1955 Ford F250 V8 on 2040-cars
Luck, Wisconsin, United States
|
This is a nice 1955 Ford F250 V8 Stake Bed Truck. Better than average condition normally seen, especially in this neck of the woods. Truck is in original condition, has not been redone. Was used as a farm truck for most of it's life. First in Wisconsin, then in Minnesota until about 1977. Originally came with a 239 V8, which put out about 113 HP, but owner in Minnesota ran it out of oil and replaced it with a 59-60 292 V8, which was a nice upgrade because it put out about 193 HP. Engine runs great. Always starts, even in below zero temperatures. Truck has been used at least weekly on short trips to neighbors since I've had it, which is over a year. Prior to that is was stored in a pole shed for about 30 years. Last year it was registered prior to me was 1977. Drives fine. Has four speed manual transmission with granny. Clutch works fine. Has manual steering. Has manual brakes that work, but should be upgraded if to be used on longer trips. Heater and defrost seem to work. All gauges work except fuel and temp. Tires are pretty good. All glass is good, except drivers door window is cracked. Body is not bad. A few rust spots in the corners, but looks good. Frame is also in good shape. Floor is in decent shape. Original mats are still there. Interior isn't bad either. Dash and doors look good. Seat is a little worn on drivers side back. Was stored in pole building most of it's life. Hood is nice. Has the F100 emblems on the hood for some reason unknown to me. Original metal identification plate in glove box. Has 12 volt electrical system. All lights, horn and blinkers work. Has 43320 original miles and odometer does work. Have clear title and is currently registered/licensed. Identification plate says it is a F250 3/4T made in Dallas, Texas, 6900 GVWR, 118" wheel base, 4.86 differential. Would make a fun driver the way it is, or a nice base to start with on a restore. See pictures for best description. Contact me with questions of if more pictures are needed. Will assist in loading. Can be driven on to trailer. Delivery is a possible option depending on distance. Can be discussed with buyer. Accepted offers, over my starting price, is always possible, using the "buy it now" option, as long as no bids have been placed.

Next Ford Mustang to drop 400 pounds
Thu, 15 Aug 2013The Ford Mustang is already the lightest of the current crop of muscle cars, at around 3,600 pounds for a GT coupe with the six-speed manual transmission. That's almost 260 pounds less than a Chevrolet Camaro SS and about 450 pounds less than a Dodge Challenger R/T, which means the Mustang has a pretty big advantage when it comes to handling, braking, accelerating and economy. More good news: The next Mustang will be even lighter.
According to a report from Edmunds, the sixth-generation Mustang, which is set to debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, will shed an additional 400 pounds of body fat. That 11-percent weight reduction will be thanks to lightweight materials, with a particular focus on using stronger, but less material in construction. Aluminum will feature heavily, but Edmunds' inside source warns that there is "nothing terribly exotic" coming to the original pony car.
The other big news is that the new Mustang will be smaller overall. It's going to be 15-inches shorter than the 188.5-inch Mustang on sale today, while it'll also be 6.5 inches narrower. Shorter overhangs, both in the front and rear, are also good signs for those that want an agile Mustang.
Bill Ford op-ed argues we can't just build and sell more of the same cars
Thu, 10 Jul 2014It's hardly a secret that the auto industry is undergoing an enormous, tectonic shift in the way it thinks, builds cars and does business. Between alternative forms of energy, a renewed focus on low curb weights and aerodynamic bodies, the advent of driverless and autonomous cars and the need to reduce the our impact on the environment, it's very likely that the car that's built 10 years down the line will be scarcely recognizable when parked next to the car from 10 years ago.
Few people are as able to explain the industry's many upcoming changes and challenges as clearly as William Clay Ford, Jr., better known as Bill Ford. The 57-year-old currently sits as the executive chairman of the company his great-grandfather, Henry Ford, founded over 110 years ago.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Ford explains that the role of automakers is, necessarily, going to change to suit the needs of the future world. That means changing the view of not just the automobile, but the automaker. As Ford explains it, automakers will "move from being just car and truck manufacturers to become personal-mobility companies."
