1997 Ford F-250 Hd 4x4 Short Bed Crew Cab 460. Only 133k Miles. No Reserve. on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States

Behold the behemoth of Heavy Duty Hauling: The truck we lovingly call "Obi Wan Kenobi."
This 1997 Heavy Duty F-250 is the hard-to find Short Bed Crew Cab version, and it has been updated with an Air Ride load leveling air bag kit. This kit cleverly connects between the leaf spring perch and the hitch in the rear, meaning you can dial in this truck to sit perfectly straight under just about any load. I towed a 25' Airstream like it wasn't there. I hauled a cabover camper while towing a trailer with my rock crawler: No bounce, no jounce. It's the perfect tow vehicle. It's also the perfect construction hauler. I've used this truck for more than a few trips to the dump with construction debris, instead of hiring trash removal services. The truck paid for itself in 6 trips on one construction job! Need to get construction materials like pavers or bricks? This dude will take a 2000 lbs palette straight from a fork lift and then beg for more! On the outside, this truck looks like it's been through Hell and Back. It is obvious that nobody has every cared for the appearane of this beast. There's dings, scratches and dents on every body panel. The interior is... "trucky," with some vinyl cracks and a few stains here and there in the fabric upholstery. No tears though. But overall, it's rough and ready, just the way I like it, and just the way the prior owner liked it also. I prefer a truck that I can USE without fear. Frankly, I thought I would have killed this rig a long time ago, but like a Russian character out of an Action flick, this Heavy Duty Ford is exactly that: Heavy Friggin' Duty! The BAD: The front differential ran out of lubricant, and broke some teeth two days after i got the truck 3 years ago. The front hubs are now disengaged and the front drive shaft has been removed, and the truck is a 4x2 until this is fixed. I never really needed 4x4. But I have purchased a replacement 4:01 front pumpkin that will be included in the auction, and it should cost around $350 to install it at your local 4x4 shop. If you're handy and have the right tools, you can do this job yourself in about half a day. Rear passenger door window crank motor is shot, or might need wiring repair. Rear door lock solenoids are sticky and need more than one push of the button sometimes to lock/unlock. Dash pad has vinyl scratches and gouges. There is a statue of Obi-Wan Kenobi glued rather crudely onto the dashboard. He glares at the passenger of this rig at all times. The GOOD Mechanically, this truck is quite sound, with only 133,000 miles (and counting) on it. The E4OD transmission seems to have been rebuilt, it shifts quite firmly without a load, and just right under load. The 460/7.5L engine fires up every time and runs smoothly. Pulls like all 460s: Hard. I've had it tuned up real good last year, and it passes smog easily, with new plugs, MAF sensor and cleaned injectors. Tow package with an extra HD transmission cooler. New brake pads all around, two new front calipers, and front alignment: $1500 Warn front lock out hubs. Pre-wired to accept a Six Pac Cabover Camper electrical plug. Also comes with custom tie-down points for cabover campers on the bed. Just paid $400 to have all the wiring done properly last Thanksgiving. Brand new BF Goodrich Rough Terrain tires all around, which cost me close to $1000 installed last week. New Battery installed last fall. New Heater Core element installed last year. AC and Heater work as new. SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, NO WARRANTY, NO SHIPPING. This rig is also listed locally, so I reserve the right to end this listing early, so bid often and early! Do the math: This truck has $1000 in new tires, and $1500 in brakes in the last 5000 miles. Bidding starts at $2000 with no reserve. Enough said. I have a perfect feedback rating so far as a seller, and I intend to keep it that way. What you see is what you get. This is a rough and ready work truck, nothing more, nothing less. I bought it to tow my Airstream trailer, my Rock Crawler, and to do some construction hauling. It's paid for itself on the hauling alone, and it's time for me to upgrade to a more... refined travel vehicle for my wife/kids. But whoever picks this beast up for work... Obi-Wan won't let you down. Clear title. No back fees. Full tank of gas. Go! Good luck bidding. |

Reflecting on the Ford GT on its 10-year anniversary
Thu, 10 Apr 2014Ten years ago, during the bright-eyed enthusiasm of the early 2000s and before the collective automotive industry did its best Titanic impression, we had the Ford GT. An everyman's supercar like there'd never been (remember, this was before 638-horsepower Corvettes were a thing), the GT arrived with a supercharged, 5.4-liter V8 that produced 550 horsepower and graced this retro-styled rocket with an easy, sub-four-second sprint to 60 miles per hour.
Equal to the GT's performance were its looks. Inspired by the GT40 racers that dominated Le Mans and bested Ferrari in the 1960s, the sleek, low, almost-reptilian look of the GT was the absolute pinnacle of the retro styling that so defined the early 2000s.
Crank and Piston put together a video celebrating the ten-year-old GT, arguing that Ford is a bit too busy with the next-gen Mustang, which turns 50 next week, to do it themselves. In the short clip, there is gratuitous engine noise and supercharger whine, not to mention scenes of the white-on-red GT prowling the deserts and streets of Dubai. It's a bit short, but very nicely shot. Scroll down, have a look and be sure to turn up those speakers before getting started.
Ford will keep Escape and MKC plant open an extra week to meet demand
Thu, Jun 8 2017Crossovers keep selling like popular pastries, and for Ford, that means it needs to keep production going. The company announced that, rather than the usual two-week shutdown, its Louisville, Ky., assembly plant will be open for one of those weeks. The plant builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, which Ford reports have had record sales. According to Ford, Escape sales through May are up 3 percent, and MKC sales are up 10 percent compared with last year. In total, the Escape has sold about 130,000 units through May, and the MKC has sold around 11,000. Keeping the Louisville plant open will allow the company to build an additional 8,500 vehicles. Ford stated that all other assembly plants will continue with the two-week shutdown as scheduled.

V8 from Butler Performance that's based on an actual Pontiac V8, not just another Chevy engine. The whole thing is subtle with a low-key metallic green and clean gray wheels. There isn't any overly flashy chrome or decals.
