Very low reserve Here's a 51 ford f-1 with 48 front end. I picked this up as unfinished project, which is how I'm selling it, I was told by previous 10 yr owner that has a 1977 ford rebuilt 460 with cam, auto c-6 trans gone through by local trans shop. The motor and trans starts drives shifts down the road, motor sounds good with no smoke, has a new HEI dist. and a New Aluminum race radiator keeps engine nice and cool no overheating. I would put a electric fan on it and take mech fan off, as it sits above the radiator, could get hand caught if not careful and would cool and look better. The engine sat for a spell so has old gas in it I would change feul filter and put new gas in it. Also does'nt have a choke so you have to pump gas to start. I would put a manual choke on to help with that. Has a 89 s-10 front end with all wheel disc brakes powersteering and power brakes all works well and feels like it goes down the road straight. Did'nt take over 55 mph. Frame has been boxed in the rear, welds look abit sloppy but not too awful, its solid. Has adjustable air bags in the rear. The truck has had body work done in the past, and will need finished. Has new Aluminum fuel cell mounted in rear. No Tailgate Bed was custom made and a nice job. Running boards are custom made look nice but will need bolted better to truck. Has a homemade dual exhaust. Has wheels adapters put on so ford wheels would fit on it. I Believe it wheel run chevy wheels when those are taken off. Tires are in good shape. Have the rear Glass and DS glass is ther but broken, PS glass and mechinism is gone. Having a new windshield made, it will be included in the sale. The doors shut ok but you have to shut the DS door hard for it to latch tight. Seast are Bolted down and sets at a good hieght to drive. Has new Dolpin Guages that seem to work , speedo works, The wiring for radio lights and radio will need finished, and the tailgights are just sitting in place not bolted in. Not sure what lights work and which ones if any do. Radio does'nt power up. Does'nt have a key start, just flip a switch and push button starter. The truck is drivable shifts good, needs a few odds and ends but would make a sweet Big Block truck when complete, or a sweet Ratrod, made to your liking, Comes with a clear open title in previous owners name. The hood is just sitting on truck, it is in rough shape , not sure if it can be repaired or not, I will secure it for transport eight in bed of truck or on truck. May consider trade or buy now offer. Buying this as-is Please ask questions before bidding. 500 deposit 24 hrs after auction final in 5 days certified funds. Pick in 30 days in Kingsville ohio 44048 Right off I-90

Ford offering factory-spec EcoBoost reflashes that don't void warranty*
Sat, Dec 27 2014Buy a supercharger or cold-air kit from Ford Racing and a Performance Calibration handset comes with it to reset the ECU for the upgrade. Now Ford Racing is offering the ProCal handset a la carte for $595, allowing you to reflash the ECU on your EcoBoost-equipped ride to extract more of its inherent capabilities without any additional upgrades. It gives you control of variables such as throttle response, idle speed and turbo wastegate control, among others. As for that warranty asterisk, the press release says enthusiasts can up the power "while maintaining the Ford-backed limited warranty." However Ford Motor Co. and Ford Racing are separate entities, and, best we can tell, when you reflash the ECU, your Ford warranty gets supplanted by the Ford Racing warranty. Say you bought a 2014 Ford, that means your five-year, 60,000-mile warranty becomes Ford Racing's three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, if we're reading the fine print correctly. If you have an older car and have driven more than 36,000 miles, then your warranty options are kaput, at least as far as a Ford in-house option. If have warranty concerns, you might also want to consider having a dealer perform the reflash, or at least ask about it. Once you've got past the small print, what about the numbers? At the moment Ford Racing offers tunes for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost in the Focus ST and the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the Fiesta ST, and we're told there's a 90-pound-foot boost in torque at the crank after you've pressed the right buttons. Anecdotal evidence from a commenter at Road & Track says he went from 252 horsepower at the flywheel to 254 hp at the wheels, and 272 lb-ft at the flywheel to 354 lb-ft at the wheels, but we can't be sure that his adjustments were within Ford Racing specs. Your mileage, naturally, may vary. What about custom numbers for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the 2015 Ford Mustang? They aren't ready yet, but we're told we'll get something by the end of next year.

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
