FANTASTIC CLASSIC TRUCK THAT DEFINED A GENERATION. THIS TRUCK IS IN AMZING CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE. CLEAN AND STRAIGHT PANELS WITH NO BODY WORK. PAINT FINISH STILL HAS IMPRESSIVE SHINE. This truck has serious MUSCLE!

1977 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT 4WD with a short box, 4" Factory Lift, Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold (4 barrel) Holley 750 Double pumper Carb, 86K miles, Stainless Headers going to Flow Master dual exhaust that SOUNDS AMAZING! The original owner ordered this truck direct from Ford in '77 with the 429 cu in engine, which is the same block as the 460, just a shorter stroke. 10,000 LB HEAVY DUTY TOW PACKAGE W/Step up bumper and trailer brake system mounted in cab.

Original Carpet and seats were worn excessively, so the first thing I did after I bought it from the original owner in Tacoma, Washington was replaced the carpet with brand new black cut pile, and replaced the cloth blue seat with black vinyl (looks and feels like new Leather). New wing mirrors. All improvements/restorations were done through LMC catalogs, so stock (or closest to OEM) products were used.

Also, the truck has over $2,000.00 in Dynamat, Dynapad, and Dynaliner installed under the carpet, seats, and on the firewall to reduce road noise/vibrations in the cab. Extra sheets of Dynamat Xtreme will be provided with truck sale.

All gauges work and function as they should. The heater core was just replaced as well as the Starter Solenoid, Power Steering pump and return lines, and washer motor pump. New seat belts (black to match new black upholstery). New gaskets on cab around doors & glass. Fender Flares matching existing paint. I've put $5000 into restorations in the past year, while maintaining the stock look.

The truck looks and feels like American Muscle... the engine creates huge power and beautiful sound. The only thing slowing this beautiful beast down, is perhaps the differential/gearing. The gear ratios are for pulling and torque, but with a little wrenching, this truck can easily generate over 500 HP at the rear wheel... My NHRA mechanic had me inline next to complete a custom build with forged aluminum pistons, and an EFI conversion... yet, I recently became a first time father and things like this just aren't practical for now : (

Please call with any questions, or email me. I can start it if the exhaust sound is something that gets your blood going like mine!

Buyer is responsible for taking delivery of the vehicle. Seller maintains the right to sell to private party locally within auction time. $2,000.00 USD deposit is required within 24 hours of auction ending, and must provide certified (bank/cashier's check) at time of pick up. Clear title and no maintenance issues whatsoever, yet, sale is AS IS.

Thank you for your time! Best of LUCK and Happy Bidding!

eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype

Wed, 08 May 2013

Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.

Ford Focus ST, Fiesta ST buyers to get free Octane Academy driving school

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST have created plenty of excitement in the sport compact segment, and Ford is looking to make sure that owners are driving and enjoying their cars to the best of their abilities. As an added bonus for buying one of these sporty hatchbacks, Ford will provide a complimentary ST Octane Academy session to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Attendees will be responsible for travel and lodging, but Ford will provide the driving school free of charge. Included in this two-day trip, ST owners will get class instruction and driving instruction in prepped Focus ST and Fiesta ST models on the track and autocross course. Some karting action will also be involved as will a tour of Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing headquarters located nearby. If this doesn't sound like enough fun, there is also an optional day of activities that includes some more track time in a Mustang GT and off-road instruction in an F-150 SVT Raptor.
Ford told us that those who have already purchased a Focus ST or Fiesta ST will still be able to attend the performance driving school, but the press release, which is posted below, makes it sound like it applies to original owners only. Ford has yet to announce its schedule for the ST Octane Academy or prices for additional activities or guests.

Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects

Thu, 16 May 2013

Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
