Customized Ford F350 Crew Cab Long Bed 4x4 with the legendary bullet-proof Powerstroke 7.3 Diesel with only 79,400
miles ! That's correct, a 7.3 with less than 80,000 miles! This is a rare customized Roll-A-Long vehicle with
custom Italian leather seats, custom rear bumper, custom front grill, custom fender flares, custom 3-tone paint,
custom mud flaps, custom overhead console, custom door kick plates and custom side steps. Original owner had this
truck in (dry desert) Las Vegas until July 2013. This vehicle has an Alpine touch screen stereo DVD system with the
GPS navigation module and it's wired for satellite radio (you only need to purchase a plug-and-play receiver).
Wood dash kit, power driver's seat, automatic transmission, 2" hitch receivers front and rear. This truck has
been set up to pull a fifth wheel trailer, it has fifth wheel rails, a custom fifth wheel overhead rack with
movable cross arms that allows you to carry cargo on the roof with your fifth wheel attached ( I have carried
bikes, kayaks and a storage pod on this rack while pulling my fifth wheel), has both a fifth wheel tail gate and
the original tail gate. Rear suspension has been beefed up with Torklift Stableload leaf spring pre-actuators and
Timbren suspension kit (heavy duty rubber springs similar to air bags but never leak or need maintenance), shock
absorbers upgraded to Mountain Ryder XT 's (only 9000 miles on them). Also has frame mounted Torklift camper tie
downs if you want to mount a camper instead. Sentinel electronic brake controller. Locking tool box with "gull
wing" side opening lids (no getting into the bed to access your things). The long bed was originally lined when
new with Rhino Linings spray-on liner so the bed is in excellent condition, I added a thick rubber bed pad.
Windshield was replaced last year (rock damage), four new door actuators this winter (one was broken, I had all
four replaced). Tire size upgraded to 285 / 75 R16 's. BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires are three years old and
have only about 9000 miles on them. Non-smoking vehicle. Tow package and camper package, 3.73 limited slip axle,
day time running lights, engine block heater, power mirrors, 38 gallon fuel tank, sliding rear window. For
additional features see the picture of the original window stickers. This truck cost $46,410 when new in 1999 (not
including taxes, etc) , that's $66,975 in today's dollars (per dollartimes.com). This truck has been regularly
maintained using synthetic oil, maintenance records and owner's manuals are included. Two keys, owner's manuals,
maintenance records, clean title, pink slip (owner's certificate) in hand. Disclosure: clear coat on passenger
side shows some pealing, hood has some clear coat staining, paint and body have minor dings and scratches
commensurate with the truck's age, it looks great from 20 paces as you can see from pictures, but on close
examination you can see these cosmetic issues.

Ford, GM to collaborate on 9- and 10-speed transmissions

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online

Wed, Jun 25 2014

Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.
