Clear on 2040-cars
Harvey, Arkansas, United States
Restored 1974 Ford F250 Pickup. Only about 2,000 miles put on it since the rebuild/restoration. Over $17,000 in receipts not including paint and labor (receipts included). We purchased this truck in late 2014 from a retired mechanic who restores vehicles to keep busy. All restoration work was done in 2013-2014. We purchased it for use around our ranch but have used it very little. We are simplifying our lives and need to move it along. This truck has a completely rebuilt Ford FE 390 with Edelbrock aluminum 428cj heads, Sanderson ceramic coated block hugger headers, hi output digital ignition and rebuilt C6 tranny. Modern air conditioning compressor and comp cam. Runs smooth but strong. All new exhaust (the sound is a low rumble) and electric fuel pump with regulator. The interior was redone, all new glass in cab front, side and rear sliding window and a new custom stereo that fits dash. Exterior paint is gun-metal grey and has faint ghost flames on the sides. (Note: the paint has faded in some areas and there are several rust spots coming up underneath the paint in places.) Old logo is airbrushed on the tailgate. (Note: there are some small holes in the bed of the truck, but the bed is still structurally sound. The previous owner had covered it with a heavy rubber mat.) I am not a motor head, but have been told that this engine configuration is worth quite a bit of money on its own. This is not a show truck, but could be a daily driver and a good buy for someone looking for a nice older Ford.

eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs
Sat, 14 Jun 2014He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.
