2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty Lariat Crew Cab Pickup 4-door 7.3l on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
As much as I hate to, I am selling my truck to start another business. I've owned this beauty since 2008, when I bought it from a dealer who got it from an Army Pilot in fort rucker. It had 169,000 on it then, and has 211,000 now.
It's been my backup truck, hasn't seen any heavy towing or abuse, and is in IMMACULATE mechanical condition. The outside I would rate an 8.5/10. Been indoors almost every night since I've owned it. Has power mirrors, power drivers seat, and stock radio with 6-CD changer. The injectors/glow plugs are fresh, FORD, and upgraded. The Luk clutch is a dream to drive, the wiring harness is NEW, the ball joints are NEW, and it has a custom tow/economy PCM flash. This is NOT a hot-rod, hasn't been ragged out or towed a bobcat around all day. It has done some RV towing, moved my bikes around, and towed the tractor a few times. Fluids/Filters have been done on time, and this has NEVER had a DROP of any alternative fuel through it. These trucks, with this motor, in this condition are VERY tough to locate. ALL work has been done at PowerStroke Specialty in Buford GA, and the owner himself will vouch for this thing's condition. His website is very informative. I have many, many thousands of dollars in work done to this truck, and it is priced accordingly. Some of the parts for these motors are getting tough to find (like the wiring harness) and this one has already had them replaced. You're welcome. The suspension is top notch, and has been attended to. I am NOT going to listen to lowball offers. I have had 2 of these for 7 years now, and been around the block on fixes, both bad and good. I'm personal friends with Bill Hewitt (powerstrokehelp DOT com) and he has looked after this thing up until last christmas, when I moved to Phoenix. No smoke from oil fill, no skip, nada. This motor runs like a scalded dog. Boost tops out at around 23.5psi, showing turbo is at full capacity. Truck currently has a professionally installed and tuned SuperChips Digital Propane Injection kit. I will gladly take it off and keep it, and knock $850 off the price. If you tow, and aren't a complete moron, propane injection is THE way to go for extra power, clean burn, and longevity. 6 speed manual transmission, and 2WD. This is a purpose built truck to tow safely, efficiently, and comfortably down the road for YEARS to come. I'm not going to re-sell you on the idea of the 7.3 - it does that on its own. However, I've had 2 of these for years now, and I can tell you that stuff does wear out on them. My other one is the workhorse, and has 360K on the dash. This one is my baby, and looks accordingly. Has a full turboback 3" MBRP exhaust. Sounds great, and gets 21mpg if you keep your foot out of the throttle. . .. On the interior, the only modifications are the addition of a boost gauge and pyrometer on the pillar, and I made a custom shift knob from solid walnut on my lathe, which has a shotgun brass for an accent. (I bird hunt a lot). If you don't like it, the stock one is in the glove box. Parking brake needs fixing, but to be perfectly honest, the stock parking brake on these didn't do much when it was brand new. Has 5th wheel rails in the bed, and a spray-on bedliner. Tailgate has been replaced with a stock white ford one after last one got dented. Yes you can come test drive. No you cannot joyride around. 211,xxx on the dash. Shell Rotella every 3500. Batteries are AC Delco, and sit on a tender at least 2x/week. Detail items that I am attending to this week are: - New LED bulbs on roof of cab - new fuses - new A/C compressor (it's HOT here in phoenix....) Located in a warehouse (this thing stays in a garage, always) near Cactus Road and 51. |

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri
Mon, Sep 19 2016Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different
Fri, May 8 2020The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.
