This pickup is in very good condition. There is some surface rust, but no serious corrosion. My mechanic had it up on a lift and the under carriage was in great shape. The gears have been synchronized so you don't have to double clutch when shifting. It also runs on regular unleaded gas. I'm not going to lie, I really don't know that much about it, but I do know that the body and engine are in great shape. I've barely driven it in the past year and a half, and I although I hate to part with it, it needs somebody who is going to love it and care for it. It's painted the original color which (I think) is called Meadow Mist Green. In fact, the gas tank behind the seat still has the original paint on it. I had the title, but when I registered it with the state of Connecticut they took it because you don't need the title for cars manufactured before 1980. I do have the bills of sale from the last 2 owners. Like I stated in the description, the odometer has never worked since I've had it, the horn is missing under the hood, the side mirror fell out (but I have it) and it's finicky about starting in the cold weather. Oh yeah, and that leaky windshield because the previous owner installed the wrong one. Again, the body is in great shape, there is no rust or corrosion on the running boards, fenders, or hood. There is some surface rust on the tailgate and a couple of other spots. I've got pictures of all of those areas. The bed was beautifully restored and varnished, but I left it out one summer, and the varnish is all worn off. The underneath is still shiny and varnished. Email with any questions, and I will provide you with as many details as possible. Anything I can't answer, I will refer you to my mechanic.

I would like a $1,000 deposit within 48 hours of the sale, and the remainder of the payment within 7 days. I will accept a certified check or cash. Buyer is responsible for all delivery and transportation costs.

Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.

Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and EV Buyer's Guide: Which one do you want?

Fri, Nov 10 2017

If you're shopping for a new vehicle these days, there's a litany of acronyms, buzzwords, and technobabble to further complicate an already difficult decision. But if you're looking at a green powertrain, you have three basic choices to compare: hybrid, plug-in hybrid and "EV" or, electric vehicle. So what are they and which one — if any Â— is right for you? Research your next new vehicle using Autoblog's Car Finder. Gasoline-Electric Hybrids By now, most people are familiar with the concept of a hybrid car. Thank Toyota's Prius for that. At its most basic, a hybrid vehicle has two powertrains, one gasoline and one electric, which work together for maximum efficiency. At low speeds, the engine can shut off entirely, relying solely on the battery for propulsion. The battery is either charged as you drive by converting kinetic energy into potential energy via a complex regenerative braking system, or directly off of the gas motor. This is a very hands-off, behind-the-scenes system as all the driver has to is put in gas and drive as normal. Hybrids come in all shapes and sizes and, according to the EPA, range in fuel economy from 58 mpg for the Hyundai Ioniq Blue all the way down to 13 mpg for the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta. Best For: Anyone who want to see their fuel consumption go down without many sacrifices. You can easily find a hybrid sedan, hatchback, crossover, SUV or even a pickup truck (i f you can find one). Best of all, a hybrid requires no special equipment to be installed at home, or added work for the driver. Hybrids do cost more than traditionally-powered competitors, so make sure to compare projected fuel savings with how much extra a hybrid will cost Â– it may take a surprisingly long time to break even. The EPA provides a handy calculator for this very purpose. Our Favorite Hybrids: 2017 Toyota Prius 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid Plug-In Hybrids Sometimes referred to as a PHEV, or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, this is a baby-step towards full electrification. Armed with a much larger battery pack than a hybrid, PHEVs can go between 12 ( Mercedes-Benz GLE550e) and 97 ( BMW i3 w/Range Extender) miles on electricity alone depending on the model and your driving style. Like a normal hybrid, the driver is largely unaware of which power source is currently in use, even as they switch over Â— either because the battery is drained, or the driving circumstances require more power.
