 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!

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars

Tue, 20 Nov 2012

Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.

2015 Ford S-Max adds all-wheel drive, adaptive steering

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

The Blue Oval's 'One Ford' mantra has seen rapid commonization of the automaker's products across markets, but North America still has to look from afar at most of the company's Max-branded people movers, including this new S-Max. That's a bit of a shame - we like the space efficiency and above-average driving dynamics of the C-Max models we do get, but seeing this updated seven-seat small minivan makes us want the One Ford initiative to extend even further.
The new model's changes include an updated powertrain range including a 1.5-liter EcoBoost four with 158 horsepower, and a larger, 237-horsepower, 2.0-liter model, along with a pair of revised lower-emissions 2.0-liter diesels. The big news, however, is the advent of available all-wheel drive, something that hasn't been offered since the S-Max first went on sale back in 2006.
On the technology front, the S-Max is the first European model to receive Ford Adaptive Steering, a variable-ratio technology we recently sampled in a prototype Fusion that is expected to go into production on the next-generation Edge. The S-Max also receives a new aluminum-intensive integral link rear suspension, packaged to continue to fit up to 32 different seating combinations. Safety equipment is always a prime concern in kinschleppers like the S-Max, and to that end, this new model receives pre-collision assist technology and LED headlamps.

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
