This is a nice 1955 Ford F250 V8 Stake Bed Truck.  Better than average condition normally seen, especially in this neck of the woods.  Truck is in original condition, has not been redone.  Was used as a farm truck for most of it's life.  First in Wisconsin, then in Minnesota until about 1977.  Originally came with a 239 V8, which put out about 113 HP, but owner in Minnesota ran it out of oil and replaced it with a 59-60 292 V8, which was a nice upgrade because it put out about 193 HP.  Engine runs great.  Always starts, even in below zero temperatures.  Truck has been used at least weekly on short trips to neighbors since I've had it, which is over a year.  Prior to that is was stored in a pole shed for about 30 years.  Last year it was registered prior to me was 1977.  Drives fine.  Has four speed manual transmission with granny.  Clutch works fine.  Has manual steering.  Has manual brakes that work, but should be upgraded if to be used on longer trips.  Heater and defrost seem to work.  All gauges work except fuel and temp.  Tires are pretty good.  All glass is good, except drivers door window is cracked.  Body is not bad.  A few rust spots in the corners, but looks good.  Frame is also in good shape.  Floor is in decent shape.  Original mats are still there.   Interior isn't bad either.  Dash and doors look good.  Seat is a little worn on drivers side back.  Was stored in pole building most of it's life.  Hood is nice.  Has the F100 emblems on the hood for some reason unknown to me.  Original metal identification plate in glove box.  Has 12 volt electrical system.  All lights, horn and blinkers work.  Has 43320 original miles and odometer does work.   Have clear title and is currently registered/licensed.  Identification plate says it is a F250 3/4T made in Dallas, Texas, 6900 GVWR, 118" wheel base, 4.86 differential.  Would make a fun driver the way it is, or a nice base to start with on a restore.  See pictures for best description.  Contact me with questions of if more pictures are needed.  Will assist in loading.  Can be driven on to trailer.  Delivery is a possible option depending on distance.  Can be discussed with buyer.  Accepted offers, over my starting price, is always possible, using the "buy it now" option, as long as no bids have been placed.

Meet Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller, Iowa's latest hatchet-wielding criminal

Fri, Jul 11 2014

Well, we've found the long-lost cousin of yesterday's Bentley-tattooed criminal from Florida. This is Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller. No, seriously. While his name seems just like the sort of thing we'd expect the Sunshine State to produce, he actually hails from Iowa. Despite coming from the Hawkeye State, Miller was arrested for a decidedly Floridian offense – getting in a bar fight and then returning with a hatchet. The only way this story could be more Florida is if meth, a manatee or bath salts were involved. The fight, which was at the Cheap Seats Sports Bar, started off typically enough, with a verbal argument in the parking lot (please, please let his nemesis be named "Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Smith"). This, naturally, attracted passing police officers. Things were broken up and some friends took Miller to his home, which was apparently just behind the bar. That's when he returned with the hatchet tucked under his shirt. Miller promptly proceeded to take out the implement of destruction in the bar's bathroom and... forget about it entirely. Fortunately, the police hadn't left the area yet. Not surprisingly, Miller was arrested for a parole violation, as well as public intoxication and going armed with intent. Still, cool name, bro.

Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.

Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Is there a more iconic, American racecar than the Ford GT40? That may be a discussion for another day (although by all means, tell us how wrong we are in Comments), but this video of heaps of GT40s running in the Goodwood Revival races certainly has us thinking that Ford's Ferrari-killer might just be the best racer the Land Of The Free and Home Of The Brave has ever come up with.
That's completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 was largely developed by Brits using American money, but that's besides the point (there was also a rather brash Texan, who had a big role later in development). The resulting vehicle was dominant, besting the cars of Il Commendatore from 1966 to 1969, although it should be noted that Ford's GT40 was unable to beat Ferrari in its first two Le Mans outings in 1964 and 1965.
Those four years of dominance, which started with Ford sweeping the podium, were enough to establish the GT40's legend. And now, here we are almost 50 years later, celebrating the mid-engined monsters at Goodwood, in their first ever one-make race. Take a look below for the entire video.
