run back to functional ducts at the rear to cool the Brembo Grand Turismo brakes. When checking out the Rocket from the rear, it's easy to spot the wider fenders that are beautifully blended into the integrated spoiler. The interior has been left mostly alone beyond some eye-grabbing red leather and carbon-fiber trim. Under the hood, Galpin spokesperson Nathan Hoyt has confirmed to Autoblog that the Rocket employs a 5.0-liter V8 with a Whipple supercharger which can be called to attention with a six-speed manual gearbox. It took only a few months for the vehicle to go from conception to reality. Fisker showed Galpin President Beau Boeckmann early sketches at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and the two parties went from there. "When Henrik showed me his ideas, I got chills - it's literally the most beautiful Mustang I have ever seen," says Boeckmann in the company's release. Production is set to begin in December, with deliveries starting in early 2015. There's no set production total in mind for now, but Hoyt tells Autoblog that the price will be "just over $100,000." Scroll down to read all of the details about Fisker and Galpin's Rocket.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Recharge Wrap-up: Ford 1.0L EcoBoost a hit in Europe; Build a tiny inverter, win $1 million
Mon, Aug 11 2014In Europe, Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is the best-selling turbocharged gasoline engine. The three-cylinder motor powers 20 percent of new Fords sold in Europe. Earlier this year, it won its third International Engine of the Year award, and between January and June, it was sold in about 120,000 cars. So far this year, 38 percent of Fords sold in the Netherlands, 35 percent in Denmark and 32 percent in Switzerland have been powered by the 1.0-liter EcoBoost. The engine's turbocharger spins at 248,000 rpm, and provides 24 psi of pressure. The engine produces up to 138 horsepower, depending on the version. Read more in the press release below. When lithium-ion battery packs are retired from the road, remanufacturing, repurposing, and recycling are worthwhile options, according to a study by Mineta Transportation Institute. The study included a cost-benefit analysis of those three options, and found remanufacturing to be the best route. To get the most out of them, batteries should be tested and have their damaged cells replaced then put back to use. Repurposing is the second best option, using the remaining available charge for something besides cars. Recycling on its own isn't profitable, but it could make economic sense with "increased technological breakthroughs." Learn more at Recycling International or download the report here. A smaller inverter for EVs can win you $1 million. The Little Box Challenge is an open competition to build a power inverter with a density of at least 50 watts per cubic inch. Google and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) are offering the hefty prize to the team that builds the inverter with the highest power density within an enclosed volume of 40 cubic inches. Teams must register by September 30. Read more at Green Car Congress or learn more at the Little Box Challenge website.
