Welcome to my  97.5 Ford Contour SPORT's Page

I felt like my car just didn't look right without a Spoiler, so replaced the Trunk with one from a 98 Sport.

I also got one of those Contour patches that goes by the back window off a 98. 

My Car is Officially a 97.5

WOODGRAIN ON THE DASH...

 My 97 SPORT and my boys 98 SPORT

 PLEASE RATE MY PROFILE AND SHOW SOME CONTOUR LOVE!!!

The Story of "RUBY"

IN NOV 07 AFTER I PURCHASED IT FOR $450 FROM AN OLDER GUY IN VIRGINIA BEACH WHO HAD IT SITTING IN HIS BACK YARD FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS.  HE TOLD US THE REASON HE WAS SELLING IT WAS BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING AND IT WOULD CUT OFF AT RED LIGHTS AND IDLE A LITTLE ROUGH, SO AFTER GETTING IT HOME WE HAD TO GIVE IT A JUMP START FROM SITTING SO LONG AND NOTICED THE SENSOR THAT PLUGS INTO THE AIR INTAKE BOX WAS UNPLUGGED, I PLUGGED IT BACK IN AND WE HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM WITH IDLE OR IT SHUTTING OFF AGAIN!!!

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I LOOKED UP THE GUY'S ADRESS WHO I PURCHASED IT FROM, JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY.. AND IF YOU LOOK, YOU CAN SEE MY CAR IN HIS BACKYARD BEFORE I BOUGHT IT!! LOL 

A CLOSEUP PIC ON GOOGLE STREET VIEW!

THE PIC BELOW IS OF MY 1997 FORD CONTOUR SPORT  BEING TOWED HOME ON THE NIGHT OF PURCHASE

THIS PIC IS NOT TO LONG AFTER BUYING THE CAR THIS IS HER AT THE CAR WASH WITH THE FACTORY 15" SPORT WHEELS

I CHANGED OUT THE WHEELS AND TIRES WITH 16 INCH FACTORY 5 SPOKE FOCUS RIMS WITH LOW PROFILE PIRELLI P6 TIRES AND DECIDED TO TAKE IT ON A ROAD TRIP SO WE DROVE IT TO NEW YORK IN ADDITION TO DRIVING ALL OVER VIRGINIA ON A DAILY BASIS WATCHING THE NUMBERS ON THE ODOMETER ROLL PAST....127,000 NOV 07 - 135,000 MAR 08 - CURRENT AS OF SEP 08 141,000

ALTHOUGH WE CALL HER "RUBY" THE ACTUAL FORD FACTORY COLOR NAME IS Toreador Red Pearl Metallic COLOR CODE "FL"

ALTHOUGH EVERYONE SUSPECTS IT OF BEING A 24 VALVE V6 ITS ACTUALLY ONLY THE 2 LITER ZETEC ENGINE WITH AUTO TRANS, WE HAVE UPGRADED THE INTERIOR TO TAN LEATHER WITH WOODGRAIN ON THE DASH FROM A 2000 MYSTIQUE (pics coming soon), AND ALSO DONT FORGET THE 205/50 16 PIRELLI TIRES ON 05 FOCUS WHEELS...

BELOW ITS PARKED ON A BROOKLYN NEW YORK STREET ON OUR VACATION, (A LONG WAY FROM VIRGINIA BEACH LOL) - MAR 08   

PLEASE RATE MY PICS AND SHOW SOME LOVE!!!!!

  THE "STREET GLOW"

THE HID HEADLIGHTS BLINGIN' IN THE NIGHT W/ MATCHING FACTORY FOG LIGHTS ;)

'05 FocusSport Rims  ( I think they actually look better on a Contour )

Also painted my calipers Red

I recently changed my rims again because my Pirelli's went bald and they cost like $300 a peice.  I'll get them replaced one day, but for now I just put some rims off a 98 Contour Sport on it.
