Your are looking at hands down one of the coolest trucks on the road. This is a 1955 F-350 dually. Originally from Virginia and I found this truck locally a couple years ago. According to the data tag in the glove box it has 5.14 gears in the rear and was originally red. The kid who had it before me had the whole rat rod thing going so I stuck with it but re painted the truck white with 25% gloss in order to give it a satin look. Im not professional body man but it looks a lot better then when I first bought it. I put a roll in bed liner in the back and repainted the stack (that came with it when I bought it) and interior. The truck was supposed to come with a 239 v8 or Y block but according to a small tag on the current motor it has a 256 in it from a company in Richmond. I have no idea how many miles are on the truck as the speedo and odometer do not work. The lights work but I am missing two lenses for the passenger side rear lights. It has new glass and rubber on the passenger side door and I have new glass and rubber for the driver side door but have no time to put it in. The paint job is not perfect since it has to sit outside and I dont have a cover but it still turns heads everywhere. I replaced the original "widow maker" three piece wheels with a set from a newer box truck style vehicle I found in a junk yard and had the rims machined to fit this truck so it now has radial tires. The engine trans and rear all leak, but it is hands down the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned as long as you top off all fluids when needed. It has a three speed with a granny gear, non power drum brakes and non power steering. The windshield wipers do not work either. All in all this truck may not be a cream puff and it may only go 60/65 mph but it looks and sounds cooler than almost any other classic truck on the road. I have never gotten more compliments on a vehicle than I have on this truck. Any local bidders are more than welcome to come see the truck in person and go for a ride before purchase. And again this is a factory dually! I have yet to find another like it for sale. Feel free to ask any questions or if I can take more pictures to give you a better idea of what its all about I will be more than happy to do so. This is a very solid well preserved, rare piece of american history with a little twist of cool. Thanks! Happy Bidding!

Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial
Wed, 28 May 2014How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.
2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
Ford Ranger-based 7-seat SUV spotted testing
Wed, 29 May 2013Ford looks to be working on a new SUV version of its global Ranger pickup truck. An early prototype of a seven-passenger SUV based on the Ranger has been spotted testing in Australia, and word has it buyers in the region could expect to see the model in showrooms as soon as 2014, where it could sail under the Endeavour or Everest badges. Ford Australia currently sells the Territory SUV, so there's some chance that this model could be a successor to that throne, as well.
Whatever it's called, the long-roof Ranger will feature a shorter wheelbase and more ground clearance than its pickup twin, giving the machine a bit more off-road functionality. (And here we thought we couldn't want the global Ranger any more than we already do.) While this particular vehicle sports a Territory back half grafted onto a Ranger front end, odds are a public reveal of the finished product could occur as soon as the second half of 2014, making it a 2015 model.
