1997 Ford Mustang Gt Convertible 2-door 4.6l. Only 43k Original Miles! Ca Car on 2040-cars

Year:1997 Mileage:43142
Location:

Edwardsville, Illinois, United States

Edwardsville, Illinois, United States

 I bought this car in March, 2013 from the original owner, a retired 83 year old professor from Southern California. I'm a 68 year old retired professor, so it has always been senior owned and driven. I bought as a fun transport to take  my grandchildren to soccer games, etc. but mama, my daughter-in-law, says "no" - it isn't safe enough to suit her. Arrgh! I've only driven it 3K since flying out to LA and driving the car back, so it needs to go to someone who will drive it and appreciate it. It has been garaged since brand new and I only have room for one car in my garage (too many motorcycles!), so my daily driver, a VW Jetta, has to sit out. We have tough winters here, soooo...

The top is black and in perfect shape - no leaks. The car is fun to drive with the 5 speed and powerful V8 engine with a throaty dual exhaust (stock). The paint is shiny and freshly waxed. Leather seats with wear only on the drivers side - the others are like new. The Michelin Sport Pilot tires only have 3K on them (I put them on as soon as I got the car back to Illinois). The intake manifold was replaced with the upgraded one before I left California at 38K.

I have all the original manuals. Carfax will verify mileage, etc.

This is a unique opportunity to own a perfect, very low mileage GT Convertible. I doubt there is another one with this low mileage in the entire country.

Ford Escort returns, just not for US

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
