Hi you are looking at a 1985 Ford F250 Dually pickup. The truck has been painted but it is not the best paint job from a distance the truck look good but up close you can see some flaws and some runs also there is some poor body work down below the tailights i took a picture so that you can see it. The truck has a 460 engine and 4 speed manual trans. The engine runs good with the exception of it backfires through the carb when throttle is at 3/4 and is trying to flood a little. I talked to a local mechanic and he thinks that the problem sounde like it might be in the carb that it might need to be cleaned because i let the truck set for about a month without starting it or it might need the timing adjusted, but no guarantee that this is the problem the trans shifts good. The truck came with dual tanks but the previous owner took the front tank off and ran a new line from the fuel pump to the rear tank, the front tank is included and all it needs is a new fuel sending unit and it could be put back on. The tank selector valve is still mounted under the truck and could be hooked back up but i dont know if it works or not. The fuel level guage is not working so id say the rear tank could also use a new sending unit. The tires are in fair condition they should be fine for a while before needing replaced. The previous owner put alot of new parts on the truck including a new clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, clutch kit, new edelbrock carb, new chrome air cleaner, msd distributor cap front engine cover, and fuel pump, the battery in the truck is less than a year old. The truck frame is in good condition. the interior is in good condition with the exception of the dash being cracked pretty bad and the rubber floor mat has been cut some around the shifter. The truck has a gooseneck ball installed and electric brake box installed. The passenger side window has some specks on the outside you can feel with you hand but really cant haedly see them. The truck has a homemade gooseneck tailgate on it but it does look pretty good. I have tried to describe the truck the best i can with the good and the bad but if i didnt mention something that you would like to know please feel free to email me with any questions. The truck is sold as is where is with no warranty. buyer is responsible for local pickup. Thanks Tim

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
2014 Ford Mustang GT
Fri, 17 May 2013I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.

Ford promises 12 new global performance vehicles through 2020
Thu, Dec 11 2014Ford just keeps rolling out the big announcements today. We've already told you about the next-gen Focus RS coming to the US and the upcoming Sync 3 infotainment system. And this latest one should perk up the ears of racing fans or anyone who enjoys an enthusiastic drive (basically, all Autoblog readers). The Blue Oval says it has "more than 12" new performance vehicles on the way globally through 2020. Unfortunately, the only one that the automaker confirms at the moment is the Focus RS, but recent rumors might suggest a few others. Ford reportedly has the Shelby Mustang GT350R, next-gen F-150 Raptor and a Ford GT successor all on the way, all of which could possibly debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January. The future GT might even take the company back to racing at Le Mans. Speaking of motorsports, Ford is also blending its performance vehicle and racing efforts worldwide into a unified entity by combining SVT, Team RS and Ford Racing into a new organization called Ford Performance. It's responsible not just for excelling on the track but also for developing aero improvements, electronics, powertrain and lightweight tech for the Blue Oval's vehicles. "Our new global Ford Performance team ties together racing, performance vehicles and parts. It will allow us to more quickly introduce products and accessories that meet the needs of customers around the world on-road and on the track," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development, in the company's press release. The automaker thinks this market might be booming, especially among younger buyers. For example, recent data shows Millennials buy ST models at twice the rate of the rest of Ford's cars. Scroll down to read the Blue Oval's full announcement of the new division and the plan to get excited about things to come.
