If you have a rusted out or wrecked Courier, this might be the car for you. It has one of the nicest, rust free bodies I've ever seen on an old truck this age. The orange paint is original and there are no spots on the truck where it's been repainted or repairs have been made. Even the box is in great undamaged shape. I bought it thinking that I'd be able to put on new brakes and tires, tune it up and end up with a vehicle anyone would be proud to own. But, the seller neglected to mention one little thing: the engine is frozen. I made the mistake of thinking that since the truck looked so well taken care of the engine would naturally be good too. Not true. Now I am done with it. All I want to do is get rid of it and learn a little lesson along the way. I am not in the mind-set of pulling and rebuilding this engine or finding another one and installing it. It's not going to happen. I've already refused a couple of people who would like to have me put in a good engine and repost it for sale. Nope. I'm too old and cranky about the whole thing.

As you can see from the pictures, this is a rare find of a Courier in such rust free, non abused shape. One person who called was exploring the possibility of putting a 302 Ford engine in it. They say it can be done.

The truck was owned by a couple that got too old to drive it and parked it in 2000. It was under a roof most of the time. The title got eaten by mice so I have a bill of sale. It's been off the books long enough for it to be easy to get a new title, which I was getting ready to do, but not any more. I will not do anything more other than sell it. All shipping and paperwork will be the responsibility of the buyer.

I really feel bad about this. I've looked long and hard for a Courier in such good shape, and I hope someone will buy it and do justice to it.

If you decide to buy it, details on payment will be worked out at that time.

Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.

Next Ford Mustang to drop 400 pounds

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

The Ford Mustang is already the lightest of the current crop of muscle cars, at around 3,600 pounds for a GT coupe with the six-speed manual transmission. That's almost 260 pounds less than a Chevrolet Camaro SS and about 450 pounds less than a Dodge Challenger R/T, which means the Mustang has a pretty big advantage when it comes to handling, braking, accelerating and economy. More good news: The next Mustang will be even lighter.
According to a report from Edmunds, the sixth-generation Mustang, which is set to debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, will shed an additional 400 pounds of body fat. That 11-percent weight reduction will be thanks to lightweight materials, with a particular focus on using stronger, but less material in construction. Aluminum will feature heavily, but Edmunds' inside source warns that there is "nothing terribly exotic" coming to the original pony car.
The other big news is that the new Mustang will be smaller overall. It's going to be 15-inches shorter than the 188.5-inch Mustang on sale today, while it'll also be 6.5 inches narrower. Shorter overhangs, both in the front and rear, are also good signs for those that want an agile Mustang.
