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.

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.

Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Survey says, drivers that go green stay green. I'm Adam Morath and this is your Autoblog Minute. Ford commissioned a survey of 10,000 electric vehicle owners, posing the question: What would will you buy next? 92 percent of plugged-in Americans said they planned to buy electric again, citing a preference for clean tech and the instant power provided by an electric motor. But what about drivers who live in states with fewer or no plug-in incentives? [00:00:30] Autoblog spoke with Stephanie Janczak who works with electric vehicle technology at Ford: [00:01:00] [STEPHANIE JANCZAK INTERVIEW] Low gas prices and rising truck sales may have stalled EV adoption in the U.S. but Ford's survey shows high satisfaction amongst current EV customers. Begging the question, what will you buy next? Let us know in the comments. For Autoblog, I'm Adam Morath. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive.

Ring Brothers shows 1965-66 Mustang fastback carbon fiber body

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

We covered one of Ring Brothers' more extreme SEMA builds yesterday, the De Tomaso Pantera-based ADRNLN, but if that well-executed but over-the-top Italian-American exotic is too much for you, then perhaps this Ring Brothers 1965 Ford Mustang fastback with a carbon-fiber body suits your tastes better.
What the performance-parts manufacturer is showcasing with the Mustang is the carbon-fiber body itself, which is fashioned around the 1965-66 fastback. It can be bought from the company and bonded to the skin and unibody as a do-it-yourself project, or you can take your Mustang to Ring Brothers and have the body installed there. The fenders, doors and quarter panels are two-inches wider than stock, and Ring Brothers offers a custom widebody chassis to those who want the complete package.
The show car looks sharp in person lowered on HRE wheels, and we appreciate the bare front end so we can see the supercharged V8 and front coilover suspension, though the details on those performance upgrades are slim. Also note the custom independent rear suspension setup at the rear.
