Recently imported to the USA, Customs duty paid, titled & registered as a historic vehicle in Maryland. Clear title in my name and can be registered for road use in any state. The Escort is originally a Left hand drive car, built by Ford for the European market and first registered in Macedonia on 12/30/1970. I have original papers from Macedonia and the original owners manual translated into their language also. It was imported to the UK a few years ago, where i purchased it from the 2nd owner in Cheshire. Engine & trans: original 1600cc Kent Crossflow 4 cyl, with 4 branch manifold, K&N filter, newer alternator & battery. Mated to standard 4 speed gearbox with recently replaced clutch & selector arm. Chassis: Front disc brakes, rear factory leaf springs with lowering blocks & drum brakes on the rear. Atlas short type rear axle (bigger & stronger than the typical "English" type axle, can handle major power upgrades). Open differential. 7J x13" Two Gates wheels with 185/60 tires.. Rear tires are brand new. Interior: Black fishnet Recaro RS seats, Original dash with 6 dial instrument cluster, functioning switches, heater, radio cassette, wipers etc.. (Even has the original floor mounted washer pump switch & dipped beam light switch. Original nice black carpet & rear seat bench (black cloth). Body: RUST FREE SHELL, No sunroof, all steel panels, Cibie Oscar spot lamps with covers, red painted backs. Some dings & blemishes and was repainted by a previous owner in the original red, however sanding swirl marks are visible through the paint close up. Having spent most of its life in a warmer, dryer climate than that of the UK, the chassis is rust free, however there are small spots of surface rust beginning around the edge of the hood. (see closeup pics). Note: the British license plate on the hood is just a sticker & can be removed. It has been driven well and is by no means a show car, but a good example of an all time classic. I am happy to answer any questions about the car via email, or over the phone if you email with your details. I can assist with delivery by trailer for an extra fee, or will accommodate your own shipping arrangements. On Jan-23-14 at 06:08:24 PST, seller added the following information: The car is currently stored off the ground in a heated garage during our winter blast here in Maryland! It runs and drives fine and all fluids are topped off with a fresh oil change, so its ready to roll out in Spring! |

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines
Fri, 25 Oct 2013The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.

This 1969 Ford F-100 has a Cadillac CTS-V engine lurking underhood
Fri, Jan 30 2015Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.
