Luck, Wisconsin, United States

This is a nice 1955 Ford F250 V8 Stake Bed Truck.  Better than average condition normally seen, especially in this neck of the woods.  Truck is in original condition, has not been redone.  Was used as a farm truck for most of it's life.  First in Wisconsin, then in Minnesota until about 1977.  Originally came with a 239 V8, which put out about 113 HP, but owner in Minnesota ran it out of oil and replaced it with a 59-60 292 V8, which was a nice upgrade because it put out about 193 HP.  Engine runs great.  Always starts, even in below zero temperatures.  Truck has been used at least weekly on short trips to neighbors since I've had it, which is over a year.  Prior to that is was stored in a pole shed for about 30 years.  Last year it was registered prior to me was 1977.  Drives fine.  Has four speed manual transmission with granny.  Clutch works fine.  Has manual steering.  Has manual brakes that work, but should be upgraded if to be used on longer trips.  Heater and defrost seem to work.  All gauges work except fuel and temp.  Tires are pretty good.  All glass is good, except drivers door window is cracked.  Body is not bad.  A few rust spots in the corners, but looks good.  Frame is also in good shape.  Floor is in decent shape.  Original mats are still there.   Interior isn't bad either.  Dash and doors look good.  Seat is a little worn on drivers side back.  Was stored in pole building most of it's life.  Hood is nice.  Has the F100 emblems on the hood for some reason unknown to me.  Original metal identification plate in glove box.  Has 12 volt electrical system.  All lights, horn and blinkers work.  Has 43320 original miles and odometer does work.   Have clear title and is currently registered/licensed.  Identification plate says it is a F250 3/4T made in Dallas, Texas, 6900 GVWR, 118" wheel base, 4.86 differential.  Would make a fun driver the way it is, or a nice base to start with on a restore.  See pictures for best description.  Contact me with questions of if more pictures are needed.  Will assist in loading.  Can be driven on to trailer.  Delivery is a possible option depending on distance.  Can be discussed with buyer.  Accepted offers, over my starting price, is always possible, using the "buy it now" option, as long as no bids have been placed.

Facelifted Ford Focus caught testing in the cold

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

It's that time in the life of the Ford Focus to get a little work done - a nip-tuck here, some Botox there. Yes, Ford is testing a facelifted version of its global C-segment entry, which first hit markets in Europe and North America in May 2011.
Like the touchup on the Fiesta, expect Ford's gaping grille to make its first appearance on the Focus. Our spy photographers point out that this is likely to be a more comprehensive makeover than previous spy shots suggested, based on the additional camouflage seen here on the front and rear ends of this five-door model. New head and taillights are also likely in order, as are changes to the front and rear fascia.
The interior was also snapped and features a cleaner design with a larger central display. Other than that, it looks like some buttons have been changed, making us think most of the Focus' updates are limited to the exterior.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.

Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.
