For sale here we have a really nice example of what Detroit used to be capable of before it imploded. This truck has been well used, but well cared for in the last 4 decades, and should provide someone with another 40 years of work and play. I bought this truck in Northern Ohio 6 years ago from a man who said it came from North Dakota. He had planned to do a frame-off restoration on it. It would still be a good candidate for this, but I have used it as a work & play truck. I had the interior redone in El Paso, TX in 2009. The engine was rebuilt from the crank up, as well as the transmission, in Hilliard, OH. A high-volume oil pump, new starter, electronic ignition, stainless headers, and a dual FLowMaster exhaust were added at this time. The original two-barrel carb was rebuilt as well. I can provide receipts for all drivetrain work. This truck also has a Reese hitch, as well as a 7-pin connector for a trailer with electric brakes. There is an adjustable controller to dial in how much current is applied to the trailer brakes, and how aggressively they are applied. Between the rebuilt 360, automatic transmission, Reese hitch, and electric brakes this is a very good truck for towing. I have a dual-axle enclosed Haulmark trailer (I believe it's 8' x 14') that I will sell to the winning bidder if he or she is interested.
There are a couple spots of through rust, the worst being the left cab corner and in the front of the right door jamb. I would love to do a frame-off and keep this beauty as my baby, but since I need to start using a truck more heavily for work I'd rather beat on a newer truck and let someone else hold onto this one and keep it like it should be kept.
I will have this truck for sale locally and may pull the auction if it sells. The truck is currently in Columbus, OH. I can (and will) deliver it to the Lorain County Fairgrounds the weekend of September 21. That being the case, the mileage may be a bit higher, but not more than a couple hundred miles. If the winning bidder wants this truck delivered I will put my Harley in the back and drive it anywhere in the lower 48 for $1.00 per mile one-way (must be paid prior to delivery). Please ask any questions prior to bidding; I work but I will do my best to answer them in a timely fashion.
A $250 deposit is required via PayPal within 24 hours of the auction closing. Remainder to be paid in cash upon receipt of truck. Again, please ask any question prior to bidding. Good luck, and remember, only the last bid counts!

Ford bringing C-Max Solar Energi Concept to CES
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Solar energy might not be enough to power a usable electric vehicle on its own, but that doesn't mean it can't lend a helping hand. And that's what Ford has in store for the Consumer Electronics Show opening next week in Las Vegas.
Ford has essentially taken its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid and fitted it with the latest in solar panel technology developed by SunPower, acting like a magnifying glass to capture as much of the sun's energy as possible. So you get the benefit of an electric vehicle, with the range assurance of a hybrid, without needing to draw from the grid.
Ford estimates that a day of charging in the sunshine will give the C-Max Solar Energi concept the same full charge as the production PHEV, with a total range of 620 miles - 21 of which can be run on electric power alone. Otherwise the vehicle - which remains a concept for the time being - is identical to the existing C-Max Energi. The top-selling model in Ford's growing hybrid and electric vehicle portfolio helps put Ford just behind Toyota among the top seller of hybrids in America. Scope out the images in the gallery above and the video clip and press release below for a closer look.
2015 Roush Mustang lineup officially revealed
Thu, 02 Oct 2014
Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
