Gunnison, Colorado, United States

 1978 Ford F150 4x4. 351M, C6
NOTE: Truck has clear title.  It is missing the VIN plate on the drivers door jam.
This is an excellent example of a clean & rust free "dent-side" ford pickup.  The truck is a rare short bed 4x4.  Sitting high with a skyjacker suspension lift and 37" tires on new 16.5 rock crawler rims.  Beautiful pearl maroon paint sparkles in the sun and compliments the all black trim.  This truck is a true eye catcher and looks phenomenal, I have had many compliments on the appearance.  The truck has square headlights like a 1979 Ford.  All lights, signals and gauges work except the dome light.  Electrically, this truck is solid and doesn't have any ignition issues or shorts.

The 351M motor runs strong and is fed through a completely rebuilt Motorcraft 2150 2bbl carburetor.  Motor has all new plugs and wires, new filters, pcv valve and is vacuum leak free. Dana 44 high pinion front axle and 9" rear axle.  3.50 gears keeps the RPM's down on the highway.  Truck gets between 10-12 MPG!  Hi/low transfer case NP205.  Brand new rear drive shaft.

Interior is clean.  New LMC carpet covers rust free floor pans.  Dash cover w/no cracks.  Seat is in fine condition.  Door panels are not perfect but workable (see pictures).  All glass is solid.

Only issue: Cannot get the rear trim over the wheel wells to sit flush with the fender.  The OEM clips are difficult to work with and I didn't want to mess with them.  The new owner can decide how they want to deal with the rear trim.

Truck drives great, doesn't overheat over Colorado mountain passes.  Tracks straight but drives like a 79 with big wheels.  I wouldn't take it over 75mph.  I trust driving this truck anywhere, it doesn't use oil.

Call for more details: 303 956 6990.   Truck is for sale locally! I reserve the right to remove listing at any time.  Thank you!

Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.

Ford Mustang GT350 seen and heard in motion for the first time

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

We just recently saw our first spy shots of the next-gen hi-po Ford Mustang slated to replace the Shelby GT500, but now we're getting our first look - and listen - of prototypes captured on video. Mustang6g.com has the video (along with some different spy shots), which show that, if nothing else, SVT knows how to tune an exhaust system. The :50 mark is a good example of this, but fast-forward to around 2:00 where the driver revs the engine and really gets on the throttle hard taking off from a stop.
There's still no definitive evidence that the next-gen SVT Mustang - said to be called GT350 - will be naturally aspirated, but it sounds just as menacing as the current Shelby GT500. While the video posted below exhibits the sort of quality that is to be expected from someone driving while trying to film someone who is attempting to elude being filmed, it's still exciting to see and hear this new Mustang in motion.
