Ford F350 Dually 7.3 Liter Turbo Diesel on 2040-cars
Boyce, Virginia, United States
The good:
Awesome running 1993 Ford F350. It has the turbo charged 7.3 liter diesel motor. As you may well know, its not uncommon to get upwards of 400k out of these motors. Slides really smooth through every gear, and a crazy amount of pull through each. Has a hitch on the front and rear, power windows, power locks and original radio, CB radio, and trailer brake/rear hookup that all work. The AC is still ice-cold! Fleet maintained, never had a heavy load seeing has not been outfitted with a gooseneck, would cost couple hundred bucks to get one installed, but peace of mind knowing it hasn't been heavily loaded. Already has ladder rack mounts connected to the frame. The paint is fading a little on the wheel wells, but whatever, its a sweeeeet truck. The bad: Needs a new front right tire to pass inspection. You still have a month, however it should be replaced anyways. Why am I not replacing it? Because I'm listing it cheap and you can put whatever tires you want on it! Why don't I clean it up? Because its a truck thats currently being used every day and I don't want to spend money on it only to ruin all that detailing. As any dually driver knows occasionally you cut a corner too close and slide the protruding wheel well against whatever is close to it. In this case it was a mailbox. It didn't cause any structural damage, but it cracked the fender, which was fixed, quite solidly, except wasn't painted..see picture. This is why the running board section on the passenger side doesn't run all the way, I never even noticed until I was looking at the pics I posted. There also is a little indicator on the dash that says "Ready to start" when you run your glow plugs long enough. The little panel its on is loose, still works perfectly fine, but is just sitting there. A crafty person could fix this with some super glue or something. I am not crafty, therefore it stays as it is. I am selling this for locally online and in the paper, therefore reserve the right to pull the listing before its closing date if sold locally. It is listed in the paper for 7k. Honestly if someone gets close to that locally I will sell it. I am selling this for a friend who has fallen on hard times, I haven't made any effort to clean it whatsoever, this is it at its worst! I have been using it every day for a demo job over 40 miles a day, running like a bat outta hell.It is not a show piece, there is minor surface rust here and there, paint fading here and there, but overall looks fantastic. Timeless awesome Ford. If someone dropped the $500 bucks for a paint job, it would be an incredible looking rig. |

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
Shelby GT350 to be auctioned for charity at Barrett-Jackson in January
Fri, Dec 26 2014If you just have to be the first person in the world to possess the latest Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang, then you need to be bidding during the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ, on January 17. That's because Ford is offering the chance to own the inaugural production example of its latest premiere pony car there. The buyer of the first GT350 gets to choose from any color and all of the available packages for their car. Although, the real highlight is probably being among the first to listen to the 5.2-liter V8 under the hood with its flat-plane crankshaft. Ford promises that the mill makes over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. To sweeten the deal even further, all of the proceeds of the sale go to the JDRF, a charity that funds type 1 diabetes research. There's no reserve on the auction for the GT350 but don't expect a bargain. Last year, the first 2015 'Stang raised $300,000 for the JDRF at the Barrett-Jackson sale, and the initial Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 brought in $650,000 for charity. You can read Ford's entire announcement about the event below. FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO SELL NEW SHELBY GT350 MUSTANG AT BARRETT-JACKSON SCOTTSDALE AUCTION TO BENEFIT JDRF First publicly available production unit of the all-new Shelby GT350® Mustang to be auctioned by Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction, with all proceeds benefiting JDRF Winning bidder will be able to choose from available colors and packages for Shelby GT350 Ford-sponsored ride-and-drives during the auction will feature a full lineup of 2015 vehicles Ford Motor Company will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the legendary Shelby GT350 Mustang by auctioning the first production unit of the new-generation car available to the public for charity at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona. All proceeds will benefit JDRF, the country's leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes research. Live coverage of the auction of the Shelby GT350 will air on Velocity on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015. The winning bidder of lot No. 3008 – selling at No Reserve – will become owner of the coveted first retail production unit of Ford Shelby GT350, and choose from available Shelby GT350 colors and packages. In January 1964, Carroll Shelby and Ford Motor Company forever altered the automotive industry with the introduction of the GT350. It was offered through Ford dealers from 1965 through 1970.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
