FANTASTIC CLASSIC TRUCK THAT DEFINED A GENERATION. THIS TRUCK IS IN AMZING CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE. CLEAN AND STRAIGHT PANELS WITH NO BODY WORK. PAINT FINISH STILL HAS IMPRESSIVE SHINE. This truck has serious MUSCLE!

1977 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT 4WD with a short box, 4" Factory Lift, Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold (4 barrel) Holley 750 Double pumper Carb, 86K miles, Stainless Headers going to Flow Master dual exhaust that SOUNDS AMAZING! The original owner ordered this truck direct from Ford in '77 with the 429 cu in engine, which is the same block as the 460, just a shorter stroke. 10,000 LB HEAVY DUTY TOW PACKAGE W/Step up bumper and trailer brake system mounted in cab.

Original Carpet and seats were worn excessively, so the first thing I did after I bought it from the original owner in Tacoma, Washington was replaced the carpet with brand new black cut pile, and replaced the cloth blue seat with black vinyl (looks and feels like new Leather). New wing mirrors. All improvements/restorations were done through LMC catalogs, so stock (or closest to OEM) products were used.

Also, the truck has over $2,000.00 in Dynamat, Dynapad, and Dynaliner installed under the carpet, seats, and on the firewall to reduce road noise/vibrations in the cab. Extra sheets of Dynamat Xtreme will be provided with truck sale.

All gauges work and function as they should. The heater core was just replaced as well as the Starter Solenoid, Power Steering pump and return lines, and washer motor pump. New seat belts (black to match new black upholstery). New gaskets on cab around doors & glass. Fender Flares matching existing paint. I've put $5000 into restorations in the past year, while maintaining the stock look.

The truck looks and feels like American Muscle... the engine creates huge power and beautiful sound. The only thing slowing this beautiful beast down, is perhaps the differential/gearing. The gear ratios are for pulling and torque, but with a little wrenching, this truck can easily generate over 500 HP at the rear wheel... My NHRA mechanic had me inline next to complete a custom build with forged aluminum pistons, and an EFI conversion... yet, I recently became a first time father and things like this just aren't practical for now : (

Please call with any questions, or email me. I can start it if the exhaust sound is something that gets your blood going like mine!

Buyer is responsible for taking delivery of the vehicle. Seller maintains the right to sell to private party locally within auction time. $2,000.00 USD deposit is required within 24 hours of auction ending, and must provide certified (bank/cashier's check) at time of pick up. Clear title and no maintenance issues whatsoever, yet, sale is AS IS.

Thank you for your time! Best of LUCK and Happy Bidding!

Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

I'm not overly inclined to professional jealousy, as a rule. Sure, I go a bit green around the eyes when Ramsey draws the 911 GT3 trip to Weissach, Harley is tapped-in to drive a completely stunning Porsche 911 by Singer, or, you know, Drew Phillips gets to shoot a Lamborghini Veneno in the middle of a desert like some sort of sheik. I hate you guys...
Honestly though, one of the new car events that dug me the most, was when our Steven J. Ewing got to fling the Ford Fiesta ST around some hot corner of Europe. What goes around comes around, I suppose, as Mr. Ewing himself espoused an envious nature of the Focus ST trip that came before.
The good news in all this covetous intra-office behavior? All the cars mentioned, and specifically the Fiesta ST, are just wonderful to drive. I can say that with more confidence than ever now, having joined Ford for a good bit of Fiesta-flinging myself. In my case, the locale was slightly more pedestrian (Michigan not Portugal), and the car in question was the five-door version of the Fiesta ST that we get here in The States, as opposed to the three-door number they get across the pond.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
