Original owner, car was custom ordered and built.

I have all the original paperwork, includes: owners manual, bill sheet, window sticker, service record, prep center sheet, delivery checklist, vehicle PO and invoice, title app., key tags

I also have almost all service receipts that have been done on the car.  I am missing a few, but have most.  I have the following (other maintenance was done, this is just what I have receipt proof of):

                 General Maintenance Receipts - 98 (tires balanced & rotated), 99 (tires balanced & rotated), 00 (brake job, tires rotated), 01 (alignment, 2 new tires), 02                                                                      (other 2 new tires), 03 (brake job), 04 (tires balanced, flat repair, 2 new tires), 05 (other 2 new tires, registration), 06 (transmission                                                                        work, complete dealership tune up & servicing, tires rotated, engine check at dealership)

                 Inspection results - 99, 00, 02, 03, 04

                 Oil Changes (these were based on mileage) - 3/98, 5/98, 8/98, 10/98, 1/99, 3/99, 5/99, 8/99, 11/99, 3/00, 5/00, 10/00, 2/01, 4/01, 8/01, 9/01, 12/01, 6/02, 11/02, 4/03,                                                                                         10/03, 4/04, 10/04, 3/05

Recent Work (2013) - New battery, New fuel pump.

Work needed - turn signals are not working, also the door ajar sensor is messed up and registers that the door is always open, so the interior dome light stays on, which in turn                   runs the battery down.  So, to save the battery we have it disconnected right now.  These could be a minor issue, something as simple as messing with the fuses, just                not sure.  Will probably need some front end work, as it's making a little noise.  A/C needs servicing (might just need freon).  Will need tires (the ones on it have tread,                but the car has been sitting, so they are dry rotted).  We drive it around the yard when we move it, but wouldn't trust them on the road, it will need to be trailered even                though it runs.  Car has not been registered since 2005, title is clear.

I'm also listing car on Ebay Classifieds; if I get an offer there before the reserve is met here, I will be cancelling this auction.  Thanks!

Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.

2015 Ford Mustang production to begin on July 14? Not quite, says Ford

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Mustang6g.com believes that it has unlocked start date for 2015 Ford Mustang production citing a Ford dealer communiqué. According to the report, job one on the 2015 hardtop will allegedly start in just a few days, on July 14, although units that are known as "OK to Buy" won't enter production until September 9. The cars built between those dates are most likely final pre-production cars for the executive test fleet, and will likely include the cars we'll be driving at the media launch.
Sun worshippers, meanwhile, would seem to have a longer wait. Job one on the droptop supposedly isn't slated to start until September 14, with production models starting on October 27. As is the case with the hardtop, these final pre-pros are for the execs and media to test, while actual dealer orders will come from vehicles made after the October date.
After speaking to Ford, though, we wouldn't put a great deal of stock in those dates as reported. We reached out to Said Deep, Ford's North American Product Communications Manager.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
