Up for sale is my 1999 Ford Windstar SE minivan. This is the upgraded model with two sliding doors, leather interior, middle captains chairs, and virtually every other factory option included. I've paid for quite a few maintenance items over the last 12 months so you won't have to. These include: new battery, all new front suspension assemblies, and I even had Ford completely replace/upgrade the sub frame which was a free recall on this year/model so you even get a brand new sub frame installed (done). Despite the fairly high mileage, this van starts every day, every time, and runs strong. With the repair listed below completed, this van is likely to run for many more miles and if you're looking for a great deal on a van with an awesome interior/options package, you won't find one nicer than this.

Needed Repair:
The only item that needs repair right now is what my mechanic tells me is the torch converter within the transmission. Despite the actual part not being all that expensive he says the shop that replaces/repairs the transmission will have to take it all apart which is fairly time consuming. I've received one quote for about $1600 for a completely rebuilt transmission to be installed but I'd be willing to be that you could get it done cheaper if you had a transmission shop only replace the torch converter. However, my mechanic recommends that if the cost is close to just go ahead and get a new (rebuilt) trans. so you'll essentially have a new van transmission-wise. I could likely get $3000 for this van if it had no issues but I want to be upfront about this needed repair and it has been built into the price.

Condition:
This van is the standard Ford light green/gray color. There are a few small misc scuffs on the exterior but nothing more than you'd expect of a vehicle this age. There is a portion of the lower panels near the rear tires that is starting to rust which appears to be completely normal of a Windstar this age as I've seen many around town with similar wear & tear in this pattern. The van has the original/factory V6 engine it in with 162700 miles. There is one small issue that I wanted to describe though it doesn't impact anything: the passenger side mirror housing must have been bumped by a pedestrian somewhere along the line because the housing jiggles a bit but the power mirror works fine and there is nothing wrong with the mirror itself. Again, not a big deal but I want to be perfectly clear with any/all issues with parts.

Overall, this is a great-running van and I'm only selling it because I finally bought a new vehicle, I'm moving out of state for a new job, and I no longer have a need for this van. I've invested over $1000 in upkeep and upgrades to buy new parts and keep the van in good shape (most of that cost was replacing the entire front suspension, springs, housing assembly, etc. I'm located in Traverse City and I own the vehicle free&clear.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Ford GT successor to debut in Detroit and go racing

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Anticipation for all of the exciting reveals at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show just a few weeks away is building to a fever pitch, and rumors are mounting that Ford has a big surprise in store in the shape of a future performance halo model. Insider sources speaking to Autoweek claim the next Ford supercar is definitely going to be revealed at the Detroit show in early January. However, the model is not necessarily the next-generation Ford GT in terms of its name or design aesthetic. Instead, one of these people indicates that the new halo model might drop retro styling altogether. If the latest reports are to be believed, Ford's high-performance project goes beyond something to just grab headlines and rocket down the street. According to Autoweek, the automaker is also reportedly employing Chip Ganassi Racing to run a two-car racing effort in the Tudor United SportsCar Championship in 2016. That would allegedly include a trip to the 24 Hours of Le Mans to race on the 50th anniversary of the Ford GT40's win in 1966. The speculation goes that at least the racing version might use a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 for power. However, the motorsports part of the program may not be announced during the auto show reveal. Rumors about the new halo car from the Blue Oval and its racing intentions have been percolating for months. The company might have considered an LMP2 entry, but speculation popped up later about the production supercar. A more recent report suggested that Ford might show a new Shelby GT350R Mustang, a successor to the F-150 Raptor and next Ford GT in Detroit.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.
