7.3l Diesel Crewcab With Fontaine Body Classic Cruiser Package on 2040-cars

Year:2000 Mileage:129799
Location:

Warren, Michigan, United States

Warren, Michigan, United States

 Condition: In good condition for it's age, ready to go anywhere, well maintained, within the past year new brakes, new front tires, and new batteries.

Features: Fonataine body with 70+ gallon dual tank with automatic leveling pump, CB radio, brake controller, 5th wheel, boxes in the bed for spare tire and storage, bumper hitch, rear air bags with automatic pump. These trucks were built to tow.

History: I believe I am the 3rd owner. Originally a Canadian truck (hence the kilometers). Used to tow race cars for the for most of it's life. It hasn't seen snow/salt. Frame and body are in excellent condition. I've had it for the past 2-3 years and continued to use it just to tow my race car. I've maintained it to be a reliable tow vehicle. The only reason I'm selling is I'm downsizing to a single rear wheel truck so I do not have to run commercial plates in my home state (MA requires commercial plates for dually trucks). The 7.3L diesel is known to be reliable. This is the engine that put the super duties on the map. They do not blow out injectors or destroy turbos like the 6.0L engines on. It should be good for several more hundred of thousands of miles if maintained. The transmission has been replaced by the prior owner. I do not know how many miles are on this one. I rebuilt the differential and it should be good. There are some wear and noise from the bearings, but not enough that I replaced them. The transmission functions without issues. Any other things that have come up have been fixed and maintained. If you have any questions please ask. These trucks where $70K when new. You would be hard pressed to find a truck that can tow this amount without spending a lot more. If you do not need to tow anything, buy a different truck.

Shipping and Payment: ****NOTE**** I live in MA, but the rig and race car are stored in MI. The truck is currently located in Warren, MI and that will be the site for pick up or the origin site for shipping. Cash in person pick up or cleared cashiers check. If you cannot pick up the vehicle in person it is up to you to arrange, and pay for shipping. The truck will not be released until funds are transferred and secured. To aide in shipping the truck can be at a place of business to make pick up easier.

Ford Escort is ready to focus on the Chinese market

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford officially revived the Escort name in China, showing of the new, four-door compact at the Beijing Motor Show. Painted in a stylish brown-bronze, the new sedan wears a number of global Ford styling cues while sharing its platform with the Ford Focus.
Power for the new model comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, although Ford doesn't specify just how much power is on offer, simply saying that the fuel economy of the new mill will be "outstanding." It's unclear what transmission will be distributing the engine's power, although based on the images we've seen, the Escort will definitely offer a two-pedal setup.
The layout of the cabin is fairly clean, although as we mentioned in our initial post on the new Escort, it's a decidedly sparser environment than we've grown use to in US-spec Fords of late. If anything, it's like a weird blend of current Ford switchgear with an overall look that reminds us of older Ford layouts. Still, it looks like a comfortable way of moving five people about without too much fuss. There's ample space both front and rear, and a rather spacious trunk.

More 2015 Ford Mustang pricing information leaks [UPDATE]

Tue, 20 May 2014

The big news this morning was that the 2015 Ford Mustang would start at $24,425, including its destination pricing. The big news this afternoon is, well, bigger.
Mustang6G.com has come up with what it claims is pricing info for the entire Mustang line, rather than just the V6. That means we know all about the EcoBoost and GT prices now, which, when combined with the dealer order sheets we reported on last week, gives us our clearest look yet at how the Mustang can be outfitted (we're still a bit short on pricing info for some standalone options, like paint premiums and such).
The base EcoBoost starts at $25,995, while the GT rings up at $32,925.

eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype

Wed, 08 May 2013

Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.
