I have my 78 up for sale, here is the scoop:

New engine rebuild approx 3,000 miles ago (351M) Not the 400

Motor and truck have only 60,000 actual miles

Rust in bed floor, all the way through, although it is usable.

Rust in cab floor, hole on driver side, rot on passenger side. Easy fix.

Rust on passenger rear spring hanger, $35 part, I can help you get it if needed.

Driver side headlight bezel is cracked, along with side marker lens.

Drive side door was hit and buckled a bit.

Both doors have rot on bottoms, but are still rigid.

Turn signal on front right does not blink from outside truck...blinks in the cluster.

Here is what I have done to the truck:

1. Installed all new bulbs behind instrument cluster, cleaned all parts.

2. Installed new antique looking radio with new speakers.

3. Removed headliner, kept all brackets and headliner.

4. Replaced heater core with high output model, cleaned and painted all parts that were showing rust.

9. Brake and Trans lines are newer and in good shape.

11. 4x4 works perfectly

12. Has Dana axles not sure exactly what each is...I think 60 front 70 rear?

13. 3speed tranny

14. Engine and truck start, stop and run great!

15. Has new hitch with clean wiring plug in

16. I have a rust free (meaning surface rust only, no rust through)bed from Arkansas that goes with truck (see pics, it is mint green)

17. I have a rust free (meaning surface rust only, no rust through)complete tailgate off of a 79 that goes with truck (see pics, it is white)

18. I have a list of parts and costs to restore using LMC, I can send with you.

Here is the bottom line: The truck runs, stops and starts great. I have driven it to Toledo and back 4 times without ANY problems at all. I drive it around town whenever without problems....it runs great! Newer engine, everything works except front blinker, see above.

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!

Ford opens the doors on its Swedish rally skunkworks

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

It's always amazing to see how different kinds of racecars are made. Formula One racers are often constructed in modern architectural marvels that hint at some of the cutting-edge technology going into the racing. Conversely, rallying is all about sliding around on a varied course as fast as possible, but it often leaves a vehicle caked in mud. So it makes some sense Olsbergs MSE, or simply (OMSE) rally car shop in Nynashamn, Sweden, shows technological sophistication in a more down-to-earth setting. It builds Ford Fiesta ST racers for Global Rallycross there, and this new video gives viewers a tour through the work.
Former rally driver Andreas Eriksson runs OMSE. These days instead of racing, he and the company's 46 employees are building Ford racers from scratch. A ton of work goes into constructing each one, and according to Eriksson, it takes 400 hours to complete each body. At times, things are so busy that some of the technicians live in the shop in apartments that are on premises. There's even a restaurant to keep them fed. Sadly the dyno room is empty during this visit, though.
By the time OMSE is done, a rallycross car might resemble a Fiesta ST on the outside, but as you see in the video, it's a completely different beast underneath. Check out the work it takes to build one of them, and scroll down to read more about it in the official release.

Mustang Cobra Jet prototype garners $200k for charity at Barrett-Jackson

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

A few weeks ago we brought you news of a one-off Mustang Cobra Jet that Ford was donating to charity. The car was set to be auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Now that auction has taken place, bringing in an impressive $200,000 for MS research.
That's a lot of zeros for a Mustang, much less one you can't even drive on the street. But the unique pony car, bearing serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1, packs a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, competition gearbox, wheelie bar, roll cage... all you could want, in short, in a turn-key drag racer. And all that for a good cause.
