1998 Ford Taurus. Deluxe Se Model. Leather Seats & Interior. 100% Reliable on 2040-cars
Fairfield, Pennsylvania, United States
|
1998 Ford Taurus SE 4-door sedan. Deep metalic red exterior with gray leather seats and interior. Climate control A/C: just set the digital dial to your temperature preference. Deluxe wheels. Owners/drivers are non-smokers . Very clean interior. Rarely driven on snowy or salty roads [NOTE: at the time this ad was placed, eBay had a problem with their picture-loading software: it loaded the seller's photos in an unpredictable, random sequence, and then blocked the seller from re-sequencing the photos into their correct sequence. I'll get them into logical order when the software problem is solved.] Background. We bought this Taurus for my wife over 10 years ago. Now, because of surgery and mobiity problems [we are 76 years old], it is too low and sleek for her to enter / exit easily so we have acquired a taller vehicle for her. Original owner was a salesman, and the car had about 130,000 miles on it when we bought it. He indicated that the transmission developed problems just before sale to us, and Ford installed a complete new transmission. During our 10-year ownership, the transmission has worked flawlessly. The car has 256K miles, but they were easy miles -- rarely any passengers and rarely driven over 60 MPH. Reliability. It has been 100% reliable for us. Condition. In my judgment, it's in very good condition for its age. Has a new Pennsylvania safety inspection. Tires in excellent condition. Known problems: [1] tape deck does not work [never tried to diagnose/repair it]; [2] minor oil leak at the engine-to-transmission connection that drops 1~2 drops per day; and [3] an A/C hose leaks, but genuine Ford hoses are available in $120 range from Rock Auto. About 5 years ago, I replaced many of steering components: PS pump, rack and pinion, inner and outer tie rods, etc.

Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
