I have had this for about a year,  gradually repaired everything that was wrong with it, with the exception of a few things left

  Car has... New trunk floor from C2C, rear quarters under what was the washboards have been replaced with metal patch panels welded in,
 New Gas Tank, New fuel pump, new fuel lines, new water pump, a rebuilt Holley 4 bbl carb, new plugs, points, condensor, wires and cap. a New 1 wire alternator. New ignition switch,

 I have changed the leaky original slave cylinder style power steering with a new Borgeson power steering conversion box, new flaming river steering column and a new Flaming river waterfall steering wheel.
  Also changed the original drum brakes on the front to Power disc kit from Scarebird industries. 

The interior has been updated with 65 Thunderbird seats, non power, and the original rear seat,  The console is from a 1972 Oldsmobile 442 with the Oldsmobile floor shifter connected to the cruise-omatic trans.
New Carpet kit all new interior in very good quality vinyl. done by a locally famous upholstery shop here in Grants Pass Oregon.
 The car has new 15" tires with a one inch whitewall, wheels had to be up sized from the original 14" to clear the disc brake calipers,  it has a full set of spider center covers and beauty rings  
   A nice set of original Starliner fender skirts and I will also include a pair of new dummy spotlights.
  
Starliner has been brought to the first step towards paint,  it is a epoxy primer on top of 80 grit final sanding,  It will need blocking and final paint
     
It has a new heater core and temp control for the heater.  Original radio I did not bother to re connect,  The dash and all interior pieces has been removed and painted Flame red,  it also has a brand new
Padded dash cap. No speaker was installed when I put the dash back in the car. 
 The passengers side front fender had to be repaired (Not a real good fit)  but I now have a stamped repair panel when it does get replaced.
There is NO rust in the floors, trunk or body panels anywhere that I found.  at least not any more.
  
  The windshield and passengers door glass are both cracked.  I have a new windshield rubber seal and a new back glass window seal.  both need to be replaced. 

 The 352 is the original engine and purrs like a kitten with almost instant starts,  trans shifts like it is supposed to.   Right now the only things left are replacing the seals and glass, straightening the little dents in the fender stainless, rechrome the bumpers and have the new headliner installed. ( If I receive the rear seal before it sells I will have the new headliner installed as it evidently has to go under the front and rear seals.
   It has 2" lowering blocks in the rear and `1 coil removed from the front.
 Any questions , just ask, I will answer as soon as I can
'
I reserve the right to remove this auction at any time as it is for sale locally

I added some more photo's...  Remember this is an original motor and drivetrain,  I WAS going to just clean it up a bit and drive it as a survivor,   I did not do any cleaning or painting under the hood with the exception of the Borgeson steering box and the new Master cylinder/booster, of course the new brake lines, new fuel pump and water pump etc.  Trunk is dusty from the epoxy overspray.

Ford unveils all-new 2016 F-650 and F-750 at NTEA

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Medium-duty work trucks might not be the most exciting vehicles, but they perform necessary jobs everyday. Ford is in the process of a complete refresh of its entire commercial vehicle lineup over the next 18 months, and it is debuting the all-new versions of its F-650 and F-750 trucks at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN.
"The all-new F-650/F-750 allow us to leverage our strengths and sales leadership in Classes 1 to 5 to create a better F-650/F-750 that's designed, engineered and built by Ford in the USA," said Ford spokesperson Mike Levine to Autoblog via email.
Huge amounts of torque is vital for trucks like these, and both models are offered with some of Fords biggest engines. Buyers can opt for either the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel with TorqShift 6-speed automatic with available power takeoff or a gasoline-fueled 6.8-liter V10 with a 6-speed automatic. The V10 can also be ordered from the factory to be fueled by compressed natural gas or liquid propane gas.

eBay Find of the Day: 25-station video gaming trailer w/ bonus Ford F-250

Fri, Nov 28 2014

Why, you might be asking yourself, is Autoblog showing me an eBay Motors listing for a 2006 Ford F-250 and a box trailer (with a badly cropped photo to boot)? It's not because we're highly interested in this blue-collar rig, to be sure, but rather because we're interested in throwing the greatest Forza party of all time. Housed in that innocuous white 26-foot trailer is a gamer's delight, with 25 Xbox 360 systems connected up to 25 high-definition monitors and 24 headsets to keep everyone locked into the action (one of the stations is outside the trailer). When connected up to one of two included generators, the setup allows for two-dozen combatants to square off, back-to-back and head-to-head. Sure, the Buy It Now price of $79,000 seems steep considering the trailer will need about ten grand worth of Xbox One or Playstation 4 upgrades in the near future. But that doesn't mean you couldn't squeeze out a few more years of massive multiplayer fun. Check out the listing here, and do let us know if you buy it, we'd love to come over and game.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
