Up for auction. I have a 1988 Ford Crown Vic . I purchased this car for my son to use but he travels too far away so he bought a new small car. This car is originally from Florida ( all paperwork included). The owner passed away and the car was sold and brought to Ontario Canada. To the best of my knowledge the car has been in this country for almost 3 years.

The car is in very good condition, it does have 2 very small surface rust spots starting where the tail light cones meet the rear quarter panels but they are very minor, the car also has a very small dent on the rear driverside door ( perhaps a shopping cart ?) the wheel well trim is missing from the rear right side. there are also a small scrape mark on the right front corner which only removed a little paint from the filler panel between the bumper and the front fender. The car has been rust proofed and is evident under the car as well as under the doors and door jams. The paint is very good for the age of the car and the chrome is almost perfect The interior has what appears to be a small mark in the drivers seat ( not a tear )  but otherwise is in very good shape. the car is fully loaded and all power options work well except the a/c , there is no oil leaks around the clutch on the compressor and all lines appear to be in good shape so my guess is the a/c only needs a charge. The car was regularly serviced and has had the following new parts installed.... New Battery, new alternator, new rear U joint, new brake lines , rotors, ignition module and a complete tuneup. The engine is a 5.0 liter EFI V8 and runs like new . The transmission is a 4 speed automatic and shifts very smooth. The car also has a rated 6000 pound towing hitch as well as a transmission cooler. I have no reserves on driving this car anywhere in North America ! It is very smooth on the highway and has lots of power !

Please dont hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or would like more pictures of the car !

In the province of Ontario you must certify a car to be safe and road worthy as well as an emissions test.... I have had both done and the car passed with flying colors !

Buyer is responsible for shipping the car or pick up from my driveway.

This car is for sale locally and if sold the auction will be cancelled .

Winning bidder must put a 500.00 non refundable deposit via paypal within 48 hours. Full payment is required within 7 days of auction end. 

NOTE .... IF YOUR BID WINS THIS CAR, THIS IS A BINDING AGREEMENT ! ANY BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN A FEEDBACK OF 5 MUST CONTACT ME OR MAY BE REMOVED FROM BIDDING ON THIS CAR !

No Warranty of any kind applys with this car.

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.

Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.

280-bhp Elemental RP1 revealed, now with bike-engine option

Thu, Jun 26 2014

The Elemental RP1 might be Britain's next big boutique roadster success story. Designed by a team with Formula One experience, it aims to mix road car drivability with racecar performance in a single, adaptable package weighing less than 1,000 pounds. It was first previewed a few weeks ago, but the secrecy has finally disappeared due to its upcoming debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The backbone of the RP1 is a carbon fiber and aluminum tub onto which the front and rear subframes bolt on. Inside, it has an F1-like, feet-up driving position that allows for additional underfloor aerodynamic aids to improve downforce. Despite its hardcore nature, Elemental says that it wants the car to be very user friendly. Buyers should be able to drive the RP1 to the track, adjust it with some wrenches, go racing and drive it home. The company even claims the storage areas to either side of the engine offer enough room for a helmet and other racing gear. Hopefully, buyers don't crash, though, otherwise they might be stuck. Elemental is adding two more engine options for the RP1, as well. In addition to the previously announced tuned Ford 2.0-liter EcoBoost with 280 horsepower, buyers can also choose a upgraded version of Ford's three-cylinder 1.0-liter EcoBoost or a model aimed at pure track use with a 999cc Honda Fireblade motorcycle engine. The 2.0-liter uses a six-speed sequential manual gearbox, and a limited-slip differential and alternate gear sets are available as additional options. The first RP1s built will be pure racers for the 2015 season, and the first road cars will follow in the early summer of next year. Pricing isn't set yet, but scroll down for more details and full specs of Britain's latest feather light car for road and track. Introducing the Elemental Rp1 Press Release: 23/6/2014 British sports car manufacturer, Elemental Motor Company Limited, today released further details of their new and innovative, road legal track car, the Rp1. The Rp1 is an open top, road legal, mid engined sports car that incorporates state of the art road and race car technologies. Designed, Engineered and Built by a team with decades of experience in the Formula One and Supercar industries, it brings the concept of a road legal track car firmly into the 21st Century. The Rp1 will be revealed to the public for the first time, this weekend, at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it will located in the Moving Motor Show tent "First Glance" display.
