I have for sale this week a 1978 Ford F-150 Ranger 4X4 shortbed truck. I have known this truck for many years. The owner recently died and I bought it from the estate. It was parked for two years after his death and I bought it about two years ago. A battery and fresh gas had it back running great. It has 58000 original miles on it and still retains many of the original belts and hoses and clamps. It has the full time front hubs, so the owner removed the front driveshaft to get better fuel economy. I do not have the front shaft, but is easily sourced from a salvage yard. Other than the bed, this truck is in amazing condition with NO RUST on the cab, doors, fenders, or hood. The bed has rust and could be repaired or easily replaced. The floors of the truck still have shiney black paint on them. The door jambs are all excellent with original paint in great condition. This truck has been well cared for all of it's life. The original carb cranks easily with it's properly working choke. This truck is loaded with options as follows: 351 V-8, Automatic transmission, Factory A/C, tilt wheel, cruise control, power steering, power disc brakes, locking inside hood release, dual front shock HD suspension, and the Ranger trim package. I have driven the truck locally and it drives well. Before going on a long trip, I would replace some of the above mentioned original parts. The cab still retains it's original paint so there are no hidden repairs to worry about. this will be a very easy restoration and well worth the effort. You do not see many original Black and Silver color combo trucks. This truck is for sale locally for $3500.00 and I reserve the right to end this auction at any time in the event of a local sale. I am selling this truck as is and the buyer is responsible for transport to it's new home. Don't miss out on this great truck that will be a beauty when done. thanks for looking.

Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.
Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA
Fri, 31 Oct 2014Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.
Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
