-You are bidding on a VERY Nice 1947 Pickup Truck! This truck is in great shape. It runs and drives excellent and the body on this truck is in great shape! Paint color is street-rod black and trimmed in red. It has a very strong running 350 V-8 motor that is backed with a 350 turbo automatic transmission. Runs and shifts out just as it is supposed to. This little street rod will get you all of the attention you want. I get thumbs up everywhere I go!!!! It will cruise down the HWY at 70 mph with no problems. You can fly in and drive this truck home....it runs THAT STRONG! It has all new limo tinted glass. The interior is in great shape and has a new dash with all new gauges. Has a good set of bucket-seats, but It is in need of a head-liner. Speed-O works, but not hooked up. So, not sure of the true mileage on the truck. Heater works and runs great. Lights and signals are working. It has a brand new Pioneer CD player and sounds great while you're cruisin' down the road enjoying your new ride! It also has new dual exhaust that really makes it sound good! Truck is setting on a brand new set of Kokar radial tires and a new set of smoothie wheels that cost approximately $1700 (which I just purchased) and it gives this truck that "Old School Gangster" look. This truck has a GM front clip and all of the front-end has been completely rebuilt. I spent $1500 just in parts alone - labor cost not included. It also has a 12 bolt GM rear-end. If you are looking for a very dependable street rod that will get there and bring you back as well as impress everybody along the way! If you don't like a lot of attention, then this truck is NOT for you. :-) I've tried to be as honest as I can with my description. If you have any questions, feel free to call me. This truck is being sold as is with no warranty implied. Buyer is responsible for all shipping. I will be glad to assist in anyway I can with loading the vehicle if needed. Truck is being sold with miles exempt.

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Your Mileage May Vary
As difficult as it is to write this, I was actually excited about the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With the beautiful looks of the newest midsize fighter from Ford and a fuel economy estimate capable of shaming even the stalwart Camry Hybrid, the battery-augmented four-door seemed like a recipe for unabashed success. But appearances love nothing more than swapping our boundless enthusiasm for cold platters of disappointment. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid gets hobbled right out of the gate with a lofty price tag, and real-world driving keeps the sedan from even approaching those EPA figures.
With so many excellent midsize hybrids on the market, is there any reason to consider the newest Fusion Hybrid? Are sharp aesthetics, a well-executed interior and capable driving dynamics enough to overcome the machine's shortfalls? Not from where I'm standing.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford 1.0L EcoBoost a hit in Europe; Build a tiny inverter, win $1 million

Mon, Aug 11 2014

In Europe, Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is the best-selling turbocharged gasoline engine. The three-cylinder motor powers 20 percent of new Fords sold in Europe. Earlier this year, it won its third International Engine of the Year award, and between January and June, it was sold in about 120,000 cars. So far this year, 38 percent of Fords sold in the Netherlands, 35 percent in Denmark and 32 percent in Switzerland have been powered by the 1.0-liter EcoBoost. The engine's turbocharger spins at 248,000 rpm, and provides 24 psi of pressure. The engine produces up to 138 horsepower, depending on the version. Read more in the press release below. When lithium-ion battery packs are retired from the road, remanufacturing, repurposing, and recycling are worthwhile options, according to a study by Mineta Transportation Institute. The study included a cost-benefit analysis of those three options, and found remanufacturing to be the best route. To get the most out of them, batteries should be tested and have their damaged cells replaced then put back to use. Repurposing is the second best option, using the remaining available charge for something besides cars. Recycling on its own isn't profitable, but it could make economic sense with "increased technological breakthroughs." Learn more at Recycling International or download the report here. A smaller inverter for EVs can win you $1 million. The Little Box Challenge is an open competition to build a power inverter with a density of at least 50 watts per cubic inch. Google and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) are offering the hefty prize to the team that builds the inverter with the highest power density within an enclosed volume of 40 cubic inches. Teams must register by September 30. Read more at Green Car Congress or learn more at the Little Box Challenge website.

Ford gives police chiefs tech to surveil officers in their own cars

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Police officers certainly have a difficult job in keeping the streets safe, but as public employees in positions of authority, there is still a very real need for oversight. To that end, Ford is partnering with a tech company to offer a new system called Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement on its line of Police Interceptor patrol vehicles that could make cops safer, while giving cities a better idea of what its officers are doing.
The system streams live data about cruisers back to the home base to people like the police chief or shift supervisor. That info includes expected things like speed, location and cornering acceleration, but it gets incredibly granular as well, with records of things like if emergency lights are on, or even if an officer is wearing a seatbelt.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement "ought to protect officers as much as it protects the public," said Ford spokesperson Chris Terry to Autoblog. Constantly monitoring patrol cars offers cities a lot of advantages, too. First, it reduces potential liability because a department can prove where each vehicle is at all times. Also, officers know they are being watched and may potentially drive more safely.
