Year:2002 Mileage:197975
Location:

 Hunting season is over and I am selling my Ford Excursion 4x4. This is the diesel with the good 7.3 liter motor and the automatic transmission. This truck has a fully Rhino lined exterior. It's tough as nails from front to back, top to bottom. You can drive it through a thicket and not scratch it. There is nothing wrong with the vehicle. It starts, runs, shifts and stops as it should. It gets around 20 mpg. It does not leak or use oil. The engine is dry as a bone as is the bottom of the vehicle. It has a four inch exhaust from the turbo back. There is no rust. It is power everything and everything works as it should. It  has a sound system in it too complex for me to fully utilize. In other words a really good one. with GPS, etc. Has a cd player and a i pad music hookup. It has a top of the line alarm system and a auto start that will start the vehicle from 100 yards away or more if you wish. Great for when it's cold or hot outside. The leather seats are in good not perfect shape. The driver seat has a hole in the leather from getting in and out, pretty normal and easily repaired.. It has front and back ice cold a/c and tinted windows. There are three seats in it, the rear one can be easily removed and the back seat laid down. Plenty of room to haul about anything you please or to sleep in if you wish.. I have very heavy duty hard rubber floor mats and back mat to protect the floors. I put nerf bars on it to make it easier to get in and out. The vehicle has real good 8 ply Michelin tires on the aluminum rims and the spare is new. I would not be afraid to get in the Excursion and travel anywhere in the U.S.A. I put on plenty of photos. Buyer must pay in cash or cashiers check within 7 days. $1000. to be paid by paypal within 48 hours of auction close. Buyer is responsible for shipping or you can come get it. If you fly in to drive it home I will meet you at DFW airport. Clear title in hand. This is a good clean Excursion with the 7.3 diesel and no mechanical issues. Any questions, ask.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:

Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
