First things first I want everyone to be aware of two very important things. 1. This truck is in need of transmission work (read description) 2. This is a true NO RESERVE auction (no fake bids and no games on my end, next Thursday April 18th the high bidder will own it!)


This is a 1996 F250 4X4 7.3 Powerstroke truck for someone that wants a good work truck for a great price. Motor starts up very nice, strong batteries and glow plugs, no heavy smoke or blow by. Once in every 5 turns the starter won't engage, but let is stop and hit it again it will will crank just fine. The transmission will move the truck around in reverse and forward only when it is cold (actually shifts through the gears just fine) but when the fluid gets a bit warm it will stop moving, turn the engine off and put it in gear and it will drive for a few feet again. I'm not sure if it needs a torque converter, transmission pump or just a full out rebuild, either way this is exactly as you will buy it. It will need towed or to be put on a trailer to get it home. Also the left rear leaf spring shackle is rusted through. I am unaware of the condition of any of the brakes, ball joints, tie rods, and the truck has not been checked out or serviced and the PA inspection has just expired. The frame is fairly clean and solid, see pictures. Tires are 50% or so, no major leaks.

Cosmetically it's as you would expect for a Pennsylvania born and raised 17 year old Ford. Rust spots starting in all the usual spots, both bed sides, both extended cab bottoms, both front fender bottoms, tailgate. Not falling apart but she has her fair share of corrosion. No major dents or damage other than the rust, but it is a little faded. It is missing an F250 molding on the one side and some center caps, like I said it's a great work truck. Interior is all there and pretty decent. No major rips or tears, all glass is nice, no bad smells inside either. It could use a clean up.

Here is your chance to get into one of these classic 7.3's for cheap money, I'm letting it rip because I need it off my books next week so if you are a buyer please put your bids in with the intention of owning her, it's a true no reserve guys, don't email me later crying cause someone out bid you for $.01, get your bid in high as you can spend and hopefully you'll get it cheap. Good luck. For all serious questions or concerns or if you want to come take a look at it feel free to give me a call, my name is Zach 717-361-6650. It is being sold by Platinum Car and Truck Sales, LLC in Elizabethtown, PA, it will be sold AS-IS and all proper disclosers will be made in writing at the time of delivery.

Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.

Ford demonstrates Mustang's new Line Lock burnout feature

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Been saving your pennies for a 2015 Ford Mustang? Put in a few extra shifts or some overtime? Got a great down payment ready? Well, however much you saved for your new pony car, start saving more - you'll need the extra money to spend on tires.
That's because the Mustang will come with a system called Line Lock, which can lock the front brakes electronically, allowing drivers to perform big, dumb, smoky burnouts without moving so much as an inch. It's sort of like launch control, only the average driver might actually use it.
Now, line locks aren't uncommon, particularly in drag racing. Usually, a flip of the switch locks the front brakes. The Mustang, besides offering the system from the factory which is unique in and of itself, looks a bit more involved.

Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
