1956 Ford vintage and classic F-250, same body as F100, 4 speed with a VERY UNIQUE engine and overdrive trans package. Here's your chance to pick up a very solid truck for restoration or customizing.

Has California title registered through Jan 2015. Includes a new factory repair manual and truck cover.

It has a 50's era V-8 Lincoln engine which was a sought after engine (Hot Rod Lincoln) at that time. The casting number on the intake manifold and block shows it is a ECU series. Whoever put this combination in was going to make a very cool rod. It currently doesn't run.

The body is virtually rust free (some surface rust) with some bondo. VERY solid cab, doors, fenders, hood, frame. Looks like the cab floor has been sandblasted and painted. It has the original seat and gas tank. Front bumper is missing, though readily available, and the rear bumper was customized. The bed has been lined with aluminum panels.

The transmission is a full synchro 4 speed with letters OD in the middle of the shifter knob which is very rare. May have come out of an F500, I've also been told it could be a Clark 5 speed made for big trucks. Clutch works and it does shift. The brakes feel like they still work. Lots of original parts still on the truck.

The 8 lug rear end was on a F250 and the 5 lug front spindles where swapped and has disc brakes installed. Also installed is an auxiliary gas tank underneath the rear of the bed. It is a very sanitary installation. It looks like an installed option with a tank switch lever in the floor of the cab.

Has most of the original dash parts and the cab is in good condition. The hood has been modified which for an original restoration would need to be changed back but for a rodder would be perfect in that it slides and tilts forward - no head banging.

Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]

Sat, 09 Mar 2013

Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...

2014 Ford Transit Connect configurator fires up for the whole family

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The second-generation Ford Transit Connect is almost upon us, and to get work- and family-oriented customers ready for the new model, Ford has launched a configurator for both van and wagon versions. Both body styles will go on sale early next year with the base TC Van starting at $22,000, but customers wanting side windows and rear seats will have to pony up at least an extra $3,000 for the TC Wagon.
Ford is definitely looking to get back into the family van business with the 2014 TC Wagon offering three available trim levels, two engines and the choice between five- and seven-passenger seating (with two wheelbases). Like many recent Ford products, a fancy Titanium trim level is offered, and opting for it will cost you - this trim starts at $29,000, and we were able to spec it out with a panoramic roof, tow package and front and rear parking sensors for a little over $33,000.
Businesses looking for a small, fuel-efficient work vehicle now get more options on the TC Van like the choice of split, hinged rear doors or a liftgate (with or without glass), a long wheelbase ($1,000) and Ford's CrewChief vehicle tracking system ($925). Fully loaded, this van is still costs less than the fullsize E-Series. On both Van and Wagon, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine is a $795 option, but it is only offered on short-wheelbase models and Ford has yet to release power or fuel economy specs yet. With the standard 2.5-liter engine, the TC will get up to 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.
