1978 Ford F-150 4x4 (low Reserve) on 2040-cars
Gunnison, Colorado, United States
|
1978 Ford F150 4x4. 351M, C6 NOTE: Truck has clear title. It is missing the VIN plate on the drivers door jam. This is an excellent example of a clean & rust free "dent-side" ford pickup. The truck is a rare short bed 4x4. Sitting high with a skyjacker suspension lift and 37" tires on new 16.5 rock crawler rims. Beautiful pearl maroon paint sparkles in the sun and compliments the all black trim. This truck is a true eye catcher and looks phenomenal, I have had many compliments on the appearance. The truck has square headlights like a 1979 Ford. All lights, signals and gauges work except the dome light. Electrically, this truck is solid and doesn't have any ignition issues or shorts. The 351M motor runs strong and is fed through a completely rebuilt Motorcraft 2150 2bbl carburetor. Motor has all new plugs and wires, new filters, pcv valve and is vacuum leak free. Dana 44 high pinion front axle and 9" rear axle. 3.50 gears keeps the RPM's down on the highway. Truck gets between 10-12 MPG! Hi/low transfer case NP205. Brand new rear drive shaft. Interior is clean. New LMC carpet covers rust free floor pans. Dash cover w/no cracks. Seat is in fine condition. Door panels are not perfect but workable (see pictures). All glass is solid. Only issue: Cannot get the rear trim over the wheel wells to sit flush with the fender. The OEM clips are difficult to work with and I didn't want to mess with them. The new owner can decide how they want to deal with the rear trim. Truck drives great, doesn't overheat over Colorado mountain passes. Tracks straight but drives like a 79 with big wheels. I wouldn't take it over 75mph. I trust driving this truck anywhere, it doesn't use oil. Call for more details: 303 956 6990. Truck is for sale locally! I reserve the right to remove listing at any time. Thank you!

2015 Ford Mustang potentially 'leaked' by Car and Driver
Mon, 28 Oct 2013Few upcoming debuts have been as eagerly anticipated as the all-new Ford Mustang that's expected to debut shortly as the Mustang's 50th anniversary year approaches. Well, Car and Driver magazine would have us wait no longer as it claims to be leaking Ford's new global pony car early.
Of course what you're looking at is just as likely to be a composite rendering based on what C/D projects the new Mustang to look like, but to our eyes it looks spot on. Combining design traits from the Evos Concept with classic Mustang signatures and Ford's Aston-inspired grille treatment, C/D's images - including a complete 360-degree digital navigator - show a Mustang not only for the modern era, but also for global distribution, taking a quintessentially American car to markets its predecessors were never designed for.
Those global considerations are expected to spell the demise of the outgoing Mustang's holdout live rear axle in favor of an independent suspension, and a slight constricting of the exterior dimensions. And thanks to a separate leak, coming from a digital survey, we have apparent confirmation of what will power the new pony car. While the existing 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engines will apparently carry over with only slight adjustments in output, the survey confirms a new 2.4-liter turbo four will be positioned in between them, offering slightly more power than the V6 but markedly improved fuel economy for a manageable $560 premium over base.
Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
