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. |

Watch live as Mark Fields is officially named Ford's next CEO
Thu, 01 May 2014We've heard rumblings of a changing of the guard at Ford, and this live stream from The Blue Oval itself is set to confirm the rumors: Alan Mulally will be succeeded by the automaker's current Chief Operating Officer, Mark Fields.
Mulally, who is 68 years old, has served at the head of Ford for eight years, and his official retirement date will be July 1st, 2014. Fields, who is 53 this year, has been with Ford for 25 years and has been groomed to take the helm from Mulally for the last several of those years.
There's an official press release that you can read, but if you're more of a visual person, you're welcome to watch the live video feed of the announcement down below.
This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car
Thu, 02 Jan 2014You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5
Tue, Oct 4 2016We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.
