This auction is for 1984 Ford Mustang SVO. This car is equipped with the 2.3 Turbocharged 4 Cylinder, 5 Speed Manual Trans, factory 4 wheel disc brakes, factory 16 inch wheels, Leather, Sunroof and more. This is a very original SVO which had the same owner since 1992. The car does run and drive but has been sitting since the year 2000 so it will need some work to be considered a daily driver. I bought the car with the intention of restoring it but haven't had the time to devote to it. Here's some more detailed information. The car did not pass the strict California emissions test therefore the car cannot be sold to a resident of the state of California, NO EXCEPTIONS!. BIDDING IS OPEN ONLY TO NON-CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.
Mechanical: As stated the car does run and drive. I have driven the car on a handfull of occassions and here is what I've observed. The engine starts easily and runs well. There is no smoking, knocking, overheating or odd noises. The car will occassionally hesitate on acceleration. I don't know if this is an issue with the turbo or something else. Turbo does kick in and work. The 5 speed trans will sometimes grind going into 2nd gear. If you don't shift too quickly it works fine. It will grind if you try to downshift into 2nd at a high speed. Transmission and clutch work fine other than the 2nd gear issue. Cooling fan doesn't seem to work. I never let the temp go higher than half way but the fan didn't come on at that point. Front end will need some attention. Noisy going over bumps. Brakes work fine. The tires look good but I'm sure they are quite old.
Exterior: The body and paint look good. There are no dents or rust on the body. The paint on the front bumper is scraped. The winshield has a large crack and will need to be replaced.
Interior: Interior is pretty nice for the age. Seats are good shape with no tears. Dash is solid with no cracks. The car has a sunroof which leaks and has damaged the front section of the headliner. Overall a nice interior.
Overall this is a great car to fix up and return to its former glory or perhaps drop a V8 in it.
Terms: As stated above because the vehicle did not pass the California emmisions inspection buyers must be in a state other than California. The vehicle will need to be towed or trailered from its current location in San Fancisco , CA. A nonrefundable deposit of $500 is due via Paypal within 24 hours of the auctions end. The balance is due within 7 days and the car must be picked up within 10 days.

2018 Ford Expedition spied looking stylish
Tue, Sep 6 2016The Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator got a cool reception for their 2015 warmed-over redesign. But with big, high-riding vehicles once again in vogue, Ford is pushing ahead with a ground-up redesign of its biggest SUVs. Based on these spy shots, the Expedition will continue to serve as the Navigator's more affordable twin. Yes, that's a bold prediction, considering we still haven't spotted Lincoln testing the new Navigator, but study the greenhouses on this Expedition prototype and the Navigator Concept from New York – from the arrow-straight belt line to the extra-long rear window to the aggressively raked windshield, this Expedition's overall profile is broadly similar to what Lincoln previewed earlier this year. While our spies claim the new Expedition will look to the F-150 for design inspiration, we see a departure from past Expedition tradition. Unlike the supposed Expedition spy shots we showed you nearly a year ago – which was nothing more than an SUV with an F-150's nose grafted on, this prototype's front-end styling looks softer and more aerodynamic, with a smaller grille and headlights, almost like an Escape or Edge. This kind of change would explain the additional front-end camouflage. In back, our spies rightly point out that Ford fitted a faux rear end to disguise the rear window's rake – expect the real thing to feature the angled rear window previewed on the Navigator Concept. Look at the last image in the gallery for a better idea of how the Expedition's rear window will actually look. We can't say a lot about the taillights, because of the camo, but non-LED taillights are present. We'd expect Ford to offer LEDs on higher trim levels. While the F-150's styling might not make the transition to the Expedition, its powertrains and emphasis on lightweight aluminum will. Our spies report the biggest SUV will ride on a new T3 platform and feature an aluminum body, with the F-150's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Expect a ten-speed automatic transmission and start/stop tech for sure, while the smaller 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 could slot in as the Expedition's base engine – we're less sure on that one. And we're even more uncertain of the rumors of an Expedition Hybrid. Our spies report it could mate a 3.5-liter V6 with an electric motor(s) and battery packs for a more economical full-size SUV. Expect to see the 2018 Expedition debut in January, at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.
