1969 Ford F100 Ranger, swb, 2wd.  1966 390GT engine rebuilt with <2000 miles: Holley 750, Edelbrock Performer intake, completely rebuilt C6AE-R 14-bolt GT heads (new valves, seats, guides, springs, retainers, surfaced), .040" overbore flat top pistons, Erson cam (can't remember the cam specs), HV oil pump, electronic distributor with MSD ignition.  Runs great and is quick.  Power steering, power disc brakes with brand new rotors, calipers, pads, flex lines, shocks (front).  Slightly lower than stock.  3.25:1 gears in 9-inch rear.  Toploader 4-speed trans from a car.  Dual 3-inch exhaust from the original GT cast manifolds back, with flowmaster 40-series mufflers.  It's like a built Mustang or Fairlane but in a pickup.  It's just a little lopey at idle, and sounds great.

The interior is an older custom job with Ford bucket seats (original type).  See photos.  The interior is in excellent condition. 

The tires are in ok condition but are older.  275/60R15, front rims are 8" wide and the rear are 10" wide, to make the track look better.  I have stock rims and hubcaps included.

 It really could use a good detailing....

The paint is from the late 80's and is faded and tired.  The body is good however.  I've owned this truck since 1991 and it's never been driven in winter or salt.

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.

Here's what the UAW will be angling for in next year's contract negotiations

Mon, Dec 15 2014

The United Auto Workers union is about to enter a new round of negotiations with the Detroit Three automakers, and this time, the focus is on the end of the two-tier wage system. Introduced in 2007, the two-tier wage system was enacted to allow General Motors, Ford and Chrysler to categorize its hourly employees under two categories: Tier 1 for veteran employees with full rights and benefits, and Tier 2 for short-term or entry-level employees compensated under a different schedule. The idea was that the system would permit the automakers to invest more in their plants and hire new employees as part of their respective recovery plans without being saddled with all the costs associated with hiring full-time employees. Now that the automakers are (more or less) back on their proverbial feet, however, the UAW wants to see an end to the two-tier system, and will likely make that a center-point of its negotiations next year to replace the current arrangement that is scheduled to end in September 2015. Not all members of the UAW will necessarily be interested in ending the two-tier system, however. According to The Detroit News, some Tier 1 workers may be more interested in negotiating a raise in their hourly rate – something which they haven't received in almost a decade. Tier 2 workers, meanwhile, may be more motivated to keep the tiered system in place, as their arrangement includes provisions for profit-sharing payments that have seen the automakers pay out billions to so-called short-term employees in lump-sum payments. Reconciling the two competing demands from two categories of union members and presenting a united front in negotiations may prove the biggest challenge for the UAW's new president, Dennis Williams. And with the right to strike – something which was suspended during the last round of negotiations in 2011 – the union has a bigger bargaining chip in its pocket.
