1954 Ford F250

Truck had complete frame-off restoration about 15 years ago. Frame was coated with POR 15, has new wiring, Ford 302 ci V-8 from a 1970 Torino. Motor has an Edelbrock intake and 4bbl carburetor, Accel HEI ignition and chrome 1 wire alternator. The C 6 automatic transmission and the Dana rear end came out of a 1981 Ford truck which allows the truck to cruise at speed on the Interstate. Have driven it over to Cruisin the Coast the last two years.

The rest of the truck is original including the heater, radio and Fomoco spotlight. The truck has PPG basecoat/clearcoat in original Torch Red and Raven Black. The odometer shows a little over 59,000 miles which due to the history of the truck is believed to be original mileage. The truck was originally purchased by New Orleans Charity Hospital and had been on blocks since the early 70's before I purchased it and restored it. A little interesting note, the truck came from Bolton Ford dealership in New Orleans. Bolton Ford is the dealership that was visited by the FBI shortly after the JFK assassination because somebody claiming to be Lee Harvey Oswald went to the dealership to purchase some trucks for the "Free Cuba" movement a few months before the assassintion.

Anyway, the truck is a great example of an F250; most of these trucks did not survive their youth due to the heavy use they were put through. It has an 8 foot bed finished in Red Oak with White Oak used on the side stakes (which can be removed). The truck runs well, but it is an older restoration. This is a driver and not a show truck. It is great to drive to cruise-ins or to the local Home Depot. This is a solid, heavy duty steel truck with no filler and no fiberglass parts. Original 16 inch rims with fairly new tires.

Truck is sold as is with no warranties expressed or implied. Feel free to ask questions and they will be answered. Low reserve well below true value.

Ford profiles surprisingly affluent Focus ST buyers

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

It comes as no surprise when Ford says that 32-percent of Focus ST buyers are under 35, but we weren't expecting this: the average annual salary of Focus ST buyers is $127,000. Twenty-two percent of non-ST Focus buyers are under 35, while their average annual salary is $67,000.
We like the Focus ST because it has 252 horsepower, is genuinely fun to drive and offers great value for performance-minded car enthusiasts; facts that are not lost on customers, it seems. Ford says that the Focus ST has the highest percentage of conquest sales for a non-hybrid model it sells, and that the top-four trade-ins are from Honda, Chevrolet, Mazda and Toyota. Demand for the hot Focus is strongest in Los Angeles, Detroit, Houston and Orlando.
"[The Focus ST is] having this kind of halo effect for other vehicles we'd hoped for when we invested in the ST brand," says John Felice, vice president of US marketing, sales and service, because it's helping to boost sales of other Ford vehicles.

Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid

Thu, 02 May 2013

No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.
