1976 Ford F750 Crew Cab Oleynik Enclosed Race Car Transporter- Vintage Car Safe on 2040-cars
Petaluma, California, United States
|
I purchased this truck about three years ago from a well regarded PNW vintage racer who put one race car inside and another on a trailer and towed everything to the track. When I bought the truck it was in storage in southern California. A friend flew down to pick it up, loaded in a Buick Skylark in LA and drove it to San Francisco without incident. I had plans to preserve the vintage character but upgrade to diesel power. That project never was initiated. Instead the truck has served as a rolling garage and tow truck for my street Alfa Romeos. The paint appears to be original, but the gloss is long gone. All the body panels appear original condition. No evidence of collision damage/repair. The interior is in very good condition. No rips or tears in the vinyl seats, front or rear. Carpet is fine. Headliner should be replace as some water intrusion has warped the backing board. The box is 20' x 8' x 8'. Tee side compartments include a gas generator for trackside repairs. Rear roll-up door is wood, and is starting to rot on the bottom panel (seen only from inside) and should be replaced. The interior paneling is in good condition. The solid oak floor is in excellent condition. Electric winch is recessed into the floor. Fiberglass roof fairing. Good tIres including a spare front tire/wheel. The engine is a V8, 5sp manual, 2sp differential. Hydraulic brakes. LR brake cylinder leaks. Pinion seal leaks. Steering gear box has a lot of play in it. This truck has been largely off the road for a few years and requires some attention (wheel cylinder, steering gear box) to be ready for anything more than a cross town haul, mostly because of the wheel cylinder. Good oil pressure. Gauges work, lights work, turn signals work. To travel any considerable distance the truck should be transported on a flat bed trailer to your location. The wheel cylinder can be repaired locally for a couple hours labor at a reputable big rig shop. I can arrange the repairs for the buyer prior to pick up.
NO RESERVE! THIS TRUCK WILL SELL TO THE BEST BID This truck is outdoors in a secured location and does not have to be moved immediately. If you purchase the truck it can stay until summer, rent-free. The truck is located in Sonoma County, 40 minutes north of San Francisco, CA. |

2014 Ford Mustang GT
Fri, 17 May 2013I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.
Driving Notes
Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
Ford spills SEMA all over its Expeditions
Sat, 01 Nov 2014If you're going to this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, it's going to be tough to miss the Ford booth, simply for its size. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen customized examples of the 2015 Mustang and a quintet of modded Transits. The latest announced addition is a trio of upgraded 2015 Expeditions showing different takes on the recently refreshed SUV.
Any vehicle tuned by Dub Magazine needs to ride on massive wheels, and the Expedition (pictured above) that it has for SEMA is no exception. The SUV has 26-inch Dropstars wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires, and, making them look even larger, the suspension is also lowered. The rest of the custom has some mild upgrades like mesh grilles in front, tinted windows, an integrated radar detector and new upholstery inside.
Tijn wants to boost the performance of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 for its take on the Expedition. The company claims to add 40 horsepower to bring total output to a claimed 405 by upgrading the engine with a charge cooler from Vortech Engineering, a custom side exhaust and a custom tune. To match the extra grunt, the SUV also gets bigger brakes, an Air Lift suspension and 24-inch, copper-colored wheels with custom fender flares.
