1978 Ford F-150 4x4 (low Reserve) on 2040-cars
Gunnison, Colorado, United States
1978 Ford F150 4x4. 351M, C6 NOTE: Truck has clear title. It is missing the VIN plate on the drivers door jam. This is an excellent example of a clean & rust free "dent-side" ford pickup. The truck is a rare short bed 4x4. Sitting high with a skyjacker suspension lift and 37" tires on new 16.5 rock crawler rims. Beautiful pearl maroon paint sparkles in the sun and compliments the all black trim. This truck is a true eye catcher and looks phenomenal, I have had many compliments on the appearance. The truck has square headlights like a 1979 Ford. All lights, signals and gauges work except the dome light. Electrically, this truck is solid and doesn't have any ignition issues or shorts. The 351M motor runs strong and is fed through a completely rebuilt Motorcraft 2150 2bbl carburetor. Motor has all new plugs and wires, new filters, pcv valve and is vacuum leak free. Dana 44 high pinion front axle and 9" rear axle. 3.50 gears keeps the RPM's down on the highway. Truck gets between 10-12 MPG! Hi/low transfer case NP205. Brand new rear drive shaft. Interior is clean. New LMC carpet covers rust free floor pans. Dash cover w/no cracks. Seat is in fine condition. Door panels are not perfect but workable (see pictures). All glass is solid. Only issue: Cannot get the rear trim over the wheel wells to sit flush with the fender. The OEM clips are difficult to work with and I didn't want to mess with them. The new owner can decide how they want to deal with the rear trim. Truck drives great, doesn't overheat over Colorado mountain passes. Tracks straight but drives like a 79 with big wheels. I wouldn't take it over 75mph. I trust driving this truck anywhere, it doesn't use oil. Call for more details: 303 956 6990. Truck is for sale locally! I reserve the right to remove listing at any time. Thank you!

First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?
Thu, 18 Jul 2013A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.
Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
Ford unveils Mustang 50th anniversary logo, plans merchandise
Tue, 26 Mar 2013The Ford Mustang turns 50 years old this year, and this is the logo that will announce the milestone occasion on a special line of merchandise. The graphic is the result of an internal design competition, and Ford will give 50 different companies the license to use it on traditional logo merchandise like shirts and watches, along with some untraditional items like pinball machines.
Ford is going to begin the celebrations at this week's New York Auto Show and continue them throughout the year, but April 17 is the official birthday of the the pony car that just won't quit. You can expect to start seeing anniversary merchandise in the next couple of weeks.
