1978 F150 Short Bed 4x4 Reg Cab on 2040-cars
Springfield, Illinois, United States
|
Up for sale is this 1978 F150 shortbed 4X4. It has Fords bulletproof 300 6cyl motor which starts and runs good (see oil pressure in pics) backed by a 4 speed trans. Power steering and brakes. Speedo shows 15xxx we are sure its at least 115xxx. The 4X4 with manual locking hubs works like it should. Nice looking truck that a previous owner told me was redone 10+ years ago. Here's what I can say about it now. There is a new(very recent) right front fender and front bumper on it. It must have had a little fender bender because there is no other damage apparent. However the new red paint on that fender makes the faded 10 year old paint look a little lame.There are some rust issues coming back in the bed and bottom of the doors. I took pics of the floor that had been redone and undercoated they look ok. New carpet new bumper new fender nice JVC radio and CD. NO a/c or power windows this is a mans truck. The power steering leaks but I put on a new P/S pump and bought an overhaul kit for the box but don't have time to install(it will come with the truck). I think this truck sat for a while before I got it, I've been driving it around and the brakes are spongy but do stop you. Here's your chance to buy one of Fords classic body style to use as a firewood getter, mud toy or restore a little at a time while driving. These short bed 4X4's are getting hard to find at a decent price. Please do NOT expect a new truck for this price. Being sold as where is. Can hold a while for pickup. I will work with shippers or you can come here and get it. I require a 200.00 nonrefundable deposit. The rest in cash or certified funds on delivery. I will take PayPal for the entire price if you would like. Clear title in hand. I would like to keep it but I bought the wife a Jeep and need the room.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost
Wed, 19 Nov 2014
A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.
Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival
Sun, 14 Sep 2014To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.
Ford Mustang EcoBoost has fake engine soundtrack
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a huge change for the Blue Oval as the first pony car in decades to be available with a four-cylinder engine. But a recent tweet (below) from Road & Track raised our curiosity about the new vehicle. Editor Jason Cammisa pulled a fuse while driving the latest 'Stang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and he found that both the stereo and engine went quiet in the cabin. That indicated the coupe might have some form of artificial engine sound being piped in - a feature not previously heavily reported for the model. Autoblog spoke with Ford engineer Shawn Carney who confirmed that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang comes with this system, called Active Noise Control.
