WARNING!!! PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SUMMARY BEFORE YOU CONSIDER BIDDING ON THIS VEHICLE!!!!!!! I'm selling my 1992 Ford Crown Victoria LX I recently purchased due to it needing major engine and frame work that I have neither the time or money to invest in it and believe it should be parted out! The vehicle does run and drive but sometimes wants to stall out after a warm start and idles roughly, sometimes very roughly when warmed up. There also seems to be a strong smell of gasoline under the hood and under the vehicle plus there is some residual gasoline coming out of the tailpipe when the car is started cold. I've been told it could be bad fuel injectors and/or bad camshafts since the 92 models had issues with loose cam lobes. I have replaced the following items: spark plugs and wires, fuel filter, oil and filter change, MAF sensor, TPS sensor, IAC valve, air filter, and PCV valve, plus the AC was converted to R134A by the previous owner and does blow cold but takes a few minutes. I have stopped driving it due to this and am strongly recommending the vehicle be towed to its new home. Also the frame is severely rusted with a portion of the front frame behind the passenger front wheel rusted almost completely through. I've included pics of the rust underneath, which is extensive and very bad. That's why I am also recommending that the car be parted out instead of fixed because the rust is too extensive and very thick and the engine problems may be cost prohibitive. The air bag light and ABS light are both on due to some faults in their system. I disabled the airbag system (removed the wiring from the clockspring) and unplugged the front crash sensors. I also removed the ABS controller due to it being faulty.  I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH THE FRAME AND MOTOR! The winning bidder is responsible for picking up the vehicle or to have the vehicle shipped to their home. I have a low reserve price set also; message me on ebay if you would like to know the reserve price. Please read this summary BEFORE you bid and if there are any questions please by all means ask!!!

Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.

Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
