Auto score rates the "average" Sportrac between "56 and 75". THIS TRUCK SCORES "84"!! IT'S NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND NEVER A MAJOR PROBLEM REPORTED OF ANY KIND!! It's really a beautiful sharp looking ride, and handles great on the road. The newer Michelin tires really give a smooth ride. The truck, as you can see by the pics is in great shape. There is minor fraying in the seat of the drivers side. It appears someone before I owned it liked to carry something they should't have in their back right pocket. Although frayed the seat itself is in good shape, and no attention is needed to the seat as it's still strong under the fraying (see pic). There is one small and not too deep 1/2" dent and that's it. There are some scratches that have been touched up, but the truck looks GREAT!!! There WILL BE A NEW OIL CHANGE after sold. That's not because it needs one now. The mileage shown in the inside pic is about 1,200 more miles, as all pics were taken and put on Ebay by a friend I was visiting in Florida, so please call my Missouri phone number for any questions. Please call Larry at 417-379-3330. The truck is sold with a clear Missouri title. NADA with options lists the truck for "clean retail" at $11,050.00. I've seen them priced even higher. I'm offering the truck at a very fair price. The truck can be seen in Springfield, Missouri. 65806. Bid in confidence. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.

Jay Leno is far beyond driven in his 1971 Pantera

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Perhaps it's fitting that the band Pantera is known for its heavy metal music, because the DeTomaso Pantera is the automotive equivalent of a metal album. It's short, aggressive and makes a mean sound. It doesn't mess around either, with a Ford 351-cubic-inch (5.75-liter) V8 sending mountains of torque to the rear wheels. This week, Jay Leno takes us on a detailed tour of his '71 to show why it rocks.
There's a regular format to Jay Leno's Garage. It starts with Jay and maybe a guest taking a look at the car and talking about its history, and then they take it out on the open road. However, this video is practically a Pantera buyer's guide. Jay is adamant from the start that the last thing anyone should own is a stock example. To remedy this, he and his guest, the editor of the Pantera Club magazine, take viewers to school about some of the ways to turn them into even better performance machines.
No matter what you do to it, though, the Pantera requires that the driver adapt to it, not the other way around. For example, Jay isn't a big guy by most standards, but he has to cram himself into the cockpit with his shoes off and shirt partially unbuttoned just to go for a drive. Still, once out on the road, it all makes sense with that rumbling V8 and those Italian supercar looks. Scroll down to watch and learn a lot more about this uncompromising '70s performance car.

J Mays' legacy

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".
