1950 FORD PICKUP (NOT FOR SUNDAY DRIVING)

You are looking at a 1950 Ford Pickup that is anything but standard or run of the mill.  I have to give a little background to this vehicle before describing it.  This was my father n laws truck.  He wanted something that would burn the tires and go real fast and he wanted something different.  He used to race NHRA back in the mid to late sixties and early seventies.  He had been working on this truck for several years trying to complete it and finally did.  Unfortunately the truck was completed several weeks before he passed away.  He died of cancer last October and was too sick to actually see the truck before he passed away.  I am selling the truck for my mother n law.

OTHER INFORMATION:

Nova Front Stub

Rebuilt Turbo 400 Transmission using performance rebuild kit

Ford 9 inch differential

B&M Pro Stick Shifter

Mickey Thompson Tires

Centerline racing rims

Battery and gas tank placed in .40 aluminum fabricated bed of truck
 
The engine and Transmission have less than 30 miles on them (just enough to get it home from the shop that finished it). 
 
Now for some of the bad:
 
This vehicle has some rough spots on the body.  I tried to show all "bubbles" from rust under the paint.  The paint itself is a little rough and there are also some scratches that I tried to show.  The passenger side door doesn't open from the outside.  Some of the gages inside don't work - I only drove it from the garage that put it together to my father n law's garage.  I will be happy to answer any questions about the truck (309-337-6322).  The bottom line is that he wanted something to go real fast and wasn't worried about how it looked initially. 
 
A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due within 48hrs of the final winning bid.  I can also help arrange local shipping if needed but buyer is responsible for cost of shipping.  If you are not satisfied with purchase I can arrange to refund the $500.00 deposit.  Like I said I am doing my best in describing a vehicle I know little about.

2013 Ford Explorer Sport

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.

Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...
