First things first I want everyone to be aware of two very important things. 1. This truck is in need of transmission work (read description) 2. This is a true NO RESERVE auction (no fake bids and no games on my end, next Thursday April 18th the high bidder will own it!)


This is a 1996 F250 4X4 7.3 Powerstroke truck for someone that wants a good work truck for a great price. Motor starts up very nice, strong batteries and glow plugs, no heavy smoke or blow by. Once in every 5 turns the starter won't engage, but let is stop and hit it again it will will crank just fine. The transmission will move the truck around in reverse and forward only when it is cold (actually shifts through the gears just fine) but when the fluid gets a bit warm it will stop moving, turn the engine off and put it in gear and it will drive for a few feet again. I'm not sure if it needs a torque converter, transmission pump or just a full out rebuild, either way this is exactly as you will buy it. It will need towed or to be put on a trailer to get it home. Also the left rear leaf spring shackle is rusted through. I am unaware of the condition of any of the brakes, ball joints, tie rods, and the truck has not been checked out or serviced and the PA inspection has just expired. The frame is fairly clean and solid, see pictures. Tires are 50% or so, no major leaks.

Cosmetically it's as you would expect for a Pennsylvania born and raised 17 year old Ford. Rust spots starting in all the usual spots, both bed sides, both extended cab bottoms, both front fender bottoms, tailgate. Not falling apart but she has her fair share of corrosion. No major dents or damage other than the rust, but it is a little faded. It is missing an F250 molding on the one side and some center caps, like I said it's a great work truck. Interior is all there and pretty decent. No major rips or tears, all glass is nice, no bad smells inside either. It could use a clean up.

Here is your chance to get into one of these classic 7.3's for cheap money, I'm letting it rip because I need it off my books next week so if you are a buyer please put your bids in with the intention of owning her, it's a true no reserve guys, don't email me later crying cause someone out bid you for $.01, get your bid in high as you can spend and hopefully you'll get it cheap. Good luck. For all serious questions or concerns or if you want to come take a look at it feel free to give me a call, my name is Zach 717-361-6650. It is being sold by Platinum Car and Truck Sales, LLC in Elizabethtown, PA, it will be sold AS-IS and all proper disclosers will be made in writing at the time of delivery.

Watch Ken Block's scary Rally America crash from inside the cockpit

Wed, 19 Feb 2014

Ken Block became famous for his series of Gymkhana videos, but he's a real racer in his own right. Block has competed many rounds in the FIA World Rally Championship and also rallied in the 2013 Rally America series. He nearly won that latter title last year - if not for a massive crash in the final event of the season.
Block and his co-driver Alex Gelsomino went into the Lake Superior Performance Rally needing a win to take the championship. However, missing a clump of dirt on the side of the road and one little word in the pace notes was all it took to catapult Block's Fiesta off the road and into a tumbling accident. Block says his initial reaction was anger because the crash came out of nowhere.
For 2014, Block is joining the FIA World Rallycross Championship for at least three rounds. He'll drive a Ford Fiesta for the Hoonigan Racing Division at the Norwegian, French and Turkish events of the 12-round championship. Former Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve will also compete in the series.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, BMW i8, Ford F-150 win 2015 Green Car Awards in DC [w/video]

Tue, Jan 27 2015

There were three shiny trophies handed out at the Washington Auto Show last week by Green Car Journal, and they went to three different examples of what "green" means in the automotive industry today. The Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel won the award for the 2015 Green SUV of the Year, the BMW i8 was named the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year and the Ford F-150 took the 2015 Green Car Technology Award honor. There is a case to be made that the aluminum body of the new Ford truck will make a bigger impact in the overall fuel usage in the US than almost any other vehicle, given the numbers of F-150s that Ford sells each year. The B20 biodiesel-capable Jeep gets up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. And the i8 puts all sorts of new, fuel-saving technologies into an attractive package. Looking over the winners, and the list of finalists you can see in our photo gallery, and you can see that the definition of green is expanding every year. You can watch Green Car Journal editor Ron Cogan hand out the 2015 awards in the video below and we'll for sure be paying attention to what wins next year. 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year and Green Car Technology Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has named the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel its 2015 Green SUV of the Year™ and the BMW i8 its 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year™, with the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 earning the magazine's 2015 Green Car Technology Award™. Winners were determined by a jury of Green Car Journal editors and automotive experts. The prestigious awards were announced in Washington, D.C. today at a Green Car Awards™ press conference held during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day at the Washington Convention Center. "These are truly commendable vehicles representing the 'best-of-the-best' in so many ways," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "The auto industry's very early focus on small cars and efficiency-for-environment tradeoffs has evolved to now include a more dynamic field of 'greener' models in all vehicle classes. Those wanting greater efficiency or better environmental performance are no longer constrained by limited choices or vehicle types that fall outside their top purchase preferences.

Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.
