Just in from Palm Springs, California, this truck is a beauty. It appears to have had one repaint. It's no show truck, but it has a very shiny black finish that looks very good. I get many thumbs up driving this one; it's a driver - looks good, and you don't have to fuss over it and worry about every little nick and scratch. I don't want to overstate (or understate, really) the looks of this truck - it has chips and flaws here and there, etc... however, it really is shiny and nice looking. And, since I believe the truck to have been a California truck all it's life (Calfornia title will be sent to you upon purchase), it is as rust-free and nice as any 44 year old west coast vehicle can be. Underneath is as clean as the top side. The bed appears to have never been used for work - I'm guessing the pickup must have been mostly a passenger vehicle, as I was unable to find any sign that the bed had seen any real truck use. Also, I'd guess that it had an older restoration on it, as the fuel system was full of old fuel when we bought the truck - we've since had thousands of dollars worth of work done on the truck, and I will gladly include the receipts with the sale. 

Powered by Ford's 360 V-8, this three speed (on the tree) truck has manual brakes and manual steering. While in Palm Springs this winter, the truck was completely serviced; brakes checked, wheel bearings packed, all fluids flushed and refilled - coolant, brake fluid, transmission and rear end, Holley carb rebuilt, new fuel filter and new fuel tank / sending unit along with a new battery. New glass pack mufflers were added to the dual exhaust. New Rocket Racing Torq Thrust rims were installed. A complete new clutch, flywheel and throwout bearing have been installed, along with a new speedometer cable. Three-point shoulder seat belts are already installed in the truck, replacing the factory lap belts. New "Ranger XLT" side emblems were added (if you notice the photos with the white "Ranger" were the old emblems, the reproduction new emblems have a black "Ranger" as shown in one of the photos - the old emblems had flaking paint and one was broken. The brand new emblems really set off the look of the truck!)

In addition, a few areas of the paint were attended to - an area on the driver's door was professionally repainted below the trim, a spot on the rear top of the cab and also the top half of the tailgate were repainted.

The truck originally had woodgrain decals on the side trim and tailgate - they were decaying and in bad shape, so the trim was removed and stripped of all wood grain, and bright red paint added for a much sportier look.

One piece of vinyl was replaced on the lower driver's side seat (it had worn) otherwise the upholstery seems to be fantastic original. There are a few things here and there that you could do if you choose - the truck can be enjoyed as-is or easily take to whatever level you wish.

This vehicle is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to remove this listing any time. If you're seriously interested in the truck, make me an offer and we can discuss it. I'll be glad to work with your shipping company and assist in any way I can. The truck is located in Fargo, ND 58103.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Concentrated ST Formula Proves Just As Potent
I'm not the jealous type... usually. But I will fully admit to being somewhat of a Pouty Polly when I read executive editor Chris Paukert's report after driving the then-new 2013 Ford Focus ST through the impossibly pretty southern French Alps region last June. I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but hot hatchbacks hold a special place in my heart. And while I'm always giddy to drive any sort of small, turbocharged three- or five-door at home in Detroit, my jealousy was indeed piqued after hearing Paukert tell about the challenging yet breathtaking roads he encountered while driving the flamin' yellow Focus. You know, the sort of roads that, from above, look like carelessly drizzled lines of icing on the frosted Alpen caps.
Several months later, I found myself piloting a Focus ST just west of metro Detroit, pitting it head-to-head against one of Autoblog's perennial favorite cars, the Volkswagen GTI. It was fantastic - enough so that I fully stand behind my statement that in terms of balls-out performance, the Focus ST cannot be beat as far as today's front-wheel-drive hatches are concerned.

Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany

Sat, 29 Jun 2013

Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.

Wrap up some fun with Ford's commercial vehicle configurator

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

Ford has combined multiple steps into one with its commercial vehicle configurator, which allows users to choose, design and place orders for the Transit, Transit Connect, E-Series vans and F-Series Super Duty trucks.
The most interesting part of the new configurator is a fairly robust design tool. Users are able to choose paint color and wrap the vehicle, and then create their own graphics. No materials are needed - Ford provides numerous background textures, text boxes, plenty of shapes and 20 categories of images including floral, construction, plumbing and skylines. Self-created designs or images can be uploaded to the system as well.
We played around with the design tool a bit and uploaded our own image to create the Autoblog Podcast Live van you see here. Feel free to check out the configurator and make your own design.
