1959 Ford F100 Stepside 4x4 truck. 292 "Y" Block engine, Holley 2 Barrel carb. Runs great, but I did have to put a charge on the battery. Battery will be replaced if needed. Has Spicer 24 Transfer case, Warn lock outs and the 4x4 works. I only took it off road very limited but would use it in the snow some for fun. Has Falken Rocky Mtn tires, 33x12.5x15, Load C that are in good shape but do have a little checking. Class 5 Reese hitch not installed but comes with it. No speakers are currently hooked up to under dash radio. Dash remains intact. Interior is in great shape from a mid '90s frame off restoration. Exterior could use a new paint job after surface rust prep. I bought the truck from out of Colorado, but it was owned by the Gpa in California who owned a shop and did the resto. He died after truck was done and they left it set under a tree. Brakes, carb, tires, tune up were done before I got it 1 1/2 yrs ago. Frame and under the radiator are notched for what appears to be a forward mounted PTO driven pump or whinch at one time. Don't know for sure, but truck was probably Govt, Municipal, Forestry??? You don't come acrossed original '59 4x4 very often. I Hate to sell this unique truck, but need $ for a real estate deal. I will work with your shipper and truck can stay here for 1 month after paid in full. For sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early. I will be glad to talk with you on the phone about truck and all I know of the history from previous owner. Questions call Brent @ 317-446-4824 * mileage is unknown

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
