“Prior to re-conditioning”

 

We test drive our vehicles prior to offering them for sale and any faults are disclosed to the best of our ability. We also run them through a local service facility for a pre~sale inspection & then Re-prepped for their new owners post~sale. Our vehicles are mostly all one owner Dealer serviced cars & Our auctions are always no-reserve, So Our prices are generally WAY below the average retail values listed in the most popular pricing guides. Our cars are not Overhauled or Dolled up to hide things, but sold in the same manner they were purchased or traded. They are simply lightly serviced, washed, and put out for sale. the only few things we could find and disclose about this car is it seems to have had some type of patch work/Repair done on the rear Rocker panels in front of the rear wheels in the Back, as seen in photos with rear doors open. Also on further inspection the rear cross-member (common problem) is rusted and should be be replaced, I priced it out New from oem Ford for $198 on ebay also there are used cheaper prices out there. This is something that cant be seen & The car is drivable and could be driven the way it is, but i recommend it should be replaced. Also the car did pass Massachusetts annual Smog/safety Inspection last month and there are No check lights or motor lights on the dash the motor sounds great and the trans shifts just as good the clutch is also perfect with 0 slippage. Remember we sell great low mile used vehicles at great prices, This allows you to buy the Vehicle for less money & If your receptive to buying a car in this fashion the savings are yours.

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.

Hennessey Ford GT sets 267.6-MPH record at Texas Mile [w/videos]

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

The record-setting Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT we showed you at this time last year headed back to the Texas Mile and managed to bring home yet another record. As you may recollect, last year saw Mark Heidraker's machine sprint to a record 257.7 mph thanks to propulsion from its twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8. The big mill sucks down race gas, and this year the creation pulled off a 267.6-mph run over the weekend. That feat set a new record for the event. Something tells us neither Heidraker nor Hennessey are done squeezing more thrust from this machine.
This particular Ford GT has already gone through a number of permutations. Hennessey started by tweaking the factory supercharger set up before abandoning the blower in favor of two turbos. Since then, the crew has poked and prodded it to coerce as much grunt as possible out of the car. We expect Hennessey will probably come out with a video of the record-setting run shortly, but in the meantime, you can see a couple of videos of the car's runs in Texas below (one of which actually captures the record run). Enjoy.

Feds looking into Ford Explorer exhaust leak complaints

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

There may be a burgeoning problem with exhaust leaks in the 2011-2014 model year Ford Explorer. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is examining multiple complaints of a gasoline smell in the cabin of these SUVs. However, the exact cause of this problem is still unknown.
"The agency is reviewing all available data and will take appropriate action as warranted," said a NHTSA spokesperson in an email to Automotive News. Owners seem to generally complain on the regulator's website of the smell entering the cabin through the air vents. At this time, the government organization has not yet opened an official investigation into the problem, though. When it does begin inspecting vehicles, NHTSA posts a detailed breakdown of its public data online.
Similar problems have been reported about the Explorer in the past, though. In 2013, Ford issued a recall for the 2013 model year of the SUV due to a fuel leak that could cause drivers to smell a gasoline odor and repaired them again later for another possible leak. In response to Autoblog's questions, Ford responded via email: "We are not aware of a NHTSA investigation. We are currently reviewing the case and in the event that any action is required, we will address it promptly."
