Relisted due to a non-communicating and non-paying bidder. Well its been a long winter but winter is over and time to sell the Black Beauty. This was my winter project 2014 and it seemed to run over due to lack of time on my part. This restoration project includes the following: New paint where the body was worked, primed and sprayed with a quality paint that looks fabulous. All rust was addressed to eliminate the possibility of near term issues. (truck was a good one to start with) It has new aluminum wheels that are 15 x 10 inch with Cooper Cobra Tires just mounted last week. Removed rear bumper and put a roll pan on rear to give it that custom look Bed is solid and had been sprayed. Recovered seat with a new seat cover New Headliner New sun visors New arm rests Refreshed paint in cab New Interior Door handles and locks New Dash Cover New Black Pile Carpet New Bed Side Marker lights New Shocks all around New steering rag joint (tightened steering) New dual Exhaust front to rear with glass pack mufflers The truck drives and handles as it should. When I bought the truck I was told the engine had just been gone through but i cannot confirm that. It does start on the first try and runs like a top. It steers tight and brakes as it should. The trunk is a real head turner guys (and gals). I cant drive it to town without people stopping and commenting on how nice it looks. That is typically what I shoot for on my projects as whats the point if people don't like what the end product is. The truck sounds great, the transmission changes as it should and the clutch appears to be strong with no slippage. I am not an expert restoration guy by no means and hire the big stuff done by the pros like the paint job. Please ask any questions you may have and bid with confidence this is a sharp ride. Mike |

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.
2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well
Mon, 23 Sep 2013New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.
