1970 Ford F250 Camper Special Barn Find on 2040-cars
Catonsville, Maryland, United States
Selling my 1970 Ford F250. I purchased this truck from the second owner around 2008 with the intentions to restore. I need the garage space back and I know I will never find the time to work on it. A little history on the truck, The original owner Mr Beegle purchased this truck brand new from Will Stuckey Ford in Holidaysburg Pa. I was told he purchased the truck to go camping with his wife after his retirement. Around 1990 Mr Beegle passed away and a family friend that always admired the truck purchased it from his estate. I do not believe the truck was used that much after that. It just sat in his barn in storage. Unfortunantly the barn roof leaked causing much of the bed rust. The last time the truck was tagged was around 2005. The truck does run and drive but has no brakes, so it must be trailered. I put some fresh gas in it and a battery and the 360 started right up. It does smoke when running and smells like old gas. It should clear up after all the old gas is run out of the tanks. Please look at all the pictures, this truck is not perfect and is not something that you can get in and drive home. Heres some of the bad.... Needs brake work, the passenger side window regulator will need replaced, has body rust, drivers side mirror is broken, passenger side mirror was removed but will be included, the air horns shown in the engine compartment pics are not included with the truck. also keeping the stainless steel hub caps. Now the good.. The interior of the truck is near mint with no tears or cracks in the seat, still smells new. cab is near perfect with exception to the door bottoms that have some rust, other than that there is no rust in the cab mounts or rain gutters etc. Please examine the pictures and ask questions. Just realize this truck is not perfect and should be gone through before putting it on the road Sold AS-IS!!

Ward's calls out Ford's EcoBoost engines for their crummy fuel economy
Thu, Jan 8 2015With a name like EcoBoost, one might expect Ford's line of turbocharged engines to be somewhat, um, economical. In other words, replacing displacement with a turbocharger is supposed to deliver better fuel economy. Based on the experience time and time again of multiple Autoblog editors, your author included, this is simply not the case. Now, Ward's is calling out the cruddy efficiency numbers of Ford's EcoBoost line of engines. The column dresses down not just the new 2.7-liter V6 of the 2015 F-150, but also the 2.3-liter of the Mustang, the 1.5-liter from the Fusion and the 3.2-liter PowerStroke diesel found in the Transit, while also explaining why just one Ford engine was named to Ward's 10 Best Engines list. In its testing of all four engines, Ward's editors never came even remotely close to matching the 2.7's claimed 26 miles per gallon (for two-wheel-drive models), with the truck's computer indicating between 17.6 and 19 mpg over a 250-odd-mile run. Calculating the fuel economy manually revealed an even more depressing 15.6 miles per gallon. Criticisms with the 2.3-liter four-cylinder focused on its strange soundtrack, although it was business as usual with the 1.5-liter and 3.2 diesel, with Ward's criticizing the fuel economy of both engines. The 1.5, which Ward's claims is sold as a hybrid alternative, failed to get over 30 miles per gallon, while the five-cylinder turbodiesel's figures couldn't stand up against FCA's 3.0-liter EcoDiesel. The entire column really is worth a read, especially if you were disappointed in Ward's decision to only salute Ford's three-cylinder EcoBoost while shunning the rest of the company's new turbocharged mills.
Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA
Tue, 04 Nov 2014As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.
