Was blowing cold till the front seal started leaking on the compressor. The truck will need the A/C compressor replaced with re-built unit. Then recharge the system with R134 Freon and it will blow cold again. This should not cost more than $300 to have this done. The Heater Core has been replaced as well as the electric blower motor, it blows very hot on full heat.I never use Cruise Control but truck is equipped with it. However, it is not currently working and will need to be looked at if you like Cruise/Control and need it working."

Up for your serious consideration is a one family owned, completely frame off restoration 1986 Ford F-250 HD , XLT Lariat, Camper Special , 4X4. My father, who has passed away, purchased this truck all those years ago brand NEW of the lot from Don Kott Ford of Carson, California on March, 22nd 1986 . This completely rust free truck has spent all of her days in sunny Santa Monica, Ca until my uncle took it over after our dad died. He drove it a short time and then parked it in his garage for a few years till my husband and I took it over and put it through a major restoration that took four years and over $20K . Since the restoration the truck has been driven very little, only weekends and car shows.

Engine Rebuild:

The engine underwent a complete dis-assembly, thorough cleaning and inspection of all internal parts. All necessary  machine work was done, high quality USA made parts were used to rebuild this 460 Ford.. The engine is running well and only has ~5000 miles since the rebuild.

Left & Right Exhaust Manifolds-- Solid Copper Exhaust Manifold Gaskets -- Tune Up Parts -  Distributor Cap -Rotor -Spark Plugs - Plug Wire Set - Electronic Ignition Module - Rebuilt Distributor - High Heat Boot Protectors .

Transmission and Transfer Case:

 We remember the transmission had been rebuilt before dad died and did not have many miles put on it. It was opened up anyway and inspected and only needed a filter kit ,  fluid change , and  the seals replaced. We also chose to install  a new chrome "Oversize" pan & filter kit. Transmission works great with no issues.
Transfer case was opened up inspected & rebuilt with a kit, all seals bearings were replaced as well as a new chain.  Both units are working great. Low gear /  Low Range she will climb up a mountain.

Body and Paint Work:

All the metal - cab, doors, fenders, bed box, are the originals and true to the truck. None of the body parts were replaced with imported after market parts. The front bumper, grill and headlamp bezels were replaced with high quality replacements. The truck body was very straight and rust free before the restoration work and did not need much if any body work at all, just needed normal prep in front of laying down a high quality paint job. The original color of the truck was red with red interior but we decided to go with "Viper Blue" and black interior which really made the truck look awesome.

Chassis:

Truck has never been in an accident, which is why the body is so straight and the chassis is perfect. Just needed to be cleaned and repainted. This was done during the restoration process. Front suspension was rebuilt .

Ford readying three-row Edge for China

Fri, Nov 21 2014

The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.

Performance CNG wants to crowdfund natural gas-powered Ford Mustang

Fri, May 16 2014

Soliciting investments to develop a street-legal compressed natural gas (CNG) powered Ford Mustang that can deliver 470 horsepower certainly wouldn't make sense on a site called Indiestopstop. Nope, Indiegogo is the more-appropriately-named site that one Michigan entrepreneur is using to try and crowdfund his CNG 'Stang. He's looking to raise $55,000. Michigan's Daryl Patrishkoff and his company Performance CNG LLC showed off their converted 2003 Mustang last year at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Royal Oak, MI in an effort to get some exposure for the car, which can run on both gas and CNG. The company and its three-man team is looking to further develop the project in the name of a fueling source that is 40 percent cheaper than gasoline, throws off as much as 30 percent fewer tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions and makes the country less dependent on foreign oil. Performance CNG estimates that just 120,000 of the world's 15 million CNG-powered vehicles are in the US and is calling for more. As for the $55 grand, Patrishkoff estimates that more than half of that amount would be committed to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) testing of emissions, fuel economy and horsepower. The problem? As of right now, only $150 has been raised. Check out Performance CNG's press release below and see the fundraising effort on Indiegogo here. Eco-Friendly Muscle Car? CNG vehicles save money, emit less pollution and creates jobs from American-mined fuel SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., May 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Daryl Patrishkoff of Shelby Township, MI, has a vision for the American automotive industry. He firmly believes that our fuel of choice should be Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), not gasoline. Until the full CNG infrastructure is in place a Bi-Fuel vehicle, fueled by either CNG or gasoline upon the drivers command, is the bridge vehicle that can lead this transition. Patrishkoff heads up a (3) man technical team developing this technology. The advantages are: 40 percent savings in fuel costs at the pump 25-30 percent reduction in harmful emissions 100 percent US provided natural gas Meaningful employment for the US economy The most important benefit, however, is that a CNG-powered vehicle runs on fuel that can be mined in America, eliminating the need for foreign oil. "After decades of political rhetoric, these types of vehicles can truly lead the US to energy independence," he said.

Vaughn Gittin Jr. takes his dog for a drift

Tue, 09 Sep 2014


Vaughn Gittin Jr. spends a great deal of his workday going sideways, but he's usually alone in the endeavor. For a guy that is clearly a dog lover, we imagine that can get a bit lonely.
That won't be a problem for Gittin in this latest video, which features the racer hanging out with his good pal Brody (a dog) and everyone's favorite hot hatch, the Ford Fiesta ST.
