1997 Ford Taurus Wagon. This vehicle is a good running vehicle. I drove it at least 50 miles a day from August last year to April this year when I purchased another vehicle. I have had no problems with it. It has a sunroof (working), and a 6 disc cd changer in the back of the vehicle. Comes with a cargo cover.
The only thing wrong with the vehicle is that it needs an overdrive solenoid. Not sure how much that will be, but the check engine light is on because of this. It was on when I purchased the vehicle, and I have driven it the whole time without problems. However, you cannot go over 55, or the engine revs to over 3000. If the solenoid was replaced I think this vehicle would do great. Like I said, I drove it just the way it is and it did fine. It also needs tires. There are a few scratches and small dings, but that is expected, the vehicle is 16 years old. The mileage is original, and I have the title in hand.
JUST ONE NOTE:
IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD BIDDERS THAT DO NOT PAY WHEN THEY WIN----IF YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, PLEASE DO NOT BID!!!!
I am moving and have to sell this vehicle - I do not have the time to go through all the mess of having to relist. Please if you have any questions, contact me, I will answer them as soon as I can. Thanks!!
One more note: After looking at these pictures, I realize the car looks like it has large scratches on it, it DOES NOT, the vehicle has been sitting in my yard and is just dirty. Sorry, the quality of the pictures are not as good as I would like. Please contact me if you have any questions at all. Thanks!

Ford unveils its facelifted Falcon finale with new XR8
Thu, 24 Jul 2014While its days may be numbered, Ford isn't just going to let its Falcon sedan limp out for the Australian market. No, the Blue Oval is releasing a refreshed Falcon for its final years, and it's lead by this, the new XR8. That's right, this dead-car-driving is going to go out on a high note.
Ford's global design DNA dominates the looks of the new Falcon, with a grille reminiscent of the US market Fusion and the European-market Mondeo. The headlights aren't a straight port, and boast their own unique LED running light pattern (at least on the XR8), but the overall look is strikingly similar. Out back, LED taillights highlight the rear of the Faclon. Despite the substantial new fascia, this is still a mid-cycle refresh. That means most of the rest of the Falcon's body panels are carryovers from the current model.
The XR8 model, shown above, arrives with a supercharged V8, allegedly displacing 5.0 liters. Unfortunately, details on the Falcon's mechanicals are in remarkably short supply. Ford has committed to a range of turbocharged four, as well as turbocharged and naturally aspirated six-cylinders, in addition to the V8, although specifics on those mills aren't available.
2016 Ford Taurus to ride atop reworked Fusion platform
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Generally, cars get bigger and heavier as they get older. That's why it looks so ridiculous when you park a classic Mini next to a modern version. The same can be said of the Corvette, the BMW 3 Series, Porsche 911 and, of course, the Ford Taurus. In the Taurus' case, though, that size has become a liability, particularly because the big brute isn't nearly as sizable on the inside as it is on the out.
For 2016, Ford is aiming to rectify that. According to Edmunds, the 2016 Taurus will ride on a stretched and widened Ford Fusion platform. Ford is expecting this move to go a long way in trimming the Taurus' ample body fat.
"The problem with today's Taurus is that it is overweight and even the high performance SHO is not really competitive," said a source that spoke to Edmunds on condition of anonymity. The 365-horsepower SHO variant, "actually weighs about as much as the stretched Audi A8 L. Of course, Audi uses an extensive amount of aluminum, but it is a much bigger car."
XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.
