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 adding stop-start to all major model lines

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.

Verizon buys Telogis in connected vehicle market push

Wed, Jun 22 2016

(Note/disclaimer: We are owned by Verizon, by way of AOL. This gives us no inside track whatsoever when it comes to news.) With a lot of tech companies and automakers staking their claims in the connected car space, now there are signs that others are looking to move in, too. Today, telecoms giant Verizon announced that it is acquiring Telogis, a California-based company that develops cloud-based solutions for mobile workforces, and specifically telematics, compliance and navigation software used by Ford, Volvo, GM and other car companies, as well as Apple and AT&T. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, although we'll try to find out. Considering that Verizon in 2015 reported full-year revenues of $131.6 billion, the price would have to be very high to be considered "material" and may not be made public for some time, if ever. Telogis in its time as a startup raised a substantial amount of money, just over $126 million in all, including $93 million in 2013, supposedly ahead of an IPO, all from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Back in 2013 when KPCB made its investment (which was the first from a VC firm in the company), Telogis told TechCrunch it was profitable and forecasting revenues of $100 million annually for the year. It's not clear what size those revenues are now, but if it was on the same growth trajectory as before the funding, sales would be around $150 million annually, with profitability, at the moment. Other investors include some very notable strategics: the investment arm of General Motors, and Fontinalis Partners, which also invests in Lyft and was co-founded by Bill Ford, the executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company. Before the acquisition, Verizon actually had a business in fleet management and telematics; in fact, the two companies competed against each other for business from the trucking and other industries. Verizon Telematics, as the business is called, is active in 40 countries. But in a way, Verizon buying Telogis is a sign that the latter may have proved to be the more superior, and the one with the key customer deals.

Ford supports bid for Detroit Rallycross race with Motown-minded Fiesta ST vid

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

As Ford continues its cheerleading effort to help bring the 2014 Summer X Games to its hometown of Detroit, MI, it has released footage of its 2014 Fiesta ST Rallycross car on location at some of the city's well-known landmarks. This video appears to have been shot around the same time as the previous X Games Detroit video was made, but it focuses 100-percent on rally car action.
With Ford Racing driver Andreas Eriksson behind the wheel, this Fiesta ST lays down some serious rubber atop Detroit's Cobo Hall parking structure, at Belle Isle and around the Michigan Central Depot. Detroit isn't alone in the bid for a three-year X Games contract as Chicago, Austin and Charlotte are also hoping to play host. The winning host city is expected to be announced this summer. Scroll down for Ford's two-minute video showing the Fiesta ST Rallycrossing through the Motor City.
