1955 Ford F250 V8 on 2040-cars
Luck, Wisconsin, United States
|
This is a nice 1955 Ford F250 V8 Stake Bed Truck. Better than average condition normally seen, especially in this neck of the woods. Truck is in original condition, has not been redone. Was used as a farm truck for most of it's life. First in Wisconsin, then in Minnesota until about 1977. Originally came with a 239 V8, which put out about 113 HP, but owner in Minnesota ran it out of oil and replaced it with a 59-60 292 V8, which was a nice upgrade because it put out about 193 HP. Engine runs great. Always starts, even in below zero temperatures. Truck has been used at least weekly on short trips to neighbors since I've had it, which is over a year. Prior to that is was stored in a pole shed for about 30 years. Last year it was registered prior to me was 1977. Drives fine. Has four speed manual transmission with granny. Clutch works fine. Has manual steering. Has manual brakes that work, but should be upgraded if to be used on longer trips. Heater and defrost seem to work. All gauges work except fuel and temp. Tires are pretty good. All glass is good, except drivers door window is cracked. Body is not bad. A few rust spots in the corners, but looks good. Frame is also in good shape. Floor is in decent shape. Original mats are still there. Interior isn't bad either. Dash and doors look good. Seat is a little worn on drivers side back. Was stored in pole building most of it's life. Hood is nice. Has the F100 emblems on the hood for some reason unknown to me. Original metal identification plate in glove box. Has 12 volt electrical system. All lights, horn and blinkers work. Has 43320 original miles and odometer does work. Have clear title and is currently registered/licensed. Identification plate says it is a F250 3/4T made in Dallas, Texas, 6900 GVWR, 118" wheel base, 4.86 differential. Would make a fun driver the way it is, or a nice base to start with on a restore. See pictures for best description. Contact me with questions of if more pictures are needed. Will assist in loading. Can be driven on to trailer. Delivery is a possible option depending on distance. Can be discussed with buyer. Accepted offers, over my starting price, is always possible, using the "buy it now" option, as long as no bids have been placed.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
Holy crime-fighting Ford F-150, Batman!
Thu, 18 Jul 2013What would Batman drive for his weekly trips to Home Depot for the bits and pieces needed to keep his lair deep below Wayne Manor in tip-top condition? Certainly not the Batmobile - there's no way a 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit between the wheel wells, not to mention the fact that jet turbine engines have an unfortunate tendency to set trailers on fire when towing...
No, what Batman needs is a pickup truck. The boys from Ford teamed up with Galpin Auto Sports to build just such a machine, and it has just debuted at Comic Con. Designed by Jared Barris, grandson of the legendary kustomizer George Barris, the 2012 F-150 pickup you see here, dubbed Crime Fighter, is painted Tuxedo Black with Ferrari Red highlights and is affixed with fins on each side of the truck bed. It's nothing if not unique.
Well, it's at least unique for now. According to Ford, Galpin in Southern California is willing to take orders for customers looking to don a cape and hit the town for a night of crime-fighting action. Or trips to Home Depot. Check out our high-res image gallery and then scroll down for the official description from Ford. We're waiting for details such as pricing and build time from Ford, and we'll update this post if and when we hear back.
Ford EcoBoost smashes records at Daytona
Thu, 10 Oct 2013Some mighty machines have lapped the banks of the Daytona International Speedway over the years: thunderous V8-powered stock cars, Le Mans-conquering Group C prototypes, open-wheel Champ Cars, knee-dragging superbikes... heck, the infield lake has even hosted powerboat racing. But this - this is the fastest car ever to lap the legendary raceway.
What you're looking at is the new Daytona Prototype being prepared by Riley Technologies for the new United SportsCar Championship. The car, released just last week, is powered by a new 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 from Ford's EcoBoost family, and just obliterated the top speed at the track with a blistering 222.971 miles per hour through the traps.
That's enough to annihilate the previous record that was set, also under Ford power, by Bill Elliott while placing his Thunderbird on pole for the 1987 Daytona 500 that he would go on to win. His 210.364 mph record had stood for 26 years until now.
