1985 Ford F-350
We have here a real piece of the americana landscape of the us, ne of the very early working mans truck here. We operated this truck for aprox. 10 yrs in our landscaping business, auling trash, irewood, umber, ulling trailers, ulch, eaves, tc. We have decided to sell the truck to a new owner, nd it was not an easy decision, s we were working on a full restoration of this truck but only partially finished the restore as you will see in the pics and description below.1985 Ford F35, 1,000 G.V.W., riginal four wheel drive, riginal dual rear wheels 16.5", nbsp;9ft. stake dump body, to dump hoist (non electric), olid rust free frame without holes from rust, ccident free since our ownershi, riginal 4 speed manual transmission with creeper gear, on original 7.3 liter 1993 diesel engine (non power stroke), he story/history on this truck is that we became #3 owner in the mid 1990s, ts original color blu, L interior, .9 liter diesel have since been remodified/replace, s we removed all the electric windows and locks inside and went to manual, he bench seat is re upohlstered from velure fabric to blue vinyl with a tear since, he truck was repainted twice in the 20 yrs since we owned it, he last time it was painted its current colors was feb. 2006, he white stripe you see is painted and not vinyl and this paint still looks exceptionally well considering we only drove it 2 months with new paint and parked it then in 2006. The amount of money we paid for the body work at that time was $3500.00, nd that consisted of replaced drivers door, eatherstripping inside door jams on both sides, rand new insulated floor mat from door to door, rivers side fender, ood, river side rocker panel and more all because we did not want any bondo/plastic filler in this truck at the time and keep it all meta, hortly after painting the truck in 2006 we parked the truck and everything on it worked fine other than the speedometer cable(broken) and have not driven it on the road since that time. This trucks engine was upgrade in early 2000s to a 7.3 liter 1993 international non power stroke engine., s we hired a shop to install the 7.3 engine in the truck. We had the rea, rear rebuilt in the early 2000s. This truck does not currently run but can and will need to be gone over, ew inspection must be done by new owner, nd the stake body floor wood part of the bed must be replaced the side stake pockets and we have the original stake sides for the back as well, he steel sissor hoist from the piston to the bed was completly replaced with heavier channel than original in early 2000s. This truck will still need some mechanical work on the diesel engine before road worthy again, nd the body as well INCLUDING: FLOOR REPAIR, AB MOUNT, EW BATTERIES, OME ENGINE MAINT/REPAIR, MECHANIC?, LEMISHES MILEAGE IS UNCERTAIN AS THE SPEEDOMETER CABLE IS NOT WORKING, LEASE IGNORE THE 9,000,000 IN THE LISTING FORMAT stake bed etc. The hood latch does not close. but I must say, verall you have a complete truck with most parts OEM, amp; you will be hard pressed to find a 30 year old truck of this year, f this make, f these componets, T ALL, NYWHERE ON THE PLANET, hat is complete like this F350 here, nd it was my true pride in joy truck and am having a hard time parting with it, ut finally made the decision to do just that with a really rare find here. You will see parts missing and we more than likely have most of those parts and will collect all parts that go along with this truck to the new owner. We also purchased a western uni mount plow that we bought in 1999 brand new, nd only used this truck in the winter of 1999-2000 for a single snow event and never used it again, e still have the truck wired and a plow frame up front as we are not including the plow, rame or plow, r any of the wiring with the sale of this 1985 f350 truck here, nd all those snow equipt parts will be removed from the truck prior to pick up from the buyer at the end of this auction here. We will have all that snow equiptment removed from this truck and available for sale outside this auction here??.When we parked this truck everything worked on it but the speedometer cable was broken and was not keeping the miles accurately. We are not a state inspection garage here only backyard mechanics but have owned ford trucks for 30 yrs. so if there are any questions you have about the truck please ask prior to the end of aucton The new owner of this truck will have to have this truck towed from our location to its new home, s the F350 truck is currently in non working order and being sold "AS IS CONDITION"ATTENTION ALL INTERESTED & SERIOUS BUYERS!!!!!

2015 Ford Mustang GT [w/video]
Fri, 19 Sep 2014At 50 years old, the object of fantasies, a tuner's dream, a movie star and more than nine million strong, it couldn't be truer to say that the Ford Mustang needs no introduction. This newest Mustang, however - making the biggest changes we've seen to the pony car since perhaps 1964.5 - is something Ford has been introducing all year.
We went on a Deep Dive, covered the way it looks when it was revealed, detailed the engine specs, got a ride in the EcoBoost and listened to the V8, got rolling footage and watched it do a standard-feature burnout.
The only thing left to do? Drive it. Having now done so for a few hours around Los Angeles, what we can tell you is to forget everything you know about the Mustang. This new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost
Fri, 16 May 2014Earlier this week, Ford invited us to Charlotte, NC, to ride in an all-new 2015 Mustang fitted with its turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. It's the first forced-induction, four-cylinder ponycar for the Blue Oval since the sun set on the 1986 Mustang SVO. We jumped at the opportunity, as only a handful of people have ever been in the passenger seat of this new car, and most automotive media won't get as close as we did until this fall.
As we revealed in our Deep Dive, Ford will slot this new turbocharged four as premium powerplant between its naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 and the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8. At last mention, the automaker said the direct-injected, all-aluminum engine will develop 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, returning the best fuel economy of the three powerplants in the process. History buffs will note that those figures are appreciably stouter than the 200 horses and 240 lb-ft that the '86 SVO realized out of the same displacement, and the latter's figures were hugely impressive at the time. On paper, the new EcoBoost four looks to be a good fit for most owners who want to balance performance with efficiency - we were eager to see how it felt from the passenger seat.

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values
Tue, 18 Mar 2014We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
